But we are talking space weather, which is much more dynamic and fluid. That timescale is more on the par of days. Sometimes hours. That’s why I felt it was a strange phrase to use.

I wouldn’t call 4 months time “narrowly avoided”. That’s a third of Earth’s orbit after all.

I agree wholeheartedly. There is a lack of rank partisanship in NZ. We’ve seen Seymour and Chloë Swarbrick unite under common goals.
Someone can be my political opposite but still have good ideas… just not many of them. ;-).

Well, Seymour is the leader of ACT - which is a Right aligned political party. However, I think deez_treez (lol) is still wrong here.

Well, they are also contemporaries. Seymour is 39 and Ardern is 42, and NZ politics is small, so they both have been around each other for a long time.
Also, Seymour loves being a prick. It is kinda his thing. Both Ardern and Seymore saw their stock rise with this situation.

Could you also say that the number of pitches for a pitcher has gone down, allowing them to pitch longer overall? (I’m not sure if pitchers are pitching more or less compared to decades ago so I’m unsure.)

I remember when Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 disappeared and they Mapped huge swaths of the Indian ocean floor for the first time.
