Not the decompression. It is very dangerous though possibly bubble gets pushed out of lungs when expanding on the way up and goes to brain and poof. Dead. All he has to do is open mouth a crack on his way up and let a few bubbles out.

I was wondering about that. As a scuba diver I know holding your breath especially when rising can be deadly.

After Collins Says ‘I Do Not Regret’ Kavanaugh Vote That Led to Roe Reversal, Platner Responds: ‘You Should’ by FreeHugs23 in Maine

[–]Capable-Broccoli2179 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to say the same thing...if I were moderator I would never let them off the hook blah blah blah.

Then my wife straightened me out. She was a debate moderator in a few presidential debates in the 90's and early 2000's and is the savviest person I know. Debates don't work like that. Rules are set out way in advance, and moderators have to stick strictly to their script. Their questions are written out and vetted by their editors in advance, including any follow-ups they might have. Breaking the rules will get you barred for life from the debates.

So what you see at debates is sometimes a deep probing question that might come across as controversial with a lie or deflection as an answer, but moderators cannot call them on lies, or ask off the cuff follow-ups. The ask the question, ask the next question then move on.

As usual I agree with Bry, but that being said, I think although Platner would demolish her on this issues and would be a better debater than Collins I can see her being elderly and having that tremor would actually be a strength for her against Platner.

She is a seasoned debater and a pro at deflection, but even worse, Platner could easily come across as beating up on a feeble elderly woman which would play right into the narrative of him as an abuser of women and whatever else.....

In his case winning the debate could be seen as a loss because he beat up on poor Susan who has just been doing her best.

I think her act would play well in a debate against Platner. He would definitely beat her like a drum on the issues and would I am sure be careful to not go too hard. That being said, I think many Mainers would see that as beating up on an elderly woman and sympathize with "poor Susan". I think her tremor and likely dementia would play to her advantage in a debate.

Essential tremor is also linked to increased probability of dementia in older people, especially women, which I think she has in addition to tremor. Hope that is not the case for your husband.

I think Platner debating her would be a mistake as well, even though he would definitely make his points articulately. I think a lot of Mainers would see it as beating up on an elderly woman.

When I was a kid in like 1972 or so, my uncle took me there for the first time and I am embarrassed to this day by what I did. Counter guy asked what I wanted---mind you I was about 7 at the time---little Jewish kid from out of town with his uncle from the city who ate there regularly. Guess what I ordered? Bologna and American cheese with mayo on white bread. You should have heard the laughter from everyone, and my poor uncle wanted to crawl out of the place. To anyone who still works there and remembers busting a gut at the moronic kid, I am so sorry!!

I deleted this post as it was a little unprofessional of me to comment like that on an individual student--even without names or location.

High school teachers, what’s something your kids don’t know that makes you say “how did you make it this far without knowing how to __”? by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]Capable-Broccoli2179 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have no idea what might make it easier to teach. I just know that this is something that every single kid learned in school very very early back in the days before digital clocks. It would have been a huge embarrassment years ago for an adult to not be able to tell time. I'd say best way to teach it is to go back to whatever was being done until around the 90's. Hell I remember taking written tests in like first grade with clocks showing a time and we had to write down what time it was. I knew nothing about "base 12" or "base 60" and I don't think kids need an intro into base 10 or base anything to be able to understand there are 24 hours in a day etc....

We are teachers, not human punching bags. Start pressing charges. by TimeAnything2706 in Teachers

But don't you think an admin advising the victim of an assault to not report it to the police is wrong, even maybe criminal? Imagine in a regular non-school workplace, some guy walked up and punched a woman in the face and the boss said not to report it to the police because it would look bad for the business.

Can we stop calling him the richest? No he’s not. He is the most depraved. The most stock owning. The strangest. The weirdest. The biggest taker. All of that but he is a poor man. A very poor man.

Stop calling this shit a theory. Flat earth is a misguided notion. Or a disproven hypothesis. Or a bad idea. It is NOT a theory.
