Thanks for giving your ideas. Another thing is that scholars have a solution between federal government student loan and a private education loan where it truly is easier to choose student loan debt consolidation loan than through the federal education loan.

You know, if you don’t crush these scuties they come back home like Lassie, wagging their antennae before them.

In my professional field, I am starting to study autonomous target engagement. That’s a euphemism for “machines killing humans” because we really don’t want to deal with the idea, but we do want the capability.

then i hope this helps

check technology transfer, they have a lot deep down that they want to license from prior successes (ie target identification and tracking).

enjoy!

I’ve seen these in my NYC apartment! Now that I know they feast on bedbugs, roaches, ants, and silverfish, I will give them the Red Carpet Treatment. Very useful little beasties to have around!

I just had to go back and watch the centipede kill and strip the mouse. Breughel never envisioned such a scene.

The juxtaposition of the furry white mouse with the shiny, smooth carapace, covered with jewels of water, is fascinating and repellent. That thing was so out of place in the mouse’s world that the mouse didn’t even recognize it as a threat initially.

I enjoy the cold, profoundly unmammalian way the centipede sprung on the mouse and enveloped it. It makes something in the human mammal brain scream: “Wrong! Wrong! Wrong!” like a claxon.

Everyone thinks it will be like “Terminator”, but why give a machine human bipedal weaknesses and human drawbacks? Why would a machine need projectiles to kill humans? Why would a machine kill a human like a human kills a human?

Lots of hate speech on this thread.

Insects don’t really bother me that much. I’ll catch and release most solitary harmless insects I find inside the house. The cats usually take care of flies and moths. Luckily, I’m not infested with ants, cockroaches, or termites. If I were, I’d either spray them myself or call an exterminator. But it’s nothing personal. I don’t dislike those insects; I just can’t have them establishing colonies in the house. The same goes for wasps building a nest under the eaves of my house.

I’ve always been afraid of spiders and used to kill them when I saw them in the house. I now realize that they’re very cool creatures, even though I still don’t want them near me. They still creep me out, but now I employ the catch-and-release method for them.

But centipedes? No way. KILL.ON.SIGHT.

So there you have it. I’m guilty of “legism”. Which way to the re-education camp?

I hate them suckers.

Kill, kill, kill.

The centipedes, not necessarily the Attorney General henchmen.

Well, we’re sunk now. Given the hatred, fear, use of ethnic slurs (scutie, snatcherbody) death threats, and even graphic descriptions of actual hate-inspired violence and murder perpetrated against arthropods described on this thread, everybody who has commented here is clearly associated or affiliated with a hate group. Don’t tell the Department of Justice.
