Imagine being stuck at the bottom of the deep blue sea and the first thing you'll gaze upon after the hatch opens is the almighty GabeN.

"Oh, you're finally awake"

I took a look at the Wikipedia page for this submarine, and wow. It made 4 of the 7 manned visits to Challenger Deep, the deepest point on Earth. It visited the deepest point in all 5 oceans. It's not just any submarine, this is the submarine.

God what timeline am I in lol

A bit of trivia for folks, GabeN's sub is named after a ship called the Limiting Factor from Iain M. Bank's absolutely wonderful book, The Player of Games. All of the subs that Triton Submersibles make are named after ships in the Culture series of books. I'd highly recommend checking them out, although don't start with Consider Phlebas, I consider The Player of Games to be a better entry point into the series.

Off topic, but I figured I'd share anyways.

EDIT: the SpaceX landing barges are also named after Culture ships.

Ha wow this is nuts.

A billionaire fucked around showing off and found out. One less billionaire bent on acquisition and greed at humanity's expense. So sad...

How many homeless could we house/treat/feed for the cost of rescuing this billionaire and his cadre who didn't risk their lives for scientific data or anything noble, but for wasteful luxury tourism? Why take interest when one of the world's oppressors takes his own life while ignoring the innumerable victims of the world's oligarch class who didn't capitalism well enough and got thrown away like garbage?

The question is, which controller he uses to drive it?
