inFinally got my umbilical twist figured out after 3 dives in a row getting tangled
Have you thought about whether adding more swivels is just creating more failure points? I mean, maybe it's just me, but I've seen guys run one swivel and they still get tangled because they're not paying attention to how they move around structure. Adding a second swivel means you've got another thing that can jam up with sand or salt, and when that happens you're worse off than before. I've watched divers with simple setups just take a second to plan their route around a piling instead of spinning freely and it works fine for them. Plus, that extra hardware hanging off your harness can snag on nets or lines you didn't see.

inWatched The Room with friends last Saturday and my girlfriend walked out after 20 minutes saying it was unwatchable
You ever try throwing on something super low stakes like Troll 2 or Birdemic instead? I found that easing people into the whole "bad movie night" thing works way better than starting with the big ones like The Room. The Room is kind of an acquired taste (took me three tries to get through it honestly). Maybe let her pick the next one and just laugh at whatever happens, don't try to explain why it's "good" just let it happen naturally.

That "built-in GPS for your backside" is such a perfect way to put it - do you think the designers even ride these things?
