If I lived in a place with spiders that big I'd have taken a parachute with me to flying lessons. Or a gun....

I was watching a thing recently where a guy mentioned how poo poo the quality of the front facing camera was compared to the back ones on his new phone. He was annoyed that if he wanted to record/stream better quality videos he'd have to hold the phone backwards and just guess whether he was in shot or not

We only have 2 scary spiders in WI. The brown recluse and the black widow. I've never seen either. One of the most dangerous animals in WI is.... the white tail deer. There are about 20,000 car accidents each year with them. I'd be freaked out if I found a deer in my plane.

When I was a kid in Texas, black widows and brown recluse spiders were both everywhere. We caught about ten of each in a jar. The idiot kid from across the street dropped the jar on our front porch and I had several angry ones of each crawling on me. That was the one time I was scared of a spider bite.

When I moved to WA state I was terrified when I found a gigantic spider in my apartment. Turns out it was the very common and not dangerous giant or common house spider or something. Which is extremely similar to the hobo spider (I think?) which can be dangerous. I'm not sure which two they are but they're similar looking and way bigger than any one I've ever seen out here.

I saw plenty of black widows growing up in Illinois. More than enough brown recluses in central Tennessee. I ran from a camel spider in Iraq. Now I live in Colorado and tarantulas are a migratory species here. Also there are sun spiders in the southwest akin to huntsman and camel spiders.

Please eat the fly that has been living in my home for a week Yeah I have a few tiny spiders like up in the very corner of my living room or something. You can't even see them unless you go over there so I'll let 'em live. You need some predators in your house to get rid of more of the pests. If they interfere with me or I see a huge centipede then my demeanor changes.

Creepy crawly talk reminds me of when I was a teenager and my friend's idiot brother Eric decided he was going to start a side hustle selling rattlesnake venom to hospitals. He did this once. EDIT: THIS STORY IS A BIT OF A DOWNER, SO MAYBE SKIP IT IF YOU ARE A FRIEND TO SNAKES. His kit: a fishing pole, a Rubbermaid trash can, and a '68 Buick Skylark. His plan: drive the old country roads (alone) at sundown until he found a snake laying on the road to soak up radiant heat (they do this). Light the snake up with the headlights, pin it's head down with the fishing pole, grab it behind the head, and throw it in the Rubbermaid trash can. We wished him well and to our surprise he came back around 10 with a hand twice its normal size and a Rubbermaid trash can filled with seven very angry Rattlesnakes. He told us he was fine, and that Rattlesnakes usually don't inject venom on defensive bites. Of course now he needed to milk them. His plan: ??? He just sort of ran out of steam and dumped the snakes into an old aquarium in his room. Unfortunately the next day, his mom decided to be nice and do his laundry. She took it downstairs and was folding it on the bed when she started hearing these popping sounds. *pop* *pop* *pop-pop* At this point she turned towards the sound and found herself about a foot away from some very angry snakes, in a glass aquarium on an eye level shelf, striking against the glass. We heard the scream from about two blocks away as we were walking home from school. She was waiting on the front porch, deadly calm. "Chef. Go home." Nick and Eric's home was a corporal punishment house in the way that only having two whacked the gently caress out Vietnam vets for parents can be. It was not uncommon to send visitors away before the beatings commenced. "Nick. Go with him." Oh poo poo. That pretty much killed the business, but Eric still had the problem of seven disgruntled and poisonous employees to deal with. Fun fact: the solution was another snake. Eric bought a king snake and threw it in the aquarium. Over the next few weeks the king snake would latch on to and slowly eat one rattler after another while the Rattlesnakes, in an evolutionary blindspot, offered no defense beyond ostracizing the current victim. It was a weird house. Chef Boyardeez Nuts fucked around with this message at 02:39 on Oct 29, 2022 |

By popular demand posted:I couldn't find much information on this couple but that they tried to pass a stolen credit card, dunno why they stuck around until the cop got there or why the guy engaged in such a half assed game of hiding and running nor why the lady thought that she could escape on the ceiling. This is from a bit ago, but criminals can be super and can be tricked into hanging around. When I worked at a department store, I got a couple who rolled up close to closing with a very big cart full of lots of ridiculous poo poo. Several Kitchenaid mixers, shoes, etc. So I start ringing them up and I don't think of anything about it. Now. we're supposed to ask everyone if they have our department store CC and if they want to sign up for one. The guy did most of the talking and said yeah, they had one already. But myself, being a good sales person, told him that if his girlfriend applied for one, I could give them 20% off their sale, even if she wasn't approved. They jumped on it. Mind you, I didn't suspect anything at this time, so she filled out the application and I plugged the info into the computer and I got this return to call the credit center for validation. Pretty standard. So I call the credit center and they're patiently waiting. The person on the other end advised me it wasn't going to be approved. I hung up and my phone immediately rang. It was our Loss Prevention person telling me the people had stolen the department store credit card they were trying to use and to try and stall them, the cops were on the way. I was like.....okay not what I was thinking was going to happen. So I turn to them and said the credit person's comp went down so they're just rebooting and then they can get it all approved. I waited and made small talk with them and told them how much they're gonna save. They started to get nervous and asked me to just go ahead and charge without the discount. I was like okay and then hit the wrong button on my register and basically acted incompetent and slow. About 2 mins after LP told me what was happening, a cop walks into the doors. The guy immediately puts his hands up and the girl goes full tilt running out the front door, only to be tackled from the side by the cop waiting outside off to the side. It was glorious.

Spiderchat: One of my favourite things to do on trips to the cottage with friends, is go canoeing in the early morning. I'm really good in a canoe, and it's fun to guide people tripping balls on canoe trips through the 4:30AM fog to the opposite side of the lake where there are loads of cliff faces and other cool stuff. Sometimes I like to get really close to the cliffs and push off with my paddle, causing tons of wolf spiders to reveal themselves and scatter around the rock.

Wait, what the gently caress? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ace_of_Base What the gently caress?! But that doesn't make any sense! "Ace of Bass" is clever! quote:The new band went through several names: [...] CAD (Computer-Aided Disco); and Tech-Noir, French for black technology, after a nightclub in the film The Terminator.

Hyperlynx posted:What the gently caress?! But that doesn't make any sense! "Ace of Bass" is clever! Right? But their whole thing was calling their recording studio their "base," and they were the best musicians there, so they were the aces of that base. My second favorite "this is why we have a dumb band name" story is when Garbage were asked about their origin. "Well, we called up the band name hotline, which is how every band gets assigned their name. They were short handed that week, and all they had was 'Garbage' and 'Hootie and the Blowfish.' I'm not sure we made the right choice."
