Changing the subject dratically.... just look what popped in my css feed O.O
"Metallic osmium (Os) is one of the most exceptional elemental materials, having, at ambient pressure, the highest known density and one of the highest cohesive energies and melting temperatures. It is also very incompressible, but its high-pressure behaviour is not well understood because it has been studied so far only at pressures below 75 gigapascals."
Dayum!
We need to put this stuff inside a tokamak!

And please STAHP with the spider pics ._.
Lucky you. I've been stung virtually every summer. A few weeks ago my hand swelled to twice it's size after the usual stinging routine. Had to see a doctor to make it go back to normal. So these suckers really get me to be alarmed.

About a year ago Shell and I were visiting a friend who, it turned out, had a pet tarantula in a tank. Which was fine, a little creepy but so long as there was a thick sheet of glass between her and me...
Then he decided to get the bastard out and show her off.
Luckily he had more respect for our sensibilities than to take it too far, but I swear if the thing had dropped onto the floor I just know I wouldn't have been able to stop my instinct to stamp on it. Then I'd have had massive guilt over killing another creature, to go with whatever physical injuries I'd have taken in the meantime.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

Got my contract at work extended, and tbh they're talking like they want to keep me permanently
I'm coming for that promotion and bigger paycheck, they're gagging at what I bring. Suck it and gag, bitches who doubted me.

Spiders outside: fine. Do your thing, just don't get on me, don't come near me and don't spin webs where I'll walk into them.
Spiders inside: Oh, fuck no!! Running... screaming... I'm trying to be better and I've managed to trap-and-release a few that I've found so I'm managing to curb the phobia a little...
Me even thinking about taranulas:

I once heard that tarantuals lay eggs on, in, or around bananas and that what it for me and bananas for a loooooooong time. (I don't even know if it's true or an urban legend and frankly don't care to find out.) I still don't eat them much.
