Thanks for the tip!

No fair, you cheated.
- Comment on Plans for the weekend 5 days ago:
Unless you’re in my line of work. If I do it at the end of the week, there’s guaranteed to be an incident.
Can you guess what I do?
- Comment on Anon questions our energy sector 5 days ago:
Exactly, bad PR.
Waste isn’t actually much of a problem - it’s just been portrayed as one.
- Comment on Four Dead In Fire As Tesla Doors Fail To Open After Crash 5 days ago:
I always tell passengers where the manual lever is, and where the break glass hammer is. What’s the point in having them if only 1 of you knows the location?
- Comment on Young Frankenstein is not available for streaming 5 days ago:
Well played
- Comment on Young Frankenstein is not available for streaming 5 days ago:
Funny how some poster got downvoted for this, yet you got upvoted for it in the same thread. People are fickle.
- Comment on Anon questions our energy sector 5 days ago:
Funny how people think waste is why we don’t use nuclear power.
You noticed how we’re all fine breathing in poison and carcinogens? Still haven’t banned burning fossil fuels.
It’s a money problem and a PR problem
- Comment on Optimisation is a Slow Process 1 week ago:
Maybe I’m misreading your tone, but I’m not trying to argue with you - I’m genuinely curious about this and if you have superior knowledge I’m open!
My understanding from a quick skim of Wikipedia citations suggests we understand what’s involved (particles and receptors) but the actual mechanism around encoding of signals seems to be theory.
We also can’t teach a computer to think, but we still have quite a good idea of how it works.
- Comment on Optimisation is a Slow Process 1 week ago:
Science shit?
I dont know…but I wouldn’t say that’s a good reason to doubt it, for example I don’t know how they proved black holes exist but they seem pretty confident.
- Comment on Optimisation is a Slow Process 1 week ago:
That’s how they kill the germs…very clever really.
- Comment on Optimisation is a Slow Process 1 week ago:
Isn’t smell just particulate matter hitting receptors not dissimilar to how taste receptors send taste signals to the brain? I thought science had this stuff nailed down now?
- Comment on Fead 4 weeks ago:
You know, seeing you in the wild I think is kinda like seeing quicksand. Very rare, usually fatal, but if you live - probably a great story.
Let’s see if I get out alive.

WTF is jock itch!?
- Comment on Ukraine graphics is crazy 4 weeks ago:
Have some respect. He had to get his pants on first.
- Comment on Tough Shit 5 weeks ago:
Usual shit. One user got offended at the word ‘she’ another user got offended that someone was offended, and I got offended that the offended was starting a war of words when their name was DontStartWars.
Admin apparently decided this all needed to be removed so we could focus on the important issue at hand: memes.
- Comment on Tough Shit 5 weeks ago:
Power hungry mod sterilising what they don’t like.
- Comment on Tough Shit 5 weeks ago:
Which is even more ironic when you look at their name and realise they just joined a war of words.
- Comment on Explains a lot... 5 weeks ago:
The time taken to traverse is less than the time taken to suffocate. That’d be my guess.
- Comment on 50% survival rate 5 weeks ago:
I can’t load that page so assuming it just says 1 in 10,000. That does seem like an insane difference and actually quite a high risk imo given how many people undergo surgery.
- Comment on Currently downloading The Witcher 3 for the first time. Got any advice for me? 1 month ago:
Would you recommend playing without mods first?
- Comment on Cheeky 1 month ago:
ChatGPT? Then everyone should assume this is horse shit until verified.
- Comment on 50% survival rate 1 month ago:
1 in 100,000 not 10,000 (anaesthesia deaths)
- Comment on Anon doesn't like the new meta 1 month ago:
“You’ll know one when you see one”
- Comment on What's that light? 1 month ago:
I think that’s fair. Comets don’t appear to move across the sky unless you’re observing for a long time…and anyone observing for that long needs a more complex diagram.
- Comment on End nuclear fusion! 1 month ago:
Yes. Yes it was.
- Comment on End nuclear fusion! 1 month ago:
Ah very interesting, and yes theoretically I believe. Some people are experimenting with other gases due to the price and low availability of Helium.
Rebreathers are becoming a lot more accessible these days and so are making dives much cheaper, but they’re still $20k so it takes a while to recoup the cost.
- Comment on End nuclear fusion! 1 month ago:
At a stretch perhaps, but it’s more recreational - I liken it to going to visit a castle, or going on a safari…just underwater!
- Comment on End nuclear fusion! 1 month ago:
Most welcome! I can talk endlessly about diving so welcome the question.
I added an edit with some more information incase you’re more curious.

Reducing the amount of narcotic gases in your mix so you don’t act like a drunk idiot when in a life threatening situation.
Those narcotic gases are nitrogen and oxygen (although there’s only so little oxygen you can have…and also only so much!)
