Identify this spider, please? Western NC, USA

Identify this spider, please? Western NC, USA

I've been seeing lots of these black (I know it looks lighter, bit I'm using a strong flashlight) glossy/shiny spiders around my house at night.Tis the season right now, I know.

I'd like to get an ID on this one. I added an image below that better shows the color, but I thought this would be better ince i can only have one photo in the post.

I am generally a spider friend and appreciate the pest control, but I would like to make sure it isn't something medically significant to a smaller dog.

I haven't seen an hourglass, but do feel I have seen a pair of dots on a few, all similar in size, shape, and color.

Thank you in advance!

Any word on the upcoming comics?

I have been so hyped since I saw that there was to be a Summer comic release of Vampire Hunter D comics. I got even more hyped on the news that there would be limited covers of tarot cards! We are approaching the end of the Summer. I've been looking constantly for updates and found nothing. Have any if you heard anything?!

Gameplay and mod suggestions for a solo player?

I played this a few hours ages ago, but I have seen lots of updates recently, including the Enhanced Edition. I really want to try this out, but my friends aren't interested. Are there any quality of life or other mods you'd recommend knowing I'll be playing this solo? Any tips for enjoying it solo, since it kinda seems geared towards a group? I'd like to play a sorcerer or some such eventually and I enjoy exploration and building stuff most in games most. I'd like to avoid any total overhaul type mods, but don't want to grind a bunch or do menial tasks. Thanks in advance for your suggestions!

Lit Escalates Digital Artwork [Off Topic]

I missed these sadly. Is there a place I can buy these digitally, buy prints, or attain them through other means? I'd love to have some for the computer or wall...

Tiny pinhead sized black spots on pepper leaves. Tried everything. Please help!

I am getting tiny black spots spreading on my pepper plants leaves. Nothing I can find online looks like this. After reading I've tried the following:

  • insecticidal soap
  • baking soda spray
  • neem oil
  • aspirin spray
  • Dr Earth fungicide

I consistently water. I wash my hands and tools constantly. I water gently at the base, careful to not splash. I immediately pick of any leaves I see with spots. The image above is an old plant that was disposed of.

All these peppers are in 7 inch grow bags.

Any ideas what this is and how I can be rid of it? Do I have to trash all of my peppers? Thanks!

Look for book recommendations, bored of certain tropes and concepts, details below!

Greetings! I've become more aware of my preferences as I've read, so I am seeking new recommendations!

These aren't hard requirements, so it's ok if not everything matches.

Things I like reading:

  • Dungeon crawls and tavern brawls
  • Medieval or Renaissance settings
  • Grotesque monsters
  • Gallows humor
  • Quicker pacing
  • Reluctant Hero trope
  • The Quest trope

Things I am not as interested in reading:

  • The Chosen One trope
  • World-ending evils
  • Large scale battles
  • Shallow antagonists
  • Excessive politics
  • Slow burn stories
  • Sexual violence
  • Science fantasy

Series I've recently read:

  • Blacktongue Thief - favorite, boring prequel
  • The First Law - they're perfect
  • Bloodsworn Saga - Stellar
  • Devil's - Loved it
  • The Witcher - high highs, low lows, too slow
  • Fallen Gods - solid start, lull in the middle, the end was too large battle focused
  • Songs of the drowned - good characters, a bit too slow
  • The Lot Lands - fun, but lost steam
  • Shadow Saga - good start, lost steam
  • Night Angel - reading, fun but have concerns

Thanks in advance for your recommendations!

There has been a burn ban in my area for months that may continue a while. I love time around a campfire with friends on camping and backpacking trips. No fire means early bed, sitting in the dark or being blinded by headlamps.

I am looking for a nice lantern to substitute a small campfire that I can sit around with friends during burn bans. It doesn't need campfire ambience, I just want something to sufficiently illuminate the area. Bonus points for lighter weight, rechargable battery, and decent adjustable lighting. Thanks!
