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 It looks like it's from Starship Troopers 😁

@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:

@christineburns I watched the video of the Llangollen excavator doing its stuff, and it made me ridiculously happy that such things exist.

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. -

@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 😂

Palestina: quando la solidarieta fa paura. DdL Delrio e bavagli sionisti
@anarchia
Nelle ultime settimane del 2025 abbiamo assistito ad una crescita esponenziale della spirale repressiva contro il movimento di solidarietà al popolo palestinese, un movimento che nei mesi precedenti aveva dato luogo a grandiose manifestazioni di piazza e a riusciti scioperi...

Siamo arrivati in fondo all'#AFCON2026. Domani alle 17.00 #Egitto-#Nigeria per il 3o posto, e domenica alle 20.00 la finalissima #Marocco-#Senegal. Le partite che ho visto io (su Sportitalia-Canale 69 del DTT) sono state più divertenti di quelle che mediamente ci sono in Serie A. Ma anche per uno non appassionato di #calcio, vedere lo Stadio di Rabat e pensare alle polemiche su San Siro a #Milano.. Quale squadra della Coppa d’Africa ha il soprannome migliore? https://ultimouomo.com/coppa-africa-soprannomi-nazionali-qual-e-migliore-power-ranking

Un successone, insomma.
