Looks kinda like a Yellow Sac Spider and why is she tormenting it?
That crap ain’t necessary.
Did she go out later and burn some ants with a magnifying glass?
Seriously.
Only soulless freaks torment animals.
People can be real dicks.
Microwave mm weapon which heats a minuscule depth into the body causing intense pain but virtually no physical damage. Not very accurate as it is an antenna beam form from a phased array and not like a laser. Weapon System
What a phased beam form looks like.
The "Brown Note" is a myth. Myth
It really is a shame there is no "Brown Note." Think of the fun you could have as the sound engineer at a concert.
Then there was the XF-84H Republic Thunderscreech. An F-84 fitted with a three bladed prop coupled to its jet engine. The tips of the prop exceeded the speed of sound and set up such a howling resonance that it caused ground crews to lose control of their bowels.
Weird looking bird.
From Wikipedia (spit)
"The XF-84H was almost certainly the loudest aircraft ever built, earning the nickname "Thunderscreech" as well as the "Mighty Ear Banger".[16] On the ground "run ups", the prototypes could reportedly be heard 25 miles (40 km) away.[17] Unlike standard propellers that turn at subsonic speeds, the outer 24–30 inches (61–76 cm) of the blades on the XF-84H's propeller traveled faster than the speed of sound even at idle thrust, producing a continuous visible sonic boom that radiated laterally from the propellers for hundreds of yards. The shock wave was actually powerful enough to knock a man down; an unfortunate crew chief who was inside a nearby C-47 was severely incapacitated during a 30-minute ground run.[17] Coupled with the already considerable noise from the subsonic aspect of the propeller and the T40's dual turbine sections, the aircraft was notorious for inducing severe nausea and headaches among ground crews.[11] In one report, a Republic engineer suffered a seizure after close range exposure to the shock waves emanating from a powered-up XF-84H.[18]
The pervasive noise also severely disrupted operations in the Edwards AFB control tower by risking vibration damage to sensitive components and forcing air traffic personnel to communicate with the XF-84H's crew on the flight line by light signals. After numerous complaints, the Air Force Flight Test Center directed Republic to tow the aircraft out on Rogers Dry Lake, far from the flight line, before running up its engine.[14] The test program did not proceed further than the manufacturer's Phase I proving flights; consequently, no USAF test pilots flew the XF-84H. With the likelihood that the engine and equipment failures coupled with the inability to reach design speeds and subsequent instability experienced were insurmountable problems, the USAF cancelled the program in September 1956.[19]"
Absolutely loved reading this part
"Lin Hendrix, one of the Republic test pilots assigned to the program, flew the aircraft once and refused to ever fly it again, claiming "it never flew over 450 knots (830 km/h) indicated, since at that speed, it developed an unhappy practice of 'snaking', apparently losing longitudinal stability".[14] Hendrix also told the formidable Republic project engineer, "You aren't big enough and there aren't enough of you to get me in that thing again".[13]"
“considerable noise from the subsonic aspect of the propeller”
As usual Wikipedia screws it up. Bunch of Lib-iot Jamooks and Jabronies that edit the thing from their mom’s basement.
That;s not a spider, it is the miniature version of the camel spider . Can’t remember the name, something like sun(~something). Lots in Az. and California. Some in Tx too.
Thank you....that was a fascinating story.
I just like to write things down now… I’m getting to that point in my life where I’ve got all these little snippets of text describing things. I just save them when I write them…:)
I'm the same way about bugs in the room when I go to sleep. I don't care too much about them during the day but if I see one in my bedroom before bedtime, I won't rest until I find it and eradicate it. I will even chase a mosquito or housefly around the room if I have to.
All God’s little creatures. They are supposed to have a reason for being, i guess.
