Yeah, sorry @oldinvest I can't answer your points because the coward who started the thread has blocked me. To answer your question: there are effects beyond tides, but tides always exist and are 100% predictable based on the position of the Moon.
To anyone (especially @alrightyman) wondering why I am not responding to comments in a couple of controversial posts recently: it's because the coward who started the post has blocked me. Happy to contribute to the discussion elsewhere.
Well, that's it for me for another year at work. In fact, that is it for me forever. I took redundancy and no longer work at the University of Otago. Sort of happy, sort of sad.
I've noticed a new trend here (X) in recent weeks: people I'm debating wth leave a stupid comment, then block me so I can't reply and show them why they're wrong. They seem to be determined to remain ignorant. Interesting.

Well, this is frustrating. My iPhone 15 Pro Max has arrived and I can’t set it up because I’m away for the day.
Finally reached my goal of 1000 on-line debates (AKA Facebook, Twitter, YouTube arguments). And this is just the tip of the iceberg, because I don't keep a record of the more minor ones!
Quite disappointed that a few of my recent replies to tweets haven't got the old "We're asking Tweeters to review replies with potentially harmful or offensive language" warning. I must try harder.
Pretty happy that almost every tweet or reply I send nowadays gets the warning that it might be offensive. You can’t have real free speech without risking offense!
