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 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.

@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

Intelligence 2026: tecnologia e minacce ibride al centro della sicurezza nazionale italiana
L'innovazione tecnologica e l'intelligenza artificiale stanno ridefinendo i confini della sicurezza. Emergono rischi legati a campagne di disinformazione, spionaggio cibernetico e minacce multidominio che mirano a destabilizzare le istituzioni e le infrastrutture critiche.
