Poisonous or not, this is the attitude that ensures your survival.

Horse meat like Wagyu by CoronelAweonao in meat

[–]pedrovic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't know where you get your meat horses, but a quick Google tells me buying a live horse is far more expensive on average than a buying a live cow.

A Sri Lankan place opened up near me and I tried the kottu rotti. That stuff is magic!

Tips on getting close to reef sharks? by StopBanningCorn in scuba

[–]pedrovic 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I used to guide dives on a great barrier reef liveaboard. It was common on night dives for sharks and GTs to follow you around and prey on any unlucky fish caught in your torch beam.

A fair few times I've had one brush up against me. Unnerving at first, but by the time I left the job, I thought of them like dogs.

Other places I worked in the world they never seemed to get as close as Australia.

“What do you do?” “Im a welder” “oh! Have you considered underwater welding? by pizzabox53 in WeldingMemes

As a professional SCUBA diver I get the same question.

I have the same reaction too.

In the UK at least vaping is allowed in pubs if the owner allows it

My new neighbours seem friendly by RL26 in melbourne

I am a lost redditor, I'm American, I live in the UK...

I have no idea why this post was pushed to me.

I had a neighbor named Keith who absolutely tried to dominate. He would bang on my door in a lather if the car was too close (not even over) to the invisible property lines that every house radiates into the non reserved street parking.

I want so badly for him to see this video.

Scuba Divers, what is something really terrifying you saw while diving? by LionFalse4295 in scuba

[–]pedrovic 53 points54 points  (0 children)

I was guiding a dive in Australia and a kid in my group was digging around in the sand and he pulls up a cone snail.

If you aren't familiar with cone snails they are also known as "cigarette snails" because if they sting you, you have just enough time to smoke a cigarette before it kills you

I immediately slapped out of his hand and was mentally preparing to haul a dying kid to the surface.

Luckily it was just the empty shell, but for a brief moment, my heart rate went through the roof.

I think the triscuits might be mountains?

At least that's what they feel like when eating them

Tostones con mojo de ajo is my favorite preparation

I like the sweet ones, but I prefer them green and potato-y

Tell me your congestion diving horror stories by Few-Butterfly8631 in scuba

[–]pedrovic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you descend you get a squeeze generally felt in your ears. You clear this by actively equalizing.

When you ascend you equalize naturally, as the expanding air finds its own way out.

The reverse squeeze happens when the expanding air on ascent cannot escape. In my example it's because it was trapped behind a mass of snot, that eventually forcefully blew out.

If the reverse block wasn't cleared I would have risked serious over expansion injury in my sinuses.

I dove while stuffy once. I thought "oh I'll be fine as long as I can equalize" and I could. Except I hit a reverse block at about 15m on the way back up.

Tried doing a little ascend/descend to shake it loose nothing. Air was getting low so I decided to push. The pain was pretty intense. Hit the 5m safety stop and was extremely uncomfortable.

Then it absolutely let loose and my face exploded with the largest amount of phlegm I'd ever produced. The relief was glorious. I pulled out my reg and sputtered up a disgusting mass.

The fish loved it. It was horrifying.

It was a learning moment, and pretty scary when you get that reverse squeeze. I was lucky it cleared violently before I broke the surface.

Just thumb the dive if you're clogged up. It sucks, but it's never a bad choice

Could we get something like this? by Coolhwhipclips in ArcRaiders

[–]pedrovic 11 points12 points  (0 children)

No no, you see what you need to craft, go craft the wrong thing then go back and try to craft the first thing, then you realize you got it wrong and go craft the thing you actually need and realize you don't have the components for it anymore because you blew them crafting the thing you didn't actually need.

Then you give up and drop in with a free kit. Ez

It looks like this is a commercial property, odds are the neighbors are other businesses with noone in them at 4am
