How do. npub1w6hdkemeheu83td6ylaw4l42rl3j59pch2zccvv909n78zy6245q6fzeq2 llewelly @nprofile…pfuj Myrmostenus Emery, 1920 npub1w6hdkemeheu83td6ylaw4l42rl3j59pch2zccvv909n78zy6245q6fzeq2 llewelly @nprofile…pfuj I wonder if any were originally genus names in their own right? npub1w6hdkemeheu83td6ylaw4l42rl3j59pch2zccvv909n78zy6245q6fzeq2 llewelly @nprofile…pfuj in paleontological names, "pro" as a prefix often means that at the time of naming, the animal was hypothesized to be a near-ancestor of the animal prefixed; Procompsognathus was hypothesized to be a near-ancestor of Compsognathus (err ... that didn't work out so well), and Proceratosaurus was hypothesized to be a near-ancestor of Ceratosaurus (nope ... the first is a tyrannosaurid, the second is not). npub1w6hdkemeheu83td6ylaw4l42rl3j59pch2zccvv909n78zy6245q6fzeq2 llewelly @nprofile…pfuj it's a xenomorph name. npub1w6hdkemeheu83td6ylaw4l42rl3j59pch2zccvv909n78zy6245q6fzeq2 llewelly @nprofile…pfuj sure, there are plenty more animals in a city than pigeons and rats. But coyotes are sneaky and hard to spot. And some of them know how to pretend to act like an ordinary dog, at least at a distance. But most of all, they are mainly active an hour or so before sunrise, when humans are the least likely to be even awake, and probably groggy and unaware of their surroundings. I don't find it all surprising that most people never see coyotes. npub1w6hdkemeheu83td6ylaw4l42rl3j59pch2zccvv909n78zy6245q6fzeq2 llewelly @nprofile…pfuj for an indoor cat like Pica, maybe that's true, but for any cat that goes outside at night, it's not; they must face raccoons regularly. Both animals strongly prefer the same types of cover, and the same types of human-distributed garbage, food, and shelter. npub1w6hdkemeheu83td6ylaw4l42rl3j59pch2zccvv909n78zy6245q6fzeq2 llewelly @nprofile…pfuj every time I mention ladybird beetles a neighbor of mine will say "those thiings bite and it hurts". She used to say "the asian lady beetles bite and it hurts" until she got tired of me informing her that the american ones also bite. npub1w6hdkemeheu83td6ylaw4l42rl3j59pch2zccvv909n78zy6245q6fzeq2 llewelly americans need to eat more real food because integer food doesn't contain enough irrationality. npub1w6hdkemeheu83td6ylaw4l42rl3j59pch2zccvv909n78zy6245q6fzeq2 llewelly @nprofile…pfuj @nprofile…vvgx but then, why make drugs for the ants? Do the ants provide some sort of (incidental?) protection for the wasp larvae? npub1w6hdkemeheu83td6ylaw4l42rl3j59pch2zccvv909n78zy6245q6fzeq2 llewelly @nprofile…pfuj maybe the ants mob the wasp because it broods in ant queens. npub1w6hdkemeheu83td6ylaw4l42rl3j59pch2zccvv909n78zy6245q6fzeq2 llewelly @nprofile…pfuj chatbots of dead people are the digital equivalent of hiring an Elvis impersonator to wear a suit made from the skin of the dead person (who wasn't Elvis) and impersonate them based on second-hand descriptions. npub1w6hdkemeheu83td6ylaw4l42rl3j59pch2zccvv909n78zy6245q6fzeq2 llewelly @nprofile…pfuj npub1w6hdkemeheu83td6ylaw4l42rl3j59pch2zccvv909n78zy6245q6fzeq2 llewelly @nprofile…pfuj maybe you should start a campaign to have New York adopted an official state ant. Allegedly, many official state emblems started as student campaigns with teacher guide ants. npub1w6hdkemeheu83td6ylaw4l42rl3j59pch2zccvv909n78zy6245q6fzeq2 llewelly @nprofile…pfuj did Pica get your laptop again? npub1w6hdkemeheu83td6ylaw4l42rl3j59pch2zccvv909n78zy6245q6fzeq2 llewelly @nprofile…pfuj Tetraethyllead didn't self-improve, and yet, for a time, it took over the world. npub1w6hdkemeheu83td6ylaw4l42rl3j59pch2zccvv909n78zy6245q6fzeq2 llewelly @nprofile…pfuj there was definitely an era during which taxonomy was culturally gamified, and characters like Charles Rothschild, Othniel Charles Marsh, Edward Drinker Cope, Florentino Ameghino, and others, all competed for who could describe the mostest the fastest. And much confusion resulted. npub1w6hdkemeheu83td6ylaw4l42rl3j59pch2zccvv909n78zy6245q6fzeq2 llewelly @nprofile…pfuj "junk bin taxa" happen when taxonomists are too exhausted to slice and dice "species" any further. npub1w6hdkemeheu83td6ylaw4l42rl3j59pch2zccvv909n78zy6245q6fzeq2 llewelly @nprofile…pfuj from the time eastern Roman empire fell to the Ottoman turks (1400s, approximately) until about the early 20th century (so, nearly 600 years), "The Orient" included everything from the Ottoman empire eastward. And thus, much of what is now viewed as eastern Europe. Along with many other bad ideas, Orientalism came with very lumpy concepts. npub1w6hdkemeheu83td6ylaw4l42rl3j59pch2zccvv909n78zy6245q6fzeq2 llewelly @nprofile…pfuj well, screwfly is likely to drive up the prices of traditional barbecuing meats, such as cow. Maybe USAians need to get ready to barbecue mealworms. npub1w6hdkemeheu83td6ylaw4l42rl3j59pch2zccvv909n78zy6245q6fzeq2 llewelly @nprofile…pfuj npub1w6hdkemeheu83td6ylaw4l42rl3j59pch2zccvv909n78zy6245q6fzeq2 llewelly @nprofile…pfuj ants see you as a keeper npub1w6hdkemeheu83td6ylaw4l42rl3j59pch2zccvv909n78zy6245q6fzeq2 llewelly @nprofile…galm I mean ... npub1w6hdkemeheu83td6ylaw4l42rl3j59pch2zccvv909n78zy6245q6fzeq2 llewelly @nprofile…pfuj honestly it's weird to be reminded that I'm old enough to recall when water in mall fountains was normal rather than weird. In the west a whole generation grew up thinking they were just strange sculptures for collecting dust. npub1w6hdkemeheu83td6ylaw4l42rl3j59pch2zccvv909n78zy6245q6fzeq2 llewelly @nprofile…pfuj how many bugs did she eat while you weren't looking? npub1w6hdkemeheu83td6ylaw4l42rl3j59pch2zccvv909n78zy6245q6fzeq2 llewelly @nprofile…pfuj it's an old antchrist joke ... npub1w6hdkemeheu83td6ylaw4l42rl3j59pch2zccvv909n78zy6245q6fzeq2 llewelly @nprofile…pfuj wasn't Jesus a Camponotus? Maybe that has something to do with it. npub1w6hdkemeheu83td6ylaw4l42rl3j59pch2zccvv909n78zy6245q6fzeq2 llewelly @nprofile…pfuj but surely there are rap experts in your neighborhood, who could help you make a great epic rap saga out of it. npub1w6hdkemeheu83td6ylaw4l42rl3j59pch2zccvv909n78zy6245q6fzeq2 llewelly @nprofile…pfuj do your ants require live fruit flies, or does "killed with electron radiation a few hours ago" count as "fresh"? npub1w6hdkemeheu83td6ylaw4l42rl3j59pch2zccvv909n78zy6245q6fzeq2 llewelly sometimes you will hear a legend that all the unique and special animals from Oz were loaded into a magic ark to preserve them, and it crashed in the mountains of Arkansas, and that's why those mountains are called the Ozark mountains. Unfortunately today I learned this legend isn't true. npub1w6hdkemeheu83td6ylaw4l42rl3j59pch2zccvv909n78zy6245q6fzeq2 llewelly @nprofile…pfuj those lower canines are in great shape. npub1w6hdkemeheu83td6ylaw4l42rl3j59pch2zccvv909n78zy6245q6fzeq2 llewelly when you microwave a potato properly, it comes out very hot. npub1w6hdkemeheu83td6ylaw4l42rl3j59pch2zccvv909n78zy6245q6fzeq2 llewelly they say we live not in the future, but in the present, but they don't talk about how our present is a dead giraffe hollowed out by legions of previous hyenas, and we don't know why the hyenas didn't eat the bones. npub1w6hdkemeheu83td6ylaw4l42rl3j59pch2zccvv909n78zy6245q6fzeq2 llewelly slowly, corporations are finding out some jobs can't be replaced by markov chains that talk like joseph Goebbels. npub1w6hdkemeheu83td6ylaw4l42rl3j59pch2zccvv909n78zy6245q6fzeq2 llewelly @nprofile…pfuj "ant jambi" sounds like a desert meant to feed a pangolin. npub1w6hdkemeheu83td6ylaw4l42rl3j59pch2zccvv909n78zy6245q6fzeq2 llewelly been experiencing a puzzling factor of 3 reduction in hearing in my left ear, but then I went for a short 20 minute walk outside and decided the world is still way too goddamn loud and therefore solving the hearing issue isn't desirable. npub1w6hdkemeheu83td6ylaw4l42rl3j59pch2zccvv909n78zy6245q6fzeq2 llewelly @nprofile…pfuj well they don't all have the same setae stylist. Nor the same dentist. But they might have the same mother. npub1w6hdkemeheu83td6ylaw4l42rl3j59pch2zccvv909n78zy6245q6fzeq2 llewelly @nprofile…pfuj @nprofile…twve on the other hand, imagine, 66 millions of years ago, the continent of N. America, briefly after having been rendered nearly ant-free by collision with space rock, available for practically any ant that shows up, few or no competitors or predators to suppress incipient invasions, imagine all the exciting arrivals who came, contested, and ruled their small space for a few short years, only to be replaced by the next wave ... npub1w6hdkemeheu83td6ylaw4l42rl3j59pch2zccvv909n78zy6245q6fzeq2 llewelly my problem with AI is not so much that they don't have skin in the game, it's that they got the skin by scraping the entire fuckin' internet ... npub1w6hdkemeheu83td6ylaw4l42rl3j59pch2zccvv909n78zy6245q6fzeq2 llewelly @nprofile…pfuj in olden days weed-whacking evolved to create landscapes which drained the souls of passersbys, whose souls were then provided unto Arioch, Lord of Chaos, for his divine feasting. But in these latter days, genAI users provide souls in vastly more copious volumes, so I don't understand why anyone bothers with weed-whacking. npub1w6hdkemeheu83td6ylaw4l42rl3j59pch2zccvv909n78zy6245q6fzeq2 llewelly @nprofile…pfuj datacenter expansions happening in both cities at about the same time. Coincidence? Maybe. npub1w6hdkemeheu83td6ylaw4l42rl3j59pch2zccvv909n78zy6245q6fzeq2 llewelly @nprofile…pfuj I don't even know which movie it is from. npub1w6hdkemeheu83td6ylaw4l42rl3j59pch2zccvv909n78zy6245q6fzeq2 llewelly @nprofile…pfuj that ant is missing two legs and two of the legs it does have are coming from the wrong place. It looks all wrong. npub1w6hdkemeheu83td6ylaw4l42rl3j59pch2zccvv909n78zy6245q6fzeq2 llewelly @nprofile…pfuj npub1w6hdkemeheu83td6ylaw4l42rl3j59pch2zccvv909n78zy6245q6fzeq2 llewelly @nprofile…pfuj imagine the science reporting headlines of the far future: "Thousands of years ago, humans debated the safety and morality of feeding raccoons. Then the Anthropocene ended, and humans went extinct. Could there be a connection?" npub1w6hdkemeheu83td6ylaw4l42rl3j59pch2zccvv909n78zy6245q6fzeq2 llewelly @nprofile…pfuj @nprofile…r2dc clearly, the tube should be lilac with black stripes. npub1w6hdkemeheu83td6ylaw4l42rl3j59pch2zccvv909n78zy6245q6fzeq2 llewelly @nprofile…pfuj do you use tweezers? npub1w6hdkemeheu83td6ylaw4l42rl3j59pch2zccvv909n78zy6245q6fzeq2 llewelly @nprofile…pfuj welp. A distribution unexplicable by Gondwanaland. Gotta be migratory birds, or humans. Or both. npub1w6hdkemeheu83td6ylaw4l42rl3j59pch2zccvv909n78zy6245q6fzeq2 llewelly @nprofile…pfuj everytime someone uses "caveman" as an insult, Senator Palpatine cackles and says "Yes. Yes.

What the fuck, buddy, really? npub1w6hdkemeheu83td6ylaw4l42rl3j59pch2zccvv909n78zy6245q6fzeq2 llewelly @nprofile…tkx6 I love space exploration, but having the trump administration take credit for something like this is the last thing we need. npub1w6hdkemeheu83td6ylaw4l42rl3j59pch2zccvv909n78zy6245q6fzeq2 llewelly @nprofile…pfuj capitalism demands confusion, because it is run by people who believe confused people are more likely to buy things they wouldn't otherwise buy. npub1w6hdkemeheu83td6ylaw4l42rl3j59pch2zccvv909n78zy6245q6fzeq2 llewelly @nprofile…pfuj you should follow this up with an announcement that you've taken up interest in the social spiders of the Pacific Northwest. npub1w6hdkemeheu83td6ylaw4l42rl3j59pch2zccvv909n78zy6245q6fzeq2 llewelly @nprofile…pfuj the name sounds like the kind of sound an angry kitty cat would make. npub1w6hdkemeheu83td6ylaw4l42rl3j59pch2zccvv909n78zy6245q6fzeq2 llewelly you say you take nap but in middle age nap takes you! npub1w6hdkemeheu83td6ylaw4l42rl3j59pch2zccvv909n78zy6245q6fzeq2 llewelly @nprofile…pfuj Mouserlini made the mice run on time?? npub1w6hdkemeheu83td6ylaw4l42rl3j59pch2zccvv909n78zy6245q6fzeq2 llewelly @nprofile…l0qc according to modern paleoanthropological hypotheseses, teens and twenty-somethings evolved to stay up late and defend the tribe against lions who prowl the Savannah at night, while thirty-somethings evolved to wake up early get eaten by terror birds who got up early to hunt worms but were willing to accept primates as a substitute. npub1w6hdkemeheu83td6ylaw4l42rl3j59pch2zccvv909n78zy6245q6fzeq2 llewelly @nprofile…pfuj Make him repair the Central Park paleonotological models Benjamin Waterhouse Hawkins made for the planned Paleozoic Museum of Central Park. npub1w6hdkemeheu83td6ylaw4l42rl3j59pch2zccvv909n78zy6245q6fzeq2 llewelly @nprofile…pfuj huh, I have a dreamcast in need of a an audio visual cable (whose specifics I don't know) that will connect to a display I actually have access to, or some kind of adaptor thereof, if you think you can find such a cable faster than the technology packrats I actually live with, who have so far taken over a month to find an appropriate cable, which they are sure they own. npub1w6hdkemeheu83td6ylaw4l42rl3j59pch2zccvv909n78zy6245q6fzeq2 llewelly the type specimen of Massospondylus was also lost in WWII, but somehow it's not as famous as Spinosaurus. npub1w6hdkemeheu83td6ylaw4l42rl3j59pch2zccvv909n78zy6245q6fzeq2 llewelly @nprofile…pfuj Rachel Carson died an untimely death, but funny how they never include her in these lists. npub1w6hdkemeheu83td6ylaw4l42rl3j59pch2zccvv909n78zy6245q6fzeq2 llewelly @nprofile…pfuj sadly, this is precisely the kind of joke we all share when in our heart of hearts, we know trump's view of Iran is precisely what kushner, that stooge of bibi's , put into his head. npub1w6hdkemeheu83td6ylaw4l42rl3j59pch2zccvv909n78zy6245q6fzeq2 llewelly elon musk, he promised Mars, npub1w6hdkemeheu83td6ylaw4l42rl3j59pch2zccvv909n78zy6245q6fzeq2 llewelly @nprofile…pfuj then things break out and move fast npub1w6hdkemeheu83td6ylaw4l42rl3j59pch2zccvv909n78zy6245q6fzeq2 llewelly @nprofile…tkx6 wonderful. npub1w6hdkemeheu83td6ylaw4l42rl3j59pch2zccvv909n78zy6245q6fzeq2 llewelly from one perspective, this is true, but from a different perspective, at the same time, calling "AI" skills "just documentation" is also a cruel and horrible insult to all good documentation and everyone who ever tried to write good docs ... npub1w6hdkemeheu83td6ylaw4l42rl3j59pch2zccvv909n78zy6245q6fzeq2 llewelly @nprofile…pfuj it has definitely been my experience that one can overdo math practice.

Two cheerios at the same time! npub1w6hdkemeheu83td6ylaw4l42rl3j59pch2zccvv909n78zy6245q6fzeq2 llewelly me, trying to go to sleep: "oh, it might be nice to have some blankets over me, that might help me sleep" npub1w6hdkemeheu83td6ylaw4l42rl3j59pch2zccvv909n78zy6245q6fzeq2 llewelly I am way behind on my podcast listenings, so far behind there's even a new episode of tetzoo podcats out, how is that possible? npub1w6hdkemeheu83td6ylaw4l42rl3j59pch2zccvv909n78zy6245q6fzeq2 llewelly @nprofile…pfuj evolution: It can't work miracles, it just does the best that it can. npub1w6hdkemeheu83td6ylaw4l42rl3j59pch2zccvv909n78zy6245q6fzeq2 llewelly @nprofile…pfuj when I was a child they always told us that if we learned Latin we'd always understand scientific terminology, but in practice it more often gives me a "yeah, thanks for nothing, you jerk" towards whoever gave the thing its scientific name. (Humorous exageration here.) npub1w6hdkemeheu83td6ylaw4l42rl3j59pch2zccvv909n78zy6245q6fzeq2 llewelly @nprofile…pfuj @nprofile…7lqa @nprofile…w2cy wow. Never have I encountered a shop that allowed tasting flavors without buying. npub1w6hdkemeheu83td6ylaw4l42rl3j59pch2zccvv909n78zy6245q6fzeq2 llewelly @nprofile…pfuj yep. Born in February, occasionally reminded that isn't birthday season. I hate birthdays, thanks. npub1w6hdkemeheu83td6ylaw4l42rl3j59pch2zccvv909n78zy6245q6fzeq2 llewelly @nprofile…pfuj I'm old enough to recall when "bomb cyclone" was an obscure meteorological phrase the media shied away from because they feared terminology they didn't understand. Now they love terminology they don't understand. npub1w6hdkemeheu83td6ylaw4l42rl3j59pch2zccvv909n78zy6245q6fzeq2 llewelly @nprofile…tkx6 fair point! npub1w6hdkemeheu83td6ylaw4l42rl3j59pch2zccvv909n78zy6245q6fzeq2 llewelly @nprofile…pfuj hey, some of my best friends are trains. npub1w6hdkemeheu83td6ylaw4l42rl3j59pch2zccvv909n78zy6245q6fzeq2 llewelly @nprofile…pfuj @nprofile…dymp npub1w6hdkemeheu83td6ylaw4l42rl3j59pch2zccvv909n78zy6245q6fzeq2 llewelly @nprofile…pfuj In both cases it seems to me the fruiting body would produce spores, and given the right weather conditions, those spores could potentially find a new colony of either appropriate termites in the first case or appropriate ants in the second case. A last-ditch effort to continue, if you will. If this can't work for some reason - I would like to know why. npub1w6hdkemeheu83td6ylaw4l42rl3j59pch2zccvv909n78zy6245q6fzeq2 llewelly @nprofile…pfuj meanwhile most places west of the rockies are 15 F to 20 F above normal. Or even more!
