Tube loitering

One of the downsides to connecting your nests using long tubes is "ant loitering" some ants like to just hang out in the tubes because they retain a little moisture and it's near everything. This will cause the tubes to get dirty and less attractive... hence my new invention of a "mid tube fan."

Getting ants to do anything is next level. They respond to every change and not in the ways you'd predict. They are sensitive to temp, light levels and air currents in ways that aren't obvious. I just need to find a small enough fan and 3D print a little holder for it. 

I recently cleared out a tube that the cone ants blocked with sand, using ... the legs of dead crickets like rebar to reenforce the structure. They had made this whole barricade to regulate the air flow to the nest (hence I'd never recommend a fan on a nest tube)

I guess building a wall out of cricket legs (as struts) with a sand slurry like concrete... isn't any more strange than those early humans with their bone huts...

though I still find both creepy.

#will i turn my apartment into a tgcf shrine? #will the sun set in the west? #will an elephant step on an ant? #life #stuff #tgcf thoughts #because all my thoughts are tgcf #it’s not a problem it’s a solution #tgcf #hualian #hua cheng #pillowcheng #tgcf merch

aw baby soppy eating

#rtvs #radiotvsolutions #socpens #scorpy rtvs #eating ants was a big thing in my childhood #some guy told me and my friends in kindergarten how to eat them properly and so we did #I don't remember the taste #tw ants #radio tv solutions

[andromedasummer]

the tried and true rtvs tradition and tactic of typing "Captain Jean-Luc Picard appears" into an unrelated but stagnating ai story will always delight me no matter the dissenting cries of some in chat and also sometimes other rtvs members

#radio tv solutions #rtvs #wayneradiotv #it is always funny. always. #casino heist story? candy story? ant story? put picard in there. or any other cast member from TNG. it will always make me laugh

A lizard got stuck on the sticky trap I put down for daddy long legs...I was able to take the trap outside, spray the lizard down with cooking oil and use a thick piece of paper to peel it off the trap and luckily it was still alive and was able to go on its way.

I would never use a glue trap on large animals and I'm not sure how the lizard even got inside.

#i don't even know why i continue to pay orkin #their solution for the outside ant problem was bad #and the last guy who came didn't spray shit #unfortunately i was working when he came so I couldn't follow him around to make sure the right places were sprayed #i wanted to use the sticky traps to identify hot spots #but ugh i felt so bad for the lizard #i'm a stickler about leaving the doors closed #after the iguana incident

I got a questionnaire for jury duty, as if I didn’t need another thing to add to my pile of responsibilities this year.

Our school got “randomly” selected for field testing this month. I’ve been asked to come into work on Saturdays to tutor for state testing. I have been proctoring one on one language tests this entire month. From April to May, I’m planning, proctoring, and organizing a major state exam. In June, I’ll be planning, proctoring, and organizing other major state exams. I belong to a school leadership team that must meet once a month. I belong to a department team that must meet once a month. I have monthly mandatory professional development. I’ll probably be planning the curriculum for our summer language program, which I will also probably be working. I help plan and coordinate activities and field trips for an affinity group. I have a two day conference in April. I have to coordinate and organize 20+ language projects which will be presented in front of judges at another conference.

All of this on top of having a mostly brand new team of people in my department making me the senior most person who not only has to make a lot of major decisions, but train everyone else on what to do.

I am really trying very hard right now to not completely fucking break down but this goddamn mail I got today is about to be my last straw. I have been doing so well since graduate school ended in terms of not having full blown panic attacks and having a decent sleep schedule but this entire year my insomnia has been worse. Not only that, but my mother is dependent on me for transportation. I am chronically ill. I know both of those things could prevent me from doing jury duty, but I haven’t been able to get a proper diagnosis for the majority of what I’m going through because no one takes me seriously and I’m not officially listed as a “carer” for my mother. This is the shittiest system the country has come up with in order to provide jurors for court cases - “randomly” selecting people who could more often than not be moments away from a complete mental breakdown because they keep getting handed more and more and more and more and more fucking responsibilities. I Need. A fucking. Break.

And I already “served” jury duty during COVID ffs

Do I have a fucking target on my back? The fuck.

king of the jungle - iac 2023

#i listened to today's ep (the return of the king) of sam and pete's podcast 'staying relevant' #he talked about his time in the jungle (didn't talk about ant and dec though) #and he was told not to run or jump on the bridge #and pete was told the same and he was like 'duh i wasn't gonna. but have you told sam?' #'yeah. sam promised he won't' #lol #(link to the podcast website under king) #iac #iac 2023 #2023 #🦊.gif #(also i'm so annoyed at myself... because tumblr crashes my router and i accidentally tried to load the website... #i ended up looking through forums for about an hour to find a solution that doesn't involve buying a new router... #all i ended up with is the workaround of using a vpn #but i just wasted so much time when all i wanted to do was upload some silly little gifs :( and i've still got a work task to finish #i'm really annoyed with myself... sorry for the rant!!!)

I'm fine now dw

#this is not a good long term solution but weed does make me significantly less depressed #thus far extremely effective in ending mental and emotional breakdowns #''will I still want to kms if I'm high?'' the answer is always no when I'm high I want to eat dry cereal and listen to video game music #the hatsune miku pikachu song has by the power of weed restored my will to live #if I didn't care about the long term effects I'd stay high all the time tbh. so much less pain. everything is funnier. its easier to smile. #my chest doesn't hurt. nothing is scary. i simply do not care about the general state of things. brushing my teeth feels nice. #the water is soft. I have my earplugs in and the sound of my own breathing is soothing instead of annoying. #I can do anything but I have to do it extremely slowly. Thats fine. I'm not upset about people yelling at me because I don't care. #All is well. keep on keepin on. no need to think beyond tomorrow. no need to think beyond tonight. #no need to think beyond making myself safe and warm and clean and fed and cozied up with only sounds that make me happy #this is the feeling humans were created for. the feeling of being cradled by the universe thrumming in the back of our hearts. #the feeling of the vast being not uncaring but simply unaware and inherently caring in its ignorance. #water to drink soothing and aiding and fueling her creations. all is well. all is well. #there is a crack in the paint in my bathroom that looks like a super buff ant

im so cagey about my online artist persona and i have tried to avoid having any link between it and my irl life (with few exceptions). anyway should i sign my paintings with my alias or with my real name.........

#the thought of signing my real name makes me want to barf #but so does the potential of having to tell ppl oh yeah it's my pseudonym. don't look me up ok #i am just an ant i don't imagine i will achieve even a small amount of fame or renown for my paintings anytime soon (or ever) #but imagining participating in an art fair irl or having so socialize with other ppl wrt to my art and using my real name...... #throws up #maybe i just need to come up with another pseudonym so i have one for drawings and one for painting #compartmentalizing even more seems like the right solution here :3c

I just can't suspend my disbelief about anteaters. It doesn't make any sense that a mammal that huge can keep its body sustained eating just ants and termites. "Oh but they raid hundreds of nests per day and eat thousands and thousands of them!" Dude, I feel like even you must know you're reaching here. Come on.

It's a shame, because the idea is genuinely really cool, a big fluffy guy whose main deal is slurping up insects with its crazy tongue, what's not to love. But they went too far and felt the need to make that gimmick its ENTIRE food supply, and then it just... doesn't work! Nobody would be complaining if it ALSO ate some berries or something every once in a while! Your worldbuilding is allowed to have some nuance!

And I guess they tried to address this when they made the aardvark by introducing the aardvark cucumber, which is a special melon-looking fruit that only aardvarks care about and which supplements their mostly insect-based diet. Which... okay to be honest I think that's a really ham-fisted and dumb solution, but at least it's something.
