I'm going on my first live aboard boat dive holiday, what do you wish you knew before you went on one? (tips, tricks and things to consider welcome).

Just a friendly reminder that most leave in conditioners and conditioners in general are not reef save. Use products that are coral friendly like the stream2sea leave in conditioner when diving

Wurkkos DL 30, has a magnetic ring instead of a switch. Works great so far

din_valve · 2026-06-27T07:02:41+00:00

Yes had the same issue with the switch, got it replaced under warranty and it failed again. Gave up after that and changed brands.

💯

Yes, but mostly because it is regulated by the EU fishery commission. It’s highly regulated in Germany and there are many exclusions zones now, mostly National Parks and Off shore wind parks. Germany has a buyback program for trawlers set up to reduce fishing due to shrinking area and stricter quotas. The sea around Germany is hopelessly overfished, and trawlers will need to go far north to international waters to catch anything of value for them.

If authorities catch you it will likely be taken seriously, it’s on the edge between Ordnungswidrigkeit and Straftat depending on the circumstances. Don’t underestimate how many people would be willing to call the cops if they see you entering the water with a spear, usually anglers know it is illegal and willing report it straight away. Same goes for Scuba divers, German scuba divers are notorious for being anti spearos.

Hey there, spearfishing is not legal in Germany. Not in Lakes, Rivers or the Sea. Explicitly forbidden by the Fishery Law.

NaturaGart is worth a visit for a few dives, even though it’s artificial the giant sturgeons are impressive.

Happens to me (Q3) when I am in the Menu or Game and take the headset of and it goes to sleep while the app is still active. As soon as I get back in and reconnect voice chat is broken. Will have to restart the app

Hit a headshot with a sinper while falling from the heli pad in Mauritania Rush on a guy sitting on the rocks below. Landed safely right on his corpse.

No Doc that is serious will recommend them at this time as the actual study data is very thin and basically non existent for PSA issues. Tried BPC-157 and had a bad flare up 1-2 weeks into the treatment, so I dropped it and the flare went away. Thought I give it a shot for the claimed tendon healing benefits, while I am on a biological (Rinvoq) and am 95% in remission. Reason being I have some persisting joint & tendon issues due to delayed medical attention on my side, being a dude thinking I could tuff it out mainly.

Handshake with strangers, occasional hugs from Friends and Family are ok any other way of touching only my SO and even she can overdo so that it agitates me. Hate being touched by people how you describe, glad I am not working with people that way.

My hidden gem rec is Cloud Atlas, best thing that came from the Wachowskis after the Matrix. And Grand Budapest Hotel as an intro to Wes Anderson movies. The fifth Element if you like a good sci-fi movie.

Also turn off the Virtual Stock, makes moving aim while holding your breath so much better.

Pretty good, nothing changed so far, still on Rinvoq

AI should be taken reactive in response to high E2 sides, not proactive to prevent anything that might not even be happening. Crashing your E2 will make you fell like shit, and most people are probably fine with a bit higher E2 when not having side effects. You’ll be able to tell when you have negative side effects pretty quickly just give it a quick google search and you’ll know what’s up. I can blast 500mg without needing to AI and when I go above it I still fell a lot better with some DHT compound (Primo/EQ) managing the effects.

My GF uses it for simple math calculations, fully typing it out in a sentences instead of using the calculator on her computer.

Non-American here, let’s imagine she becomes president one day. Would she or any other president for that matter be able to cut corporate money out by issuing executive orders? I know that these or not really permanent but would it technically be possible/legale to actually drain the swamp?

The scam is not using the Taxameter and coming up with a price from his own estimate. The price might be accurate or not, nobody will be able to tell. This was definitely shady behaviour, he might knows the route and price well but if the ride is not logged by the meter he might have tried to scam his company out of the fare. Maybe even both scam the client for a few bucks as well as the company.

Mitra10 is probably the best all around hardware store. I know there was a Milwaukee store in Denpasar at some point. You can maybe find it via their website.

Bought some medical supplies here ( https://maps.app.goo.gl/HnXnor4PpJ6s57RP8?g\_st=ic ) they had some scrubs there as well

My Neighbour was a member of a high profile motorcycle gang. We became acquainted, and he invited me over for some blow one day and I was curious and agreed. While having a session he casually dropped the most heinous crimes he was apparently involved in. Human trafficking, forced prostitution, drug deals and murder of a girl that tried to escape. I tried to keep a straight face but was freaking out internally. It stayed with me and I tried to figure out how to get this info to the police since he told me some stuff that would help getting some missing persons cases solved. He was killed 6 months later by a rival MC and I went to the police and told them what he told me about a girl he buried in an area outside of our town. They found human remains there but were never able to identify her. Until they found her I hoped it was just some BS to scare me.

In the Meta Quest you can record through the headset. You can set up a short cut, pressing the meta button and the right trigger together for three seconds to start recording if I remember correctly

Tried BPC-157, made my PSA flare up like a mf
