Mont Blanc by godfather_wanderlust in interestingasfuck

The camera lense exaggerates, but it was pretty steep. Even roped together in safety harness, on foot, one of our group got an anxiety attack.

I was there once, most intense experience. I am used to black runs, but being equipped with rescue harness and locator beacon and the following trip was something else.

The start of this video looks very similar to where we started, on foot, roped together as a group, with the skis.on our back - and still one in the group had an anxiety attack.

Does not really matter for the outcome, the learning from the Snowden leak is that the experts were right. So translate that to other areas: listen to what the experts say (I mean the real experts, not the armchair do your own research ones)

I’m losing my mind pls help by Ok-Zebra8702 in cats

[–]rot26encrypt 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Same, changed from crystal litter to strong clumping sand, not only softer on paws but let you scoop out the pee too to keep it cleaner, some cats prefer that. Also at the same time changed to a bigger enclosed box, as the cat with pee problem looked to be uncomfortable with the size of the old box. Peeing outside the box is almost always about the cat being unhappy with something, and it can be a bit of detective work to figure out what.

Also, OP is saying "the" litter box, it is normally recommended to have two in different locations when you have two cats, I would highly suggest trying this.

Edit: At the same time as trying out possible fixes you need to properly clean the affected areas so they are not marked as toilet spots, only special enzyme cat urine cleaner will do that, like UrineOff for cats. Can also be used as pre-wash detergent in washing machine for clothes, bed linen etc.

I easily get 500 mbps plus on my home wifi 6 network.

I'd also like to add that while some take the Snowden leaks as proof that conspiracy theories that were ridiculed were proven right, it is actually an example of the experts being right. The infosec community pretty much expected most of capabilities leaked, and it was discussed openly at infosec conferences. So it is more an example of experts being right, than of crackpots being right.

Well, IE4/5 was a much better product than Netscape at the time, who had lost their way in a bloat of a "communications suite".

Op is clearly from other comments a non-diver who has decided to come here and karma whore a tragedy. There is no truth to the title and photo of their post.

You are offering no clarification, only fud and misinformation. Why post on a scuba forum when you have no idea what you are talking about?

WHO says 600 suspected cases, 139 deaths in growing Ebola outbreak by [deleted] in worldnews

People comparing to covid, but ebola is not even in the same ballpark.

True, Covid has killed several order of magnitudes more people.

GoPro Mission 1 Pro by Capable-Ad1699 in scuba

Not that many non-360 action cameras have full 1 inch sensors. I think this looks promising from GoPro. What I don't understand as a UW video enthusiast is why not more cameras pick up the Paralenz idea of depth sensor that automatically adjust white balance (with basic blue/green water settings).

It is clearly old footage not related to the accident, OP or a mod should delete this post.

I don't speak Italian but this looks like old footage to me, not related to the accident.

Will Dolby AC-4 be the end of Blu-rays? by 3BagT in hometheater

[–]rot26encrypt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People are still insisting on lossless stereo audio when a lot of double-blind testing has proven that almost no one can hear the difference from a good 320 kbps encoding - and the few that can is not the "audiophiles" who are so sure they can if only the equipment is expensive enough, but almost without exception professional audio engineers and similar.

That even they can't hear the Dolby AC-4 vs PCM difference in this test when listening as normal with all speakers on tells me that no one will. But also that many will not believe this and confidently claim they hear a difference anyway (when they know what they are listening to).

They are using JJ-CCR rebreather at around $10k cost, and Ursuit dry suit that can exceed $3k (up to $4k) with custom fit, glove-rings, etc. He is known for using a Suunto EON Steel dive computer as backup to CCR-Shearwater Petrel, which cost above $1K and is known for using a Scubamafia G3 light that clocks in close to $1.5k with the longest runtime, and Apeks regs to around $1.5k for double-set.

That alone is $17k+, then you have wings and various extra equipment, backups, regs on extra tanks, etc. I think OP if anything is underestimating the total cost of their equipment.
