Especially when they start nesting inside my hollow bark without asking first. That's not polite.

I was too busy capturing it (unlike the bloke in the video below, I used my patent spider-catching kit, not my hands) to take photos, but the Huntsman I ejected from my bedroom the other night was big enough for me to ride to work.

Seriously though, Huntsman spiders are completely harmless. To humans, anyway. Plus, they eat mosquitoes and various other evil insects, don't leave huge webs. We get rather large ones in our house / sheds / garden / everywhere. Doesn't bother me in the slightest.

An advanced form of ahimsa might be the realization that being stuck indoors limited the spider's food supply and exposed it to risk of accidental injury.

I always relocate insects and spiders from my flat because I'm worried they might die inside - either through lack of food or through unintentional squashing. But sometimes I wonder whether I'm dooming them to die of hypothermia.

Thrillho · « **Reply #4562 on:** 14 Apr 2014, 02:48 »

I've been told that spiders you find inside are indoor spiders, and so by putting them outside you doom them to death by predator anyway.

Fuck any spider that comes into my house, I don't care what they eat. Stink bugs get flushed, ants get squished, spiders and those freaky centipede things get screamed and flailed at until someone else comes to kill them.

lepetitfromage · « **Reply #4565 on:** 14 Apr 2014, 06:41 »

We coexist peacefully with ladybugs and I'll relocate stink bugs in fear of accidentally unleashing their stench, but any other weird beetle-y things get stomped.

I've started to squish the freaky billion-legged bugs on my own. Of course, all the while there is screaming and flailing and I get the squicked out heebie jeebies even after they are long flushed...

ugh, when I lived in Mississippi, in the springtime there was a huge issue with ladybugs. I never minded them before, I kinda liked them a few at a time. But there were dozens of them who would invade our house, hanging around on the ceiling near our door and dining table. It was like a moving carpet of them on the ceiling... Apparently it was a yearly thing there.

On Ubuntu at least it won't let you do it by default but there's a command line switch you can use to override it.

I can always seem to get about a 5k+ game just by using down and right with an up every once in awhile.

You can get away with a left early on.. but if it makes you do that later, your turns are numbered...

It makes this really neat number pyramid with with lower numbers on the outside and higher numbers as it gets closer to the bottom right

The highest block I can get regularly is 512.. it usually craps out a little while after that.

So it turns out a girl who went to my old highschool made a music video! Now, more than half of the students at my highschool were music students, but I've only seen videos by a few, and it's always kinda cool to see people who've stuck with the music thing instead of becoming doctors, lawyers, swindlers etc. I had absolutely no connection whatsoever with this girl other than thinking almost every school day for three years that she was just the prettiest girl ever. She looks pretty different now, but seeing the videos really took me back and I've spent the past hour digging up music by other musicians from my highschool

So, for your viewing pleasure:
