Rattle snakes are basically house cats, just don't step on them or pet them and if you're coming close there's a 50% chance they're gonna threat display to make you leave cause they don't want to deal with your poo poo. There's a reason the whole joke is you step on one and die. Cobras and ocean snakes are dicks.

PainterofCrap posted:Phone cameras are amazing. Such a close-up from 100’ away. When I was working in the mountains I used to come upon diamondbacks and you can get pretty close to them, even if they're rattling, before they get ready to strike. I've seen dudes working for the state on the trails we were working along make them get ready to strike so another one can just grab it by the head and carry it down the hill to a place where nobody is working. They're honestly pretty docile for wild animals, now mountain lions

Also try not to get chased into a pit full of them by a horny satyr (the OG goatman) (happens all the time) edit: realizing that "horny satyr" is redundant at least twice over Turpitude fucked around with this message at 20:58 on Sep 4, 2023 |

I have to say, production values for Dune part 2 seem to have degraded a bit.

Sharing a tiny ledge with a rattlesnake while climbing was one of the scarier things I've done but he was content to chill on one side of it and left us alone. Couldn't safely downclimb and was out of rope so set up a quick anchor and had my partner climb up like ten meters and then he was able to anchor off and belay me up to a ledge higher up.

Bay Bridge Tunnel Project Halted By Antique Anchor Discoveryquote:The Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel’s (CBBT) Thimble Shoal Tunnel project literally dug up a delay this month. The massive tunneling machine, known as Chessie, ran into a large antique ship’s anchor at the bottom of the Chesapeake Bay. This has put a stop to the tunneling entirely.

Platystemon posted:Bay Bridge Tunnel Project Halted By Antique Anchor Discovery Not terribly surprising, the Chesapeake channels they're bridge-tunneling have been well travelled for centuries and the usual archaeological survey methods don't work well in this context. Very neat though, pity they left anchors lying around in the middle of a busy shipping lane 100 years ago!

How is a mere hundred-odd year old anchor buried so deep that a tunnel boring machine can hit it? I would think a tunnel for vehicles would be way deeper than "anchor that fell into the mud on the bottom" is going to sink.

I would think a tunnel for vehicles would be way deeper than "anchor that fell into the mud on the bottom" is going to sink. They mentioned trying to free the Missouri in 1950 using a poo poo-ton of anchors to try to hold that mass against the tide until it could float again. No doubt it dragged a number of anchors, and when you design a tool to bury itself deeper & deeper the further you drag it, your depth is only limited to the size of the mass/force and the amount of chain available. Since they found it buried, means it parted the chain. That it was snagged under rocks means it had quite a journey.

I imagine it's just shaking down in there every time there's an earthquake which in California I hear is rare. Also there's a lot of soil being washed into the bay from the entire valley. I am not a geologist.

It's the Chesapeake, not San Francisco Bay, so many fewer earthquakes, but there is a shitload of sediment being constantly dumped into that spot (right at the mouth of the bay, between Cape Henry and Cape Charles) from an enormous swathe of the East Coast. The ancient Susquehanna valley is huge and the Army Corps does a great deal of dredging to keep those channels open.

It would, I guess, be a shame if they DID mulch something that could be firmly connected with a famous naval event

That whole battleship grounding fiasco is a pretty osha tale itself. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1950_USS_Missouri_grounding Multiple people telling the captain "turn right there's a sandbar right there" for a full seven minutes before performing the world's first nautical 50:50 grind on the clearly visible sandbar. Shot: quote:Missouri had traversed the shoal nearly 2,500 feet, and to compound her problem she had run aground during an unusually high tide. Chaser: quote:She had come to rest on an almost even keel on the sandbar within plain sight of "Admirals Row", the historic homes along Dillingham Boulevard at Naval Station Norfolk occupied by 18 flag officers of the United States Navy stationed at Hampton Roads, and the homes of a similar number of high-ranking officers of the United States Army stationed at Fort Monroe. Also,  yeah ok I can see those top anchors digging down to bedrock while they're doing whatever this is
