Ant Ceramic Art on Etsy:
There are some really excellent pieces of art. Maaan if I were a rich person with a house with a place to put a $600 vase I know exactly which vase I would have. :

https://www.etsy.com/listing/4393721145/ceramic-sgraffito-bowl-with-ants?I just wanted someone else to look at the nice ant art. Maybe it will inspire YOU to make ant art.
Is a house really a home without some ants?
@futurebird Perhaps you should make Douglas Hofstadter aware of these bowls. I stumbled across a short video interview of him on YouTube, recently, and he said he is now more interested in art than science.

I found another remarkable ant vase. This one has a charming surprise inside.
It's a harvester ant!
Is it silly to have an ant making bread? I assure you it is not. Harvester ants crush the seeds they find and make them into a paste known as "ant bread" I suppose they don't bake it though...
Vase by Patricia Jones Jemez of Pueblo NM. She made many ant themed vases.

This is so cool! Thanks for sharing!

I think these nests show how they are related to other wasps. We just get to see the things that winged wasps make more often.
@futurebird oh yeah, absolutely! like, that's straight up mud dauber type stuff!

I once read the most interesting story online about a small town with a dark secret. Everyone in it looked like a human but was really some kind of bee or wasp.
Then a family of yellow jacket people moved in and everyone was suspicious of them.
But the "mud-dauber woman" had a pottery studio in the tiny downtown which I just thought was a charming little detail.

Oh this has suddenly reminded me of a movie, I think from the 90s, in which some intelligent bugs from the rainforest who are really good mimics, disguise themselves as human, to go live in a human town. I think the idea is that they want to do research on the creatures who are destroying their habitat. It was wuite an oddball film that stuck in my memory but I can't remember anything else about it. Let me think

Ants haven't figured out pottery that we know of yet. But they do sculpt clay:
Indian Harvester ants, Pheidole sykesii create levies around their nest entrance so that when it rains the flood waters do not enter, but rather flow around it while they stay dry underground.
They build in response to the water so you can tell which direction the water comes form during the rains based on the height of the walls.
@futurebird @goaty how tall do these levies go?

Ah it's this one. The review is not kind, maybe that's why I can't remember much else about it...

@futurebird @goaty Clever.

How do they make it dense enough to not wash away at the base? Surely ants aren’t heavy enough for effective particle compaction ?
!! Do they drywall-fit the grains together? @futurebird @goaty

I adore learning new things about nature.
I know some people are of the opinion that we can't fully explain life purely through DNA, and when you consider that these basic creatures are capable of this astonishing engineering in response to seasonal flooding, one can somewhat sympathise with their thinking.

@futurebird @goaty They need to go higher from those heavy rains and big floods!

I really identify with this commercial. Including the Barista's height 😆

Okay, FINE, here's the actual song:

But come on, the edit, it's hilarious! I think we're supposed to believe he's making actual cake in his mother's kitchen?
Note, whichever version you listen to, it's NECESSARY it be on a system with good, clearly audible bass. Do not rob yourself of this bassline.

What I'm listening to today: "Ghetto D", Master P
Master P put No Limit Records on the map, and made New Orleans the new capital of southern hip hop, with "Ghetto Dope", an *incredibly* catchy step-by-step guide to the production, distribution, and sale of crack cocaine. This unstoppable hit could not possibly get played on the radio, leading to this *incredibly* funny radio edit which is cut up to almost near illegibility making it sound like "Ghetto D" is a rapper

@EF Slowly, thank you for asking. We both hoped she could recover faster, but it seems to be quite slow. Nothing serious, but it looks like several factors are now coming into play together. This long flu has caused some other issues that, taken together, are making her almost unable to do a lot of things. This also affects my life, as I can’t leave her alone for long.
The last two days have been better. Let’s hope this trend continues and maybe even speeds up. There are three things I’d like to do in the coming months, and I still hope we’ll be able to experience all of them.

@aeva Yeah, I'm regretting a bit using "*professional* experience" in the question, since it does suggest paid work, which wasn't my intention. I wanted to differentiate from "user experience" and "developer experience", which are not the kind of "experience" I was asking about. "Work experience" might be a better term, since it can encompass both.
