SpacePig posted:So do they not have dedicated animal control in Florida, or is throwing a gator in the back of a pickup regular police procedure there? they do, i remember an episode of cops where some guy called the police to report a gator in his backyard. the cops called a gator man, who looked exactly what you would expect a guy who handles gators for a living to look like the gator man showed up, assessed the situation, then got a long harness on a pole from his truck. the idea is to put it around the gator's neck so he could drag it from the backyard to an open area where it could be more easily restrained. one of the cops on the scene was utterly fascinated like a child and wanted to help the gator man. the gator man, again, being a sunburned gent from florida who handles gators for a living, could clearly barely tolerate the presence of the police. so there was a fun dynamic between this seething redneck trying to hog tie a gator and this panting grinning cop being all "wow! look at that! wow!" i'd bet one of those cops has removed enough gators from people's yards to know how to handle one and just deal with it by tying it up and throwing it in a truck. or on second look, the guy who gets KOd is the gator man in a cop looking uniform and the two cops are just helping him lift

I'm assuming in some cases they will have to do new surveys to even see where property lines were. But what then? Just build on top of it? I'm assuming the foundation would be rather expensive but I don't know what fresh lava rock can support, I assume there's various types and densities. The answer is, volcano insurance pays out and now they own a couple acres of lava rock. Or you skipped the volcano insurance and now you own a couple acres of lava rock. There's no going back, there's no rebuilding, you just have to take a loss and rebuild your life somewhere else. Because even if you were mad enough to try, no one is going to rebuild roads and utilities out to a couple acres of lava rock.

Those sunglasses on his head go flying. Does that mean he's dead, or is it only shoes that count?

SpacePig posted:So do they not have dedicated animal control in Florida, or is throwing a gator in the back of a pickup regular police procedure there? It depends on the county. Some like West Palm Beach just go ahead and crosstrain some of their cops for animal control stuff and they get sent out on the 'gator calls. My uncle is one of those cops, it was real useful for us the day my grandma had a rattlesnake right inside her front door. I grew up a bit further south and my county had it's own animal control department that would also subcontract out weirder things like a bigass gator to specialty companies (rednecks.) The last time I watched broadcast TV I found out that I grew up down the street from the house of one of the "Gator Boys."

Turns out the gator guy was straight up agitating the gator before the gif started: https://twitter.com/nbc4i/status/1004708661690798080 This is righteous vengeance, if you ask me.

The guy that gets knocked out is not actually a cop, he's a private trapper they called and they usually hang around and help until it's under control.

Trabant posted:Turns out the gator guy was straight up agitating the gator before the gif started: Part of it is him winding the thing up, but the other part is he just tosses the gator in. He would have been better served climbing on the truck or at least walking alongside the truck and letting go, because well, there's a truck bed wall there for cover.

I'm assuming the foundation would be rather expensive but I don't know what fresh lava rock can support, I assume there's various types and densities. Fresh lava rock can support basically nothing. You can't walk over it because it could crumble away at any moment. Also, it's jagged ʻAʻā and can destroy shoes and car tyres in the space of minutes. rndmnmbr posted:you just have to take a loss and rebuild your life somewhere else Yup. Give it a 20 or 30 thousand years and it will weather down to some very fertile volcanic soils though!

It's about embracing the storm, and embracing that God is STILL the same loving God. Praying a storm away should never be your goal... In the eye of the storm, when everything seems hopeless... Is where Jesus stands WITH you. This is beautiful. "Christfags" as someone put it... It's not about thinking God is gonna see people singing make the storm go away. It's about refusing to turn our backs on him and letting him know he is STILL loved and praised by his people.

Mistle posted:Any way to artificially speed up the weathering process? Or is it a matter of environmental biology just as much as geological weathering? I honestly don't even know where you'd start to try and speed it up. It's a combination of chemical and mechanical weathering (oxidation of minerals + wind/rain to pick them apart as they become friable) that just takes time. Maybe you could dump a bunch of acid on it to kickstart the chemical side of it, but that seems like it might come with a host of its own problems.
