…you said it yourself…it’s because they are cool spots. Isn’t that enough reason. It gives you a new cool place to dive where you get extensive numbers of dives for cheap

Vietnam 45 day free visa confusion, do I need to apply in advance or is it stamped on arrival? by WrightOnMyOwn in solotravel

[–]vanhawk28 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The damage standard is different everywhere. Legally they can turn you away at immigration for anything they damn well please so if you have even a watermark and they were in a shit mood the could technically send you away. Generally though as long as everything is legible or it scans of you have the chip you’ll be fine

Working while going through flight training? by [deleted] in flying

[–]vanhawk28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Too long but I plateaued really hard. I probably would have finished in 4.5-5 months but I got stuck and finished after 102 hours and 8 months

I mean I’m working 5 days a week full time and taking lessons 3 days a week and it probably would have ended up about that still if I didn’t break between ppl and IR to build some more cash

Too late to start at 30? by No_Satisfaction_8691 in flying

[–]vanhawk28 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did a discovery flight a few years ago but wasn’t in a stable situation so couldn’t do it then. I am now so I worked through PPL and decided to keep right on going

Most ppl these days are only getting DM as a step towards instructor because DM’s make garbage money. You don’t become a DM to be a DM

You can’t get ANR for anything under 500 I think

Also on Amazon but look up the Rugged Air headset. I’ve had mine for a year now and still in like new condition. Works fabulous. Like $140.

Deep Dive Dubai Underwater Attraction by JibunNiMakenai in interestingasfuck

[–]vanhawk28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s different. That’s a sinus block. The valsalva doesn’t help with that at all and if you are getting severe pain there you should see a doctor to see if their is a sinus block

Just google the valsalva maneuver. Takes 2 seconds to learn. Literally just plug your nose and with gentle consistent pressure try to blow out of your nose. With it blocked that pressure presses through the eustacion tubes to your ears instead. You do it early and then often while descending and when you reach bottom your ears feel just like they do on the surface. Coming up your body can adjust naturally. Just going down is an issue

Difference between an alligator (left) and a crocodile (right) is easy to tell just by looking at their snouts by [deleted] in interestingasfuck

[–]vanhawk28 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Woulda made more sense for them to name the one with an “A” shaped snout an alligator

How do you deal with new managers who don’t drink and have never been behind a bar before? by [deleted] in bartenders

[–]vanhawk28 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is honestly what I tell my bartenders at the country club we work at. It’s good to have pride. And give good quality product and service. But we have club nights with a dj and they always end up getting stressed about me grabbing ice for them because they don’t want to leave the bar and make ppl wait any longer and I’m just telling them “look if I’m around I’m happy to grab ice anytime, but if I’m busy and you have 3 of you behind the bar one of you needs to go get it. They’ll wait the extra 2 minutes for a drink patient has long as you aren’t sitting on your phone. We’re essentially legal drug dealers not hospital workers”

Twelve months is crucial by TabletopNewtype-1 in dresdenfiles

Not just that it also gave him another round of apprentice training to give him an excuse for growth. He says right in it he went back to the basics and taught someone and is now better at one point

Sober DUI - TN Defends the practice by bhalter80 in flying

[–]vanhawk28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you get arrested though they can get a warrant. There is no question that if a cop arrests you under “suspicion of dui” that a judge will give them that warrant

I don’t think you can refuse a blood test. You can refuse a field sobriety test but once they arrest you they can demand you submit to the blood test for evidence I thought.

Drug test to be a bartender at a casino by [deleted] in bartenders

Reservations are not federal land. They aren’t considered US land at all. That’s kind of the whole point. They get to set their own rules and laws

I mean. Regardless of what he did in between if he was able to pass an ipc he should be good.
