I'll probably wash my truck and then go buy some baseboard for work tomorrow. Might go to my camp spot to sit and cook by a fire in the evening.
Update: Truck washed (washed my bike too), baseboards bought, replaced the bedding for my gerbil and now eating some yoghurt before heading out into the woods to muddy my clean bike.
A huge number of cave divers use re-breathers instead of an open system. It gives them much more time underwater and it doesn't create bubbles which in turn can cause the silt in those caves to become suspended in the water taking visibility to zero. Cave divers even kick water differently to avoid this. It only takes one person to start kicking water in panic to screw up everyone in that cave. This is exactly why cave diving requires certification and why many of the entrances have signs telling people not to go in.
Also, the article calls them rescue divers but the more appropriate term is a body recovery diver. It's extremely rare that anyone gets rescued alive.
Edd Sorenson is one of the most legendary recovery divers alive and he has amazing stories about it. That quy has nerves made of steel.
I think that if something is made illegal, it should be very clearly defined. "Hate speech" is wide open to interpretation and can easily be used to silence all kinds of speech. The issue isn't the obvious cases but where exactly we draw the line. If that line can't be made crystal clear, it's a slippery slope toward tyranny. Being offensive is okay - spreading hate and inciting violence isn't.
I don't think anyone has ever claimed a person like that is more likable. They do have better prospects on the short-term dating market, broadly speaking, but that's about it.
When it comes to women, what they generally look for in a mate is the capacity to be bad - but not acting that way toward them. It signals both competence and kindness. Just being "bad" isn't good in the long run, and neither is being "good" when it's just a survival strategy rather than a conscious choice.
I'm not american and I too prefer the 12 hour clock. 24 hour clock has never been intuitive for me. I always have to put in brain power to convert it in my head.
Nuclear war leads to nuclear winter. If the explosions wont kill you then the cold and crop failures will. This is basically what killed the dinosaurs too except instead of nuclear bombs it was an asteroid.
I saw an aggressive driver tailgating an RV and looking for a moment to overtake today on my way back home from work. Then my phone notified me of a speedtrap ahead and I was basically praying for him to floor it but he didn't. It would've been glorious.
Yeah, I think the only powertool that I'm more scared of than a table saw is a chainsaw. I guess the day I stop feeling afraid is when I should stop using it.
Oli rauhallista liikenteessä aamulla, kun ajelin töihin. Yrittäjällä on vapaata silloin, kun ei ole työtilauksia, eli nähtävästi tammi- ja helmikuussa.
I don't really use Instagram or Facebook but I do have profiles for my bussiness there. Other than that, Twitter and YouTube are the only ones I still use and have a personal profiles on.
I feel like a variation of this exact article gets posted here every single day for the past year or so, and every time the same comments show up underneath. Nobody ever opens one of these threads and discovers a surprising or novel point of view.
I don't understand why people spend their whole day talking about something they don't like. It's so bizarre to me.
I don't think you fully appreciate the implications of creating something orders of magnitude more intelligent than us. You can't outsmart something smarter than you. Even if it was only as smart as the smartest human, being a computer it would still process information a million times faster. Everything would happen in super-slow motion from its perspective. It would have so much time to consider each move.
Humans aren't anywhere near the strongest primate on Earth, yet we're by far the dominant one. I don't think a gorilla has any idea just how much smarter we are, and even if it did, it would probably still assume that a war with humans would mean us outnumbering them, hitting, biting, and throwing things at them. They'd have no clue we can end them from a distance without them ever knowing what hit them. They can't even imagine all the ways we could - and have - screw things up for them, even when we have nothing against gorillas.
The point isn't that I think this is absolutely going to happen, but just to highlight that we're effectively rolling the dice on it and seeing what happens - which I find incredibly irresponsible. This whole "it'll be fine, we can always turn it off" attitude is incredibly naive and short-sighted.
