WEll I think I know enough to finally answer that question

which I just did

@MiG I'm the most high T man I know (real)

Back from Sea Base and now I want to get my Open Water Scuba Instructor

@Unionhawk I assume this does not refer to lab tested testosterone levels? ;)

@Wipqozn what game is that?

For a moment all this talk about testosterone made me think I was in TIF

TIF?

heh

@MiG Neon White

So apparently, Penny Arcade comics have one image per panel

penny-arcade.com/comic/2022/06/20/skipr

@Nzall I thought this was going to be a joke about how they didn't add a skip option, just a speed up option.

which is very strange

because yeah, no one cares about the story

It's bad

that still surprises me, both in games and movies... The script writer is usually the one at the end that costs pennies, even really good ones get fees that are a tiny fraction from the total budget... Why diminish an otherwise good product with a shitty story? :/

@Nzall guess for the responsive

so on desktop its horizontal, on mobile its verticala

ooo neat

osrs pets are now automatically insured

(before you had to pay 500k to insure and 1m to reclaim, I think it's now just 500k to reclaim)

I thought it was still 1m to reclaim

Oh it is 1m

I just have 500k credit towards my next reclaim

PSA: Steam Summer Sale has started. Goes until 7-7

Well, first two Amazon interviews felt like they went well

Just about to start the third

@SaintWacko That's good! I think. assuming it's a good place to work.

Make sure to check if pee breaks are explicitly mentioned in the contract... if not, insist including them

Oh yeah that reminds me I need to reply to that one linkedin recruiter and tell them to never insult me again with a "10 days per month wfh" posting

@Wipqozn They offer a lot of money...

@Unionhawk My son and I are planning to do that this summer

Diving is cool

The hardest part is convincing yourself it's okay to breathe underwater

A week of sea base reminded me how much I missed doing it every day

Oh yeah, there's a reason we start in confined water

I think the first confined water dive for Open Water Diver is just Discover Scuba (under the direct supervision of an instructor, students descend in confined water, breathe, maybe swim around a bit, and ascend)

In fact I think if you do Discover Scuba that counts for Open Water Diver

Sea Base does an Instructor Development Course and I qualify for it, but you pay it back by working there, same as Divemaster Academy

And I can't really commit to a full season probably

Oh no Dive 1 is a little more than Disccover Scuba, but the skills portion is in shallow water (breathe compressed air normally, clear a regulator, recover a refulator, clear a partially flooded mask, and breathe from an alternate air source)

and then you swim around in deeper water for a bit, read your SPG, recognize hand signals, and ascend properly

(this is per my 2013 Instructor Manual so it may have changed)

Sounds pretty cool :)

Actually wait that is still just Discover Scuba, it would help if I looked at the other side of my Discover Scuba Diving Cue Card

which indicates to practice those basic skills first
