nipper Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 When weather events get conflated with climate, it might be useful to remind the simple folk about grade 7 lessons. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-04-23/why-it-wont-stop-raining-la-nina-climate-driver/101008962 And, a bit of geomorphology might help. It is a floodplain, folks. With an altered ecosystem, turned to pasture not treed, and urban engineering stopping percolation, channeling with roads, structures and acres of concrete. Plus a deforested hinterland allowing run off. Do Not Build on a Floodplain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henrietta Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 And just in case you thought that you'd heard everything weird ........ Quote A 27-year-old Indian man plans to sue his parents for giving birth to him without his consent. Cheers J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birnam Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 Is this weird? APnews is reporting an Indian couple is suing their son and daughter-in-law $675 000 (US, presumably) for failing to have a grandchild after 6 years of marriage. Their justification seems to be they paid for their son's education (he's a pilot) and they organised the marriage. A court has accepted their petition and is set for a hearing. Geez, don't p*ss off mum and dad in India. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
