From the user manual on that page: > Maintain proper footing and balance at all times. Is this not supposed to be used in deep water? Or am I just swimming wrong?
I gave up chainsawing the day I accidentally sawed through my boots. Just that morning I had put on a pair of steel toecap boots for the first time. Saved my toes.

I feel like we need an Apple-themed Godwin's Law - namely that no HN thread is complete without someone somehow managing to bring up Apple and how evil and undervalued they are.
The irony is that high-end Macs have been widely laughed at by people who don't have a use for them...while various creative and scientific sectors gladly pay that expense because unlike the commenters they're actually using them to make money; for example, the G5 and first-gen Mac Pro had enormous memory bandwidth that made them ideal for a lot of scientific data processing, medical imagery, running instruments, etc.

This is the most strained connection employed to engage in Apple-bashing that I've seen in quite some time.

Also, gently, note:

The Xcode thing is often an in-joke with iOS developers.

You think Apple is expensive? Licenses for Dassault Catia start at $12,000.

I've been here 13 years and am not aware of this pattern. Also, gently, note: > Not singling out Apple, I’m sure all are comparably bad, it’s just what I happen to use :) The Xcode thing is often an in-joke with iOS developers.
Amazing, I actually saw one of these today at a flea market. I noticed it was hydraulic powered but didn't suspect it was for use under water.
I suspect a gasoline-powered chainsaw wouldn't work underwater... which made me wonder if maybe that does exist because you could feed it O2 from a supply tank just like the fuel, maybe even from the diver's own air tank?
Now I want to know how bouyant battery-packs are and if an impractically-heavy battery-powered chainsaw work well underwater?
