Usenet is not the best place to communicate if one wishes to include personal information. I don't use linkedin! That's my problem! whispering I think that's only ONE of your problems, Commander! ;-) Why is it my problem if Linkedin spams me? They're in my filter just like everyone else that sends me ****e. *whooooooosh* You said not using Linkedin was my problem. It isn't. |

Shivering doesn't mean you're going to die, it means you've lost 1 or 2C (out of 17C required to die) and your body is shivering to prevent further heat loss, not to mention brown fat cells generating heat, and of course limiting heat loss by adjusting blood flow to the skin. You're either exaggerating, Nope, I'll make some videos next time we get wintry weather here in Scotland. I've just bought an HD video camera. swim with a dry suit Dry suits are for girls. or actually a whale (or have the blubber of one). Fat people get colder, they don't have the metabolic rate to generate so much heat. It's strange that mammals have evolved blubber to survive cold water climates, then. Better to insulate than lose the heat. They'd have to eat constantly to survive. Which if prolly what you're doing for two hours: swimming vigorously to keep your temps up, but at a big calorific cost. In winter weather people die in around 30 minutes when submerged in cold (10ºC) water. The official bull**** is actually 15 minutes at 0C, 30 minutes at 5C, and a whole hour at 10C. Hyper Hypo, dimwit. Typo, obvs. thermia kicks in when the core temp drops below 35ºC. Wrong wrong wrong. You die at 20C. Hypothermia is not the point at which die. That's death. Medically it is defined as below 35°C. The body is very sensitive to temperature changes. Just like 40°C is a 👎bad fever. Below 30ºC you're unlikely to be conscious. At 20ºC you're long dead (except in exceptional circumstances!). https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/hypothermia/ You're quoting th NHS? ROTFPMSL! It doesn't matter what I quote, the definition is the same. |

I just get spam from them from people I've never heard of wanting to engage in some kind of conversation about a business I'm not in. It is! :-) Here's the site of my protégé, a fellow of whom I'm enormously proud. https://www.linkedin.com/in/jonathan...orth-97498226/ You'll even find a 'Recommendation' from me there! ;-) I don't know how I ever got a linkedin account, but I constantly get messages from people wanting to "connect" with me whatever that means. So what's the purpose of this site? A bit like Facebook for business. And a glorified business card. Is it like a lonely hearts thing for businessmen? Yeah, kinda So no real purpose then. I'm quite sure a business finds customers without that ****. One principal purpose is for recruitment. Recruitment is traditionally done through newspapers, or their online equivalent. I've always looked for jobs in for example s1jobs.com It's for the opposite purpose. Employers looking for staff! Surely they should advertise through the usual channels? That is the usual channels, nowadays. I'm regularly contacted by recruiters. Are you employable? Professionally qualified? If so, in what field? Computer technician, although I've got a degree in Physics. Wow! My late son got a good Physics degree from Manchester University then worked for ICL as a computer whizz until his tragic death. Yip, Physics degrees are useless, no jobs available. I got my computer jobs solely based on my hobby of computers. My first job, I applied for an Electronics Technician. Somebody else got it, then 2 weeks later the boss phoned me and said he'd seen I played with computers a lot as a hobby (on my CV) and would I like a new post they'd just created. That lasted 6 years till I got fired for ****ing off the upper management. |
