It’s like the producers watched Spaceballs and were like “they really nailed this by having the bad guy be a supposed badass who takes off his helmet and actually is a whiny insecure dweeb”

OK - I’ll bite. Explain to me the benefit of reintroducing this species to the island. I am weighing against the downside of dumping 42 tons of poison on the island, which hopefully you will at least admit could have significant deleterious effects.

You can’t find a reason? How about “cannot survive the introduction of one of the (if not THE) most plentiful land-based species on Earth”. This is pretty clearly a shared characteristic amongst many of the species on this island, which is probably why they don’t thrive anywhere else.

Trying to find some room to plant this Knotwood in my garden - right now it’s covered in small trees!

Cockroaches and most spiders are harmless to humans. Doesn’t mean I’d prefer them over mice/rats.

You assume that these species should go on. If a bird lives nowhere else in the world except one small island, it has likely lost the evolutionary battle and is hanging on due to a quirk in geography that doesn’t allow one of the many species that can decimate it to physically reach it.

Guys, this is pretty obvious - what she said could easily be construed as “don’t buy products that advertise on Cowboys games”. ESPN can’t let that go. There is no media company in the world that would abide by an employee suggesting you should boycott its advertisers.

You have an interesting definition of “punish”, as I’ve read that they are running around killing thousands of rats. When your plan involves killing lots and lots of animals, your plan is probably stupid.

That’s absurd. No biologist would say that a species is a “problem”. Your implication is that there are “good” and “bad” species for an ecosystem and our job as humans is to engineer the “right” result by choosing winners. That is absolutely wrong.

Define “introduced”. If a spider hitches a ride on a seagull and finds its way onto an island that has no other spiders like it, is that an “ecological disaster”?

We also don’t know what flora and fauna have come to depend on rats, and the domino effect of removing them now. You have already killed off anything that depended on the stick insects, now you’re just going to kill off more.

This seems like a terrible idea.

“Today I will spend my time commenting on an internet sports site trying to convince people that going to sporting events is stupid”

You’re assuming everyone in Mensa is a genius.

These big bets make game theoretical sense. Let’s run with he has $35k she has $18,600.

For Agnew/Stevenson I would think it has something to do with their names. Weird letter combos you don’t find in many other words. Probably back into these when they get everything together and are like “need a word to fit Ad__i”

Yes, you could certainly ask questions nobody knows the answers to. Sounds like a fun event!

Poor baby has to jump through hoops to prescribe super-addictive drugs to people.

Why is this wrong? The team is making the choice here clear. This Mayor will block a deal that would make Calgary a competitive home market for a hockey team, the other guy will not.
