Took me back to living in NZ a few years back, though not as full-on as a couple we experienced in Wellington.

The Christchurch one I missed being hurt in a collapsed roof of the Riccarton Mall shopping centre food court by only about 5 minutes. Today I noticed the rubble and felt a gradual build up over several tens of seconds, in NZ they tend to be quite a bit more abrupt. Luckily I wasn't there for either of the big ones. I've experienced quite a few in Indonesia as well, but they are different too being some being related to volcanoes so they often have lots of little lead up rumbles. I suppose it always depends on how far away you are and how deep it is.

I'm only surprised that Andrew Bolt & Co haven't written an opinion piece laying the blame for the earthquake on the lockdown rules.
This is now the longest premiership drought in the history of the Carlton Football Club - more evidence of climate change?

When mother earth dries out it cracks, and when it cracks, bada bing bada boom!

With the history of who is actually here and how they came to be dominant being far from certain. They may have to redefine it to "The sins of the father in the last two centuries" to ultimately retain a definitive crown! It really reminds me of the Pacific Islander debates, which are defined in the modern day more by politics at the exclusion of some science.

Western Europe must be one of the very few places left on Earth with any semblance of sanity.
How ordinary is the media these days?
I've just read about that young Gabby Petito while I was having lunch. We have been bombarded over the last month with stories about her plight, until a couple of weeks ago it was "Where is Gabby", "Gabby was last seen here", Gabby was tracked there", all the time the young lady was already deceased at least a month before her body was found a week or two back. I suppose the media didn't know, but it does seem to say something about the quality or morality of modern reporting! In the old days you would say nothing until you had the proof or at least some semblance of proof, now it's make the spurious claims as soon as possible to be first, and deal with the fallout later! How the families of these victims must suffer to provide the some media monarch with another fancy dinner!
