And even more importantly, going into a dive to try to restart the engines and cover their asses instead of declaring an emergency and glider-landing at any of the six airports they still could have reached safely once they had regained control of the plane. E: also failing to follow the correct procedure to restart the engines, not that it mattered since they had throughly destroyed them on the way up. shame on an IGA fucked around with this message at 04:55 on Nov 4, 2017 |

Facebook Aunt posted:Not in cold weather though. Giant House Spiders are happy living outside all summer, but move back into houses in the fall. They also have the best name. I love these guys. They're so big you can HEAR them walking on your floor. They're also kinda bad at climbing so generally stick to the floor. They are very easy to catch and scoop up in a little box and since they're lovely climbers just a cup or anything with smooth sides will contain them. They move in predictable straight lines and will always move forward if you touch them or blow on them. Most importantly they're harmless but guard your home from actual dangerous spiders! They love getting them selves stuck in tubs, sinks, and shower stalls, because once again lovely climbers. I didn't know they were an introduced species in north america though. Oh well, they're keeping other invasive species at bay! Baronjutter fucked around with this message at 06:05 on Nov 4, 2017 |

We didn't have them where I grew up though. And then even when I moved to Victoria I lived on the second floor and never saw them, because lovely climbers. So when I finally moved to a ground floor townhouse I screamed like a little girl the first time I saw one. Oh gently caress! What the gently caress is that! My god look at the size of those fangs*! Aaaahhhhh!  Furious googling reassured me that it wasn't a wolf spider or hobo spider, and the giant fangs were actually pedipalps. Still a little unnerving to run into them at night. And they only come out late at night.

I honestly couldn't say whether I'd prefer huge spiders at my feet or above my head. Either way seeing a huntsman makes me want to die from the terror so nope nope nope nope nope

If you force your feet to point straight forward, the tightening of your posterior chain adds so much support that standing still becomes just like sitting on a stool made out of your own rear end. No exoskeleton neccessary.

No exoskeleton neccessary. not to mention you're now carrying around the exosuit as you walk and creating pressure points where the straps bear on you. reminds me of the apocryphal story of the russians using a pencil where the americans develop a hightech pen to write in microgravity.

Especially the part where the reason NASA specifically didn't want to use regular pencils was because getting graphite dust everywhere in microgravity sucks rear end, and grease pencils (which both NASA and the Soviet space program made extensive use of) were prone to smudging, so some random pen company guy invented the crazy high-tech space pen on his own dime and gave them to NASA for free?
