Hard to tell from the picture but it may be a mud dauber, which is not a very aggressive wasp (to humans) and is useful for controlling spider populations. if they're getting up into your ceiling near the light fixture, blocking it off may prevent it from trying to nest there. if it's building on the fixture itself, knocking down the nest might convince it to relocate to a safer area. I've never had a mud dauber sting me even while knocking down nests, but I would still wait until it's off gathering mud to make an attempt on the nest.
Here's the (abstract of the) paper I was thinking of https://pubsonline.informs.org/doi/abs/10.1287/opre.4.1.42
Appalling that I can't find a free version of a 70 year old paper. You might be able to find the full text somewhere... I would of course never encourage anything that might run afoul of the scientific publishing protection racket.
I couldn't find the paper I was thinking of that described the phenomenon of traffic propagating as a pressure wave, but I did find this paper (new to me) that describes a model for simulating how congestion spreads in urban environments (as opposed to an isolated highway, which IIRC the paper that most people reference models). It does have the full text available though, and it looks like a good read and has references that should get you going on the history of congestion research.
I am not an expert; I just found this with a few minutes of searching. If there are experts with better papers I'd be happy to hear from ya!
I haven't actually played this character yet because the group I made it for failed to launch (and I'm currently between tables), but I really want to play this character. He's a Dwarven Wizard, scion to a massively wealthy trade baron. He got a job as a diviner for the family business and worked there most of his life, but at some point he realized that long-term divination is mostly bullshit, the bit that isn't is just statistics, and his job is just a sinecure to keep him comfortable since he will likely never run the company (too many older brothers). He studied magic on his own time because he thought it would help him with his job so he has some skill as a wizard. Sometimes he will go to rougher pubs and listen to adventurers talking about their adventures and imagine what it would be like to leave it all behind. Then, after a messy, public divorce, something snaps and he walks out of his job, goes to the outfitter and buys a bunch of fancy equipment, and signs up with the first adventuring crew he can find under an assumed name.
Same. It's a real joy if you have a good table. It's more work though, which makes DMing a bad table that much more painful.
Damn girl are you a 16:10 display device because that ratio is visually pleasing and comfortable to hold.

The poems
I wrote,
I love 'em
but I'm broke.
I have an old laptop that does that and the keys are very distracting whenever I hold it in tablet mode. I find myself holding it awkwardly on one side to avoid them, even though I know they're disabled. It is still a nice feature though, I like being able to transition a laptop to portrait mode sometimes.

I know y'all have your share of problems but this made me wish I was Canadian so bad. Such a placid headline ๐ฅฒ
