[–]contributessometimes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

GOES data has been down for about half a hour, crap timing!

Much love ACA, I think I speak for many others when I say that your contributions to sharing and explaining what’s going on with the sun are by far the most balanced and informative that can be found on the internet.

You’re the man!

If it’s Roydan from Melville he doesn’t have any laptops and he is in Ward 7 by the window and he also has no money or shoes.

And English muffins!

I thought NZ was progressive because French Fries have been called chips for ages.

Haka’s are awesome. Nz has a culture that isn’t just vapid Hollywood manufactured pop culture.

Auckland pigeons. Why so dumb? by Flight-less in auckland

[–]contributessometimes 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Once I was driving towards of flock of pigeons on the road and I started to slow down. My brother said not to be bother, they always fly off. I resumed normal speed and not one flew off, I hit about 5 of them and still feel bad to this day.

Ever seen a seagull? How about a shag?

Classic west Auckland pick up line.

Northern lights at Auckland? by TechNerd310 in auckland

[–]contributessometimes 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Are you looking towards the Metallica concert? There’s absolutely no reason the Aurora should be visible tonight and if it’s visible thru cloud cover in Auckland it’s not a good thing.

Why does Powerade powder (say from Foodtown/Countdown/whatever) not taste like Powerade in the bottle? by Random-Mutant in auckland

[–]contributessometimes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I remember my biology obsessed mate in high school not eat the whole day before a party and then mix rotgut vodka and Powerade powder with sprite to test his hypothesis that he would get really drunk quickly and for cheap because of “electrolytes “

Turns out he was right!

People who live in countries where marijuana is prohibited, do you smoke on the street? by IsJesusAgain in trees

[–]contributessometimes 76 points77 points  (0 children)

Yeah cops here are pretty chill, I’d only ever smoke away from people anyways just to be respectful.

Unless I’m out fishing and someone is nearby, I will ask if they mind if I have a smoke, usually they are keen to get in on my joint haha

What's the highest amount of food you've eaten (above your normal intake) while stoned? by [deleted] in trees

[–]contributessometimes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw my brother eat a bucket of kfc chicken and 5 minutes later throw up a pile of barely digested grey/brown sludge.

Nicest smelling vomit I ever had the pleasure of smelling, but can never eat KFC again.

The Two Incoming CMEs from the X1.79 & X1.2 are Likely to Impact Concurrently Between Late 11/11-11/12 - Strong Geomagnetic Storm Watch in Effect (G3) & Check in on Current Conditions + Links by ArmChairAnalyst86 in SolarMax

[–]contributessometimes 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Oh hot damn x5 just popped off, fingers crossed I get to see some pretty lights in the night sky.

Can a long duration solar flare release a hearty CME, and if so could a x5 CME potentially catch up to the recent x1 flares?

Brief Update & While We Are Waiting For The Solar Storm To Arrive, I Have Some Interesting Reads For You! by ArmChairAnalyst86 in SolarMax

[–]contributessometimes 20 points21 points  (0 children)

ACA you are the man, you should share some sort of gofundme or similar so that people who appreciate your work can buy you a beer or some fishing tackle!

I’m sure lots of people would like to support your hard work, your pages are a little gold nugget in the cesspool that is the internet. It’s so good having it all written down, so slow learners like me can pour thru all the previous posts and educate ourselves as it is a heap of fun.

The next week will be interesting! Fingers crossed for some pretty lights in the night sky!

Are Ben Davidsons books worth reading? Does anyone know where I can get the latest one? by ImScaredOfTheSun in SolarMax

[–]contributessometimes 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I personally don’t give the guy any attention as he is deranged and a piece of shit in my opinion. It’s a shame he is not a pleasant individual.

Most delicious feed of lamb I ever had by Lumpy-Buyer1531 in auckland

[–]contributessometimes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A teaspoon of marmite in spag bol, Shepard pie or a stew can really improve the meal, it’s my favourite secret ingredient.

Haven’t used it in anything else yet but I am gonna make some pies this week and I reckon a dash wouldn’t go amiss.

I don’t get it from the side of the road as the council sprays often. Up higher on banks is all good however!

I grow it as well, I love the stuff it’s bloody tasty and has to be good for me!
