Some poor man was killed by a great white. It's sick. Scientists think these guys just take "nibbles" of things they may like to eat. If they don't like it they leave it. Unfortunately when something that big takes a taste...
Worse than that, nibbling is part of their way to explore something they just don't know what it is...
Great whites are seldom interested in eating apes, but if they don't know about us, they'll still check out that weird thing... So, even if some people say they are not really dangerous, it's still a problem with the individual fish, and anyway, nobody sane swims in water where they are.

You know them gun merchants, they sell you the guns on the cheap, and then you see how much they charge for the ammo...

Same with inkjet printers. Where is the firearm equivalent of the laser beam printer? Same bang for one fifth of the buck. Only dot matrix printers are cheaper to run, but you need to get a silencer for those noisy machines, and they don't do graphics. It's like buying an assault style rifle that won't do mass shootings. Imagine Martin Bryant running around Port Arthur with an NEC P5300. Tyrannical John Howard would have been deprived of a pretext for disarming Australian lovers of freedom.

It will be interesting to see what level of support Clive Palmer gains. He is clearly hoping for a Trump-like surge of votes from the disaffected...

It's crazy how much he's been spending. He's really trying to buy votes.

If anybody was buying, I'd be glad to sell mine, for all the good it has done me up to now...

Aussie PM has covid. I hope he doesn't die, as then the Coalition will get the sympathy vote in the coming election.

He may have just shown his true colours:

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-03-02/ ... /100874720
Controversial billionaire and political aspirant Clive Palmer has come under fire for reportedly buying a vintage bulletproof Mercedes-Benz once owned by Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler.

News Corp reports the leader of the United Australia Party (UAP) bought the 1939 770 Grosser Offener Tourenwagen, or "Super Mercedes", from an unnamed Russian billionaire.
A certain added piquancy by having bought it from a Russian oligarch. There goes the Ukrainian vote...
