    Yep, SAD is common there because of lack of sunlight in winter, as reported by an #NZtwit who went and lived there for a few years.

  3. One thing I miss about Twitter is being able to ask a question like "Did ANZAC troops on the Western Front in WWI paint kiwi or other symbols on their Brodie helmets?" and actually get relatively regularly expert input.

    The Fedi rocks. But it's very fractured 😔

  5. Does any #NZtwit remember the name of that guy who used to post a heck of a lot on Twitter and he’s in academia, maybe worked for a CRI, sometimes wears a black hat like Terry Pratchet, uses an olde English pseudonym like Aetheylraed? We were at an eScience conference together maybe around 2009 and maybe another time at a data science retreat with Dr Mik Black and Prof Peter the partner of Helen Clark.

    Wow, how many names have I forgotten.

    I want to confirm a story he told us.

  7. Time for another #NZTwit #NZPol outcomes poll.

    The question is; Which govt Minister shows the most confidence in their pursuit of harmful and backwards policies for the people of Aotearoa New Zealand?

  9. Does anyone have any idea why the data on Poops.NZ is so far out of date?

  11. Suffering #Philosophical whiplash:
    #TodayILearned about "Chesterton's Fence" & thought "That's a great term to advocate for fact/context based policy decisions & argue against reactionary politics"

    Then, after reading into it further (including #GKChesteron's original quote) I found it's mostly used by #Conservatives to justify inaction & the #statusquo.

    Net zero insights. My brain is just spinning its wheels.

  13. Don't you hate it when you're on a #videocall and you're not really paying attention & someone laughs, so you reflexively laugh politely, and then they're like "Rupert knows what I'm talking about" And now the two of you have bonded over shared experiences, and YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT EXPERIENCES!

  14. It's funny when USAmericans say the rest of the world can't have an opinion about their country.

    Not funny "haha", more funny "telling someone in the rain they don't know enough about water to complain"

  18. Here's Marley's Hill in the Port Hills of Ōtautahi-Christchurch, NZ, as seen from our house. The photo of it on fire is this morning, the other I took on Saturday.

    I've been taking photos of this view every fortnight from our deck, watching how the hill has been recovering from the 2017 Port Hills fire. The clock has just been reset.

    See Flickr for the full-res photos if you want to zoom in.

  20. 190 #NZTwit votes is not a bad turnout for a domestic Mastodon poll. Does the very one sided poll result tell us more about public support for #3Waters' mahi tahi or more about the intelligence of #NZTwits who are Mastodon users? #NZPol

  22. #NZTwit #entomology Mastodon, some help identifying this critter found in lower NI please?

    Is this (as I assume) a tree Wētā nymph, or something more exotic? I've not seen anything quite like it before, and it was definitely able to jump 30cm vertically upwards....

  23. Thinking of friends and whānau in Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland and surrounding area with the state of emergency over widespread flooding right now. Stay safe all. ❤️
    (Also selfishly hoping our apartment in Eden Terrace is okay 😬)

  25. Apple's mixed reality headset is gearing up to be announced and the latest global trademark filing by a shell company for "xrOS" that has popped up is in New Zealand earlier this month. 👀

  27. Okay, roll-call for a #meetup.

    I went to the #WaterfrontBar last weekend (and met @TweetyFunsize actually) and it was really, REALLY busy. So I'm going to need to book a table to ensure we get an outside space.

    So, if you want to come, please tag in replies to this so I can get some confirmed numbers.

    Details:
    Where: Waterfront Bar, Raumati, outside deck
    When: 1300 (1pm) this coming Saturday 21 Jan

    For everyone's safety, I'll ask you to RAT before coming.

  30. I need to do one of those #introducton posts so you know what makes me tick. #Astronomy #AuroraAustralis #SpaceOutreach #FirstResponder #BCFC #BhmLegion #Rugby #Football #AllBlacks #AllWhites #Photography.
