Am I a genocidal maniac if I derive some sort of twisted pleasure from nuclear wars that kill hundreds of millions of people breaking out in IOT?

Check out Peep Show Series 1 Episode 2 for some information about Pyramid Selling.

If you estimate something is from a certain year, and you were actually one year off, is that a good estimate? (Thats if youre working with an entire decade).

 

[spryllino]

Not bad.

No watching fictional people die is kind of funny, if there where a real nuclear holocaust I'm pretty sure you wouldn't find it funny at all.

But aren't you guys toward the top in math and science education?

What I meant is that after compulsory school (years 1-9), we (mainly, there are some others but mainly these) have two options: 'Lukio', which is more academical, I guess you could call it high school, and 'ammattikoulu' which is more focused on a single field, and usually includes very little theory. They both last (usually) 3 years. I just started in high school this year. Someone can probably explain this a bit more as I feel tired.

Do common spiders (like the ones you see hanging around your house) bite. Not poisonous ones.

All spiders are poisonous. Only a relative few are dangerously so.

Do you even have Black Widows up in Canadia? There may not even be any deadly spiders where you live.

We do, but not widespread.

 

[ParadigmShifter]

Poisonous spiders aren't a problem unless you eat them.

Venomous spiders might be more worrying.

 

[Arakhor]

*grin* QI for the win!

Not around here (I mean Black Widows). I think all the spiders die in the winter anyways because its cold.

 

[ParadigmShifter]

I think they hibernate or something. If they all died they'd be evolutionary failures but they have been around for millions of years

 

[aimeeandbeatles]

Well in spring theres always baby spiders everywherre so Id think the eggs would survive

 

[ParadigmShifter]

Some baby spiders eat their mothers! Proper hardcore predators, spiders.

 

[aimeeandbeatles]

In SimAnt the ants could sometimes attack a spider. But late in the game the spider starts shooting lazers (????) I have a screenshot

EDIT: Look

 

[ParadigmShifter]

Pikmin is probably a better game

Humbug.

Yes, we do, in southern Ontario at least. I've only ever seen one once, it was wedged between the damp wooden window-sill and the small air-condioner I was removing. Very freaky.

Can anyone read the date on this? I tried zooming and got pixels(This is one of the times I hate having a large resolution).

 

[civplayah]

To me it looks like December 1664.
