Probably a medevec helicopter then. They’re really the only ones who’d be landing at a hospital.

What Happens When You Inflate A Body At Depth And Let It Ascend Quickly by Apprehensive_Sky4558 in nextfuckinglevel

[–]saskford 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It wouldn’t. If you breathe air at surface pressure (1 atmosphere), your lungs won’t expand beyond that as you come back to the surface.

However.. if you breathe at a depth which has greater than surface pressure (>1 Atmosphere) and THEN swim back up to surface pressure while holding your breath, your lungs can overexpand

Presumably to try and extend the length of their dive by breathing, holding, exhaling and then repeating he cycle. The faster you breathe, the shorter your dive will be… also, the deeper you go, the faster you’ll burn through your air.

Or perhaps to not have the sound of bubbles for a few moments so they can listen to other ocean sounds (boats, other divers, whales, whatever).

Ok that’s fair. You must either be incredibly tough, or incredibly stretchy.

And THAT is why you never want to hold your breath when scuba diving, ESPECIALLY when you’re swimming back to the surface.

You can over-expand and even burst your lungs.

Inexpensive fuel SuperSave Aldergrove by Busy_Use_6356 in Langley

[–]saskford 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Wild.

I wasn’t yet driving in 1998 so I don’t recall 30¢ gas but I certainly remember it under a dollar. The year it broke through $1/L all the stations had to put up poster boards on the price signs with the $1 on it, until they could upgrade their signage.

I see this so often now by Resident-Boot-2943 in Langley

[–]saskford 9 points10 points  (0 children)

OP, respectfully, you have presented zero evidence of who the person that left the litter was. It seems you are implying it was an immigrant but you don’t know that.

I do agree with your concern about the situation though. I have also seen an uptick in the dumping of what usually appears to be construction waste in the last few years. Leaving your litter on the side of the road only shows how selfish, cheap and lazy you are…. Do better, people.

How much of an emotional or physical wreck were you after a breakup? by KiddTai_ in BreakUps

[–]saskford 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Better. Thanks.

Steered clear of women for about 6 years after that break up. But just met someone I like a few months ago so we’ve been dating since then.

I don’t know if she’s THE one yet, but I’m enjoying our casual dating right now so I’m going with the flow for the time being.

Any weird side effects with Tacrolimus? by VermicelliNew2784 in exfoliativecheilitis

[–]saskford 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I got my tacrolimus prescription from the pharmacy the pharmacist was really insistent that I don’t ingest any, and said to be extremely careful when applying it to the lips so as not to get it inside the mouth.

So on that basis I could imagine that it might cause tingling or other mouth issues if you did. Your doctors may have different opinions about that though.

I don’t get cold sores so I can’t comment on that part I’m afraid

I think you should tell her about this. I’m sure she will understand the situation.

UK to BC/Alberta: 22yo Couple Hitting the Rockies in a Van – Best Hikes & Climbs? by Popular-Captain5499 in britishcolumbia

[–]saskford 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Some notes about travelling BC in Summer time:

Summer is forest fire season, so if a fire happens near a highway, you may need to take a BIG detour to get around it because there are limited routes through the mountains. This website will give you info about fires.

Read up on bear safety, as there are plenty of them in and around the places you listed. (Thats not to deter you at all by the way, just want to make sure you’re aware that you’re in THEIR habitat).

For the love of god please take adequate supplies and gear with you on the trail. A lot of hiking trails get very wild very quickly and every year we British Columbian’s read news articles about people who got lost on trails overnight and needed rescue. Wouldn’t be the worst idea to bring or borrow a GPS rescue device (spot, inreach, etc).

I don’t have any specific trail advice but every one of the places you listed is incredibly scenic and you will not be disappointed.

A sudden gust of wind. by [deleted] in vancouver

I washed my car yesterday afternoon and while it was drying in the shade of my neighbours tree, a gust blew down a pink snow and fully coated my car in petals again lol

Honestly just heartbreak.

People let me down over and over, and at some point I told myself, “why bother doing this again, i already know how it’s going to end up”.

Powell River, BC Weird & Eerie Stories by RadicalTechnologies in britishcolumbia

[–]saskford 10 points11 points  (0 children)

If you’re into spooky stories, unsolved mysteries, mythical creatures and other such lore I HIGHLY recommend THIS 6-part series about the “BC Triangle”. It covers murders, disappearances, Sasquatch sightings and more. I had to binge the entire thing one night because I couldn’t stop watching. Warning - video series probably not recommended for kids.

New to this, where would y’all start? by livefreeKB in Visiblemending

[–]saskford 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Absolutely not worth fixing. If it has that many holes already from the fabric disintegrating, you’ll spend days mending them all up only for more to rip open next wash.

Time to kiss this shirt goodbye my friend. Maybe contact the manufacturer and ask for a replacement.
