Primary is the stage attached to the tank, HP (high pressure) Secondary, LP (low pressure) the one(s) you put in your mouth. The octopus is an extra secondary, as backup, or to share.

The octopus should have a plug or shroud, to keep it free of debris.

It’s a good idea to give it a short purge before diving, to test.

The octopus (usually but not always) yellow is the one to share 1st, and if that fails, buddy breathe with your own.

The octopus should be held by a clip on your BCD, or in the absence of a hose clip, tucked in a shoulder strap making a loop. Free octopuses are not a good idea for several reasons, like debris, you can’t see if it’s open or bubbling, it can snag, etc.

Russia invades Ukraine. Sanction the fuck out of Russia.

Israel invades Palestine…

Up to the time they were integrated in cars, in my country it was illegal to operate a phone while driving.

Israel has a ton of defense products integrated in many western defense products.

Rafael is an example. Many more.

I got Disney with a telecom package. Then they added a surcharge because Disney raised their price. I cancelled my plan and got the bare bones fiber+mobile plan, got a parrot, grew a beard, cut one of my legs, one of my hands, and got a peg leg and a hook. Best decision.

You are driving your point home there.

I believe someone downloaded all the the part’s files and 3D printed one.

Ok, you may be facing disk rot. Disk rot is much more prevalent on self recorded that commercial recordings.

ddrescue is probably your best bet.There are other options, but I’ve always had the best results with ddrescue. There is no way to fix disk rot.

Maybe.

Quick question, are these burned blank disks, or purchased commercial disks?

I’m a country coordinator for a SMART Recovery country other than the US.

This is highly unlikely, but I will check this out.

I find the idea that SMART would sell your data highly unlikely. SMART is privacy focused. Nick names are encouraged, you can enter zoom meetings with camera and mic silenced. SMART definitely does not collect personal data, only attendance numbers for internal statistics. SMART accepts donations from recovery organizations, but does not have any obligations towards them.

As I said, I will follow up.

Much of IT is subcontracted, so there may be the origin, and it will be looked into.

BTW, SMART’s Financials are public. You are free to check if there is income from selling your data.

Also, maybe look for a CD lens cleaner.

May be hard to find nowadays. An alternative is gently clean the lens with a Qtip slightly moist with distilled water, and dried with the other, dry end.

As I do from time to time, I’m going to shamelessly plug SMART Recovery.

Free, science based, non-judgemental, 1000’s of online meetings, behavior oriented, not substance or behavior. Practical, non exclusive of other methods, groups, etc.

The ABC method from Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy has worked wonders from me. Tons of videos on YouTube.

I’m an omnivore, and delight in eating meat, animal products.

I’m lucky that I live midway between the city and agricultural areas , and can, and have gone, to the farms where the animals are raised. The cows where my butcher gets the meat are free in pastures, the chickens in a fenced area, but with fairly ample space, fed grain.

It’s not a vegan thing, it’s decency.

Franklin mint is one of those TV advertisers that sell trinkets for a fortune, no? Has any of their offerings ever risen in value?

You have sunk to new lows

Gaaah! Daaaad!
