They're a little weird up there. 'eh!

( I lied, It's Minnesota )

There’s a book about sportfishing around rigs in the gulf. It was on my reading list long ago and I never got around to it but it claimed they caught large things which have never been seen before. I vaguely remember some of them diving near rigs to get a closer look and said it was one of the most dangerous thing they ever did.

Edit: I remembered it differently but the book is called the helldiver’s rodeo about oil rig spearfishing in the Gulf of Mexico:

The Helldivers' Rodeo: A Deadly, Extreme, Scuba-Diving, Spear Fishing Adventure Amid the Offshore Oil-Platforms in the Murky Waters of the Gulf of Mexico https://www.amazon.com/dp/1590770056/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_8HoDAbNP2HMKY

It's not muscle, it's fat. They use these two fat pads for stability since they lack dorsal fins. They can extend and contract them.

There's a fantastic book written by a man who spent 76 days at sea. He floated in a raft, purifying water and eating what little fish he could catch.

At night, he couldn't see or hear the sharks. But he knew they were there from the hard bumps they'd give the raft.

No motor. No communication to anyone. Just endless black sea and sky, while sharks kept him up at night.

I don't doubt. I am intrigued. I know Orca's are extremely intelligent. You should read the Dynamic Human by Maciej Henneberg. It deals with intelligence of animals compared with humans also. TY for the link bro.

Brine is mostly composed of salts that are leaking out of sediment at the sea floor. In conjunction with deep sea temperature & it’s extreme salinity the brine puddles at the bottom creating the creepy salt lake effect/halocline

It's a great game, very atmospheric and in line with what this sub usually posts. The other planet thing means there is no Earth fauna but there are shark like creatures and other crazy looking underwater life.

For 1, you are being obnoixuoulsy literal if you think that a river named Rio Negro has to be black. If you clicked on link to Rio Negros wikipedia page, it would show a handful of pictures where the water isn't black. Would you also assume that the red river in the Southern US runs red? It doesn't. It's just a name.

And 2, it isn't really that close to a 360 degree view. It was definitely less than 3/4, watch it again. We see very little off of the right side of the boat. I'm fairly certain that if our cameraman had planned over the right side, we would have seen the banks. It makes the shot look cooler if they don't show that though.

Those puppies are expensive but worth it considering the insurance value.

"Know your enemy and know yourself, find naught in fear for 100 battles. Know yourself but not your enemy, find level of loss and victory. Know thy enemy but not yourself, wallow in defeat every time." ~Sun Tsu, "The Art of War" (c. 6th century BCE)

Edit: Sun Tsu and what not, I still am scared to death of what lies below the surface, as beautiful as it is.

So just Tidewalker then...

Check with a doctor and see if you can use these. For sure they do work on not letting water in. You can also clear water out from those bits covering your ear by exhaling from the nose. It's a bit scuba diving related.

FUN FACT: Sebastian Junger once came home to see his mom, and was flipping through some old photos she'd left out on the kitchen table. He froze when he came to a picture of his mom holding him as a baby, in their home, with an old man standing behind her... and Albert DeSalvo standing next to the old man.

Apparently, his mother hired the Boston Strangler to build an artist's studio in their backyard. Junger's mom even recalled a tale of DeSalvo showing up one day without the old man, and trying to lure her into the basement. Creepy. It's all in his book, <em>A Death in Belmont</em>.

There is an amazing graffiti writer in my area that the last pic closely resembles. This flickr page shows just a fraction of his work.

Gatorophobia. The water looks nice. I learned from wordpress.com that, "Herpetophobia is the fear of reptiles, and it is also commonly associated with ophidiophobia, the fear of snakes."

Then your computer will be phoning home to Microsoft.

Although apparently the best way is to block it at your router, as MS simply reset the settings for you when you update.

I love https://www.amazon.com/Natural-Selection-Dave-Freedman/dp/1401302092 -- great book. It's about a manta ray with a mutation that allows it to not just fly through the water anymore, it can now flap its wings and fly through the air.

I love all of this history. One of these days I am going to finish A People's Tragedy: The Russian Revolution: 1891-1924. It's very detailed and kind of a hard read but goddamn is it interesting AF. The Russian people went through some shit!

You can get a pretty wide collection of his best stories for $18 on Amazon. I actually found this exact book on sale at Half-Price-Books for like $8.

It's also got a gorgeous hardcover, highly suggest picking it up if possible.

I'm currently reading a very interesting book about George Back, one of Franklin's top officers during his two previous overland expeditions to find the northwest passage (book is called The Man Who Mapped the Arctic. The book goes to great lengths to show how Franklin was a) very bad at pre-planning (his first, two year long expedition was going to mainly rely on smoked bacon brought with them from England but it went moldy two weeks in), and b) as you mentioned, really refused to have his men learn to hunt, but rather dogmatically relied on first nation hunters doing it for him. As in, ya that band of people 100km away from us that we have never met will for sure give us a winter's worth of food from their own stores.

It is just amazing and so depressing to see how he failed to learn from these two expeditions (most of his crew starved to death on the first trip) and repeated so many of the same mistakes on this final journey.

Yup! The company I'm currently working for sells drones and recently got loads of underwater drones. They're really cool TBH, I would rather the drone than me lol!

Link for the interested: Amazon

It's the cover to a book that I love called Shadows Beneath. There is a short story inside called Sixth of the Dusk by Brandon Sanderson that is a very unique piece of Fantasy SFW Sauce

Maybe. It could be that the artist I linked stole the artwork, or made it years ago and only uploaded it for the competition.

Or maybe there was a very similar artwork which both of you saw and which inspired her to make this picture.

I just recognised the artwork and the artist and wanted give people the information.

EDIT: Just looked through the comments on the artwork and somebody mentioned it beeing used as the cover for this book. Is that by any chance your book?

Not 100% sure, but the remote for the one in the gif is exactly the same as the one for this:

This was a really good book by the way!

It's called Shadows Beneath. And it's a short story anthology written for writers because it includes the first drafts and planning stages.

It doesn't have anything to do with deep sea monsters.

No, no, no, no, no. Just like The Da Vinci Code ripped off Holy Blood, Holy Grail, Simmons stole from The Franklin Conspiracy.

THIS is the book you have to read.

A large number fall into the ocean each year. Generally, they go unreported unless large numbers (like 50+) fall off an individual ship.

One book that goes into some details of this is Moby Duck.

When I was like 12 my friend and I watched Jaws beginning to end for the first time. Then we went to the beach immediately afterwards. WHY
On an interesting note, one of the dudes killed in the real attacks that inspired the movie lived near me. I think about it when I walk by his house. Source http://www.amazon.com/Close-Shore-Terrifying-Shark-Attacks/dp/0767904141 Great book, very informative

This is interesting, to say the least. It oddly sounds satisfying. Oh and try Kava Kava root for insomnia.
