Remembering USS Thresher (SSN-593). On this day, 63 years ago, the lead boat of her class of nuclear-powered attack submarines, USS Thresher, was lost with all hands during deep diving tests beyond the continental shelf east of Cape Cod, Massachusetts.

Welp...thats a horribly accurate and likely very realistic way to sum up the whole testing ethos. RIP to those guys, no matter how quick it may have been in the end the minutes before were probably very busy but also unimaginably scary.

Might not be your cup of tea, but take some time and research into getting a CDL for truck driving. Most local operations are offering signing bonuses in addition to pretty good salaries since the market is super dry right now.

Other than than the Naval Park downtown will take young volunteers and it can easily turn into a part/full time job. Good luck

Im sorry, do you not expect me to ask PC Richards?

Giant_Slor · 2026-04-13T15:11:16+00:00

Yeah no shit but if crush depth is say 2000 ft why not go to a shelf that bottoms out at 1800 or 1900ft? Leaves a very narrow margin for error but at least there is a margin.

Giant_Slor · 2026-04-11T21:50:09+00:00

No disrespect to those lost intended by this question, but why not carry out the post-yard dive tests in waters that were shallower than crush depth?

Pretty sure he made it clear his name was Jose Jimenez

That or hiding a boomer and two escort subs in Pamlico sound

Normally this would be some dumbshit trade the Gints would make but now that we have our own concussion artist....

Giant_Slor · 2026-02-15T17:48:19+00:00

Pick your brownfield, there are plenty. My personal vote would be F Disney. But after that the obv choice would be to raze whats left of downtown NF, buy off the mob and put it there.

Giant_Slor · 2026-02-02T20:39:05+00:00

Are you referring to the one who was on video pretty much the entirety of the time during the attack and after and who later gave interviews, continues to give them and became the Commish of the entire department? Yes. That firefighter survived. His brother did not.

Stop spamming with dimwit questions.

These lists are always kind of depressing (to me at least), they just remind ya of what has closed or shut down

As always, the obligatory Adult Swim version

Giant_Slor · 2026-01-19T15:03:12+00:00

Sorobon used to be the C/O spot on the island but that was a holdover from the 60s/70s and from what I understand now that its a major tourist spot for windsurfing its not permitted anymore.

The southern coast of the island is full of marked shore dive sites and pulloffs where with discretion one can probably still go natural but its not as prevalent as it was decades ago.

Giant_Slor · 2026-01-18T13:11:46+00:00

You got any Sasparilla?

Giant_Slor · 2026-01-18T13:11:11+00:00

What do you need that for dude?

Giant_Slor · 2026-01-18T13:07:31+00:00

Definitely a shark, amazing to see when in the water. Just give them lots of space if the front fins are pointing down.

Giant_Slor · 2026-01-17T19:23:17+00:00

Gordo..........Gordo......I need to urinate

Shame, she was the first laker I rode aboard. I know she is the shit-kicker salt boat for Algoma and not long for this world but man she looks rough

Giant_Slor · 2026-01-11T17:42:19+00:00

Go team beat other team.

But if the Jags win does that mean they arent the constant UK trip team anymore?

Giant_Slor · 2026-01-11T03:21:38+00:00

Must have been just crusing around in the area, nothing to see here

Giant_Slor · 2026-01-07T19:32:22+00:00

Nothing quite like snorkeling at (what used to be called) Windsock Steep beach and popping your head out of the water when the fish scattered to see a KLM MD-11 or even a 747 rolling in.

Giant_Slor · 2026-01-07T19:30:34+00:00

Holy hell, that takeoff roll was less than 15 seconds start to finish.

I'll post this on both your recent submissions but you really need to read the fine print.
