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've been chatting about this with a friend few years ago. He has been operating such "spider" for highly specific renovation job in old church or castle.
He confirmed me it has real high value us-case to get into places that were never designed for excavators and save them enormous amount of time on workload that would have to be done by hands and lots of sweat.

@christineburns Gosh I'd like to play with that. Or at the least watch it in action.

I'm sure that temptation is tempered by the inner ear of the operator going "Whoa, didn't see that coming..."

@christineburns is 57 too late to decide I want to drive one of these when I grow up?

Adds many many degrees of difficulty to an operator 😂

@christineburns@mastodon.green
Wow!
What a brilliant idea and even better: application.
OK, maybe it's just me being me, maybe i've been on the forks of Misskey too long, don't care but I am imagining a group of them dancing to Strauss waltzes.@AnguaDelphine I had them visualised as the Tiller Girls or Rockettes

@christineburns Found a documentation about this model, running for almost one hour and showing its application 'in the wild'. German language, but English subtitles available:

@greatlaketrout I suspect they steal children and grow them into becoming part of the machine — a bit like Cybermen.

Makes TOTAL sense.

@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 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.

@francina1909@mastodon.uno E come quando dicono che il buco dell'ozono è provocato dalle scoregge delle mucche... non dalle industrie piuttosto che dai miliardi di camion in circolazione piuttosto che dalle navi cargo o dagli aerei... no, le scoregge delle mucche... va a finire che dovranno fare le mucche elettriche...

🎉 What's New in Org Social! 🎉
This month the community has been buzzing about LoRa radio communications, members shared deep Emacs workflows, including GNUS for email, AUCTeX for papers, BQN/ngn/k array languages with Org Babel, pdf-tools, whisper.el voice dictation tricks, and org-alert debugging on Termux/Android. The org-publish vs Hugo debate sparked up, with one member proudly running a website built 100% with org-mode and elisp.
The spirit of digital freedom ran strong: deleting big tech accounts, supporting EU tech independence, and celebrating that "in plain text, identity verification doesn't exist and never will."
Also, org-social.el v2.11 was released with bug fixes found by the community itself.
And yes, there were cat photos 🐱
If you love Emacs and plain text freedom, join us!
