This is more likely to be in one of these "documentaries" than you might think.

"Is it possible that an alien DNA engineered Bigfoot was responsible for the dinosaur extinction? Some researchers say yes."

@glasspusher

I try not to give them cash, who knows what they will spend it on.

@SnoopJ

OK that makes some sense.

Questionable Bigfoot Show Intro: "The history you were all taught is wrong. I'm Scott Wolter* and I'm a forensic geologist"

Excuse me a **WHAT**

What do "forensic geologists" do? Solve earthquake deaths and send the offending tectonic plate to prison?

Yeah... I'm not watching this.

*not "scott wolf" aparently

"but you have such a lovely door shaped head sweetie."

@WTL

You may resent your family for deciding that you had to be a dentist... but at least they didn't decide that you had to be a:

* Living water bag
* Door
* Circle Cutting Compass
* Glue Gun
* fungal filament surgeon.
* Professional egg producer
* Professional kidnapper

@lufthans

I thought it was... Swedish or Icelandic something.

No... when they get sick if they live they are proud of their immune system. If they die there is no one left to learn any lesson.

@WTL
The interesting thing is this means her older sisters *decided* that she needed to be this big for some reason.

Colonies will produce different types of workers to meet varied conditions.

I suspect she is large so that she can store food. Camponotus pennsylvanicus are related to "honeypot ants" and the larger ants can hold a lot of food in their social stomach. She's like a living smoothie truck for her sisters.

@WTL

No, they only grow in size as larvae ... when they "eclose" (that is come out of metamorphosis ) they have the body they will have for the rest of their life.

Unlike other kinds of insects, those that undergo metamorphosis do not grow and molt as they age.

@lufthans
What is "T'nic tau iid" ?

**I can hear her when she stomps around the outworld**

She is very serious about her job... whatever it is.

This is the largest Camponotus pennsylvanicus major I’ve ever seen maybe because this colony is so well fed and old, they’re producing some kind of extra large gigantic majors.

it’s hard to convey in a photo, but she is humongous. That’s not a queen that’s just the worker. #ants

@tsvga

dude can't make some soup or something for a month?

Also, I don't buy this at all. This is crybaby stuff.

@stephanbruijnis @Tendar

I don't think this being "for the better" is very likely at all.

And I'm starting to wonder if there is some tacit deal where we will find in some five years nothing has changed from the standpoint of anyone who isn't very very wealthy.

There was something so ... calm about it all. Expecting Maduro will end up under "house arrest" with few worries in life. And someone similar to him, but more agreeable to US business interests will take over.

@Brynawel @eclectech

mmm hm.

@eclectech

This is exactly how I imagine several people on here are in real life.

@golgaloth

I've been organizing my files and it's made me feel better because sometimes I feel like I'm "new to writing" and "have not written much" but this isn't really true.

I have tons and tons of stories and putting them in folders and reading them again is giving me more confidence.

Current candidates for working title for "The Novel I Can't Talk About Until It Is Done":

Pick the one that sounds the best?

This is a working title but those can end up sticking. I want to call the project something better than "The Novel I Can't Talk About Until It Is Done"

@zeux

I have always had the impression they didn't really like people asking questions all that much.

And if a question has been asked before then the old results are often helpful.
