Unintentionally hilarious link

If it kills the host, it’s not a very successful parasite, or it’s a parasitoid as only one other commenter has picked up. It’s not in parasites’ interest to kill their hosts, it usually happens when they infect a non-preferred host and the system responds differently, like the pork tapeworm Taenia solium which doesn’t kill pigs but can be lethal in humans.

Those are some mercurial tempera…tures

That will express to your eye your undieing love.

Bin morsel.

Born slime.

That’s the trouble with words like ‘artificial’ and ‘natural’. They mean nothing. It would be better to call them refined additives, because I expect the “stevia” would be in a refined, extracted form when added - whether substantially changed from the form present in the plant or not, this could be considered artificial, if we insist on using this word.

You tricked us, that’s Christopher Walken!

You seem to be deliberately missing the point.

I like it. Good attitude.

A lot of men are sick of being told they’re emotionally fragile for not wanting to be accused of thoughtcrime. Both sides are responsible for this situation and it doesn’t help to attack the base you’re seeking support from. Dems and you need to learn this.

Thanks, was going to say the same, the AEC deserves a similar respect as the NHS for this reason. A truly apolitical electory body.

Inflammable means flammable?! What a country!

They’re generally called vinegar flies, and they don’t infest fresh fruit like fruit flies do when they lay their eggs in fruit.

If you travel by land or from the US and don’t need a visa/visa waiver, you can. I can’t understand how that draconian law could be enforced if the Canadian Government wasn’t able to do a background check.

I heard they can launch a 90 kilogram scumbag who’s as dumb as a rock up to 300 metres away.

Much like the Mediterranean.

Because deer are also invasive and aren’t needed for cattle breeding. Not a great analogy

Apis mellifera is a much better pollinator for most cultivars produced by agriculture around the world, so it’s been introduced into East, South and Southeast Asia too (and it’s pretty closely related to Apis cerana anyway, and they get along OK).

Also, you’re not accounting for species uniqueness, which is highest in Australia/NZ/PNG, southern Africa and parts of South America. These places also have native bees that are outcompeted and outright attacked by Eurobees.

The truth is complicated, but also simple - this invasive species we tolerate and even introduce because it massively benefits food production for humans.
