Wasps pollinate flowers just like bees do and iirc there are some flower varieties (some types of orchid?) that are entirely dependent on wasp pollination. Figs also need a particular kind of wasp to reproduce. They also eat caterpillars and aphids in quantities that put our favoured garden predator, the ladybird, to shame. They're basically at the top of the garden food chain and wiping them out would result in tons of plant-eating pests.

Wasps are more than annoying if you ever want to eat anything at a public venue such as a theme park, race track or zoo. Those fuckers are downright hostile.

Captain Fargle posted:Because it's NI getting a massive amount of special cash out of nowhere while everyone else gets hosed over. Yeah, this. It's amazing how the tories are all like, "We can't possibly afford to do *insert good thing here*, FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY!" until they need to blow a lot of cash bombing somewhere or propping up the decaying corpse of Theresa May's career. Spending money in deprived areas is great and we should do more of it. The tories are generally an impediment to that and pretend it's bad policy, except when it will personally benefit them, then it's game on.

Yeah but a lot of it's earmarked for things like NHS funding - basically a reprieve from austerity. It would be cool if people were going "hey we should all be getting that, properly fund everywhere!" but instead there's a lot of 'why waste that money on Northern Ireland' kind of talk. People coming out with weird alternatives as though 'presents for us' is on the same or higher moral level as 'fund somewhere that needs it'

Seriously what's the point of them, do they actually contribute anything and how much would we lose if we did the bill gates mosquito thing and wiped them all out. You could say it was worth it to save the NHS money, and make sure the daily mail are made aware that mosquitos and mosques rhyme with wasps so they are obviously a Muslim terrorist plot. Wasps actually are part of breaking down dead wood and clearing litter. They also actually keep numbers of traditional pest insects like catepillars and the like under control by using them as food for their young. They're also part of the natural system of spreading yeast throughout the globe.

If anything this bribe is a sign post that austerity is poo poo, and the rest of the country should be getting the same sums of money and maintenance. If only some kindly grandpa had suggested such a thing in his election manifesto. Why, he'd definitely have my vote!

OwlFancier posted:I'm imagining choking on my own blood as I die of radiation sickness and thinking with my dying moments "this is made so much worse by the prospect that this isn't happening to twice as many people" and I'm having trouble. More people dying is worse than less people dying. Killing extra billions of people is bad. So why do you want to do that? Do you not even _realize_ that is what you want to do? Or at least _understand_ the argument of why that could be the consequence, and have some kind of justification of why it would not in fact turn out that way? Please, use the brain you obviously have, and empathy you presumably do, to think through the consequences of what you are proposing.

radmonger posted:More people dying is worse than less people dying. Killing extra billions of people is bad. You're suggesting two scenarios: one where someone launches nuclear weapons and kills a bunch of people, and there isn't a retaliatory strike, and another one where there is, and then you're suggesting the second scenario is better, because it will mean the initial strike "failed" somehow. You might be a bit crazy.

This year I learned that the house I live in was done up on the cheap thanks to a never-ending army of slugs in my kitchen (and elsewhere, until I found their entry points and Polyfilla'd them in. The kitchen is just one giant entry point). Slugs can get in the bin along with wasps.

Best thing to get rid of Slugs - Ducks. Your problem then becomes that you have a load of ducks who poo poo everywhere, but you have no slugs. Chickens will also do as well, but Chickens are bastards.

Unfortunately a side effect of eradicating malaria is it leaves space for more humans to successfully multiply, which is almost certainly a bad unintended outcome

Just be prepared to lose half your flock to marauding foxes every year or so no matter how secure and robust you think your chicken fortress is.

Also would anyone care to defend midges? The only point I can see in their favour is that they act as a pretty effective tourist deterrent, leaving the nice parts of Scotland free for the hardier locals in the summer.
