Kūmara is back in abundance after many crops were devastated by Cyclone Gabrielle.

I think we all need some good news.

Behold, kumera back on the menu.

Are Urban Farms WORSE for the Environment?
  • I don't commonly post here, but this caught my eye and I have professional expertise.

    It simple enough. Larger farms in ideal growing regions with established infrastructure are massively more efficient by an order of magnitude.

    Gardening is 'probably'* carbon positive.

    Its OK though. I still have my vege garden and so should you (or community garden).

    It's fun. It builds resilence into your community and local supply chain. And most hobbies are carbon positive, this one comes with benefits too.

  • Housing MInister Chris Bishop sets 'long-term' price target of three to five times household incomes
  • A good start and pegging progress to a relative marker like income multiples is the right approach.

    I think Chris is making a mistake trusting councils. Keeping the zoning requirements but giving council power to decide where they are implemented will probably lead to more ghettos. In Wellington they are already bending the rules and redefining some train lines as "not mass transit" to prevent density in affluent suburbs.

  • Seeking Perspectives: Trans Athletes in Women's Sports
  • A lot of comments here on adult competitive sports.

    Any restrictions for school children would be highly invasive and detrimental to a child's wellbeing. Many school contact sports will have weight grades, which suffice to manage risks.

    Also bare in mind that in the current culture wars, you may have a fixed idea of what "trans" means that does not meet the myriad of actual circumstances.

  • NZ wins COP28 'fossil' award for revoking offshore oil exploration ban
  • This event is one of a long line of attempts to negotiate a reduction in climate change impacts.

    Every single one has been accompanied by excuses as to why this years specific event should not be taken seriously.

    We will soon be at the point where the main excuse will be that it's all to late.

    If we had acted in 1990 like planned, it would have worked and cost very little.

    And lets face facts, it has been conservatives of all stripes globally that have been the main drag on action.

    www.stuff.co.nz Scientists predict NZ won't be part of Earth's supercontinent in 250 million years

    Scientists predict land on Earth will once again form a ‘supercontinent’ in 250 million years, but New Zealand won’t be part of it - and won't sustain life either.

    Stalker shadow of chernobyl mod list

    Stalker shadow of chernobyl is next on my play list and I'm wondering what you all think are the must have mods.

    I would prefer to keep the game mostly original, but I'm not a purist and QoL mods, graphics mods and enhancements ok.

    Makara coast is my happy place

    I saw the tiptop makara peak photo and felt the urge to post.

    This photo was taken at first light earlier in June.
