Scuba Forum / General / September 2008Has my server dropped rec.scuba?
Everything is gone. I haven't looked in here for 10 days or more. So I guess this is a test post. chilly > Everything is gone.

They *did* drop everything but the "Big 8" newsgroups. ____________________________________________ Regards, Arnold > Your test made it to the Verizon News servers. They *did* drop > everything but the "Big 8" newsgroups. If someone is looking for a cheap USENET provider, you might want to try http://news.AstraWeb.com... They have a $25 for 110GB plan that would be great for just text based USENET since it would take *forever* to use up 110GB with just text postings... Of course, they handle all the binary groups, so if someone was wanting that sort of stuff, they could probably use up that 110GB fairly quickly... I've been using it for half a month now and have only used up 2M, so at this rate, it theoretically will last me 75 years...

But it's still popular enough (among the cognoscenti) that you can easily get it to download, and it is my default mail and newsgroup reader. It has a very simple newsgroup reader on the main page. Just right-click "newsgroups", select "subscribe", and it will list about 108 thousand newsgroups. Highlight yer choice and hit susbscribe. Note that a huge number of the listed newsgroups have disappeared, closed down by commercial websites, dead from lack of interest, displaced by blogging, or replaced by chatrooms like rec.scuba. Also note that Netscape does not decode binaries other than non-Y-enc .jpg But it's free, it's very user friendly and reliable, it's by far the best mail reader/composer, and it does an excellent job with most newsgroups. For downloading music and other combine/decode newsgroups, Agent is prolly the best. m > But it's free, it's very user friendly and reliable, it's by far the > best mail reader/composer, and it does an excellent job with most > newsgroups.

Is Netscape a free news server, and if so, what's the address? >>But it's free, it's very user friendly and reliable, it's by far the >>best mail reader/composer, and it does an excellent job with most [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > to a news server.

ATT worked fine when I > was using it. > > I can't imagine using an ISP that won't connect me to newsgroups, > though. Isn't that what yer buying, internet serving? Not all ISPs provide USENET access... Some seriously restrict it... My ISP (ComCRAP) has a limit of 2G on your monthly download... If you exceed it, it carries over for the next month(s)... I set an autodownloader up 2 months or so ago to pull down all the music audios from a particular newsgroup just to see what it was like... Ooops... I should have USENET access via ComCRAP in a few more months... I had use Motzarella for a news server, but they were having problems one day and I started looking around and stumbled across this one... Although it does binaries, if I stick to strictly text newsgroup, it should last me for the rest of my life... If the company sticks around that long, I'll be surprised...

Yeah, Percocet and a houseboy at her beck and call (me) does wonders for morale. But wait until I open up the bags of smelly scuba gear + clothes and demonstrate how she can easily do laundry from the comforts of a wheelchair, that smile will vanish in a flash! But thanks. This went from me thinking a mild sprain at first, to a diagnosed but healable fracture, to slicing her open and nailing a plate to her leg.

Surely you're not calling Janna a whore? That would be despicable and low even coming from you. Exactly what do you call a broken fibula at a deserted dive site on a small Caribbean island if it's not an emergency, you fuckhead? And with insurance that we paid for, not the United States taxpayers? How you can compare an debilitating injury to your abuse of funds from a taxpayer-funded disaster relief program to buy ice cubes and air conditioning is beyond me. Janna was writhing in pain, the lower end of her leg bone split in half, while your "emergency" is you needed a cold drink. How the f.ck the rest of your me-too gang can keep on defending you after you keep setting the rung lower time after time again is beyond me. You're starting to make Black look like someone deserving of the Nobel Prize in comparison. Do they revoke those "My Hero" plaques when the "hero" devolves into an utter piece of sh.t?

That would be despicable and > low even coming from you. As far as I know, you're not Janna, so it's a pretty sure thing that I'm not referring to her. I am, however, applying your own logic to your own case. When I legally used a program that I, along with others, paid for, to receive benefits I was entitled to under that program, you seemed to think I was a whore for doing so. Yes, I know you didn't use the word originally, but you certainly supported the person that did. Like I said, I certainly hope YOU'RE not being a whore and using insurance intended for real emergencies.

Who the f.ck do you think is using the insurance, dipshit? Her injury, her insurance. Since Janna is using insurance for her emergency, you're calling her a whore. Like I said, low even for a scumball like you. > I am, however, applying your own logic to your own case.

Yes, I know you didn't use the word originally, but you certainly > supported the person that did. Your logic is asanine, comparing private insurance with public disaster relief benefits. You took a welfare handout when you didn't need it. We bought insurance in case we needed it and we did. Why didn't you buy insurance that would buy you a generator if you needed it? In fact, why didn't you just buy a generator? Why should the government buy you a generator and not buy me a generator? Why should the government buy anyone a generator, especially those who are able to buy their own generators? Those are a valid questions that you can't possibly answer without making yourself look like a piece of sh.t. > Like I said, I certainly hope YOU'RE not being a whore and using insurance > intended for real emergencies. Like I said, Janna is using insurance intended for real emergencies for her real emergency, and you, the sick f.ck that you are, are calling her a whore because of it.

That just illustrates the salient fact that you don't have to live in a trailer to be trailer trash.

Congratulations y'all. We pale as examples of trash next to you. I bow to your mastery of being a lying piece of sh.t. But even you have to bow to your masters; Gates of Hell Freeze Over [Mark Steyn] Re Biden Backs Down below, one can only hope that every one of President Obama's cabinet picks will bring the same experience and gravitas to his team as his shrewd and far-sighted vice-presidential selection: "If you want to know where Al Qaeda lives, you want to know where Bin Laden is, come back to Afghanistan with me," Biden said. "Come back to the area where my helicopter was forced down, with a three-star general and three senators at 10,500 feet in the middle of those mountains. I can tell you where they are..." Biden said he would ask Palin about "The superhighway of terror between Pakistan and Afghanistan where my helicopter was forced down...John McCain wants to know where Bin Laden and the gates of Hell are? I can tell him where..." In February 2008, Biden — along with Sens. John Kerry, D-Mass., and Chuck Hagel, R-Neb. — was on a chopper that made an emergency landing in the mountains of Afghanistan. A snowstorm had forced them down. In fairness, in the weeks after 9/11, many experts cowered in terror before the soi-disant "brutal Afghan winter". But I believe Senator Biden is the first to assert it's under the direct control of Osama bin Laden. http://corner.nationalreview.com/post/?q=MzY3YjYzMTMwYzFmNjA3MzJkZWY0NGU2ZDRhYmM4OGE= > > The only sick f.cking lying whore here is you, shitbag. > > Ah, the trailer contingency rears its ugly little head. > > Plonk.

We wish we had a trailer. A '67 Chevy, actually. Lived in the backseat until I was 4, then was sent up to the front until I graduated high school at age 23. And my parents couldn't afford alcohol either, so they cooked methanol up on a still heated by the engine block. Both went blind and I had to feed them by hand with one hand while doing my homework with the other, reading my dense law books by the little map light. Even Lincoln didn't have it so bad, but at least he was a Republican and used to hard upbringing.

Day 2, her dive 4 of the Bonaire trip week before last. Walking out of the water after a shore dive and up a little slope of coral rubble to get to the truck, some of the rubble gave way and she fell. Good treads on the dive boot, so her foot didn't move and she just sort of twisted around it as she went down with the 55 lbs or so on her back. Fractured fibula and a badly stressed ligament. She got it casted in Bonaire. We were staying at a place that only had second and third floor accomodations and doc said "no stairs", hotel said no refunds, so we had to find a ground-floor place at additional cost and move in the night after she was finally done at the hospital. Figured we'd stay through Saturday for our flight out since it's a once-a-week flight and would have been a real pain to try to get her home early on a different airline. After all, she was casted and comfortable enough. Then Ike came through and canceled our once-a-week flight out through Houston. We finally got out the next day through Newark, back to L.A. via a side trip to Minneapolis. Doc back here said the bones had moved too much in the meantime to set properly, so she needed to be opened up to reset (reduce) them, and then have a metal plate screwed in place with six screws that go through the bone to keep the bones in place. Open Reduction / Internal Fixation, or ORIF for short. Plate can be removed after a year if it's uncomfortable, otherwise it's part of her forever and she gets a card to show airport security during the now mandatory wanding. Yeesh. Here's a video in case you want to learn how to do one in your own kitchen: http://www.icyou.com/topics/medical-technology/3d-2d-medical-animation-open-redu ction-and-internal-fixation-orif-fibula-f They also inserted a syndesmotic screw while she heals. That has to be removed via another surgery in 9-12 weeks. If she steps down on the immobilized leg in the meantime, the screw breaks. That would be a bad thing. Here's a picture of how the ankle currently looks, with plate and sydesmotic screw in place: http://www.wheelessonline.com/image4/i1/synd31.jpg Needless to say, I didn't get as many pictures as I had wanted with the extended viewfinder and 105mm lens, but I did at least get one dive in with an empty housing to pressure check the works (I did the self-install!), and two working dives. Finally I was getting the hang of it by the second dive and shot a few little critters, but it's still hard to aim and find the little critter in the viewfinder. Yeah, it was hard without the extended viewfinder, since I'd have to track what I saw in a little tiny eyepiece. But now the angle is all weird, so while I have a great enlarged field of view, I end up looking in the wrong area. Practice, practice, I guess. That's what I was supposed to be doing in Bonaire. Now we're supposed to be going to Cozumel in December, but I'm not sure if I want to bring the camera. It's supposed to take about 10 dives to get the hang of shooting wide-angle with the extended viewfinder and I think we're only scheduled for 10. I'm not sure I want to spend all my dives in a learning curve. It looks like Janna will be shore-bound that trip, probably still having a hole in her foot from the screw removal. I'd cancel, but we're pretty locked in at this point, I could use a real vacation now, and she won't suffer too much at the hotel while I'm gone in the mornings. At least I won't have to worry about her breaking an ankle on the dive boat! > Here's a video in case you want to learn how to do one in your own > kitchen: Ehhhh.. I'll pass.

Yeah, that comes with practice, I guess. I use an angled scope when out birding, so it was an easier transition for me. But with pygmy seahorses and the like, I usually get Pritha to hold a finger or pointer at a reference point, aim on the finger/pointer and recompose. > It's supposed to take about 10 dives to get the hang of shooting wide-angle with the > extended viewfinder and I think we're only scheduled for 10. I'm not > sure I want to spend all my dives in a learning curve. With a wideangle, it's a lot easier.. atleast for me. You roughly compose the scene just by looking and then tweak through the VF. I reckon you can always practice in a pool or even on land (just the housing, handles and VF). What lens are you using on the WA, incidentally? > It looks like > Janna will be shore-bound that trip, probably still having a hole in > her foot from the screw removal.

Gotta hate it when a small injury snowballs like that. Yeah, I think things might have been different had we been shore diving at Laguna Beach, though I don't know how they would have gotten her up the stairs. You know, call 911 on the cell phone and helicopters immediately descend from the heavens and all. But not in Bonaire. The worst part was, after realizing there was no way I'd be able to get her back in the truck myself without causing her extraordinary pain, trying to decide whether to abandon her there with a bottle of water and make the long drive back to town alone to find help, or to keep waiting until someone else hopefully showed up. Fortunately that question was answered a few minutes later by a couple friendly Dutch guys who thankfully chose the same site to make their dive. > My best wishes to her for a speedy recovery with no after-effects. Thanks! I think she'll be "better than before" in terms of ankle strength, slowly becoming a bionic woman. Now we just need to get the other one plated and she'll be the best shore diver around. > > self-install!), and two working dives.

Of course the benefit can be while you're looking around for your subject, you find something even tinier. I was shooting (trying to shoot, at least) squat anemone shrimp when I noticed a really tiny shrimp that made the teeny-tiny anemone shrimp look like giant prawns. Never managed to get it in focus enough, but the fact that I even saw it was testament to the magnified viewer. > > It's supposed to take about 10 dives to get the hang of shooting wide-angle with the > > extended viewfinder and I think we're only scheduled for 10.

Yeah, I guess I could practice in a pool since there's one about 10 feet from me. I always think about that, right before I'm packing for a trip. With no trip immediately at hand, I suppose I could practice my macro skills on dead insects and macro on whoever I can coax into swimming with me. > What lens are you using on the WA, incidentally? 12-24mm zoom.

I'm the early bird, so half my chore, after dealing with our gear and the camera, is getting her up and about so we can make the dive boat. Not having to stress about her underwater - she's a good diver and all, but I still stress - and not having to stress to make the boat in time will make for a more stress-free dive trip than usual. I just hope I don't come back to the room to find she's slipped on those oh-so-slick Mexican polished marble floors and broken a femur!

It's sore now because the cast is very loose a week after the surgery now that the swelling has subsided, but she's otherwise weaned herself off the Percocet except as a bedtime cocktail. She goes in tomorrow for a new cast and I'll get to see what the scar looks like.

If someone has a broken ankle or leg, the pressure of the sheet isn't going to kill them. You keep pretending to be someone in the medical field and you keep claiming your father won a medal in the war. The more you talk, the more you show what an impostor you are.
