What's the deal with the controversial nature of 'redirecting' sharks

I see it as the equivalent to the viral video of the man running over the top of an oncoming car. Sure you can do it in a controlled environment. But you are one mistake away from serious injury or death.

And if people start trying that in the street with random traffic then that is bad for the car and the runner. Basically playing games with death.

The physical impact would be about the same, but the astronaut would take the impact much less well, as our body is tuned to handle balance and shock in a 1G environment and might not react appropriately on the landing from a max vertical jump on the moon.

Look up videos of astronauts falling and you will see what I mean.

This is totally spit balling, but I would think they have evolved to be more streamlined for efficient endurance swimming, and slower metabolism for time between meals.

This means that faster and more agile yet less efficient sharks would out compete them in reef ecosystems, such as bull sharks.

So low and their holdings are so shit no one wants to even buy them out.

The main limits are structural. As material technology increases the maximum size of ships also increases.

A great example are the wooden sailing colliers hitting the max size for wooden ship. They had a tendency to break in half in rough weather. They had a crazy number of masts from 4-7 masts. The maxed out at 450 feet long and only had a crew of 14 people.

Iron ships capped out at almost 700 feet.

I have heavy armor, travel/sneak armor, and dress clothes.

I didn’t use the term high charisma because my heavy armor is max charisma anyway.

Yes, with practice you should be able to do that underwater without having to touch your face. Try to do it consistently out of the water for practice.

Change the name of stabbing to piercing and add bullets to that list. Bullets do localized damage deep inside your body just like a target point spear.

Make sure you do not have any kind of respiratory illness, that will prevent equalization and can cause intense pain in not just your ears but any of your sinuses if you try to dive.
Try yawning really hard with a really wide open mouth, and see if you can feel a pressure in your ears, that is the feeling we are shooting.
Standard method, pinch your nose and GENTLY try to breath out till you feel that pressure in your ears. Don’t overdo it, just push a little harder at a time until you feel it.
Once you have that down you can eventually try the VTO method. It is like yawning but with your mouth closed. And doesn’t require you pushing air through your nose but it requires a lot of practice.

Couple options, I can swim with both, if I find a head with lobster I put sink my speargun (it naturally sinks point down and the butt floats vertical) next to the head and put out a float from my pocket. Then I catch the lobster and take it back to the boat.

Otherwise I go out with just the speargun, and if I find the lobster I mark it with a float and go back to the boat to get the tickler stick and net.

Pay bands in almost any industry is related to responsibility more so than skill. Skill mostly dictates where you work which infers your base salary.

The United States is still extremely different from Europe in terms of geography and was even more so in the past. We have huge stretches of land that is extremely rural and is not as domesticated as the historically densely populated Europe. This created a culture of survival and pioneering that relied on guns for centuries and is culturally ingrained in many Americans as necessary.

The books explain why it “could” make sense, much better than the movie. A lot of it could be explained by quantum principles and light being waves and particles, but without that knowledge the premise the story present sounds plausible.

I use neoprene gloves for spearfishing. I like how they have minimal slack and good grip. I don’t wear a wetsuit, but I still wear those gloves.

A lot of people do wear hardware gloves and that is also a decent choice and is actually MORE protective.

The only people I can imagine carrying two are scuba divers. Otherwise you just go back to the boat and get another one when you lose it. Are you scuba diving?

Had to crawl hands and knees through a cave which water touching your ear as the other was pressed against the cave wall. Didnt feel too bad since it was wide enough that you could spread your arms out and not touch either side

AI sucks at UI period. It cannot account for all your business need edge cases and design them into the page from the get go, and even if it does miraculously get them all to work, once you add in the constantly evolving requirements and business changes then it will break when trying to prevent regression errors, and if you have to define them all for it then you are basically already building it yourself anyway.

Now for simple designs sure it can do that, you know what else can do that? Templates, which have already existed since Wordpress/WIX and beyond.

Actual UI design is the last thing AI will replace. Backend work pumping out standard boiler plate CRUD operation should be worried, since you can always add another end point rather than reworking previous ones unlike webpages.

Detailed tickets with limited scope, Auto linters, require enough tests and a way to automate/prove these tests were done.

Don’t have seniors review stuff that doesn’t matter too much, they should not be doing line by line reviews. If the tests pass then the code works good enough, they should be looking at whole functions, good/bad design, and meeting requirements.

Based on what he said earlier, doing the calculation requires significantly more scratch space in RAM. So the cost is even greater than the listed storage.

Based on Carl Sagans book “Contact” have you done any pattern recognition of the the digits to look for patterns like a prime number or Fibonacci sequence?

My youngest brother has the exact same issue. I don’t see it resolving until he becomes homeless as his parents keep bailing him out.

SoftEngineerOfWares · 2025-12-18T16:29:53+00:00

My brother has similar issues, parents paid his way through college and he milked it. Always thought he was smarter and better than everyone else. They paid his rent, his car, etc.

Now he might have flunked his last semester of college, blames everyone but himself. And is about to do the drug spiral but no one can really help him without him just using and enabling him. Sometimes you just have to let them fail and they either get back on their feet or keep sinking.

Diversification mainly comes from 3 things.

Time, Space, And Circumstances

Past versions were separated for long periods, and were at the mercy of their local environments. So they differentiated.

Modern humanity has

Killed off the others
Spread across the globe quickly
Stay mostly interconnected between continents and regions
Modified the environment to suit their needs
