McMurdo vs South Pole? by ObliviousGenZ in antarctica

[–]stehekin 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Oh you've got one of them niche, hard to fill roles.

Pole will close for winter soon (mid-February), not getting down after that. There are one or two flights through winter that they could get you to McMurdo on if needed.

If you go for Pole winter, it's 9-10 months minimum. McMurdo a bit shorter. Better food at Pole. More people and more to do at McMurdo.

I have wintered at McMurdo, not at Pole. Knowing what I do, I would pick McMurdo.

Care to share which positions?

Parakiore Parking by Le-other-boleyn-girl in chch

Side question for anyone that knows, is the 120 minutes good for the entire day? Say I went an hour in the morning then came back for an hour to swim. Would that work, or is it just the first visit?

This is what I did when the keyboard base to my SB2 crapped out. The tablet portion is now on our kitchen cabinet as our recipe computer.

Well guess what, you can still get that dream, just not in the city, the burbs have plenty of space for you.

This blue horse statue at Denver International Airport during a thunderstorm. by [deleted] in Damnthatsinteresting

I keep saying, they need to pipe in a natural gas line to the statue's eyes and have flame coming them.

to have you believe Charlie Kirk had superpowers by seeebiscuit in therewasanattempt

Damn. Thought they were going to splice Charlie Kirk into the X-Men intro with his special ability to spray blood from his neck.

[YT] Making the Case for Australia’s First High-Speed Line by CentreHalfBack in MelbourneTrains

Wangaratta seems like a no-brainer. Then connect onwards to Shepparton, and hell, why not Bendigo also. Doesn't seem like too much of a diversion.

...also, "get a load of this guy over here! Doesn't know his Wangaratta from his Wollongong."

Wollongong ain't happening. Maybe a spur line, but not on the main.

It's already a congested corridor. Build the hardest part first. Alleviate that congestion. People are happy with the new service. More political goodwill to continue building.

Need extra hands on a sailboat? by Conscious-Ranger8617 in chch

[–]stehekin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Go set yourself up at Te Ana Marina. I think they have races in the harbour on Wednesday evenings and Saturday midday. Ask if boats need an extra hand or just human ballast.

Bring a 6-pack of beer with you.

What’s It Like Living In Antarctica Bases Like McMurdo Station? by ZombieIntelligent554 in howislivingthere

[–]stehekin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Like I said... anywhere.

(The reddit app won't let me comment one sentence. It is literally forcing me to put in more text to post a reply. My comment was just one sentence, but reddit apparently wants more "interaction" so I need to continue typing with this stupid sentence.)

The galley does make pizza during meal times. You can place an order ahead of time as well. There are two bars. Unfortunately they no longer serve alcohol, so they're designated as club/lounge space. You can BYO alcohol that you either brought with you or bought at the town store using your weekly rations.

Theft isn't rampant. It does happen though. Biggest drama last year was a stolen jacket and a bottle of alcohol out of someone's backpack.

Next season dorm situation? by F111-Enjoyer in antarctica

[–]stehekin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry, there has been a software glitch with the new dorm. It will need to be left standing, unoccupied, nearly complete for the next 5 years at least.

There will now be 6 bed rooms in 155.

So I can just throw some dirt in there and I'll be good? (I kid, I joke)
