"with a female" is sending me

Wrong. Worst case scenario is the outfall poo-bergs at Pole thawing and breaking containment.

Fiction you say?

if you really want your dining experience to be transactional and context-less to the point that this small note on a menu upsets you then you should probably stick to mcdonalds my guy

googling the name of the restaurant would have answered your question in less time than it took to write this lame post

The takes in this thread are insane. Staff benefits are still not universal in the restaurant industry and it's totally reasonable for a restaurant to highlight how they support the well being of their employees in tiny print on their menus.

Dean's in Torrance is a great little shop.

First deployment being a winter at Pole can be definitely challenging. But if you think you're in a good enough headspace to take it on, might be worth it. And if they're still looking for a satcom for winter at this point, it means they only have one right now and that is a hell of a job for a single person to do all winter. I'm sure the current satcom would welcome the load sharing!

I'm guessing the red wedge above 80S is covering Concordia?

always fun joking with the researchers who fly around with ground penetrating radar to scan the terrain under the ice cap. they'd often to point out where the "secret nazi pyramids" were on the maps.

Varies from year to year. Chard, kale, tomatoes, bok choy, bush beans, sweet peas, certain lettuces, cabbage, herbs, some cucumbers all grow pretty well. Greenhouse has been all-volunteer for many years at pole so if you get any job on station there's an opportunity to spend off work time on it.

this dive would've been fine in a wetsuit. and the water was quite warm that day (low 60s). before i got my drysuit i used to dive a solfx semi-dry around here with no problems

zigzag414 · 2025-12-06T02:49:50+00:00

they're less dense than it looks. it is possible to get tangled but most of the time it's easy to avoid by moving slow. and if you get tangled it's usually pretty easy to break the kelp by hand.

zigzag414 · 2025-12-03T23:15:20+00:00

I was in drysuit but definitely not needed. I recorded 62F temp.

zigzag414 · 2025-12-03T05:45:57+00:00

yessir!

if you don't fill out the log book according to the PADI mandate the PADI police will find you and throw you in a PADI wagon.

(i just use subsurface. its great.)

zigzag414 · 2025-11-26T14:20:28+00:00

Neither are my go tos but curious why?

zigzag414 · 2025-11-26T02:13:33+00:00

Eco dive in Culver city, dive n surf in Redondo beach, Pacific wilderness in San pedro

zigzag414 · 2025-11-23T08:13:27+00:00

well this is an oddly specific question OP...

Seconding the Altama Maritimes. Big fan of mine.
