How do they account for voltage potential differences between a docking craft and the ISS? I'm picturing rubbing your feet on the carpet and shocking your brother, except the carpet is the atmosphere, your feet are moving hypersonic, and your brother is floating.

Have you ever been asked to throw a match?

This is honestly not a case of an Australian fucking with a tourist. They're certainly big and imposing looking, but Huntsmen are pretty benign to humans. They don't spoil food, don't spin webs, don't eat your clothes, and they tend keep out of places where a human is likely to provoke a bite. For that matter, their bite is painful, but not life-threatening. On the other hand, they prey on things that do all those things.

Particularly in places further from the main cities, where buildings tend to be a little more slapdash, they're often viewed as something like a natural form of pest control. Still, it's one thing to be comfortable with having them around the building, and another to wake up in a panic because a particularly clumsy Huntsman has just fallen off the wall onto your sleeping face and is now having their own panic as they try to run away and hide. Removing a Huntsman via a tumbler and sheet of paper to the outside of the house is certainly a reasonable thing to do.

Even if so, he's making a less absolute claim. You're saying all cops are in it for the tickets and the arrests. That's a blanket statement. He's stating that there exist at least some counter-examples. A single reliable observation is all that is needed to counter your claim. To validate your claim, you either need a reliable observation of every single cop, or of a significant sample size and demonstration that a correlation exists. Anecdotal evidence is weak because it is hard to corroborate, but it is more damaging to your claim, where it suggests that you haven't witnessed enough samples, than to his, where a sample of one would theoretically be enough.
