buying? how so?

I still do not understand why prototaxites had to be three to nine meters tall. Nothing was tall back then. Plants are tall to avoid the shade of other plants. Prototaxites (probably) didn't "need" sunlight.

Spore dispersal isn't a good reason to be tall IMO.

If Prototaxites were just the stalk of a "fruiting body" of a fungus the network of mycelium must have been massive. Some prototaxites fossils show evidence of creatures/fungi colonizing them.

But we don't really know. Drives me nuts.

Lookin' for a good mod as in %

I tried to make some but they were bad. Help me out.

@Michkov

I sometimes wonder if it'd be at all productive or helpful to create networks shaped like the kind of networks that attract the wrong kind of attention from the worst kind of people but that contain nothing. Just having encrypted traffic wouldn't be enough. There would need to be more signs that something was "going on."

Inflatable tanks again, I guess.

@jackwilliambell

For internet traffic, maybe. But, if "everything" is encrypted functionally your workspace isn't.

The act of encrypting things *always* makes them (seem) more interesting.

You can use encryption to keep secrets, but, in using encryption, may let others know that you even have a secret at all.

So, the very best kind of encryption is both un-openable without a very large securely transported key AND not obviously (or even unobviously) encrypted at all.

The clay is textured and the glaze is semi transparent, this creates the pattern and sense of depth.

Hubertus Bigend always wears this annoying blue suit jacket and his "media" "company" is called Blue Ant. (It's a creepy advertising agency.)

So he has a famous blue ant coat.

Is this a Gibson reference?

@markproxy

Nice song! (and video!)

@markproxy

Yeah. Those are Paratrechina longicornis (the common name "longhorn ants" might be OK.)

@markproxy

It looks great! Are they sped up?

@markproxy

The first group of ants were probably trying to get it far enough away that these ants wouldn't take over. Sometimes they will bury a large item like that. I would have loved to watch "the change over"

Paratrechina longicornis likes to run around in the sun and stay warm. Might come back when the sun is out again.

@markproxy

About this size? I'm becoming more confident these could be Paratrechina longicornis (aka "crazy ants" but please don't call them that, there are ants from like five different genuses that go by that common name. It's no good. )

@swope @markproxy

I'm putting my money on Paratrechina longicornis you can see the "long cornis" on this one right here:

@markproxy

I'm glad the anole got away. Poor little guy. I would like to identify these ants, but going just on size and gaster shape alone is risky. They look very small. Were they especially small (for ants)? It could be Monomorium sp. but they could also be Paratrechina longicornis which is invasive, but largely naturalized.

The social carrying makes me think it's Paratrechina longicornis (aka "crazy ants" though that common name is no good it's used for too many sp.)
