You should never point a gun at something you don’t want to kill. Could have hurt a kitty!

I just hope I will be able to afford upgrading to something made in China.

Targeting civilians can get them to support the war a lot more because fuck that guy bombing us.

Targeting corporate assets, especially if the people generally dislike the corporations? That is far more interesting. I don’t know if there are many good examples of that. I suspect you may see an increasing hatred towards government and corporations from the people while corporations will lobby governments to do more to defend their things.

They still exist?

More speculation on how someone could mess up trying to copy it if they don’t consider safety

Also believe? I don’t think I ever said anything shouldn’t be freely available.

Yes, this one does. Someone copying it may make poor choices and change it in ways that are dangerous.

Overpressure, 10m deep is roughly double the pressure at sea level.

Iron lung diving snorkel setup. Allows you to overcome the pressure and use a 15m long snorkel!

And you accidentally set it to the wrong depth and blow up your lungs.

This is why I keep to shallow freediving or snorkeling. There also isn’t anything of value to see in the water here which helps. Sometimes the water is almost clear enough to see your feet. Did manage to swim through a school of tiny fish before.

Not having to surface as often could be nice, but most ways of doing that involve quite a few risks and/or costs, so a snorkel is probably the best choice.

I can see someone strapping the helmet to their head, then get a leak while 1m deep. They notice when it fills up. Panic and try to get it off, can’t. Surface, it’s still full of water because the leak is at the air entry hole and they designed it to fit snugly around the neck and it won’t drain without tipping upside down. Drowns while struggling to undo the straps holding it on

Give Finland some pervitin!

Execs from my water company should sleep with the sewage polluted fishes.

Yeah, it’s adding some risks of diving without many of the safety mechanisms or training.

Should be ok as it isn’t going that deep anyway. If it fails you get out and surface.

First thought was nope nope nope to diy diving helmet, but looks like it would be quick to remove so not too bad. Feels way overengineered if you just wanted to sit in your pool though.

I know snorkels get into problems with depth as your lungs can’t inhale against the pressure. But I am curious how deep that would get you. The dead air in the snorkel is another issue but you can solve that easily with some valves or just exhaling through your nose. Bit impractical to have a very long rigid snorkel but a tube attached to a float could work. Just not sure what the depth limit would be before you can’t fill your lungs anymore. 1m? 5m?

Not wrong either. Its 17:01 right now and he is sat looking at me already.

Text messages from my cat would look like this:

15:45 - Why is my food bowl empty?

16:02 - I need more food in my bowl

16:17 - Feed me, I have tried calling!

16:26 - Come on, it was dinner time hours ago

16:38 - I will start to destroy your property if you don’t feed me

16:48 - I am starving! This is neglect! I will call the RSPCA!

17:00 - Is that my food cup? I love you I love you I love you!

So far seen more sources that seem to point to this being about data harvesting personal information of children. Which if that is the case, fuck reddit. But also why do only children get their data protected? But also fuck reddit anyway.

Seen different sources, some say its about age verifying to protect children from content, others about age verification because they are harvesting data they shouldn’t be harvesting on children. What about they shouldn’t be fucking data harvesting on anyone?!

Either way, fuck reddit. But I really hope this is just because they are harvesting data that they shouldn’t because then at least Lemmy should be safe from this kind of thing by just not harvesting user data. Reddit already requires ID to view NSFW in the UK, so if its “harmful content” I would be kinda curious what that is too.
