Lake effect snow across Japan..
Here's a text book example of lake effect snow across Japan.
— Craig Brokensha (@CraigBrokensha) January 25, 2023
When cold air blows across a relatively warmer body of water, it picks up water vapour from the surface, dumping it as snow when reaching an obstacle such as a mountain range (orographic lift). pic.twitter.com/rGkelVIOmt
The same storm will deliver swell for the Billabong Pro Pipeline event but with poor winds (forecast coming today).

Pole shift. Got my alfoil at the ready to make the hat. Something like that could explain a lot of the crazy stuff going on, foremost the speed at which the magnetic poles are moving!

sypkan, what are these acronyms and how important are they? Do you work with experience of these policies and how they affect the people?
In my working life I got to see both the absolute best and also a distanced view of the worst of what is going on out there. I tend to agree about the policy flips being counterproductive.
afs is alcohol fetal syndrome
which became fasd, fetal alcohol spectrum disorder
they are important, because, aside from all the psychological and cultural shit going on... ie. lots... fasd has noticeable physical effects, ie. impaired growth of parts of the brain etc. - this is all kinda new knowledge, proven with recent developments in brain scan technology
the parts of the brain affected are to do with making decisions, cause and effect, and impulse control - kind of important factors in keeping you out of trouble!
(just imagine whats possibly happening 2 or 3 geneations in...)
these kids (and adults) have physical disability on top of all the other issues, and jails and juvvy is full of em. its totally inhumane to lock them up - but what's the alternative?
(they're dangerous - as we have seen)
the juvvy system, and especially state care systems are full of super permissive policies - for black and white kids alike -where the kids pretty much run the show. once they know the system, they come and go as they please, and pretty much do as they please, until the rap sheet is so long the judge can no longer ignore it
despite everything you hear, every possible avenue, therapy, and tolerance possible is extended to them before they get locked up - with some 'structural racism' extended too... but not the way you may hear...
(thank you post modernism! (I threw that in especially for you vj, but im sure you know what I mean))
basically (excuse my terms and crassness for simplicity) ... the left is full of 'bleeding hearts' and wayward well meaning ideology, that have constructed a system scared of its own shadow, that makes the kids the boss, with no accountability whatsoever
the right just wants to lock everyone up with their law and order bent and mandatory sentencing etc.
so, the systrm produces a bunch of 'little emporors', all too aware of their rights, and the ways to manipulate the system
state governments deal with the results (with their own ideological fetishes) flip-flopping as the need arises
and, when you have a perfect storm, like in the NT at the moment - where a long term labor government needs to deal with all of the above getting totally out of control after years of idealism, neglect, and cover up... a very reluctant federal labor needs to step in with their big stick...
(that more resembles copious amounts of denial and a twig)
but, it seems, they'll have to step up eventually, shit across the whole system has truly hit crisis point, been building for some time... decades...
the internet, gangsta glamour, and new drugs (relatively) have only compounded already very complex problems
shit really is outa control, not just nt
the system will ask for more funding, more programs, better facilities etc...
but really, 'the idelogy' driving it all is broken, it works for some kids, but hard nuts... not so much...
there are alternaives, but they wouldn't get a look in, all 'the theory' heads one way...
@sypkan , you posted a Facebook video of an elder black fella with his thoughts on what needs to happen. I thought it was a great clip . Do you think if these kids are that damaged mentally that his idea of taking them bush and reconnecting with the land would work ? I can see the voice to parliament being an important step in what to do with the current situation. Action is needed now yes , listening to the ideas of the elders and trying their way could be the solution.

Its exactly what they need...
but the system will not force them to do anything (see above)
there was actually a bush boot camp that was doing exactly this without the elders and culture bit - pretty sure guy running it was a whitefella
pretty sure it got shut down too
coincidently, this just popoed up
sorry, sky news, (and that 'nasty' price lady)
but the main point she makes is the most pertinent of all...
basic human rights versus 'culture'
https://m.
the most basic of basic human rights!
If the system can eventually force them into institutions and jail then it can force them to be put into elders custody and give the rehabilitation that they badly need. They have their own answers if allowed to implement them .
Ok so what was JPs solution ? Give them choice ? Was that it or did I miss something.
Supafreak wrote:Ok so what was JPs solution ? Give them choice ? Was that it or did I miss something.
I dont think she offered one...
but her point was, if you are not providing the most basic of human rights, then the cultural stuff is pretty pointless
Ive seen what she's talking about, where a kid is on the right track, from years and years of hard work by people and services away from country
then the best-est of best intentions sends them back to country, and it all unravels
putting them with a white foster family permanently is never an option, ...absolutely never!
because... stolen generation...
the irony is - the tragedy - is we are creating another stolen generation with hyper sensitive policies designed to avoid another stolen generation...
t abbott first talked of this - it got no traction... k rudd had a go too - got a bit more serious attention... but its a total tabboo really, not to be discussed... unfortunately those two are kind of isolating characters - whatever your politics... but fact of the matter is, it is true
the trauma they often face on country is way more damaging than any associated with loss of culture
the above is not a criticism of blackfellas or country. its just a fact they often do not have the knowledge, conditions, or infrastructure to deal with the incredibly complex needs of these kids
its a fucking mess to be honest, and only massive changes will come anywhere near fixing it
but, we can not even identify the problems...
The problem I have with JP and LT is they both don’t really come up with solutions . They are good at blaming others and I think JP in that sky news link was blaming the stolen generation who are now educated and in power positions for the plight of the current generation. Politicians don’t have the answers to these problems. Again the Facebook link of the elder blackfella stating it’s their problem that they need to take responsibility for and implement the solutions , starting with reconnecting to the land that they have become spiritually bankrupt from is a start .
One for the all-of-a-sudden big tennis fans.
Advice for my dog:
Ha, our Lab, ex seeing eye trainee , only took 2 days to work out the kitchen and the fridge meant food now food is constantly talking to him!
Our Dog can almost clearly say “cheese” as soon as the fridge cracks……a campaign of harassment begins. I’m weak
He might be related to my dog soggy,he can smell cheese before i open the fridge,i don't bother trying to sneak it anymore,he's always behind me as the door closes.

Here's something else to see in your sky.
https://www.theguardian.com/science/2023/feb/04/the-green-comet-how-to-s...
"The comet should be visible between 10pm and midnight. “The best rule of thumb is to look towards the north,” Webb said. “If people look due north, and then once they spot it, it will be travelling in an upwards direction towards Mars, which looks like a big bright red spot on the sky."
Here's hoping for clear skies next week.

yeh, those cookers are so cooked...
pointing out reality and stuff
a 'reality' that, it would seem, is already slowly under way...
stuart factoless-spittler, are you ok?
I know you've will-shat yourself a few times of late... and i know you've probably been balls deep into the dashboard... (those fukn russians ay!)
but some things just are...
they are not even a secret... anymore...
it's on google dude, free yourself with 'facts'... (as your wonderful little phizer-prop piece advised yesterday)
you might still feel powerless, a llack of control... but acceptance is everything...
(you've never been good at that)
sending love, power, and energy
in all seriousness...
you're better than this
I know you are
and, in all seriousness again...
I'm not totally against the london zoning thingy, ...or the 15 minute city thingy...
it would seem that's the future... of sorts...
it's all about the way 'they' are doing it
it has an air of class war to it don't you think?
a bit top down, and a bit digital 'facism' like in nature possibly...
all things you are concerned about?
or not...
