Adds many many degrees of difficulty to an operator 😂
@greatlaketrout I suspect they steal children and grow them into becoming part of the machine — a bit like Cybermen.

Makes TOTAL sense.

The weirdest excavator I’ve ever seen! I think they’re referred to as spiders and they can lift each leg independently and widen or narrow their track whilst the cabin does a full 360. There must be a temptation for the driver to play all day. One was in action this week, clambering down into the bed of the breached Llangollen Canal to help dig out narrowboats that had been washed into the void.
@christineburns I always marvel at what otherworldly skills it must take precisely to control these machines, and even elegantly so.

@christineburns My grand-niece is a heavy equipment operator, she would love one of these.
I knew a guy who could operate equipment on the steepest of slopes with the grace and agility of a ballerina. His equipment would dance. It was glorious. -

@christineburns I saw that! Amazing piece of kit!

@christineburns Ah, the wonderful Menzi Muck (https://menzimuck.com/). I've seen it in the mountains, it was normal then, but in hindsight, it's really a wonderful thing.

@christineburns Love spider diggers! My youngest child was fascinated with them when he was going through his “obsessed with construction equipment” phase 🙂

@christineburns and I thought my Unimog had good axle articulation and ground clearance.

@christineburns This sounds painful.

@christineburns @afewbugs there are quite a few YouTube videos of them in action at the canal. Interesting to see how they get them out.

@cazmockett @christineburns I found these folks' channel: https://www.youtube.com/@TaylorsAboardaNarrowboat Came for the excavators, stayed for the cats

@christineburns Now I want one! It looks like a lot of fun to drive
-
@christineburns is 57 too late to decide I want to drive one of these when I grow up?
@caity @christineburns I learned to drive a telehandler at 44, and I'm not sorry even if I only get very occasional practice

There's a ladybug following me everywhere since yesterday.
She roamed near me as I did a video call from my child's room yesterday morning.
Today she flew on my computer monitor and wandered around for a bit. Then I went to shower and she followed me to the bathroom, planting itself on the window. She's very cute.
Do you have any ladybug care tips? How can I help her with food and water?
(My mom says it's still too cold to bring her outside... my 5-year-old is smitten too) 🐞

@ivanopat @Lyra quelli sono i calzini bianchi con sandalo, come schifano gli ormoni quelli...
Se la giocano con il "se io avrei".

Do European leaders represent Europe?
For me, apart from Sánchez, the others are barely burgomasters.
They should also be kicked out of their respective governments. An European national leader today cannot afford not to be a leader at an European level.

@OKdad no need to apologize, thank you for all your insights!
My child is much younger (5) and thus blissfully offline. That's why I do so much work now advocating for the Fediverse and FOSS... I wanna help support better alternatives for her and her peers 🥲

Ma i leader europei rappresentano l'Europa?
Per me, a parte Sánchez, gli altri sono a malapena borgomastri
Andrebbero cacciati anche dai rispettivi governi, un leader nazionale europeo oggi non può permettersi di non essere un leader di livello europeo
