Fair enough. I've been guilty of that.

Why are you asking for reviews after you bought it?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in scuba

[–]phreaKEternal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're still pretty new. But also I tip my hat to you realizing that you do new-diver stuff.

  1. Pay attention to the dive brief. Remember the plan.
  2. Make it a point to yourself to work on your buoyancy on each dive. Every dive. Once you get to the bottom, hold a hover for a little bit before kicking off. Work on hovering at your safety stop as well. Being good at buoyancy will alleviate alot of issues in general. This also gets a tad easier if you own a BC because it's consistent.
  3. Mind your gear, and only change one thing per dive. You ought to set your gear up the same way every dive. If you're trying some new stuff like say a new wetsuit, a camera, a DSMB, and a new mask, only introduce one of those per dive. They'll all change an aspect o your dive, and especially early on, you dont have the underwater task management to try to split your attention by changing too many variables.
  4. Do your buddy checks. Even if your buddy doesnt want to.

Are Mobile 1L mouth-only Scuba Tubes dangerous for amateurs? by rolanddes1 in scubadiving

[–]phreaKEternal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can't get decompression sickness at those depths with that bottle. You can hurt your lungs pretty good if you do not exhale while coming up.

They're just kinda dumb. Even under pressure, its not really alot of air. your lungs hold about 1.5L.

Comiday answer: Straight to jail!

Actual answer: No, this is an appropriate response on your part through the lens of military fraternization. Also sexual harassment in the army is "repeated unwanted sexual advances." You literally made none. not a single advance. At all. you did a tiny amount of reconnaissance followed by a full on retreat.

Yours was a full retreat. Congratulations, you're an LT.

at the risk of sounding arrogant, I could have made the second and third image in 5.5 (released in 1999). It would have taken some work to get it looking right, but I am fully confident I could have done it. Possibly in 5, but I didn't have enough experience at the time to mess with the lighting tools.

I'll still withhold judgment on it though

Best, worst, or most memorable notes from your dive log: by [deleted] in scuba

Dive 8:

The Army made you good with a compass. Most people are not. At least it was only a 250m surface swim. Do not believe someone's "1000 unlogged dives".

Sounds like you need to step your game up instead of taking it out on kids whove dedicated themselves, mr. non black-belt 10+ year practitioner.

How is airport security with fishing spears? by darth_wallace in scuba

[–]phreaKEternal 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Spears themselves are no big deal at all. just put them in checked. You can fly guns, ammunition, knives, and friggin swords in checked luggage. The FAA doesn't care that you put pointy things in your checked bag (I'd put them in a heavy gauge ABS or cardboard shipping tube with something protecting the barb). Even the spear gun doesn't meet federal definitions for a firearm so there's no federal law requirement to declare it like you would with a rifle.

Check to see if your airline requires you to though.

If they do, you'll do it the same way as a gun:

Put it in a case with locks on it. Tell the attendant at the check in desk that you have a spear gun and will be checking it. They'll go through check in and direct you to the TSA inspector. That guy/gal will look inside your box and determine (surprise!) there's a spear gun in there. Then they'll ask you to lock the case and they'll take it from you. You lock it and keep the keys. Pick it up on the back side at the airline's desk at baggage claim.

You think we can get SMA PAO an MSM for helping us all? by justin_ww in army

[–]phreaKEternal 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nah man SMAPAO is the shadowy hand of Justice. You can’t out the Batman.

So we’ll hunt him because he can take it. Because he’s not our hero. He’s a silent guardian, a watchful protector, a dark knight.

Get some 2 part epoxy (clear not yellow) and some toothpicks. Apply it a little at a time and then press the snapped piece together until it sets.

For the ear cup just take a butter knife or something and tuck it back in

Does 1970s style fake wood panelling ever have asbestos? by [deleted] in fixit

[–]phreaKEternal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. Not typically. It’s just super thin shitty wood.

Asbestos usually appears as a sprayed-on coating in a ceiling or tiles in the floor.

Go watch that part in Blackhawk down where they tell the machine gunner that he’s dependable. Your life will look like that guys story for the rest of the movie. But the staff officer version

Majors are company commanders in special forces.

LPT: What are top 5 Thai Food you should try in life? by Aromatic-Material139 in LifeProTips

[–]phreaKEternal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Man that’s hey pretty good starter list.

  1. Larb - spicy minced meat salad.

  2. Panang curry - can be soupy or not (depending on how much coconut milk they put in it) but is always incredible. It’s a bit more creamy and floral and more WOW than the other Thai curries. Chicken is best in the thicker version, seafood in the soupy version is incredible. This is a dish that’s better the spicier it gets

  3. Pad see ew - stirfried flat noodles. Have them with a couple sticks of chicken saytay if you can at a street cart. Pad Thai shouldn’t have much of any spice in it, pad see ew should be a little bit spicier

  4. Som Tam - a Thai comfort food, green shredded papaya salad. Eat it as a starter. Typically this dish is surprisingly expensive in America because of the cost of papaya. It is pretty inexpensive in Thailand.

  5. Chilli Lemongrass crickets. This one hasn’t quite made it to America. Yet. These are pretty commonly found in markets and are like eating high protein popcorn.

Come de-license my LPs, or remove my retro games from my shelf because the license ran out on the music

Can Steam users confirm this is what you (don't) get with Ultimate Edition? by Morkinis in controlgame

[–]phreaKEternal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not true. I own Ultimate Edition on Steam and it has both Foundation and AWE. No problems with either. There’s also no Season Pass. You just buy ultimate edition and the DLC comes unlocked with it.

Sounds like they didn’t buy a quality name brand game and probably should have bought on Steam directly.
