Kibayasu posted:Don't feel too bad because I believe that most spiders that you can find inside your house are pretty likely to die anyways if you move them outside. I once saw a spider that seemed dead in my lounge room while vacuuming, It wasn't moving and looked like ants were having a feast on it. I laughed 'you fucker! I won this war of attrition', and gave it a nudge. The small things were not ants, they were the loving hundreds of babies which spread everywhere across the floor. That vacuum took many lives and was duct taped closed and thrown under the house for quite a while.

Years ago a girlfriend had a Christmas wreath of real pine boughs that she kept up into the second week of January or so. Apparently that was long enough for the thousands of praying mantis eggs in it to hatch. It was extremely freaky to notice the walls look like they were moving, but see upon close inspection that it was innumerable white baby praying mantises. I had to vacuum them up while she cried in the bathroom over the mass murder of cool baby bugs.

I would probably have lit the house on fire. Last time I went home, my mom blurted out, "I think I know why you're arachnophobic. My sister told me our mother used to make you clean the leaves out of the crawlspace under the deck in the summer." "Yes, she did. That did happen. I thought I blocked it from memory, but thanks for loving reminding me." "Your grandmother was a horrible person." "Everyone knows this, Mom."

You should have just left them there to grow into full-size praying mantises cause imagine how loving awesome that would be

Catpain Slack posted:Continuing the snake-chat from last page, there's a longer version of that snake handler gif in video form that shows the boxes being held in place by lockable bars. I recommend watching it, it's awesome! That dude has some serious brass balls. That setup really trains the cobras to just start biting at poo poo the moment the container is opened. The lab I worked at one term had the snakes on a schedule, where we took out a few each week from their living area to a feeding container to eat, then put them back.

Look at all these tough guys can't handle a few buggos. Sadly, predatory insects are the best defense against the true enemy - parasites: For example, Triatomine, bringers of Chagas Disease, now a growing threat across most of the United States.

Ruflux posted:I actually kinda doubt it, because I see the exact same spiders outside and inside. They like to create webs on the porch and a fair amount of them live right nearby there. I usually dump any that I take outside on the railing, and they scamper off somewhere from there. Cellar spiders (long thin legs, primary cobweb culprit) evolved to live in houses and don't do well outdoors. General rule of thumb is that if they aren't yellow/white then they're probably fine outside. Indoor spiders don't need the pigment that outdoor spiders have.

Hmmm, so what you're saying is if a senile old man can fly whatever plane he wants without training or rating and what kills him is reading the wrong airport designation, I'll have no problem because I know how to use a handheld GPS.

Yeah but consider this: I live in Finland. The spiders I get are tiny as all hell and there is absolutely no visual or other distinction between the ones living outside and the ones inside. Long-legged ones do exist, but they're pretty rare and I've never dealt with one. As far as colors go, they're all dark shades. Never seen a brightly colored one in my life.

https://youtu.be/hfnEuRA7-vo After the accident they closed up the starter cubicle (it was damaged but it looked like it hadn’t damaged the 2400V bus) and put a memorial marker on the door to that compartment.  At about 3:51 they talked about him throwing the disconnect switch lever to open the cubicle and then once the cubicle is open throwing the switch again to re-energize the cubicle. Those kinds of door safety interlocks are common on stuff that’s from 208V to 600V, and on some systems for troubleshooting you do need to reapply power. I’ve also seen disconnect switches with a bypass - the power switch needs to be open to open the cabinet doors UNLESS you take a flat-head screwdriver and turn the bypass screw on the side of the switch. That allows you to open up the main door without killing power. Three-Phase fucked around with this message at 03:07 on Nov 4, 2017 |

shame on an IGA posted:Pinnacle 3701 Reading this stuff is so wierd because they don't use words or terms that say "they shouldn't be doing this" For all I know, testing the limits of an empty plane is standard procedure? It's just funny when reading this and realizing "hey wait, the 410 club sounds dumb" quote:The two pilots were exploring the performance limits of the empty CRJ-200 on the flight. The pilots decided to test the limits of the CRJ and join the "410 club", referring to pilots who pushed CRJs to their maximal approved altitude of flight level 410 (FL410; 41,000 feet (12,000 m)).
