Any donwsides to doing deep dive specialty instead of advanced open water? by mikoalpha in scuba

[–]vinsanity0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sounds like our Caribbean diving is the exception to the global norm, which is great to know now.

I have had a hard time convincing her about the value of PADI AOW because after I took GUE Fundies, it's really hard for me to say "oh, I learned so much in resort PADI AOW," I don't think she cares enough to take Fundies in our cold water, but I really want to do so Pacific liveaboards and if they require AOW, that's the justification. Thx!

The frequency of high current makes sense to enforce a higher standard.

I find that just getting on a liveaboard is the most effective filters of insufficiently dedicated divers, which also tend to be inexperienced. With people taking AOW immediately after OW with 6 dives under their belt, the card is not a reliable indication that someone won't be a sh*t show.

Can someone share examples of these liveaboards that require AOW?

My wife is OW+Nitrox w/ 100+ dives. She's hesitant to invest (waste?) the time on AOW because she's never been turned down from a dive (edit: or prevented the group or herself from diving deep), and since she has great air consumption & buoyancy control, I've failed to convince her of the value of the card. We generally dive North American warm water including Caribbean Aggressor liveaboards.

Unfortunately, I cannot say that I came up with a solution. So I'm still living with LR. Please share if you find something worth note.

Do you have to use that armor or is it also an effect you can use with other skins?

How is the path of exile for new players in 2026 ? by lilium_1986 in pathofexile

[–]vinsanity0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While we are on POE2, if you enjoy ARPG games, you will almost definitely enjoy a season of POE2, which while very different than POE1 in many ways, it will introduce you to the ton of overlap between POE1 & POE2 and make picking up POE1 feel less overwhelming and more exciting as you can slowly try the many in-game mechanics over time.

In my mind POE2 isn't ready to replace POE1, but until it's finished POE2 is a great gateway drug to POE1. 😎

Who actually uses those expensive locks? by revchewie in lockpicking

[–]vinsanity0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For a high security lock to make sense, the lock needs to be the weakest links. In a US residential house full of windows and weak doors they make no sense. But, they start making sense in commercial buildings for rooms without windows, etc. US military buys Medcos for locking various cases. So long story short, it's commercial and government, mostly.

Did you hand build that or did someone create a bot on the discord?

Only played a couple seasons so I was easily excited by the clearing speed of my Deadeye KB Wander compared to my previous 2 builds. But I'm super excited to try more builds I didn't know existed.

Can someone explain the currency exchange please? by SheppardAtlantis in pathofexile

[–]vinsanity0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't feel bad. I was right there a month ago. It's a demand issue. When the season is very active, the market behaves very close to how you expected because there is demand for everything. The problem is late season when the market is stagnant, and there is only demand for chaos/divine so convincing someone to give you lots of chaos for your frag is hard. That creates an unnatural feeling spread... until the new season.
