Which memory did you get mate?

 

[silversurfer]

I'm interested in the idea of TV and Monitors converging at least a bit. Would like a 4K tv that also does 120hz or more at a lower res maybe

 

[Eurofighter]

Not sure if I want 4k or ultrawide. If 4k monitors went above 60hz.

@V E.

I like them a lot better than my AKG 550s and were around the same price ( £125), and "out of the box" I'm very happy with the sound quality , although I do add a little bass to them when on BF4

 

[Jony27]

New card holder.
Barely carried cash the last few years so it's about time I got one of these. Only holds my debit card and drivers license. Means I can't hoard any receipts either!

Not so much purchased, but acquired these little guys from a friend, still in hibernation atm.
Myrmica Rubra, european Fire Ants.
5 queens, could be 5000+ of them in a year or two

Interesting. What is the thing they are in? Looks like a CPU block. Where are the queens? Where will they go?

The queens are only slightly larger in this species (the butts are noticeably bigger), theres one on the top left tip of water sponge part the others you can see if you look close.
They are in an antkit acrylic nest, it's a starter nest for very small colonies and will be rehoused once they come out of hibernation into a larger one like this......

and so on as the colony grows, they are also connected to a small outworld where i put food for them.
Currently they eat chopped in half mealworms (you can see half of one on the right with a workers butt stuck out of it) tuna and there favourite which is strawberries, once they reach 100+ workers they reach a change point and become VERY aggressive, then they will get livefood (crickets/waxworms etc)

I thought it was a CPU block too before I read

 

[Phate]

Why the ants? just a general interest or have an overall longterm goal?

 

[breadturbo]

Something different to a yappy little rodent like the rest of the street has

I also have various tarantulas, but when I post 8"+ spiders people on here cry

World domination, one ant at a time... (vote to rename breadturbo antman?)

 

[topgun06]

Where will the live eventually when they outgrow the acrylic nest??

Ill purchase a couple of aerated concrete blocks from a local building supplier, and hollow out passages with the dremel.
It will end up similar to this.......

Ytong is great for ants as you can place it in a pan of water, and it absorbs water via capillary action, so the ants can put what they want where they want according to humidity.
