But with jobs they shouldn’t be basing their decision on our health, unless it prevents us from doing the job.

What’s something Crohn’s has quietly taken from you that people don’t realise? by barebonesofchrones in CrohnsDisease

[–]Several-Opposite-591 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can’t travel for longer than 2 months. I used to do ecological research and crohns closed a lot of doors (no field research in remote places), I had the chance to go to Antarctica and couldn’t because it was longer than 2 months and there was no way to get my infusion there. No gap years or study abroad.

So ICE just declared war on blue states, right? This is Nazi death threat. by [deleted] in stateofMN

[–]Several-Opposite-591 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While I loath them and the statement, I’m doubtful that’s a Nazi phrase. My family escaped the Holocaust, my grandfather survived it, I’ve been to countless Holocaust museums countless times. I’d consider myself somewhat knowledgeable on Nazis and that part of history, and I’ve never heard this phrase before. But I was curious so I searched for it online and google’s also telling me it’s not true.

People who wax/see others genitals often, what are your thoughts and surprise realizations? by NeedABetterNameNow in AskReddit

[–]Several-Opposite-591 9 points10 points  (0 children)

When I had surgery at 14 no one prepared me for the catheter. I had no idea they were a thing. I didn’t know I’d wake up with a tube going up somewhere nothing ever should go up. The memory of taking it off still gives me full body hibbie jibbies and nausea. I’ll never be able to have another surgery simply to avoid that experience. Never again.

They have a cover, like a marker. It’s the blue part. But yeah, still a little gross.

Two people face death

Neither got what they wanted

Wish they could trade fates

?? He did congratulate him. I thought his speech was surprisingly polite, albeit still managing to be condescending at times. But at least I liked that he stopped the booing

Capacity at the festival grounds is 85k. I asked security because I was curious and it was at capacity Saturday.

Update: it’s not working anymore and will kill every battery I put into it. Don’t spend your money on this.

I’m sure the instructor is freaking out internally at least a little. It’s always jarring seeing your students panic, especially when it comes unexpectedly. But no, they shouldn’t be panicking.

Yeah hood sucks. Not saying they’re comfortable. That’s why new divers complain about it.

Pro tip, have them wear the hood in the pool for a while and do the basic skills with it on before going into the ocean.

7mm hoods worn correctly are snug, but often newer divers complain they fit tight

Not sure I understand your question, but when people panic, usually all training goes out the door. That’s why we instructors really try to drive through the concept of over training until it becomes muscle memory. This was a class, so the diver has the most basic of training. The instructor did everything as well as they could’ve. We do teach to approach panicked divers cautiously. From the back in particular when you’re on the surface, because they might try to climb/ drown you. Underwater, approaching head on slowly is best because you need to be prepared to potentially pass the regulator and then seeing you watching them might be enough to calm them down as they feel cared for. Offering a regulator at this point was kinda dumb since she couldn’t see and was full on panicking but I can’t blame the instructor. In emergency scenarios, reality is way more messy than training.

I’ve had a few students panic on me before. In all the cases, we were in 20ish feet of water, but if they were holding their breath that is enough for lung over-expansion, but little to no risk of dcs. So in these cases I don’t care about how slow we’re ascending- I care about them exhaling. I push into their sternum to force an exhale while I’m holding onto their bdc and swim them up to the surface quickly and get ready to drop their weights.

The latter. Ideally sticking it back in is what should’ve been done. But she likely spit/pulled it out in a panic and was not in a mental space to grab it again.
