I understood, but here it's illegal to carry a gun if you're not a cop (with very few exceptions - ex-cop not being one of them

ok, I'm no expert but:

- all hand guns (don't know if that's the right term. pistols. secondary weapon in counter strike) are illegal with a few exceptions (cops, sports...maaaaybe some private security)

- all semi and fully automatic guns are illegal. includes things like pump-action shotguns. although i'm fairly sure bolt action style rifles capable of holding a magazine are ok (because my dad has one)

- everything that doesn't fall into those categories you need a fairly strictly controlled license. including things like a safe place to store it. and usually a fairly good reason (i.e. "I live in bumf*ck nowhere and I need to shoot my livestock (or kangaroos) when they break a leg")

I haven't actually read this, but I think what I wrote above is a fairly accurate summary.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun_politics_in_Australia

ftr, our gun laws got super tight after this:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Port_Ar...cre_(Australia)

Since then there have been no mass shootings. Take note other countries who may not have such strict gun laws (too soon?).

I'm getting $6,100 from my car insurance for my car. I had it over 9 years and paid $16,000 for it.

Not sure if that's good, great, or bad. But - their valuation seems legit as far as I can tell so it is what it is.

Also, Australia doesn't get much of a mention for scorpions, but we have a lot of them too.

I've never been bitten/stung/attacked by anything tho... oh, unless you count these muthafukkas.

Funnily enough my mum sent me a pic just this morning. 'tis the season.

Jeff: I have a PC now.
Shane: Really?
Jeff: **** Apple. I'm at Adobe now.

He basically knew going in that everyone was underpaid and could be shown the door at any time since there's a steady supply of young Jeffs more than willing to take his place at below-market pay. Otherwise, he didn't think much of the operation.

That's actually at market pay, it's just that those Apple employees are willing to accept a negative compensating wage differential for the 'coolness' of getting to work at apple.

I've only lived through two winters anywhere with heavy snowfall. One winter I drove an Alfa Romeo Spider, the other a Mercedes SLK. Didn't get in a wreck either winter.

So I suggest a rear wheel drive European convertible.
