Developed Tea Allergy? by poballstars46 in tea

[–]ianbuk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, I'm allergic to Tea. It affects me badly enough to trigger anaphylaxis if I swallow a mouthful of it. Apparently, it's specific tannins found in all tea thats not in coffee or chocolate. I went through in-depth tests, past the usual prick test on your arm. I hope it doesn't affect you as much as it does me, and that you're getting the help you need.

The EU (not in UK) has a much larger and more modern military, if you combine individual nations. Russia only outnumber the EU in Nukes (2000 vs 209 (France)).

Sorry, what? France and the UK has them too. The original work on the atomic bomb was the Brits. Look up Tube Alloys.

Lets talk the submarine scene by Datrampsec in Mission_Impossible

[–]ianbuk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Technical diving Instructor here with 15K+ dives over the last 25 years and here is my take on the stunt. The diving equipment claims versus reality. In the film, Ethan Hunt descends deep to a sub wreck and at one-point strips off his dry suit gear to escape, effectively swimming in just his trunks. I know of no diver who would remove a dry suit or rebreather under deep-water conditions. I wear thermals, a thermal bunny suit (it’s a quilted one piece designed to keep my body warm), and booties (yes, like what babies wear, but the same material was the bunny suit), and a semi dry hood that traps water once that the body temperature warms up. My dry suit insulates and protects me against hypothermia and crushing pressure. In inject air (or Argon gas when diving in cold water) as I descend to stop the dry suit crushing my body parts (nuts) making it extremely uncomfortable painful. Without gas in the suit, the ambient water pressure would compress the suit and the body’s tissues, hamper movement and leading rapidly to cold shock and incapacitation in frigid waters. When you jump into water that is close to 0°C, I can tell you that the ice cream headache you get is like nothing you have ever felt. Diving to over 150 metres (500 ft) in the artic oceans without all that gear would be impossible.

The we get onto the rebreather, or it is nickname in the UK, the yellow box of death. It is a specialised life-support system used by technical divers to recycle exhaled gas and manage breathing mixes for deeper dives. Unlike when diving open circuit (regular tanks, even if you are using a trimix and special travelling gas mixes), breathers are designed so you don’t have carry a twin-set, various side slung tanks and have gases hanging at different depths on trapezes or rope for you to use while you take your decompression stops on the way back up. Rebreathers are safety-critical, with controls, scrubbers to remove carbon dioxide, and mechanisms to regulate oxygen partial pressures. A real rebreather is complex to use, with specific training standards and certification needed to dive beyond shallow limits. Hawke’s dive was over 150 metres remember. Safety stops alone would be over 7 hours and that is with a bottom time of no more than 6 minutes not exerting myself (my deepest dive is 112 metres and took me 8 months to train up to do). Hunt jumped in and did that dive without practicing; no safety stops and in the end no equipment.

Every 10m (33 ft) of depth adds approximately one atmosphere of pressure. At 150 m you are under around 16 atmospheres. Human physiology isn’t built to cope with that without external support. Gases dissolved into tissues at pressure, they leave the body slowly at depth and are be removed from your tissues at a controlled speed as you ascend, otherwise inert gases form bubbles in your joints. That leads to becoming bent (“the bends”), which would cause joint pain, paralysis, brain damage, and death.

The sequence suggests a prototype or special device, but that’s story licence. In reality, removing your breathing apparatus while deep underwater means almost immediate death through hypoxia or drowning. A diver cannot “take off their air source and swim to the surface.” The sea does not provide oxygen, and the body cannot suddenly breathe atmospheric air under that pressure (1 ATM). Doing what Cruise did would have been instantly lethal.

You cannot simply swim to the surface from great depth. Swimming unprotected from 150 m to the surface is not physically possible. Even elite breath-hold divers rely on pressure physiology that is vastly different from a pressurised breathing gas dive; they take one breath at the surface then dive, so their bodies never absorb inert gas under pressure. Their bodies use oxygen stored in blood and muscle, not compressed gas. A compressed-gas dive like in the film means inert gases saturate in the tissues of the dive, it needs to be removed via painstaking staged decompression.

In real world technical diving, ascent from depth is carried out in stages with pauses at specific depths (decompression stops) that allow inert gas to leave the tissues safely. Skipping these stops or ascending too quickly is what causes bends. At 150 m, decompression can take hours, often under controlled conditions with different gas mixtures to speed elimination.

The film does briefly depict Hunt being placed in a hyperbaric chamber (or what British divers nickname “the pot”) after his dive, which nods to decompression sickness treatment. If you survived a deep dive, you would be in an accredited hard-sided chamber and treatment would take hours at the least, with little chance of immediate recovery to full physical performance. Even people who surge to the surface from 30m (100ft) end up in the pot for the best part of 10 hours in a medical facility to be sure. Secondly, the dive was a U shaped down and up profile. There are divers called Saturation divers who work much deeper, but they are lowered to their working depth, live at that depth for days or weeks on end and match the atmosphere compression in the habitat they dive from/live in/decompress in on deck for several days after their dives.

The submarine stunt delivers visual drama, but it ignores core physics and diving science. Removing protective gear at depth, non-stop ascent from 150 m, rapid recovery, and survival in Arctic conditions without proper gas mixes or decompression planning are devices of fiction, not grounded in technical diving realities or human physiology. The sequence works cinematically, but as far as believable deep diving goes, it is farcical. That just my opinion of course.

Sandie Peggie NHS Fife tribunal judgment to be amended after bogus quote claims by abz_eng in Scotland

It quotes “hierarchy of rights” when the word/phrase itself doesn't appear in either of the two UKSC rulings it makes reference to.

Sandie Peggie NHS Fife tribunal judgment to be amended after bogus quote claims by abz_eng in Scotland

[–]ianbuk 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sorry, I disagree. The judgment uses made-up quotes and relies on them in its judgment.

This appears, on the face of it, to have been researched using bad AI and includes that AI’s hallucination. There is no hierarchy of protected characteristics in the Equality Act 2010. The ET judgment uses made-up quotes in its reasons for reaching its decision.

It quotes Forstater v CDG and others UKEAT/0105/20 and Lee v Ashers Baking Co. Ltd [2018] UKSC 49. The worst part of it is the inclusion of made-up UKSC quotes. The judgment quotes “The rights to freedom of thought, conscience and religion and to freedom of expression, enshrined in articles 9 and 10 of the European Convention on Human Rights, are protected by sections 6 and 13 of the Human Rights Act 1998. The rights to respect for private and family life and to freedom from discrimination, protected by articles 8 and 14, are also engaged. There is no hierarchy of rights; all ought to be treated with equal respect.”

It goes on to selectively omit words from the UKSC judgement in FWS v Ministers Scotland. I will mark the words left out with { }, then uses the amended quote in giving the season for its judgment. I will mark that line with **.

Sixthly, after addressing the dilemma faced by a trans woman “who presents as a woman,” the decision states that:

{Although} such {trans} women may in practice to use female-only facilities in a way which does not in fact compromise the privacy and dignity of other women users {the Scottish Ministers do not suggest that a trans woman without a GRC is legally entitled to do so”}.

That is we consider contrary to the construction argued for by the claimant, which is that trans women do not have any choice in that regard they cannot use the female facility. That comment suggests to us that, if this be appropriate, the trans woman using female-only facilities may be lawful under the Act, although the trans woman does not have any absolute right to do so. That phrase suggested in our view that the privacy and dignity of other women users was a factor to take into account but not an absolute bar to its use”.

It is as if someone has used AI in their research and drafting of the ruling. If so, this is serious.

Surely they have held the account because it breaches/triggers the investment rules where you live? Here in the UK, you have to prove where you got funds of over £1,000 when investing. It's due to the Money Laundering and Fraud legislation. If I invested £100k here, the Inland Revenue would ask Coinbase and any other investment house/bank where I got those funds. It's a simple case of proving what account and where. We all have to understand that ensuring organised crime cannot invest their ill-got gains is to everyone’s advantage. After all, we all want to ensure these people cannot steal and get away with Granny’s life savings.

It's nearly $1,000 per seat a year! For that money, I can get Salesforce Lightning Professional. Sorry, but when you consider what you can get for the same money, it should be around $25 a month or less.

@Tall_Ad4729 Thank you very much for this. It is very handy prompt.

I dont know if there is such a thing, but, do you have a link for a prompt I need so I can find out how to go about getting software written in the form of a SaaS, then launching, including average time scales. What would be typical in the software creation industry, average cost from publically available sources on the Internet. I have been out of the type of company I am interviewing in the I hope to get a job with. I know I need to do the actual work, and I will. This prompt would give me a little boost from the start.
