This is from my second ice dive from this past Saturday. I need one more dive to get my certification. It's a 360 video so you have to scroll around to find me, I'm the diver in the distance. We are under 10 inches of ice.

My 4 year old had a complete ugly crying meltdown today because he realized that, due to extinction, he was never going to see a living tyrannosaurus.
First two ice-dives complete, one to go for my certification.
10 inches of ice that we chainsawed a triangular hole into. Water temp was 34F. Dove down to 36 feet.
15 mm of neoprene between me and the cold. 3mm shorty, 5mm hooded vest, and 7mm full.
It was awesome
I think I somehow deleted my comment in replying. Apologies.
I had asked about trackers and ad blockers.

On a red background with yellow macaroni noodles, the text reads "A Month of Recipes, Day 1: The Macaroni Hack." There is a bowl of macaroni next to a can of beans and a tub of leftover picture on the left side. In the upper right corner is a photo of me holding up a homemade ravioli. Underneath is the name of my blog, Explorigan.
Day 1 of my month of recipes is here, and it's all about the many ways I prepare my safe food: Macaroni. It ain't about doing it the right way. It's about doing it the fast, easy, and delicious way.

As a rule I'm nuanced on how media affects public perception
Police procedurals make us think law enforcement officers are better than they are and normalize the extrajudicial killings of ordinary people.
I think we should stop making them. And for that to happen you should stop watching them.

If I needed proof of Tidal being superior to Spotify, this is it
