      Us and them, one peoples nationalism and critics of it. A war and those who blame one side or the other for it …

    Could student politician David Seymour have written a more white supremacist State of the Nation speech?

    Age of enlightenment, ffs.

      Feeling like I need to learn about cyclone weather.

      Here ya go.

      This chapter describes tropical cyclones, their history of naming conventions, seasonal and geographic variability and controls, and decadal cycles. The core and balance solutions for regions of the cyclone are examined. Genesis is explored in depth. Intensity scales and satellite interpretation techniques are described. Links between inner core dynamics and changes in intensity are explored. Limits on intensity are considered. Factors that influence motion are described. Extratropical transition is described in terms of structural changes, preceding mechanisms, and impact on high latitudes. The final section describes societal impacts.

      Easy, bloody wet & bloody windy from my experience.

      Pays to know how a chainsaw works,

      How to broad up windows, or failing that tape up windows

      Have a Genset handy, even better if you can plug it into the main switchboard like we do here in Darwin when the mains power goes out.

      Have a decent stock of non perishable food incl meds esp if gets a tad nasty

      Most importantly if you can afford it these days, which seems be not the case for the poor souls in Sth Auckland & elsewhere in the upper Nth Is. Is double check your Insurance coverage a before a Cyclone watch is declared!

      Finally pack up all loose items outside & secure them. Make sure your car or whatever you drive is fully fuelled or charged etc.

      If your house starts to disappear around you make your toilet or bathroom your as yours safe area, garb mattresses & throw them on yourselves it will give you some protection.

      Not sure if NZ CDEM has any dedicated or allocated facilities to act as cyclone shelters as they are normally Cat1 Cyclones or Tropical Lows/ Depressions when they usually hit NZ.

      I think I've just about covered it?

      Oh don't go driving in a cyclone either it isn't fun btw LoL. Unless you want to shit your underwear, even if it's quick trip to Woolies/ Macca's LoL.

    Charles Philip Arthur George Mountbatten-Windsor forgot to say happy Australia Day on January 26 – the day Philip Arthur arrived with the first fleet to raise up the Union Jack.

    So his social media post message on February 6 …

    Possibly he is giving them a clue – maybe they should make January 1 Australia Day (after their Jan 1 1901 constitution)?

    After all they are moving towards being a republic, albeit within the Commonwealth (Commonwealth Day 2nd Monday in March).
