there's a good amount of separation between LLNL and the parachute zones at Byron and Tracy. each tick mark on the grid in the center of the image is about a mile. restricted area R-2531 is also part of LLNL -- it's the site where they test explosives. it's not especially secret (mythbusters blew up their cement truck there, among other things) but they don't want a plane flying over to get damaged by shrapnel. you can fly through it on the weekends though

Or when he went diving and happened to find some ancient pottery I'm wondering what kind of safety OSHA precautions they have to take whenever he does something like this. Did he do SCUBA certification before that?

mobby_6kl posted:I'm wondering what kind of safety OSHA precautions they have to take whenever he does something like this. Did he do SCUBA certification before that? There’s no particular reason he would be certified. It’s a practical requirement for ordinary people for reasons of insurance and logistics (i.e. no one will do business with you if you don’t have documentation), but he’s a head of state. They might have familiarised him with the equipment and had a short session in the pool to confirm he’s comfortable and knows which way is up. Then just surround him with frogmen and throw him in the water. If he “found” the vase, the bottom is by definition not too deep to dive there, which limits the trouble he can get into. If water clarity is good and there aren’t strong currents, what’s the worst that could happen? Ukrainian attack dolphins? e: The real worst‐case scenario is lung overpressure if he held his breath while ascending. Drill him on not doing that.

It's a multilanguage warning and inflammable is the word in Spanish and French, but inflammable still means will catch on fire in English too. It's not preferred because people see the N and their brain short-circuits to nonflammable but you can still be insufferably correct calling things catching on fire inflammable.

There was a minor outcry when it happened, as if I remember correctly, the vases were obviously from a site a couple of miles away and he'd 'found' them in the diving equivalent of the parking lot which had been picked clean ages ago. They then 'clarified' that the vases had just been found in that other location and he was 'helping' them by surfacing with them in the camera-friendly kiddly pool. which always made me wonder: is he in on the fakery, or do his handlers set it all up to make him feel like a hero and he believes it to be true?

There’s an intro course that PADI does (discover scuba diving/DSD) where you can go down to ~40ft with an instructor without any prior training, after a short safety and skills brief. I couldn’t take as many people or take them as deep when I was a divemaster, but it’s definitely a thing. I got caught in a rip current with 2 teenage students doing a DSD one day and we managed to break out of it a few hundred yards from shore. I was waving a marker buoy at the lifeguards back on shore, but they just looked at it and thought “I wonder what he wants?  ” One of my actual coworkers eventually saw it and tore down the beach into the water to give me a hand, but he got to us when I was almost back already. I haven’t been that exhausted in a long time, thankfully it was only a shallow dive ( < 20ft) otherwise the depth + exertion afterwards would’ve been a risk factor for decompression illness. ...like the rescue I pulled in Bonaire where someone had a panic attack at 85ft down and I got to surface her, and drag her back to shore against the current  Near as I can tell, OSHA defers to training agencies for the underwater part of dive training (on the recreational side)...and after having worked at a few shops, they don’t visit those very often either

My first real dive after open water training was at site where the bottom is seventy metres down. It was just black beneath me. Very cool but more than a little unnerving. My buoyancy control was on point. Two dives after that was a night dive with a strong current. It didn’t kill me, but would I let my kid do it at fourteen? Certainly not without a better dive buddy.

Probably a wet sprinkler main, which they left flooded to help with dust suppression. I'm just guessing, I do buildings but not ones that are in the process of imploding.
