All these young whippersnappers gotta train up. The Bondi shooters were taken down by an older guy drinking coffee, and a geriatric couple.

Also, this is a great example of Australian gun control working. In both cases, the shooters were disarmed because they had to stop to reload, and were unable to fire on the rushing hero. In the US, they would likely have had a box magazine fed rifle, making this a much harder move.

The perfect snow plow name doesn't ex...

I stand corrected.

Environmental storytelling 🐾
Update: I contacted the seller to let them know of the duties and they said they are going to refund me and that they have a warehouse in the US. Wouldn’t have ordered from them if I knew this. Lesson learned.
It's Monday. You might hate your job. But at least you're not a russian general about to tell Putin that you lost the city you've claimed to have captured 4 times.

George Clooney is an actor.

Put him in the role of a surgeon in front of a camera, and he will do and say things the average non-surgeon viewer will agree are surgeonish. After an hour of that, we are, as average non-surgeon viewers, satisfied and entertained.

Put him in an operating theatre, and the patient will fucking die because he's not a surgeon and knows nothing about really doing surgery.

@NanoRaptor cycling by the river and a crow landed on the bike path in front of me, jumped in my way when i tried to go around so i stopped.

it jumped up and down until i dismounted and followed it to a nearby road where some of it's friends were squawking, all clustered around an endangered species of tortoise that couldn't mount the kerb to get to the river.

picked up the tortoise and walked it to the river, it swam off and the crows happily cawed and then all flew off.
