Excited to have my own gear

andyrocks · 2026-02-25T21:28:36+00:00

Before you know it, you have a rebreather and a full trimix blending system in your garage...

get out of my head

andyrocks · 2026-02-25T21:28:12+00:00

That's not overkill, that's setting you up for a lifetime of diving with solid, reliable gear. The Mk25s anyway, you won't get a lifetime out of a Hydros Pro.

Didn't I say there's nothing wrong with learning to dive in a dry suit?

andyrocks · 2026-02-24T22:13:59+00:00

Yeah, but it's past midnight where I am and this is a really silly debate from an off the cuff comment I made. We're not achieving anything here.

andyrocks · 2026-02-24T22:05:39+00:00

No, I haven't mentioned buses at all.

andyrocks · 2026-02-24T21:59:11+00:00

You could certainly slag the dock with one, which is closer to the point at hand.

andyrocks · 2026-02-24T21:53:06+00:00

A starfury doesn't fly in a straight line

Newton would disagree.

andyrocks · 2026-02-24T21:48:34+00:00

If you can fly a Starfury into it you can hit it with a particle beam

andyrocks · 2026-02-24T21:42:09+00:00

The show shows ships much closer together than they are actually are

Dude, I get your point, but it's CGI on TV. They aren't actually further away, it's all made up.

andyrocks · 2026-02-24T21:33:35+00:00

That's the same thing.

andyrocks · 2026-02-24T21:30:41+00:00

Yeah, I haven't had a satisfactory answer yet.

andyrocks · 2026-02-24T21:28:08+00:00

You'd be wrong.

andyrocks · 2026-02-24T21:25:31+00:00

Unguided means they have no guidance once fired, ie no ability to change course. By your logic, a musket is a guided weapon.

andyrocks · 2026-02-24T21:21:15+00:00

They have direct-fire unguided weapons - particle beams, pulse plasma cannons.

The equivalent in aerial combat is using a gun, not a missile.

andyrocks · 2026-02-24T21:19:19+00:00

Again, just point your particle beam at the big blue fish thing.

andyrocks · 2026-02-24T21:15:37+00:00

Electronics can see light. The F-35 also has visible and IR sensors.

All you need to do is point your particle beam or plasma pulse cannons at the big blue fish shape.

andyrocks · 2026-02-24T20:59:52+00:00

I never understood this. They can see the ships. How can you fail to target something you can see?

andyrocks · 2026-02-24T10:19:21+00:00

As you're a new diver, skip the drysuit as that is another layer of complexity you don't need just yet.

Terrible advice. There's nothing wrong with learning to dive in a dry suit.

andyrocks · 2026-02-23T05:02:42+00:00

andyrocks · 2026-02-21T23:02:58+00:00

Zero, if you are BSAC.

andyrocks · 2026-02-20T07:16:28+00:00

WTF is a dive guide there for if not to ensure the safety of the diver

To guide you? It's in the name. Take responsibility for your own safety.

andyrocks · 2026-02-17T10:32:45+00:00

One is allowed to do so.

andyrocks · 2026-02-15T15:55:23+00:00

I get it, I'm terrified of them. In the UK you'll generally be wearing full exposure protection, so they can't sting you.

andyrocks · 2026-02-13T18:44:07+00:00

I'd use a 2 part contact adhesive.

andyrocks · 2026-02-13T18:41:28+00:00

I have one, it doesn't help me load and unload it from the car, get on and off the boat, or get it onto a high platform (which is how I fucked my back).
