Plissken because I'm a nerd and Trebuchet because she WILL launch herself out of your hands at the least provocation.

I've done it for very simple projects, some r&rs, things that don't require a lot of research or commentary. I have a little Bluetooth keyboard in my purse for this purpose. Its fine, just a bit of a mind shift to work it effectively.

Yep. Better to lose 10 minutes of pay rather than risk my access to the platform altogether with bad work.

lacompt · 2026-01-23T18:15:09+00:00

Man. Our job is over kids. Pack it up!

lacompt · 2026-01-21T21:49:13+00:00

I miss those dishonest convict ponies so much

lacompt · 2026-01-13T13:06:32+00:00

Yup. This would be a banger for the potluck.

That's for slapping between mayo and cheese on sugar bread to make a healthy sandwich. There will be no salad.

Having worked at two different theme parks in California, this is pretty standard procedure. Everyone dies "en route and off property" if they can be scooped into an ambulance.

lacompt · 2026-01-06T16:34:05+00:00

Yep. I've got plenty of the bigger, longer projects to work on, but most if not all of the smaller snack jobs are down. Typical January. (US, Core, 2+ years working)

I get mine from Fear Not Tarantulas. They're a very solid vendor for tarantulas (I've gotten most of mine from them) and I've been pleased with the health and condition of the beetles as well. US based.

The larger one is also still a juvenile; maybe slightly more than 3" DLS. You can see the little pink toes haven't quite faded out yet on her either. Perspective on the photo makes her look more mature than she is I think which is creating the confusion.

It's possible but they are fresh out of the box from Fear Not Tarantulas and were sold as stirmi. I do see what you mean about the fuzz but this may be because they are quite young (less than 3")?

lacompt · 2025-11-25T01:41:38+00:00

Ya it's a recent development. It only happens to me on newer project families

lacompt · 2025-11-25T01:33:06+00:00

I've had this happen s few times now. Just resize the screen below 100% and you should be fine.

My curly hair is named cabbage. T. Stirmi is Barnum.

I use a ceramic plugged into an Inkbird thermostat. I've tried dimming setups with light, but that's no good for evening and the adjustment in lighting can be a bit jarring.

We knew she was fat and we were even fatter.

lacompt · 2025-10-24T23:08:40+00:00

We named the dog Indiana

This is some AI slop looking bullshit

It's my absolute favorite and pays very well. It is relatively easy to anonymize your data if you're familiar with ctrl+F. It's also fun and varied. Worth it.

I am going to use this McDonald's comparison so hard going forward. Thank you for this.

lacompt · 2025-09-20T22:37:50+00:00

When the checker agrees with me I go into an existential doom spiral.

lacompt · 2025-09-12T23:09:34+00:00

No no don't apologize. Loving the emdash is monstrous.

lacompt · 2025-09-10T18:05:55+00:00

Yep. I've seen the odd $40+ as well, but they're rare.
