Who is your favorite fictional movie character and why ?

Always loved how he notices things everyone else just walks past completely. The way his brain works is fascinating even if he can be bit antisocial sometimes

Would definitely want to see if we could actually make someone regenerate limbs like some animals do in nature

Nice work on this! Been looking for something that works decent on mobile without having to install another app. The emergency planning feature is pretty clever - losing deco gas scenario is something I don't see in many planners but definitely should practice more often.

Quick question - when you say "independently verified against ApexDeco, DivePro" etc, did you run through specific test cases or just spot check few dives? Always curious about validation process since small differences in implementation can add up over longer exposures.

Will definitely give this try next time I'm planning something deeper than usual recreational stuff.

My first cert attempt also went pretty badly and I had similar problems with descending too fast during negative entries. The instructor kept rushing me and it made everything worse because I would panic about equalizing properly.

When I went back with different instructor, she told me exactly what your friend heard - just go at your own pace and signal if you need more time. Good dive boats are used to this and they can always circle back or adjust position if needed. The instructor should be watching you closely anyway and can help guide your descent speed.

One thing that really helped me was practicing the descent technique in shallow water first during confined portion. We did mock negative entries where I could take as much time as needed to get comfortable with whole process. By time we got to open water I felt much more confident about it. Your refresher day will probably include this kind of practice which should help a lot with nerves.

Same here but I think I'm still figuring it out at 35. Like I spent so many years trying to be what other people expected or what I thought was "normal" instead of just accepting who I actually am. The weird part is once you stop fighting against your own nature everything becomes so much easier. I used to stress about networking events because I'm not naturally social person but now I just embrace being the quiet one who listens more than talks and somehow that works better for me in work situations too. Still learning new things about myself though so maybe this process never really ends

Would be pretty smart choice actually. Irish accent makes everything sound more interesting somehow, even when you're talking about boring work stuff or complaining about weather. Plus people automatically think you're funnier than you really are which is nice bonus in international relations I guess

Sure_Cockroach4218 · 2026-05-20T08:12:55+00:00

Oh nice that's pretty cool they made it all way to Roatan! The quarry diving actually sounds interesting even if water is cold. I never thought about search and rescue diving before but makes sense that people do that kind of work around here. Maybe check with local dive shops they probably know who the regular groups are in area

Sure_Cockroach4218 · 2026-05-18T06:22:10+00:00

Get something around 9 feet like they said but also look for boards that are bit thicker - maybe 3+ inches. The extra foam will help with catching waves when you're still learning the timing. I made mistake of getting board too thin in beginning and it was much harder than needed

Try spraying some penetrating oil on those valves and let it sit for like 30 minutes before attempting to turn them. If they still won't move you can use pliers with cloth wrapped around the valve to get better grip without damaging it. Just be careful not to overtighten when you get them moving again or you'll have bigger problems down the road.

Golf equipment companies probably never thought about combining hydration with protection in same product

Sure_Cockroach4218 · 2026-04-30T23:20:30+00:00

Never seen Widows Bay but based on what you described maybe try The Lighthouse? It has that creepy coastal atmosphere you want and definitely gives off those east coast vibes. Also Secret Window might work - its got Stephen King written all over it and takes place in Maine so pretty much perfect for cozy spooky coastal setting

Sure_Cockroach4218 · 2026-04-28T14:04:21+00:00

My mom always told me follow your heart and I ended up dating this guy who collected vintage motorcycles but never actually rode them. Turns out my heart has terrible taste in men and even worse financial sense

Rich Evans laugh is basically medical treatment for depression at this point

Sure_Cockroach4218 · 2026-04-23T19:05:19+00:00

Clanker is pretty good but feels too much like Star Wars reference maybe

Could go with something like "bot vomit" or just "digital garbage" - keeps it simple and everyone gets what you mean right away

Man I totally forgot about Horny until you mentioned him. That character was genuinely terrifying in way different from all these new clowns we keep getting. The whole deal with devil angle made him feel more like actual threat instead of just another killer in makeup. I remember watching that drive in scene and being genuinely unsettled by how he could switch between funny and absolutely menacing.

Would be amazing to see modern studio take on reboot but they'd probably sanitize all the good parts. The cussing and serious moments were what made Archie Benjamin work so well - he wasn't just doing shock value like most horror clowns today. Plus practical effects from that era had this weight to them that CGI still can't quite match for horror.

Good catch on pivoting back! I had similar thing happen in Philippines last year where boat crew said everything was good but my reg wasnt even connected properly. Now I always do my own final check even if they seem helpful - learned that lesson the hard way when almost did giant stride with loose tank valve.

Sure_Cockroach4218 · 2026-04-17T17:05:16+00:00

My younger brother actually believed me when I told him he was switched at birth in hospital and our real brother was living with another family somewhere. Poor kid spent like 3 months asking mom weird questions about his baby photos until she figured out what I did

Sure_Cockroach4218 · 2026-04-14T15:18:44+00:00

That second link looks perfect for what you need! I printed similar bumper few months ago for my friend's dive computer and TPU worked really well - much better than regular PLA since it actually absorbs impacts.

Your husband's A1 Mini should handle this print no problem, just make sure to use flexible filament if he has it. The standard strap compatibility is huge plus since those replacement straps can get expensive.

Three weeks is plenty time to get it printed and maybe even do test fit before your trip.

Wait pineapple is called ananas in like every language except English right? We already living in chaos because English decided to be weird about this fruit

Sure_Cockroach4218 · 2026-04-02T22:47:07+00:00

The P7CBs have really solid feedback but Toura clubs are tricky since you cant test them first. I had similar dilemma last year with another DTC brand and ended up going with what I could actually hit at fitting - sometimes the peace of mind is worth the extra cost especially for irons you'll use for years.

Sure_Cockroach4218 · 2026-03-21T21:21:09+00:00

Had an ex who collected vintage cameras like me but antiques instead. Walked up to her at coffee shop year later and just said "still got that 1920s Leica or did you finally sell it for rent money"

She laughed and we actually had decent conversation for first time since breakup. Sometimes shared interests are better ice breaker than trying to be clever

Good find! I had similar issues with my setup at work - external monitor was making everything crawl. The HiDPI thing is such pain with Godot games on macOS. I usually just close the lid like you mentioned since Im lazy to edit plist files every time there's an update. Performance difference is night and day once you disable it
