YUCK!Math Is Hard said:I have heard people talk about "earthquake weather" and we had weird weather today. Hazy and very hot with warm winds. The weather website said it was 90 degrees F at sundown.

Jelly says she hopes so, too!Evo said:I hope you don't have another earthquake.

Ivan Seeking said:I think there is something to this claim for two reasons: First, my dad inadvertently predicted the 1971 Sylmar quake. The night before while we were all seated for dinner, out of the blue, he looked out the window and announced that this was earthquake weather. He never said that before or since. And beyond this, there was a strange calm in the air that night. It is difficult to identify precisely any characteristic, but a strange calm is the best that I can recall. Perhaps it relates to reduced activity for birds and other animals - possibly sensing precursive activity. Or, maybe we can sense pressure changes in advance of some quakes... And there is some evidence that Radon is released in advance of some quakes, so I wonder if this might have an effect on the atmosphere. I distinctly recall that the sun was setting when we sat for dinner, and the sky did look unusual. We all noticed it, and this seemed to be what caught my dad's eye. [edit: Hazy is a word that sort of works for me, but I have thought about this from time to time, and I suspect that there may even be something to the color of the sky... not sure. It has been too long]
Years later I asked him about this. He didn't even remember saying it, but having grown up in earthquake country, he guessed that it was instinctive. He didn't recall anyone telling him about it or what might be the indicators.

The effects of drugs on spiders vary depending on the type and dosage of the drug. Some drugs can cause changes in behavior, such as hyperactivity or lethargy, while others can affect the spider's ability to spin webs or hunt for prey. In some cases, drug use may even lead to death.
While it is possible for spiders to become physically dependent on certain drugs, there is no evidence to suggest that they can become addicted in the same way that humans can. Spiders do not have the same brain chemistry as humans, so the concept of addiction may not apply to them in the same way.
Scientists have tested a variety of drugs on spiders, including psychoactive substances like caffeine, LSD, and marijuana, as well as pharmaceuticals like antidepressants and antipsychotics. These studies have helped researchers better understand the effects of drugs on spiders and their behavior.
Yes, the effects of drugs can vary between different species of spiders. For example, a drug that may have a stimulant effect on one species may have a sedative effect on another. Additionally, the size and age of the spider can also play a role in how it responds to drugs.
Some drugs have been found to impair a spider's ability to spin webs by affecting its coordination and fine motor skills. This can result in irregular or incomplete webs. Other drugs, however, can enhance a spider's web-building ability, causing them to create larger and more intricate webs than usual.
