Why does my son have trouble concentrating at school? His report cards are terrible!

We actually did use proper PPE with chemicals. My grandpa was really fussy about it and so was my dad. Heavy rubber boots, gloves, respirator, coveralls, etc. I'm guessing he started doing that when he was in the Army Aircorps and just kept doing it once he got back from the war.

This was very unusual. Most people I knew were soaked in Banval and Atrazine all the time. I got soaked in gas and diesel from time to time. I did get soaked in Accent once, but you can basically drink that stuff like water. All it does is make you itchy. The tank had pressurized for no reason and the drain valve went crazy when I opened it. Must have been temperature differential.

A YouTube boat building series I watch did a profile of one of the people who work on it. Part of it was the guy describing his stint traveling around the country by hopping freight trains and, thanks to this thread, all I could think about was how lucky he was to get though that expierience with his limbs intact.

The next segment was that same guy describing how he got the nickname "no feet Pete."

Ha, I have thought about posting Shiey in here before, but concluded that since he seems to know exactly what he is doing, and that thing is deliberately outside the rules, it's sort of borderline. The train wheel thing is a different kind of risk than his usual "climbing up a bridge tower in sandals", though - and more in the thread spirit. :)

Also, I never connected that "until" is just Norwegian "inntil" with some vowel drift. ("Inntil" has remained "close to" in Norwegian - while plain "til" means, among other things, "until".)

Stobe the Hobo was a favourite of mine. When looking for a video to post I thought I'd watch his first one and realise he might have been an act the whole time. "An alcoholic who died due to being run over by a train whilst drunk" act though.

Let's talk SCUBA rebreathers! The Everest thread went on a bit of a SCUBA derail, and I figured it'd fit here, too.

SCUBA diving is mostly safe, *so long as you do open water diving on basic, well tested kit, with a buddy & backups*. But there is a particular discipline of risk-takers called "technical divers" who will do all sorts; cave diving (that's a nope from me), decompression diving (where if you go up to the surface too soon your joints swell up with nitrogen and you end up dead or with joint pain for the rest of your life) or rebreather diving (where, instead of carrying tanks of breathing gas, you carry a 'scrubber' that removes CO2 and a much smaller tank of O2 that can be injected to make up the gas volume again).

Rebreathers in particular will kill you without warning, if the tiniest little thing goes wrong. Too much O2 in your mix? Oxygen toxicity, you seize and die. CO2 scrubbing fail? "the user will experience extreme respiratory distress, followed by loss of consciousness and death".

And of course, these are all controlled by computers.

The chemicals used to scrub CO2 will also react violently with water, producing highly caustic foam that you will then proceed to inhale.

Some rebreather divers will carry a "bail-out bottle", of regular scuba compressed gas. The idea is that if your rebreather fails, you can switch to the bottle, and it will last long enough for you to get to the surface instead of dying horribly.

Other rebreather divers choose not to carry that particular bit of safety gear, because they instead want to carry more other supplies to stay down longer.

I’m fascinated by tech diving, particularly deep water trimix and rebreather diving.

That said, I’m never voluntarily making a dive that requires a deco stop. gently caress that poo poo.

“Safety” stops are totally decompression stops with a friendlier name to discourage recreational divers from thinking of their blood going fizzy.

this is not true - if you skip a safety stop you still won't get DCS *so long as your computer/dive table calculations were absolutely correct*. It's mostly to cover for people using dive tables rather than computers, because you don't dive a square profile in reality, like, ever.

The whole point in recreational diving is you never have an overhead restriction so you can always directly surface without risking DCS, a safety stop is just to defizz if you're diving multiple profiles and derisk table divers.
