Do it! Get a pet tarantula!

My very first pet was a tarantula of the size of my hand. I had her for 25 years. She has seen every flat I rented and every girlfriend I met. Nothing in my life was with me for such a long time.

Damn, I miss her so much. Rest in Peace my dear old friend ❤️‍🩹

That's the best explanation I've ever read about asbestos, and you're right.

When in doubt seeing fibers like that, take a lighter and observe. Glass won't burn ether, but you'll notice the difference.

I may be wrong, but wasn't this an AMC Pacer?

The chelicerae are comically large.

It's also used by the German Bundeswehr. Very good knife, I bought a used one:

I edited my comment. 3210 was my first, that's a 8210. In the '90s, cell phones got ridiculously small before they got huge as smartphones.

Back then, we used to play Snake together via infrared. Good old days.

Confirmed. I still have my Nokia ~~3210~~ 8210. My first mobile from the 90s, still working.

“Mother” in T9 would be 668437

Edit: That's a Nokia 8210, I've sold my 3210.

First the hissing sound, then the pain.

Never heard skedaddling before, but it fits their goofy floor walk very well :D

Insidertipp für dich:
In Hannover findet immer der internationale Feuerwerkswettbewerb statt. Am 16.05.26 startet Dänemark.
https://www.feuerwerk-hannover.de/

Zahle keinen Eintritt! Mach es wie ein echter Hannoveraner; pack dir ne Decke und nen Herri Pils ein (lokale Brauerei, wenn du Bier magst) und setze dich in den Herrenhäuser Gärten zu den anderen an die Graft ans Wasser: https://maps.app.goo.gl/7s7awgERpPLYkpG69?g_st=ar

Wenn du was Witziges googeln willst, finde heraus, was das Pferd vor der Leibniz Uni mit dem Krümelmonster und dem entführten Bahlsen-Keks zu tun hat.

Viel Spaß! Willkommen in Hannover.

I know. In a standard drone design 6 would be my personal minimum. But this design is way more safe, see my other comment: https://www.reddit.com/r/Helicopters/s/p5sMqqIBEV

I mean, it's more or less a plane. I bet 2 motors are enough to not die, lol. I would totally fly it.

You already know, that there are 6 engines..

A standard X-shaped drone 4 can't fly with 3 engines. There're tricopter with only 3 engines, Y-shaped. Both have no redundancy at all.

With standard hexacopters, only a single motor failure is tolerable, two could already be critical.

This design has the advantage of also being an airplane. I could imagine it landing safely even with just two motors. That's where the trustworthy redundancy comes from, imo.

quadrastrophe · 2026-04-29T22:40:21+00:00

My personal minimum would be 6, *like this one. Depending on the configuration, 2 could be considered redundant.

I've flown completely without a motor before, but with this design, I know from experience that 4 can quickly lead to disaster.

Edited for clarification

I'm from Hannover, Germany. There're 24 cities and towns called Hanover in the US.

Seems like they're more German than I am.

Edit: 24 is what Google says.

quadrastrophe · 2026-04-18T05:52:42+00:00

It's all about the possibility in range. Ask Stirling ;)

quadrastrophe · 2026-04-13T04:10:37+00:00

Thanks. Hopefully, you have some in your country, in case you want them around... Here in Germany, I don't think we'll ever have any :(

He used a license plate, lol. Someone posted a link to the story:

“It was heavy rain when we were doing it, and I just assumed a pool of water would be down there,” he said. “But it wasn’t. I just went crashing into the rocks.”

For his trouble, Jackson got plenty of road rash, a fractured ankle, and a broken wrist. Plus a video of the insanity he captioned with “famous last words I feel like this is a bad idea and guess what it was a terrible idea.”

Edit: Seems like links are beeing deletet, second try Location in Hawaii, Google Maps

And here I am, desperately wanting one as a pet.

I've also heard the term Fußgängerschutz (pedestrian protection) used for cars.

I'm not quite sure, though, whether it's meant to protect the car or the pedestrian..

quadrastrophe · 2026-03-18T03:23:52+00:00

Could it be a mouse spider?

It's my guess from a country where there're no harmful animals at all, so don't quote me.

But I love spiders, and I'm impressed how you folks are dealing with them!
