I’m shit with building load outs with so many variables, playing GoW and I have no idea what status and Runic are. I finished the first one without realising vitality was health.
I've got a Linux work server because VHDL simulations are hella expensive. I have to say that if your team isn't willing to RTF-Man pages, you end up with a lot of cargo cult CLI processes. No crystalized knowledge or training, it's hard to start up in it. It's enough that requiring explicit Linux experience for new hires is preferable. Windows sadly has the familiarity benefit. And don't get me started on the wacky custom solutions the IT set up circa 2002...
Yeah, posted on lemmygrad.ml for a while, but got pissed off when they deleted a well thought out argument i made on why not voting is harmful for the Prolitariat in the Imperial Core. Wanted to wait for a while before i posted in another fediverse instance or whatever and decide to post here once i saw it was where you landed ha.
You’re not wrong, but you’re underestimating how great roaches can be. Hissing roaches are amazing and dubia roaches aren’t bad at all either. It’s the flying ones that are the worst
It’s two halves of a bagel stuck together with jam and peanut butter to reform a solid torus. It’s math. They COULD have had an easy time eating your math, but the construction made it more difficult.
They don’t bother me like that, probably because I know that they’re always outside just chilling in their web…I think I’ve managed to overcome my primal instincts regarding creepy crawlies and snakes and so on, in that I’ll try and catch them and pick them up for a closer look
It probably helps that I live in the UK though, and not Australia or other tropical place…they have some mental things there
Yeah, I am Australian. Honestly the dangers are overblown, but there are still a few spiders that make me go a bit wobbly inside.
Orb-weavers (different genus though) are one of them to a tiny degree, not because they're dangerous, or even fast. It's because they have thick webs that they spin every single damn night and you accidentally walk through them. And then they freak out while you're freaking out... and they can really grip on to you.
I don't go walking through gardens at night in some areas anymore, I'm happy to appreciate them from a distance. But I still feel that instinctive "do not want" deep down.
You are probably dealing with Hortophora transmarina, the “Australian garden orb weaver spider”, though you probably don’t call it Australian in Australia.
I always thought they were very considerate spiders because they are nocturnal and, as you said, build a new web every night. So they actually take it down during they day. Most orb-weavers won’t do that for you.
Some of them are definitely those, but we get a bunch of different ones.
The night thing is polite, until you come home after dark one day, and there is limited light on a pathway. Keep in mind that wintertime daylight hours makes that "most of the time" in many places too.
You'll be tiredly fumbling for your keys while peering carefully to see the reflections of webs, and they're completely unpredictably placed because of the nightly rebuilding. Your morning memory of their location is now useless. This was admittedly a much bigger problem before mobile phone flashlights were a thing.
The more permanent web-builders you can at least reliably coax into more convenient places with a little bit of strategic web destruction. You might get a badly placed solitary structural web strand from that spider the next day, but those are not sticky and usually spider-free.
It wouldn't be such a bother if paths weren't one of their favourite places to build. And they didn't have widespread communities that have thrived with human occupation.
