    Death of my Son, I need some help

    If this has been your path in life I would say it's not father that is putting you through this, but the other consciousness a religious person would have a name for. The consciousness that is in direct OPPOSITION of father, apparently it decided to target you and do what it could to break you...

    The girl can consider herself lucky the cubs did not end up falling into her yard among the dogs, in which case mama bear would have gone berserk to protect them.

    What makes one regulator better than another?

    It's based on my experiences with various automobiles. It's like public health. No such thing. There is only health of individuals, the rest is statistics. As for cars from the 90's? There are less things that can go wrong.

    What makes one regulator better than another?

    It's used because people can understand it, that's the entire purpose of an analogy, to help bring someone to an understanding drawing from something he can relate too. It's an analogy used between sailing boats (not including sailing catamarans and sailing trimarans, those are different...

    Dive Tables VS Dive Computer

    Ancient was YOUR word which would suggest obsolete. You and I have a different philosophy, that's ok. As for building something I gave the context of building. In any case tursiops, it's for Rosevb to decide.

    Dive Tables VS Dive Computer

    Yeah, just as ancient as learning how to drive a manual car (that is to say, learning how to properly drive, any idiot can but "D" into Dummy). Look, there's a reason for why you build from the ground up. You can't do it the other way around. Dive tables are a great tool and you should learn...

    Dive Tables VS Dive Computer

    You mean presuming *sex (biological construct) not gender (social construct), and *she, it is a 17 year old woman, has made clear she is female, so there is nothing to presume. Good grief. Back to the topic at hand.... I omitted in my previous post to mentioned that a dive computer should...

    How do you feel about Chinese made gear?

    I didn't know cell phones constituted as life supporting gear, that being said, if you were to ask a woman about it the answer would be very much different i.e, the phone would be vital too her...but I'm digressing. Whilst on the topic of Chinese made landfill thou, dmaziuk. I do my best to...

    Bad attitudes about solo diving are still prevalent

    The BS (and problems) comes about when inadequate people automatically accept what ever they are being told by those in authority, who then prey on these peoples stupidity and lameness to then continuously arrest life itself with even more “laws” rules and regulations. You know, to quell the...

    Bad attitudes about solo diving are still prevalent

    It’s close enough with few exceptions, that said, of course these things are constantly being pushed for. I’m pretty sure that soon some countries will push for a bicycle license also and the need for a helmet, and that a point system would be introduced, and with the license holder not being...

    Bad attitudes about solo diving are still prevalent

    How could it be? It is recreational, it's like sailing. Don't need any certificates. As for authorities they will always look for ways to impose themselves as well as for ways to intimate themselves and finally looking for ways to find scapegoats. People need to get away from this Orwellian...

    Bad attitudes about solo diving are still prevalent

    As far as I’m concerned I’m always diving solo, even if I’m diving with a dive buddy or with a large group. It’s not that I’m not a team-player. It’s simply that I do not want to find myself in a mindset where I start viewing my dive buddy or large group as an automatic life line, thus risk...
