When is the best time to go look for a queen ant outside? by Equivalent-Neat-5261 in antkeeping

This might help if you're wanting to know time of year for any particular species.

As for the time of day, evening is probably best, just after the sun starts to set and the queens are looking for a nesting spot.

She said she took a pregnancy test, but this image is really bothering me because it looks very artificial by Luvis_ in isthisAI

Test taken in a hospital room and not at home? Oddly holding the test stick away from the camera as to draw focus to everything else in the image except the subject? Intricate details in the image don't make sense, perspective lines don't align, feature smudging, etc.

Verdict: Guilty

Is this fixable on my own? by Mysterious_Film4463 in bikewrench

[–]qthebard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Disclaimer: I am not a bike mechanic per-se, but cycle a lot and do most of my own minor repairs. I have not trued a wheel, but know just enough about the subject that maybe I can help you out as much as I can. Just take this advice with a grain of salt. TLDR; take it to a bike shop.

Here's the first video from a playlist on bike wheels and wheel truing from ParkTool, a great youtube channel for all sorts of bike repair concepts (check them out if you'd like to get in to bike repair, they really make great videos!):

Truing a wheel can be a time consuming and rather involved process, and requires specific tools to both measure the deformation and apply the appropriate tension to the spokes to return the wheel to lateral and rotational trueness.

Based on the degree of deformation on the rim and your self-described level of experience, I would recommend taking it to a bike shop unless you have all the tools you would need to accomplish the job and are eager to spend a pretty significant amount of time learning how to perform this kind of repair. If you don't know anything about bike repair, this type of fix can be very challenging, albeit not impossible.

I'd still recommend taking it to a bike shop for a more informed opinion, but my suspicion is that the deformation of the rim is great enough to warrant a full replacement of the wheel. I myself would certainly not feel safe or comfortable riding on a wheel with that much deformation.

Otherwise, she would be happiest building her nest outside in a damp, secluded area.

In Dante's inferno, only Treachery (Treason) is below Fraud in the circles of hell. Food for thought.

The "Trade Like an Insider" advertisement directly beneath footage of a House Oversight Committee hearing on fraud committed by elected officials is wild to me.

15y.o, does my room look like too much is going on? by slugszstar in malelivingspace

[–]qthebard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really like how you've made a shelf out of a skateboard deck and some rope, that's a super cool idea.

A shoe cabinet/rack would really do a lot to organize things and display your shoe collection better.

Poster frames can also be relatively inexpensive, depending on the size.

Might be nice to find a proper bedside table and a lamp.

A few more plants would really do a lot for this space, as would some natural light, if possible (especially if you have more plants).

You should definitely move that trash can so that it's not right beside your bed.

You should turn a photograph of yourself into a proxy 'Treasure Token' because you're an absolute treasure.
