I believe that's a Brown Recluse. It appears to have the telltale fiddle on its back.
I kind of hope I'm wrong though.

I was a Radioman in the Navy, and some coworkers and I had gone to see Cider House Rules in the theater.
There's a scene where they come to inform someone that a plane with a loved one on board had been shot down.
To quote the movie:
When the plane was hit, the crew chief and the radioman jumped close together. The copilot jumped third.
We immediately started laughing when we heard that, because we were told that the Radiomen are some of the last to leave a sinking ship due to needing to destroy the cryptographic material. Hearing that a Radioman was one of the first to bail was too good to us..
I used to on my PS1 and Saturn. Actually, the first CD I ever purchased was Nirvana's Nevermind, and the first CD player I had to play that on was the Sega CD.
I run GrapheneOS.
I told myself that my Pixel 8 pro will be enough for a bunch of years. That is, until I went on a trip with it. Now I feel like my Pixel 7 was better than the P8P is, with just as good of a camera with better battery life.
I'm glad I kept the p7 as a burner, because I may just make it my prime phone. I only upgraded on the prospect of a long lasting phone and received the p7 for free..
A few years ago, Morningstar used to have a vegetarian rib patty. Once I realized its potential as a vegetarian McRib, I bought a pack. It was delicious. I bought another pack.
And then it was gone from shelves in every store that had it.
I know that they probably named it Goose because he was a RIO and assisted the pilot, but the fact that Goose dies and this is a Google product is actually more fitting.
I believe what they're getting at is an issue if they're not already authenticated prior to the outage. Then they'd have no access to their media unless they look into the workaround for that beforehand. It has been an issue in the past, especially when Plex's auth servers go down. I remember plenty of Reddit threads complaining about it.
It's probably an issue all over, and I hope it gets blocked, for the sake of consumers. Kroger acquired a company called Roundy's which has a chain called "Pick N Save" in Wisconsin back in 2015. I remember shopping there after and seeing additional tags with products' prices announcing the "Your New Low", but prices were higher than pre acquisition. I stopped shopping there after that and noticing a decrease in product/brand diversity.
In response to such critiques, Reddit spokesperson Rathschmidt said he did not “know of an industry benchmark for scoring content quality”.
(Emphasis mine)
This is the same tone deaf response I've come to expect from Reddit for some time now, and is why I'm happy to no longer be a user of their platform.
Sounds a lot like what my company did. They made going in on Mon, Tue, Wed mandatory for everyone not designated as "Remote" beginning the day after Labor Day. The dumb thing here is that people don't have a desk to go to.
They announced a construction project on one of the buildings a few months ago, and have since closed that building completely, moving those people into the main building, and announced at the same time the closure of 2 more buildings for "reasons." This forced the need for "Flex Desks" as well as the installation of "bench desks" in what used to be common areas, just to fit people in. Further stupidity was introduced when they said that teams would have designated "neighborhoods" to sit together in, which is anything but. It's really a floor or part of a floor for an entire organization - "figure it out." So now when we arrive after our shitty commute, we have to wander around for a place to sit.
Then there's parking, which, if you didn't get into one of the 2 parking garages that are company owned and paid for by pre-tax deductions, then you have to find your own parking with your post-tax pay, because the agreement with the local garages wasn't renewed during the pandemic.
All dictated to us by someone who regularly joins video conferences from his car, home, or Yacht.
After years of eSim, wanting eSim, asking for nothing but eSim, I'm done with eSim. Having an argument with a T-Mobile rep in store on whether or not my Pixel 7 has an eSim made me no longer want eSim. I want my phone and its service to be as self service as possible, and managing my own sim seems to be my best option.
This is both cool and scary.
A few years ago, I was walking my dog at night just after sunset and looked up as I normally do to star gaze. My eyes caught a glimpse of a fast moving dot moving across the sky. I was getting the ISS reminders at the time and had none for the day, so I opened up Sky Guide and used the gyro feature to identify it. The dot happened to be an old Soviet rocket from the 1950s.
This opened up a different way of thinking about how much we’re tossing into the sky, and if objects are still floating by some 70 years later, what will our sky look like in another 70 with the accelerated launches we have today.
The advancements we’ve made as a human race is amazing, but quite scary at the same time.
