Lime Tonics posted:107 Million Spiders Found in 4-Acre Nest at Baltimore Wastewater Plant Here's the original 2010 report, which includes methodology. It's worth specifically quoting their recommendations at the end: SPIDERS posted:1) On-site personnel should be reassured that the spiders are harmless and the facility’s immense shroud of silk should be presented in a positive light as a record-breaking natural history wonder.

Of course having your skin ripped through sounds terrifying and painful though Makes for a good movie, though. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-fEVmiB9hgQ

Try a bandsaw, those things can julienne a frozen side of beef like nobody's business. They're not the most portable thing in the world though, your best bet is probably going to be to trick somebody over where one is and then give them a good shove.

They make portable band saws. Usually a 4 or 6 inch wide gap. So as long as what youre cutting has a maximum dimension of 6 inches in one dimension you can use it wherever.

Take the plunge! Okay! posted:Y'all should see editors in my country struggling with the concept of a tractor trailer being a thing pulled by a truck, rather than a tractor, ever since those poor sods asphyxiated in one. It's worse than that because the tractor trailer is the whole rig not just the thing being pulled. In fact, it's far more likely to be used to refer to just the truck than just the trailer.
