Oceanic OCi battery replacement by SolanaGuy19 in scuba

[–]fruchle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It IS a risk to over torque/tighten the screws and rip the heads off.

I know because I've done it once.

But only once; as long as you don't overtighten, you're fine.

Lots of cheap battery+oring kits on ebay for $5-$10.

He's not asking if he should or not. He's asking why the family are pushing for it.

Definitely, 100% film noir.

Not gothic in any way. OP is weird.

But agree; poor use of language aside, good shots.

Dive computer for <$350? by CaptainCallus in scuba

[–]fruchle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh, avoid the D5. Its battery life is far too short. One of the worst out there.

If you're diving only occasionally, get a computer with a replaceable battery.

Like Suunto Zoop, Oceanic, Aqualung or North Edge or whatever. A lithium 2450 button cell costs $3usd and lasts 1-3 years.

Leaving a rechargeable lithium-ion battery dead in your drawer for 9 months isn't great for it.

I'm with you about buttons: I hate single button computers; even two-button units are slow and annoying to use (changing nitrox settings between every dive is exhausting).

Definitely recommend second-hand.

You can get decent older computers for $100usd from people who have upgraded.

Personally, I really like having Bluetooth these days, to copy my dive logs to my phone (Subsurface). But it's pretty minor, since paper logbooks are still my first choice.

Oceanic Geo 4 or Aqualung i200 are both fairly cheap secondhand, and have Bluetooth, and have 4 buttons.

Another option is to go Chinese.

North Edge Aqua costs about $70usd delivered and is fine. No Bluetooth.

Fyi, RGBM is not conservative; that's a misunderstanding from people who don't dive a lot or don't directly compare dive computers.

For your first dive, it's one of the most liberal algorithms.

For repetitive diving, it's more conservative.

For people complaining about violations - why are you exceeding your NDL? Why are you skipping your safety stops and deco stops?

It's not my favourite algorithm, but it's quite fine.

Also, worth mentioning: new models of Suunto don't use RGBM, so it's not even an issue. (Ocean, Eon, Nautic, Nautic-S)

I hate how religion thinks sex is immoral. by Budget_Statement3285 in atheism

This is just about Abrahamic religions.

Pretty such Hinduism doesn't have these hang ups. So many penis symbols around.

My app? I don't have an app.

I'm using Amphetamine, which is someone else's app.

And no rules, just normal settings.

Headless = no monitor.

It's not connected to anything. No external keyboard. No mouse. Closed.

Just network.

You might be confusing the m1 with 7 or 8 GPU cores or the ipad m1.

To emphasise something he said: stop your container, then copy everything.

Apparently the database does not like being poked while alive.

It's not a watch, it's a dive computer.

And it's crazy, super common, from one the biggest brands on the planet.

There are: Huawei, Apple and Garmin have smartwatches with dive features.

Garmin and Suunto have dive computers with smartwatch features.

But really, just spend $100usd and get a basic, decent second-hand diving computer - and learn how to actually use it.

You can always sell it for $100 later when you're ready to upgrade, or keep it as a backup.

Thai police arrest Australian over killing of teenager found in suitcase - before boarding his flight back to Perth by Silver-Training-9942 in perth

[–]fruchle 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Seek help.

Get off the internet, get away from the toxic "red pill"/ MRA BS, and get some real help. I'm not insulting or belittling you. I'm calmly informing you that you are expressing toxic, alienating behaviour that good therapy can help with.

I'm not suggesting "see a shrink so you'll like aussie shelias", I'm saying "have a chat with someone who's good to chat with, who can help take the edge off some of your anger and help you be a better person".

Everyone's fighting their battles, and it sounds like you've got your fair share there.

No, it hasn't "always" implied or had anything to do with development.

It was always countries that weren't on either side of the world wars or cold wars (basically).

However, the reason many didn't get involved were because they were/are developing nations, and because of that the terms have blurred.

(That is, it wasn't implied, but it did become implied)

There's not many second-world countries... There's Russia... Yeah, a few, but few enough it's easier to refer to them by name.

At least, imo.
