It was my last summer at home before college too, but I did notice some aggressive webbing slowly overtaking the back shelf as the summer went. Only sign I knew I wasn’t crazy, because I also never saw it again.
Then the house sold while at college. Drove by a few weeks ago on my way through town and noticed the shed is now gone, guessing the buyer also saw the spider lol
We have many lakes and rivers, so dock spiders are common unfortunately. Wooded areas aplenty, so wolf spiders too. Then your common group of hanging out in the corners of your deck getting their full of mosquitos and black flies spiders. Those creeperass basement spiders with the long legs. I once also slammed my shed shut and fucked off back inside because of some furry palm sized bastard was chilling on the inside of said shed door.
They may not be poisonous or dinner plate sized, but some are pretty aggressive and others look like they should be.
I usually get that “this is fine” mantra going on repeat until it either touches me or I’m done and wig the fuck out of there. On the rare occasion I tell the spider we’re fine so long as we leave each other be and it’s all sunshine and rainbows. Brains are weird.
The second there’s more than 2 or it’s bigger than a toonie I’m bringing fire though.
I got a 3M half mask with bayonet connectors, I’m good for round two!
“Not bad” potato salad is still potato salad. If it was “pretty good” it would’ve been 3 plates.
100% but 3840x2160 and small taskbar icons?
Which would be lame to do in the view of said youths, no?
I had something like this one. It was the ram. If I powered off, shut off the PSU and unplugged, then reseated the ram and tried again it would come on. Upgraded the ram and the issue went away.
Also, if you encounter this with a Dell laptop, same thing (just make sure to disconnect the battery before touching the ram).
I work in IT and right now it’s a group of CCTV IP cameras that have a patterned flicker at certain times of the day but on random days. I’m pretty sure I’ve boiled it down to either a heavy power draw from other equipment or the shitty segregated network they’re on. I’m in the middle of desegregation and network uplift and the pool is shrinking so I might have it figured out finally but it’s been months still hella random.
When we do it right, you forget we’re here and we’re ok with that.
Just the one?
I was 33 for almost 2 years. Covid did a number on my interpretation of time…
What about the other items? Bottle rockets off the papalcony for sure. Dab pen for office duties after I think.
The laser pen would also be a mind blower during the high times.
I keep the seat down and hover depending on the velocity. If it’s gonna return fire, I’ll use the seat for support.
I’d wanna try and keep it a native type though, I’m in an industrial setting and our environmental people would probably flip my desk if they caught wind of non-native plant introduction on site… they’re super dire all the time.
All “we need this data for our month end and it hasn’t been populating for 3 weeks! The government regulator is going to fine us into oblivion blah blah blah”. One time they flipped out because it had been something like 3 months of no data but they didn’t tell us until a few days before the current month’s due date. Really hard to take them seriously on their issue priorities. But they totally flip my desk for bringing fancy grass lol
That’s awesome! Do it up! I’m so looking forward to the extra space. I’ve considered being impatient and taking over the spare desk next to me lol people just keep using it for storage and it’s making the big boss twitchy, so it would really be two birds one stone…
I was actually just thinking today that when I get my new L desk at work and privacy screens, I’m gonna get a sun lamp and grow my own grass in a pot on my desk.
I work in IT and taken on a much more removed roll, so it makes sense because I get out even less now.
I use Office 365 for work and I still CTRL+S. Something learned the hard way is hard to let go of lol
As someone living around the Timmins area, we’ve imported some hot climate individuals and still have room, send them up! The Northlander should be running by then /fingers crossed/
