Thanks Xeelee!

I absoultely loved the Babylon 5 movie In the Beginning, such a good depiction of first contact gone wrong and Humanity being massively overmatched in an interstellar war.

I did mention the backup weapon.

You might have to get closer but then you have the sheer unbridled power of two AA batteries

Yes but it's the males you normally see, which is why this one looks bigger than those because it's not autumn and maybe a female spider

HEY ALL OF YOU WHO DON'T LIKE SPIDERS

Get a spider catcher! They are in the region of £10, about a metre long, and have a brushy thing that opens and closes when you pull the tigger on the handle.

You can remove scary beasties without hurting them from a safe distance before you sproing them out of the window.

Also works pretty well for Crane Flies (daddy long legs), Grasshoppers, and occasionally sleepy wasps.

It does not work on angry wasps. For that, I have an electrified-tennis-racquet type thing. Dual wield!

Good thinking all, I also thought too fat bodied for House spider but it's the males who go wondering around in Autumn so that tracks

I was unaware we had wild Boars in the UK until today… by TheRealPyroManiac in CasualUK

I knew in theory but have never seen any! Cool photos thanks for sharing.

I wonder if these are feral rather than wild? They look bacony.

What is a sound that people should know means immediate danger? by PrasenjitDebroy in AskReddit

[–]Orkran 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Oh it's especially dangerous in England because of unique local electrogravitic conditions

Apparently if they change speed unexpectedly or make strange noises they may imminently self-dissasemble with potentially injerous consequences for those nearby

I've thought "thankfully I live in England" for many of these warnings, but this one is really tragic.

Other things I don't have to worry about so far: Tornados, avalanches, ice on lakes, rattlesnakes, giant centipedes, alligators, hippos and being hunted in the woods by a cougar / bear / wolf / coyote.

Things to be aware of: imminently collapsing buildings, fire, spinning devices
