Absolutely agree with all of that. Doing a shore approach with an Emerson at two in the morning is scary as gently caress, especially if you got dropped off 10K out.

My cousin does cave diving in the cenotes in the Yucatan Peninsula (he's mapping the underwater currents for the Mexican Governement), and I have told him multiple times that he is out of his loving mind. My limit was under ice diving which is also risky and dangerous as hell, but still not as bad as caves or wrecks.

Why all the hate for wrecks?

Some of my most memorable dives have been big wrecks in Malta, like the car ferry where you enter at the main staircase and swim around the open promenade, or in the Keys the Spiegel Grove which has a couple of amazing swim throughs.

Can be done safely with a reel, a guide, and a good knife -- and you're never normally more than 30 seconds from an exit.

Rebreathers, long deco and deep cave dives can go gently caress themselves, tho. For sure.

I was going to ask about the castor/caster spelling, but looked it up - and it's sort of neat: To cast is one of those verbs with a whole list of meanings, and one of the archaic ones is to turn.

The -er ending is Germanic, and creates nouns from verbs - a rider is one who rides, and so on. It goes all the way back to proto-germanic and has cognates everywhere; it's identical in e.g. Norwegian.
The -or ending is from Latin, and goes back to at least classical Latin - it's derived from the same endings as -tor (e.g. aviator), and I bet it has relatives throughout the latinic languages. It does exactly the same thing: An actor is one who acts.

So castor and caster are both "one who casts [turns]", just constructed with two different and independent endings from two different language families - that do exactly the same thing. It's a neat little example of the weirdness that is English. :)

When I dived wrecks there were generally fresh bodies in them.

When you listen to the full lyrics of the song it becomes kind of apparent that it isn't really "about Dune", the prechorus lyrics (and I guess the title) are just a funny reference to the books. Bootsy kinda goes off on his own psychedelic funky sex thing on the last verse and its connection to Dune are tenuous at best.

Rammstein are cool. I imagine at least a couple of the band members are licensed pyrotechnicians to be able to pull that stuff off.

Or perhaps there's more to a song and how it makes people feel then the lyrical content, which they might just not be paying much attention to.

In 1980 the state government of New Jersey was considering a motion to honor Springsteen by declaring Born to Run an unofficial state song. They weren't Nazis and chuds, they just hadn't paid attention to the lyrics.

Not all wrecks are as diver-friendly, or sink in whole, or don't degrade into rust hazards. Wrecks fall apart unevenly, gather settled particulates, and are frequently narrow, which all adds up to losing your way and losing your equipment. The comparison to cave diving is for a reason. Add to cave diving the chance that something collapses and now you're trapped?

Yeah, no thanks.

In Massie's case, it's both.
He's got a BSEE and MSME from MIT. He seems to be a capable engineer.
Unfortunately he's also a chud Senator who really should know better, but purposely plays ignorant or is dishonest. A recent example is his bullshit tweet about the power grid not being able to handle a massive expansion of EVs.

https://twitter.com/RepThomasMassie/status/1550282224326639616

he's not wrong, but there's a good reason the grid is in the state it's in and if people like him had listened to warnings about this - just like climate change - decades ago, maybe something could have been done. But now he's crying that it just won't work.
gently caress him.
