  • @yorrike Didn't you only just get that bike?

  • @val Wowee. Sounds exciting! Good luck with the final stages.

  • @Ozzie48 Heh, haven't heard of him for decades but your post immediately brought A Taste of Honey into my brain.

  • @Burk Nice framing.

  • @matti Ahhh, I thought that looked like pups behind the fence.

  • @gdp 😀

  • @odd Yes, it's one of those colloqialisms where you just need to know…

  • @jayeless Absolutely. The quake that shattered Christchurch back in 2011 was also extremely shallow — only ~10 Km deep.

  • @jayeless Apparently how strong a quake feels depends on a whole lot of factors, not just proximity to the epicentre. The nature of the ground the quake travels through, and I think other stuff, can make it feel stronger in some places than others.

  • @matti Nice!

  • @KimberlyHirsh I want to acknowledge what you've said here but as all of this is currently swirling round in my thinking I don't have an actual response beyond Yes. 😀

  • @KimberlyHirsh @cygnoir I was just this minute thinking about that. 😆 My conclusion was it doesn't feel right for my blog. I think on my blog I'd post about outcomes from such discussions, but not really the discussions themselves. Still pondering though.

  • @pratik Aha! Thank you.

  • @cygnoir One thing is that Micro.Blog is a kind of hybrid community. I've participated in closed communities like, for example, mailing lists where although the list may be archived on a public page, the interactions are taking place in a closed space. Also open spaces like Twitter where it's all just public. Micro.Blog Timeline takes posts from open blogs and creates a more closed place for discussion. It's more complicated.

  • @cygnoir I'm reading this for the second time but feel really constrained by discussing a lot of points by replying to a blog post. I can't seem to get my thoughts in order. I think I really would prefer this as a topic in the forum and then the individual points as individual posts.

  • @pratik @cygnoir It has to be the marginalised groups who voice their perspectives in the first place though. That part of the work can't be done by others. They shouldn't need to keep voicing the same points repeatedly though.

  • @ridwan The audio of the page is also a Kiwi voice…

  • @jayeless Ooooh. Do you get many quakes around there?

  • @news Thanks you! I've needed .zip exactly once, but now I can have it on my blog rather than on some random other service. 😀

  • @pratik Woohoo! Hope you have loads of fun.

  • @jabel Aaaargh!

  • @fgtech @Ddanielson That sounds like a useful approach. I'd also like producers to be responsible for what they produce and the byproducts — millions of possible examples, but what say batteries had to be collected and appropriately dealt with? What say (in Aotearoa) those who clear-fell forests had to deal with the 'slash' — the branches and rubbish that's left behind? In Aotearoa that 'slash' has caused millions of dollars of damage (and at least one death) after heavy rains moved it.

  • @Ddanielson Thank goodness for that particular professor. Such 'hidden' factors should be brought right out in the open.

  • @jean I've lived in places with that salmon pink too. I really don't care for it on walls.
