While his dramatic and over the top videos are not really my cup of tea, he is undeniable passionate and knowledgeable about ants.
The biggest hurdle I've had is not the starting phase, but the time after the funding of the colony. Buying a terrarium and ant proofing it, are my main concerns.
What steps do you take, to ensure they stay in their home and what size of the terrarium is appropriate? -

Living space, breeding tube, local species (nuptial flight and feeding habits).
How did you get started with your first colony? -

There are a lot of themes to choose from and you can find something for almost every niche subject (you only have to know what to search for).
My favourite are currently 2 crows sitting on a tree, observing their surroundings.
Also the moonlight sonata playing with a full moon over a large body of water, which is perfect for taking a short and relaxing break.

We also have the 7th (the catapult), which I can not recommend at all. We removed it after a few tries, because it just does not fit in the with the rest of the game and mostly depends on luck.

A worthwhile read for SF enthusiasts. The world the author created, is very thorough and the only flaw I did not understand was one instance, where the protagonist completely changed his point of view from one sentence to the next.Next up is "Kindred", by Octavia Butler.
I read her Xenogenesis series, which completley blew my mind (her description of the ooloi as completely foreign to humanity, gives this series its charm) and is now one of my favourite books.As for popular scientific books (I usually read one scientific book and one book with story at the same time).
I finished "This is how democracies die" by Steven Levitsky and Daniel Ziblatt.
Currently I am reading "The victory of capital" by Ulrike Herrmann. I did not read anything about capitalism before and I was told this book captures its essence very well. -

It is a short, but beautiful little piece of art, it manages to convey its ambience very well, which is probably thanks to forego any sort of spoken dialogue (as @kfwyre already explained)

The one in England has 16 mutations (which is very much in such a short time) and is already responsible for 60% of the corona infections in London.
They don't know much about it yet, but it is expected to spread much more easily than the original strang. Otherwise, it seems to stay close to the original and they are hopeful that the vaccine still works.In response to that other countries (e.g. wales, germany, france) locked down their airports.
This brings out the fear of the virus again and what this could mean for the new year
Edit: There are already cases with the english mutation reported in some european countries

As the title suggests, I am lookimg for the name of an existing boardgame.
Some time ago (months), there was a discussion about boardgame recommendations. One person described a very interesting boardgame, which I wanted to gift my family for christmas, but I sadly closed the tab with it and I can't find the original post anymore.The game goes as follows:
One player builds a construct with different shapes and colours according to certain guidelines. The other players now have to find the rules, which the presentated construct follows, by building their own construct and getting feedback from the gamemaster, if it fulfills their guidelines.According to the poster, this game was originally a game a group of friends played in college, it became so popular that they created a sellable version. Recently they revamped it.
P.S. I am not really familiar with this kind of post, so if I did anything wrong, some feedback would be nice.
P.P.S. Is there some kind of function (maybe through tags?) to mark this post as solved, if hopefully someone managed to recognise the game?

Red and blue are often used to represent male and female sex (nowadays, pink is heavily marketed towards "girly stuff").
I would then understand her blue state as her physical body (ergo male sex), since it is physically impossible for a human body to perfom multiple jumps.
Her gender might then be pink and red her personality. Since the personality incoperates both her mental gender and her physical sex, but is still in the female colour spectrum.
My interprwtation is still a bit unclear about the difference between red and pink, but this would make sense to me on the first look.

This forces my body to yawn continiously and making it tired, which makes falling asleep much easier.
Another thing that helps sometimes are deep controlled breaths and letting my whole body relax with every breath.
When nothing works I just read a book, until I can't hold my eyes open anymore (nothing too exciting). This way the night does not feel completely wasted.

- She is a good and dependable politician
- showed that she can make decisions by herself (not always the puppet of her party)
- listens to the general public (nuclear exit)
- people pleaser (she makes these decisions only to get votes; kinda dumb imo, to critize this instead of being happy that she does them)
- while she listens to the public (point above), she does not execute them thoroughly enough (climate goals)
- appears too weak (trying to hold status quo with foreign countries and not holding her ground)
- not standing her ground against american influence (Snowden, nordstream 2, military bases)
-still influenced by lobbies (coal, vw) - still too close to conservative ideals (gay marriage)
All in all she is viewed as a respectable politician and while she has still a lot of flaws, she is definetly the best candidate the CDU has to offer and a good choice to represent germany.

The reminiscence could take place by him talking about his past and his inner demon antagonising him, thus forming a dialogue between them.
I had one person with a similar allergy back in school. Found that out when a few girls sprayed a full load of Deo in the classroom and he had to leave the room.
