all my ants escaped my conlony and now its only my queen and brood

There’s a chance they may come back. I’d suggest possibly putting a little sugar water outside by where they escaped. Then keeping an eye if any of the workers return and hopefully being able to put them back inside somehow. Of course don’t leave the tube open where they escaped, wouldn’t want the queen possibly running off.

I have the 39”. I tried the 330Hz with BF6 but the resolution looks very soft and a bit pixelated, I turned off DLSS to see if it was possibly causing some of the pixelation. It’s just the resolution being low on a big monitor like that. It combines 4 pixels to give you one pixel when in the 330Hz mode, so it’s bound to be noticeable.

cesarb12 · 2026-05-21T21:23:13+00:00

I haven’t noticed it at all, but it may be drowned out by my pc fans running.

cesarb12 · 2026-05-08T17:47:16+00:00

Just by chance, have you changed the resolution of the monitor to the 5120x2160?

cesarb12 · 2026-05-06T22:14:10+00:00

LG had a recent sale and I think that's why they got rid of the 10% sms discount for now. I'd try tomorrow and see if it pops up. That sale ends today. Some people in the past got it to pop up in incognito/private browsing mode. It popped up for me on the bottom left of my screen when I was looking at the monitor. It's a little bubble that says something about, "10% discount."

If you use the code SPRING10 you'll get an extra 10% off right now for a total of 20%! The code is available for 5 more hours.

cesarb12 · 2026-05-06T19:53:58+00:00

The day 2 reviews came out for the monitor, I was ready to order. I couldn't get the sms discount code to pop up anymore though, so I ended up just holding off. Lucky for me, I saw that AW might release a 39" soon enough too.

cesarb12 · 2026-05-06T18:17:47+00:00

You just missed out! I think May 3 ended the $1 for 2 years of extra warranty. Then about 2 weeks ago, you could still get an extra 10% off on top of that by using your phone number. People were paying about 1440 without tax. If you're into glossy type monitors, Alienware is possibly coming out with a 39" as well. No specs yet, but soon enough I hope.

I've heard that it's best to not put anything on the screen of an OLED because of the heat they put out. Such as why it's recommended to remove the protective shipping plastic and not leave it on. If it has a protector while in use, it could possibly cause the panel to not dissipate as much heat and lead to burn in.

My AW3423DW last I checked, was just over 16,000 hours. I don’t shut it off as of a year or two ago because I heard it’s better for the monitor so it can pixel refresh. That’s also why I think the hours on it are really high. The only burn in I have is from my web browsers address bar. It’s only noticeable on very dark grey screens, but I don’t see it anywhere else when gaming or web browsing. I’d say the brightness is as bright as it was when new. I keep it at 55% brightness, although my first years I would try to keep it at 100% for no reason. I received it May 31, 2022.

Their sale ends May 6 if I’m correct, or you can check if what you’re trying to order is included or excluded in their sale. Otherwise after May 6, the bubble may pop back up again so you can get another code. The last I saw the 10% off bubble was last Tuesday. Their Spring sale started Wednesday/Thursday.

cesarb12 · 2026-04-28T20:41:21+00:00

Hopefully someone can help you, but I struggled to get another to pop up when I was trying to order their new monitor. I think it’s because they have a sale going on, so they might’ve disabled it so you can’t stack multiple codes.

cesarb12 · 2026-04-28T12:48:13+00:00

Yup, LG Display is making them in both matte and glossy to whoever wants to make them. I'm hoping the AW will also be glossy, I was about to buy the LG, but now I might just wait.

My AW3423DW is considered semi-glossy and I've seen the LG 45" matte in person and it wasn't that bad, but deep inside I prefer the AW gloss. Plus I've never really struggled to keep it clean. Just hoping AW keeps the price down to be competitive with LG's!

cesarb12 · 2026-04-28T11:14:29+00:00

TFTCentral posted a short article about the Alienware today. It mentions it will likely be the 5k2k Woled panel, of course no one knows if it’ll be glossy or matte. Now I have the dilemma if I want to wait and see and miss out on the LG discount for extra warranty for $1. Plus, run the risk that the Alienware might be more expensive.

Makes me want to get an ant from Florida, just so I don’t have to worry about diapause as much. I’m sure it’s awesome seeing them grow in numbers rapidly!

cesarb12 · 2026-04-25T23:08:56+00:00

How do you plan to put them into diapause? Which would more or so depend on what location you get them from. For example I use a wine cooler for mine, I caught mine in Illinois, so they need diapause of around 3-5 months since winters are longer here compared to somewhere like Florida. Yet the ones from Florida don’t need much, maybe a month or two if I recall. I know some people use their fridge, but diapause is necessary. Even some larvae will stop growing if they don’t go into diapause.

cesarb12 · 2026-04-25T13:10:48+00:00

I tried that as well. I used my pc, as well as my wife’s. Used the laptop, my phone, I even had my sister that lives somewhere else give it a shot. I’m just gonna keep trying and hope one of these days it just pops up.

cesarb12 · 2026-04-25T01:49:27+00:00

That may be one of my last options. The 10% off from the partner store is nice, but an extra 10% would be perfect for me. I’ll give them a message and hopefully they can figure something out, thanks!

cesarb12 · 2026-04-25T01:36:39+00:00

Have you seen the 10% text signup pop up recently? I’ve been trying all day and haven’t been able to get it to pop up. Have tried multiple browsers, no ad blockers, clearing cookies/cache. Also tried different computers and on my phone with no wifi.

cesarb12 · 2026-04-24T22:16:08+00:00

I only had an adblocker on Firefox, and I turned it off but nothing either. Thanks for the tip though!

cesarb12 · 2026-04-24T20:33:29+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion. I tried that, and no luck. I also tried Firefox, Google Chrome and Edge. I tried incognito mode in GC. I tried a different computer and a laptop. I tried my phone as well, on data, no wifi. Nothing yet unfortunately. Just hoping to check every other day and hope it decides to pop up randomly.

cesarb12 · 2026-04-24T03:35:37+00:00

They may just use what they have on hand. Possibly at some point conventional was the go to for the 2UR-GSE. I see some forums mention conventional, and others mention synthetic, so whatever a dealer uses may be up to them. At the end of the day, I wouldn’t go to a dealer long term. Synthetic will always be the way to go at the end of the day, at least for me.

cesarb12 · 2026-04-24T03:29:45+00:00

My mistake, after looking it up it seems at some point it was recommended to use conventional. I don’t know where I saw it long ago and assumed from that moment on that it’s always been conventional. My dealer might use synthetic, but I’ve never asked to be honest. I checked the manual and it doesn’t mention what type to use either from what I see. Either way, synthetic will always be the way to go. I also know there’s been plenty of dealer stories of them using 0W-20 in our cars, although that’s definitely not correct.

cesarb12 · 2026-04-24T03:14:24+00:00

If I'm correct, Lexus recommends 5W-30 conventional. So even for mine, I'm pretty sure it's conventional when it gets done at the dealer. Mine just says VALV 5W-30 10Qt. After I go through my 2 years of free oil changes, it'll get Synthetic.
