It makes me happy that people didn't/don't know these are real songs. Save yourselves do not click.

Hi Joe, 3 winters in Mac town here. Question for you on toastiness.

What are your thoughts on t-3 syndrome?

Do you think the NSF/prime contractor should provide mental health services for people coming off ice to help reacclimate

Serious question, how does one that does have a lot of unique experiences convey those to others without grand standing?

Unless you're reading my resume, or someone who I already know I'm not throwing this stuff out in casual conversation because so few people will have a similar frame of reference. I'd essentially be hijacking the conversation and turning it into a Q&A.

Person 1 "sure is cold today"

person 2 "yep"

Person 3 "reminds me of how cold it was when my helicopter crashed while heli skiing and then we were chased off the mountain by a yeti".

Person 3 is an asshole

We came out of dry dock for sea trials and were shooting water slugs(Firing the torpedo tubes without a weapon loaded). A torpedo tube has 3 parts the shutters which are just covers that maintain the ships profile/hydrodynamics, the outer doors and the inner door. Think space ship air lock. Well it would be a bad day for all involved if it were possible to open the torpedo tube inner and outer door at the same time. So to prevent this from happening there is a big steel shaft that rotates which prevents both doors opening simultaneously.
So after firing a water slug the torpedoman shuts the outer doors, drains the torpedo tube, and can then open the inner door to load a weapon. Well the TM keeps draining the tube and he can't get any indication that it is dry. He looks around and notices the torpedo room bilges are gushing water so he calls away flooding in the torpedo room. Crew responds realizes it isn't flooding and we drain the bilge and don't think much more about it. Figure the TM just fucked up draining the tube.
Nope. Remember that big steel shaft interlock that keeps the inner and outer door from opening at the same time? IT SHEARED There was nothing other than following procedure that kept the TM from opening the tube and exposing us to direct sea pressure. Even scarier is there is an indicator light that tells you if the outer door is open or shut. The indicator was located on the shaft not the door. So when it rotated and sheared it gave a false shut indication.
Edit: Closed to Shut bubbleheaads know why

I bet Nathan's would punch you in the face if you called them a sandwich
