Yeah, I’m always nervous going solo on a trip and partnering up with a rando.
He obviously failed out of that dive and I don’t know if he ever went back to finish. Crazy because he had been totally fine on every skill we’d done in the pool and the first couple of open water dives. But when panic comes, it’s not easy to swallow it down.

Doing scuba certification, someone in my group went down to do the skill where you take off your mask and take out the reg and then put them back on. This was after like 2-3 hours in the water, but this guy just freaked out and started grabbing at the instructor’s reg. He’s got oxygen strapped to his own back and he still nearly drowned the person next to him.
Desperation is nuts.

It’s very common because the drowning person is often desperate and acts against their own benefit. They will grab onto their would-be savior and push them under. It’s why lifeguards will always try to approach from behind and with their can/floatation device between them and the drowning person. If you fight a lifeguard out there, they’re trained to back away. It’s easier to save an unconscious person than a flailing person.

Just a reminder, if the ocean is pushing you out to sea, don’t swim against it. Swim sideways along the shore until you don’t feel that push out to sea and THEN swim in to the shore. It’s usually not further than 30-40 yards/meters before you’re out of that rip and usually much less.

Reply to comment by Ech_01 in What causes the onset of puberty specifically? by Voomit
This is like a game of wack-a-mole. One thing is triggered by another, which was triggered by another, but we still can’t seem to get to the why. I interpret OP’s question to be “why does it start at the age it does,” so why doesn’t this cause and effect chain start at like age 5 or age 20 or age 50?

It’s not necessarily run by women. It’s not like because it’s the W…NBA that it’s all women all the time. Plus, women can be profit-focused too and not really care about the players’ personal well-being. The NFL is run by people who don’t really seem to care that their sport badly damages all the players’ brains and shortens their lifespans. These people run a business and having players miss an entire season+ to have a baby is bad for business. The players union had to specifically negotiate this issue into their CBA, in fact.

Im not saying they’re bad, I’m saying they played a ridiculously easy schedule, so all those impressive accolades you just gave could certainly be a result of them being awesome, but they could certainly be a result of them playing no one.
We’ll likely find out next week when they finally play a varsity team against the 49ers.

But the playoff format changed 2 years ago, so giving a stat based on how it had changed 20 years ago seems kinda random. It a new format, the stats kinda reset.

Based on what win over a good team this season are you confident in the Eagles?

No, it makes them continue to be bullies and often get bolder. Hence, the Australian Open took this small step.

No one is banning or disciplining players. They’re banning fans from displaying flags.

We’ve also seen bullies get ignored or kissed up to time and time again throughout history.

Punching or pushing it forward after it’s knocked out of your hand is not a forward pass.

This is California, man. We don’t just have a gallon of extra water laying around. The sun runs the electricity at my house. Jack up that heater till you need to turn in the AC.

That’s not really the Mist Trail. It technically starts at the junction like 1/4 mile past the bridge.

This feels like it’s just off the Mist Trail. Or zoomed in from the footbridge? But you’re probably right!

There is no Mist Falls. That’s Vernal Falls near (but I don’t think on) the Mist Trail.

This is also why if a pan is hard to clean, put a little water in it and heat it up and it should be easier.
