A whole bunch of computer scientists on the next level of the simulation are running around the room sized computer pulling their hair out because it's their rear end on the line if this thing goes bsod

Pfft, like we should be that lucky. We're probably just a forgotten demo unit that still happens to be running.

no, missing pistols are formed by the heat and pressure of two colliding helicopters, obviously

I dont know why twitter insists on embedding the parent tweet

I used to bum around 3liza's house watching MTV Liquid Television and old marx bros cartoons when we were Moody Teens, she rules and we are lucky to have such a historian to document grover's crimes for internet posterity

Robert is kind of an idiot and by all reports also a creeper. I haven't met most of them.

I love diving.

The coldest dive I've ever done was Silfrá fissure in Iceland:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silfra

They say "can be comfortably dived in a dry suit" by I say my rear end like hell, any human being gets an instant ice cream headache when they put their face in 36 degree water.

That said, totally worth it.

The coolest dive I've ever done: There are a few dive operators that offer "blackwater" dives where you go at night and dive in 5-10,000 foot deep water. Everyone is clipped to a series of lines hanging off the sides of the boat with a carabiner hooked to your BCD, so you're not about to get lost or anything unless you do something real dumb.

I've done it twice, and both times I spent the first couple of minutes sucking down half my air as I stared into the black infinity that surrounds our tiny lights and our little boat and try to get a grip on myself before I relax and find it mindblowingly cool. Though if you stare out into that black water too much you can feel the willies start billowing up again as your brain tries to find patterns in emptiness. The water and the stuff suspended in it absorbs what precious illumination you have, so you really get the impression that blackness is just sucking the light away. You feel very, very tiny, and you never know whether something at the very limits of your light's reach is a bit of trash, more plankton, a school of squid or pod of bottlenose dolphin, or something hungry.

Apparently t's not uncommon for big pelagics to get curious. They have even had threshers show up and start to behave aggressively, and everyone gets out of the water real drat quick when that happens. I've never been lucky/unlucky enough to have anything big come visit, but it's quite an experience without seeing any large animal life. Plus the plankton you see is sometimes quite large and truly surreal, alien stuff. The most defining aspect of it to me though is how vividly you can feel you mind looking for patterns in all that emptiness, and imagining monsters in every pale curdle in the dark.

11/10 I loving love cosmic horror, I'll do it a third time when I make it back to Kona.

This is like his third Halloween, how has he not learned how to do this yet?

He only knows how to take candy from babies.
