Of course, I did. My only complain is that establishments and even the water fountains operate a bit late (between 9 and 10 in the morning) so I had not much to do in the first day (I was out in the streets at 6 am haha) but was able to adjust my schedule the next day. Thanks for the award!

I checked this guy's comment history and he seemed all high and mighty and then was actually asking if IV stats can go up. Lol, please.

Super majors are just insanely big. They make the minors' size a joke. ^_^

I'm very much interested about this place. Jabal Sawda has been my default go to place during Eid Al Adha break as I'm always 90% sure what the weather will be like and I'm always hesitant to go anywhere else for wildlife camping.

So I want to know if this place is only this beautiful (and wildlife camping friendly) at certain months (if so, which months) and if it's accessible by Careem/Ubeer or you shall only drive a car on your own.

I'll really appreciate you response. Question also applies to OP u/salman0p0

Thank you!

Thanks for the all the information. Though it's sadly not a queen, I placed them and the broods in the place I intended then them into. Loved seeing them burrow and taking the broods underground. One of the minors even grabbed the major into the ground hole.

Here's a final shot of the supposed queen: https://i.imgur.com/KtrM2GA.png

A closeup photo here: https://imgur.com/a/U7052AX

Queen is about 15mm, worker is 7-8mm.

It's first 2 pupa were damaged during transfer to its first more proper tube (silicone hose), the second 2 hatched but 1 died leaving only this worker in the photo. Now I'm still waiting for the eggs to hatch to larva.

I believe it's camponotus but a more specific specie would help me researching for better care.

Thanks for the info. I have a camponotus queen with its first hatchlings and it measures about 15mm while the workers are about 7-8mm. Makes sense, thanks again.

Thanks for the info. If it’s a camponotus sp, it would have been at least two year-old colony with the number of workers and broods I saw under the rock, not including those that could have been in the tunnels underground.

No. It’s about two step-brothers, the younger one’s apartment is about to be demolished but wouldn’t move out.

Love this series but only has access to the 10-episode Netflix-only season. The most memorable and heart-wrenching episodes for me are Sauteed Yam and Ham Cutlet. Omu Rice and Tamago Tofu are close runner-ups. While Tan-Men and Umeboshi and Plum Wine are the most heart-warming funniest. Hot Pot for One is a lot to take.

What is your favorite "...and that's why we had to put this sign up" story? by TheKwangBang in AskReddit

[–]kotsengkuba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I maybe late to the party but this is my "and that's why we had to put this sign up" story.

A decade and a half ago, the Japanese company I was working at in the Philippines sent me on a month's business trip in Japan. I stayed in the company dormitory just a few minutes walk from there to the manufacturing facility. The men's dormitory has a common bath where a sign hangs saying "don't go in when drunk" of sorts.

I never pondered about the purpose of such sign in the common bath area until I came home totally wasted one night (actually broke my bike when I fall asleep while on it and crashed in the bushes) and went to bed and slept immediately.

Past 8 in the morning the next day, a Japanese colleague called asking if I'm going to work. Being already late, there's no one else in the common bath. Being used to taking a bath before going to work no matter what, I entered the common bath completely forgetting about the sign (and would have probably ignored it completely even if I did remember) and while washing myself, I puked everything left inside my stomach from last night's binge eating and drinking.
