I thought it was the gas station meth

Grew up in Vancouver and Richmond. Used to see them all the time.

Good point.

I got distracted and forgot to look it up....thanks ADHD....

In 2000, an enormous supercolony of Argentine ants was found in Southern Europe (report published in 2002).[15] Of 33 ant populations tested along the 6,004-kilometre (3,731 mi) stretch along the Mediterranean and Atlantic coasts in Southern Europe, 30 belonged to one supercolony with estimated millions of nests and billions of workers, interspersed with three populations of another supercolony.

Blurb is under the "super colony" subsection.

Isn't there one giant ant colony that's essentially the same colony spread over several us states?

I'll have to look it up and get back to this with answers.

Loads of LGBTQ2S+ folk in the States are hoping that Canada might be a safe haven until the American army jackboots their way north. My trans sister and her American wife included. I'm very concerned that if little PP gets in that might not be the case. My sister would be able to get in as we're Canadian, but her wife might not be able to.
This is definitely the worst timeline.

I'm from Vancouver, but live in Scotland. So got to listen to the play by playing collapse of rational thought in real time. By the time my shift started I was having a full blown panic attack....

Nope, if you look, this is pretty standard.

We're going to try a few rounds of Private, then try for a surrogate, and then adopt/foster. We'd ideally like one of ours, but we know there's loads of kids that need a stable home.

Prayed too hard

Maybe it's time for me to find religion.....

Yeah, over in the UK(depending on what country) if you're under 40 you get 2-4(?) rounds on the NHS. But due to the pandemic, and us moving to Scotland from London, my wife turned 40 before we were able to be seen. Our one round had two embryos, one botched implant because the clinic was adamant that they implant unfrozen, despite the hormones from up/down regulation for egg retrieval causing such massive inflammation for my wife that it took an hour and a half to implant(should be less than 10 minutes.) The second embryo failed before it could be implanted. So now we're going for private in Athens. Even with last minute flights, last minute accommodation and transport costs while we're there, it'll be £3000-£4000 cheaper than going private here in Scotland.
And even then we're looking at remortgaging our house to afford it. We're by no means poor. What was it my wife called us....DINKs? Dual Income, No Kids. And we own the house we live in outright thanks to her parents buying at the right time, and her inheriting early enough to avoid any excess taxes. But we have basically no disposable income. In one hand, out the other.

Anyway, I hope for all the best with you two. It's an absolute motherfucker. If you'll pardon my french...

We watched a bit, it was good, but hit to close to home for the Mrs.
