    The males won’t pass the mutation to their children, enforcing that it will disappear in 5 or 6 generations… So, if it does anything, it will last for a couple of months at most.

    But also, it doesn’t slow down the females at all, and the male mosquito population isn’t usually the bottleneck on their reproduction.



  • If you are expecting consistency from something like this, you should try getting involved in local politics at least once.

    Whatever way you imagine for deciding it, the answer is yes, they do that.

    Do they gesstimate? Yes!

    Do they hire engineers to guesstimate? Yes!

    Do they concede to popular pressure? Yes!

    Do they concede to money pressure? Yes!

    Do they use the placement to guide the city’s evolution? Yes!

    You lose a bit of it every time you recycle, turned into non-recyclable compounds.

    You will lose half of it in half a dozen iterations or so. What wouldn’t be a big deal if so much of it wasn’t single-use, but it is.

    Also, aluminum is more polluting to make than most plastics. It may compensate for that with the easiness of recycling or not, depends on lots of details.
