Armorless undersea cable, start to finish.
Fiber optic cable gets wrapped in steel wire on spools, then gets a copper sleeving welded over it in the second shot.
Then the copper coated spools go to extrusion line, gets a polymer coating, then cooled in water trays that run forever. You can see the finished product overhead.
Goes into huge creels underneath, then the ends are tested here.
Then down the elevated high line a thousand feet to the harbor to be loaded onto a ship.
About 800 miles of undersea cable on that load, light duty stuff. Most the armorless cable has multiple layers of protection, armored cable is usually coated again with steel and tar.

That is VERY impressive.

Saw some A-10's lined up for takeoff, fearsome planes. That last one is going to jetblast me in a second.
I heard them first, then saw 4 Warthogs taxiing thru the trees, forgot there was an airport there!
Usually, they are preparing to cross the Atlantic, probably Nat. Guard deploying to Europe for the summer.

Better to get them under control before it gets bad, if they aren't flowering Neem and insecticidal soap will kill them.

Ive been going back and forth between spraying soap one day and dilouted alcohol and water the next.. something about alcohol fucks up their reproduction or something..

They are bastards....when my plants were in veg phase I knocked the shit out of them real quick with a sprayer using a diatomaceous earth slurry.
