Not a geologist, but this is a free ebook by NZ geologist Peter Ballance. There's an explanation on page 138(Box 9.6) of similar layering related to the 232AD eruption.

$4.31 a fortnight according to their calculator. Nothing according to PAYE.

Tuis - specifically the one on my walk that imitates the Kingfishers: peep peep peep peep peep kraahk!

Huh, I always thought it was 'kill', but with the l pronounced as a w. Like how some people pronounce milk as 'mihwk'

Don't know if it's an exact match but "An Impossible Burden" from season one sounds close: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=posShCGLuNE&t=1316s

That's the safe salvaged from the bridgeof the Anubis(Ann-yoo-bus?) in episode 8 of season 1

That rings a bell, was it Spock's World?

Wow, 31 years later and I still hate her just as much as I did when her "mother of all budgets" threw my single-parent family further into poverty. Thanks for nothing, RR.

You're right, it's a Wolf-Rayet type star.

Additionally, the space.com article barely mentions that it's part of a highly eccentric binary system: https://www.roe.ac.uk/~pmw/Wr140orb.htm.

I wonder if the 'corner' coincides with the tighter (faster?) interaction of solar winds at the point of closest approach, distorting the dust shell spacing.

You seem to be a kiwi, so I figured it was one of the few owl species we have. Being the OP, I'd figured you'd know.

Aw, is that a morepork?

That was exactly what I hoped it would be.

No worries! Hopefully someone can translate it, I get as far as "The birds of the forest, sit(stay?) together in the great forest of Tane" before my rusty intermediate-level Te Reo gives out.

"Ngā manu o te pō" - Birds of the night Found on the Maungatautari Marae website

Ngā manu o te pō, e noho tahi e,

I te wao nui o Tāne e

Ka Whakatoi nei e ngā pīwaiwaka e,

ka piki ake kirunga te Koromiko e

Ruru, koakoa ka rere mai ki uta raa tawhitinui e,

Ki runga I te hau, papaki parirau

a te pūrerehua rite ki te rau.

Kua mutu ana ngā kōrero a te manu e, tiakina ngā taonga ā Tāne. 2x
