Hawaiian Senator

I'm not sure of the senator's opinion, but Hawaii is now releasing genetically altered male mosquitoes (the non-biters) that produce sterile offspring to combat the effects of Avian Malaria. The disease has already wiped out many native honeycreeper species, and the situation is exacerbated by climate change (apologies if this term melts any resident snowflakes. I know this thread definitely isn't CR), as there is no longer refuge at higher elevations. While it is too late for the 'akikiki, perhaps the 'akeke'e still has hope of surviving.

Dengue can go fuck off with that bio-engineering shit. Without male mosquitos we will just have real butch female mosquitos. Amazon mosquitos that transmit malaria that messes up humans.

I belive this has been done in Florida for several years, specifically to reduce Dengue. Although I would agree that Florida is not a place you want to take advice from.

Inka: Oh, yeah, an Amazon mosquito, maybe, but not a Hawaiian mosquito. That's my point.

Hookem: Oh, yeah, I agree with that.

Inka: But then, of course, Amazon mosquitos are non-migratory.

Hookem: Oh, yeah, so it couldn't be there anyway.

Inka: Wait a minute. Suppose two mosquitos carried it together...

This depends. Are the mosquitos in a monogamous relationship?

We needed this thread.

No but they WERE both content producers on TikTok that taught STEMs info to the youth. So, it's shitty either way and it's all the Hawaiian Senators fault for not voting for SpaceX. 

Did she make Guam sink? If so, well I banish her to Upper Volta. Her and her gender neutral, non-monogamous, dengue bird killing mosquitos.

My grandmother called it HighWīyuh

When I met her in undergrad, my ex-wife was working in a head shop and they sold those dumb little bracelets each with the name of a state on them. Except on the Hawaiian one, they'd accidentally spelled it "Hawall."

We thought that was hilarious when we got stoned -- laughed our asses off. I think that's when we fell in love.

❤️ h-a-w-a-l-l 💔

Reminds me of a beer joint in Wichita Falls named Frank’s Eight-Ball Lounge.  Frank, the owner, was a WWII aviator who also played the trumpet.  Frequented this place a lot as a UT student in the 80’s when I came back home to visit.  Place had a jukebox that played Sinatra, Glenn Miller, The Letterman, etc.  It was guaranteed that as the night progressed and patrons and Frank imbibed, he would play the trumpet at the end of Bobby Vinton’s “Blue Velvet”.  The crowd loved it.

Anyway, we almost always put a quarter in the jukebox for this song.  @Armybrat, this one’s for you.

Yes, except for Tasmania. They have to elect 1 platypus per cycle. Hence why they cannot go instinct.

Basic Instinct was a good film, made Sharon Stone famous but I haven't watched it a long time. I don't remember it being set in Australia or Hawaii but like I said it's been a while. Was refreshing my memory of that movie, and I must have found a BDSM porn film instead cause that is what that movie sounds like reading the plot. Definitely re-watching it soon.

no no no no. You are confusing Aussie parliment with Sri lankan cricket. In Sri lanka 6 mongeeses equals an automatic honalulu. so you tie.

You used to be able to buy crickets at every bait shop you passed and they were everywhere. Hawaiians hate bate fishing and the Senators pushed forth all the legislation banning cricket sales in bait shops which crippled the Bait Shop industry. Between that and TikTok dying small businesses everywhere no longer stand a chance of success. MAGA! END the cricket ban!!!
