- Comment on what’s your best “nitric acid acts upon trousers” moment? 1 week ago:
Generally the cops don’t carry weapons in New Zealand and we have specialist police that respond to armed offenders
The above is over simplified

Mine, nitrated organic compounds will act on fingers that are too close…
It all started, as a teenager, with my mates and I making black powder pipe bombs to let off on the back of a farm. With time these increased in size, and then the chemistry also stepped - to the point that we unplanted a sizable pine tree. This resulted in the local constabulary paying us a visit (for the first time). Thankfully it was a quite visit, no lights, no parents involved, just a stern watch out you could really heart yourselves. As we move on in our endeavors escalated we learnt a few things.
Timing is everything, get the timing wrong and you may need stitches at best. I think one of my mates was very lucky that day and only split the skin of a finger, it could have gone much worse.
Of cause that didn’t stop us - and that lead to the cops and AOS being called on another occasion - when the AOS is involved it tends to make the local papers, and parents somehow become involved as well.
All good life lessons.

- Comment on Are there any women here who felt they didn't deserve to be called women? 3 months ago:
I don’t feel like a woman, but then I’m a 50 y/o straight white guy from New Zealand. I don’t fit the stereotypical NZ 50 y/o male either, that is: I’m not a big rugby or cricket fan, Don’t (haven’t) owned a v8, etc.
Learn to live the best you, for you.

Yeah we have plenty of flightless birds here (or rather HAD), birds burrow and ground nest, bats that spend a lot of time ground foraging, insects that grow to the size of small rodents, carnivorous snails (www.youtube.com/watch?v=ubNm5M2-LAc) and more
