RULE 12 Don't fight with younger people, even if you're right, which you probably are. When they tell you outrageous things, say, "That's very interesting, I'll have to think about it." These people will be writing your obituary, and why give them a reason to put "contentious" or "embittered" in the second paragraph or accusations of cultural appropriation or insufficient anger at power imbalance. If you enjoy dispute, go after your elders if you still have any who are of sound mind. Poke them in the stomach. This will amaze them, seeing as everyone else pities them to death, and they will relish combat and rise to the challenge and it will improve their respiration. And a day later they'll forget the whole thing.

A model for estimating 1-min rainfall rates at a location for which routine climatic data are available was used to produce this atlas. Even though data were available for 483 locations, considerable subjectivity and smoothing of the analyses was required because of the low station-density in most areas. Southern Hemisphere analyses of rainfall rates equalled of exceeded 0.01, 0.05, 0.10, 0.50, and 1.0 percent of the time are presented for four mid-season months. Analyses of the highest rainfall rates for the same frequencies of occurrence regardless of the month in which they occur and companion analyses of the month in which the highest rate occurs are also presented.
