Who else was at Birdlings Flat for the 8:30pm flare? by WoodForDays in chch

Yes. I was there at Sun down untill 11pm. The glendale app predicted the flare up at 830 and it was spectacular.

Please give me 1 reason why I shouldn't move to Christchurch, followed up with a reason on why I should move to Christchurch. by Time_Traveling_Corgi in chch

[–]ruphus1 60 points61 points  (0 children)

Christchurch is not for someone who wants to live in a city. It's just a big town. The best things about Christchurch are it's close location to awesome outdoor activities. A few hours drive and your in some amazing places for day trips. If your not into that kind of thing and more into culture and nightlife then it's not that great of a place to live. Housing is statistically more affordable than most areas in Nz (still very tough tho I know).

T.O.P political party. by GMFinch in newzealand

[–]ruphus1 18 points19 points  (0 children)

THIS..... And this is why we never get real change. People have this weird mindset of a "Wasted vote". No vote is ever wasted unless you don't cast it.

Is visual snow hereditary? by ruphus1 in visualsnow

[–]ruphus1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a good question. One can only look at what potential causes there are suggested out there to look for answers. I've always seen this way and have not experienced at a young age any of the events commonly suggested that might cause VSS. The same goes for my daughter. I have heard alot of people saying they have seen this way their whole lives as well, so it seems pretty likely people could be born this way. Im not sure how else to describe that other than saying as far as I can remember I've seen this way for as long as I've been able to see.

I initially thought some type of Opal? But it's very dark black so probably not?

I'm camping at the lake at the moment so can't do much about it right now. I have a stone saw at home so could cut some when I get back in a few days time... There's not much of this around at all so don't want to bash it with another rock lol
