Interesting theory - but wouldn't there have to be some gas involved (bubbles, cavities) as water isn't impacted by pressure (at least not at a level experienced while scuba diving)? The pressure though will certainly impact the (pressure) sensor in the bladder signalling that it is full. But my impression (no pun intended) is - as you also suggest - that the bladder actually fills up faster due to some physical / physiological effects while diving. Even at the surface at some point the lower part of the belly is palpably tense. My hunch would be that something speeds up reverse osmosis (mineral/colloidal concentration of two regions separated by a membrane evening out by water moving into the region with higher concentration); as I'd assume that the already present urine has much higher concentration in salts and proteins compared to the surrounding tissue.

I just had the idea that it might be due to water entering the body and blood stream through the skin (by means of reverse osmosis). The kidneys then excrete the excess water into the bladder.

I wish I could do that, too. But I'm suffering from Paruresis aka Shy Bladder Syndrome. Really weird condition. Mostly just a mild nuisance at worst. But there is this phenomenon where you have to pee when scuba diving even if you don't drink more than absolutely necessary. Twice I was stuck on a speed boat bumping up and down while my bladder was full to the brim - that is very painful ... everybody just merrily spreading their fountains of pee off the deck. Anyone here successfully made peace with their inner dolphin?

> Is he stupid?

to clarify ... the ignorance behind a statement implying that working at chrome has been anything other than contributing to enshittifying the the quality level of the web in the past years is showing a disconnect from reality that in my terms deserves to be labelled as "stupid".

the post oozes narcissism. and he even seems to think he contributed to the health of the internet by working at chrome.

how do you use it? i tried it once and quickly lost interest as the conversation turned shallow and schematic. not organic and insightful as i would expect from an actual therapy session.

same people who are convinced russia is going to lose the ukraine war and go bankrupt while at the same time endangering europe.

it's all about rhetorics being used to manipulate for personal gains of a small elite. the kind of elite who makes billion dollar contracts via sms and then accidentally loses such sms.

The caveat is that there's almost nobody in Germany who'd be physically fit and or motivated to actually fight a war. Germany was systematically drained off anything even remotely resembling patriotism. This was politically and legally enforced by borderline criminalizing terms like Heimat (home / homeland), forget about displaying its flag without raising eyebrows. Its cultural DNA is diluted to an extent that I'd be hesitant to even call it a country - it's basically just an area with lots of people living on it. There's no coherent society anymore. The war machines will all be sold to other countries. Rich people will get richer and the plebs will be brought to heel with orchestrated fear. It's a funny irony that the warmongers in German politics are the same people who'd have taken any opportunity to express their contempt for anything military up until only a few years ago.

skynet will use psychological manipulation on a global scale and bribing were it sees fit. it will make your stocks rise if you comply and feign your criminal records to turn you into a pedophile if you don't. who is to say we aren't already its tools.

any qualified opinions here on tresorit? i'm using them now for about three years and the service is alright and reliable afaiac. supposedly they don't have the private key. that makes using it sometimes a little slow compared to other options. but i decided to go with them after reading numerous horror stories about dropbox et al.
