Remove if inappropriate. I'm not member of any other fitting community. π«£
Seems to be a hard working web developer, surely he can pay his rent
His pest removal services are worth nothing? You're already bartering.
Looks like you found yourself a network debugger
You've considered a capitalist solution, but have you considered
Restorative justice: the spider is a trespasser, but will likely not find enough prey to survive. Capture the spider and relocate it to a suitable habitat where it can thrive. Check on it occasionally to ensure it is doing well
Libertarian anarchism: leave it be. It will die, survive, or thrive on its own terms
Authoritarianism: tell the spider if it doesn't remove itself it will be arrested, start ordering it to get on the ground, fire 13 rounds at it, preferably missing all shots but hitting a nearby toddler. Institute martial law against the "foreign threat", citing the recent death of a toddler
It gets to keep 25% of the bugs he catches. You get to eat the other 75%.
Any changes to the web will void it's deposit and you get to eat 500 of it's bugs to repair any damage.
Utilities are not included. There will be a 5 bug charge for each droplet of water it drinks from the faucet. Even though it lives near WiFi, there is a hookup fee and monthly cost of 25 bugs.
If it is late on monthly bug payments for more that 1-week. You get to eat it's web and all the bugs. The spider will be taken outside on a paper towel or in a cup and left on the nearest leaf.
Implement those and you'll eat like a king!
Threaten it to call immigration if it doesn't pay up.
Been thinking of hosting a webcrawler myself.
Its already a work in place of rent situation. I have tenants with similar contract in my kitchen window, my shower ceiling, the storage/work room window, and the one that doesn't follow the rules in the front entrance arch who is likely to be evicted.
rent? itβs keeping your house pest freeβ¦ you owe it money
(also obligatory thatβs not a spider THIS is a spider from australia)
Sheβs just trying to crawl the web!
Keeping the computer bugs at bay
Wow, nice rack!!!
I just love that you call it a network rack
What do you mean? It is already working hard to get rid of all the flies in there.
You sound more like a capitalist CEO. Are you going to take its healthcare away as well?
First, do you have access to a spider sized pen that it could use to sing a contract?
I love this thread
Spider notwithstanding, looks like youβve made an excellent partial faraday cage for your WiFi π
am i crazy or is there no spider in this photo??
They're already working hard ensuring your local network web is free from bugs.
You should write a tiny letter
You could collect the spider silk and weave a cape. Golden Spider Silk Cape
Youβre seriously considering charging the spider rent after he provides you an excellent web connection without asking you for so much as a dime?! How dare you, sir?! How very dare you!!
Considering household insects like cockroaches often look for warm, dry locations to lay their oothecas (egg capsules), and have been known to get fried and damage equipment while doing so - I'd say you actually might have a useful symbiotic pal there, protecting your gear (do I see an MT-6000? Great gateway).
