The Random Question of the Day Thread...

Dust cap / rain cover seems readily available for Anderson plugs

Not sure what cover you are looking for for 7 and 12 pin trailer sockets as they normally have a flap, but I did find these

Thanks, fellas - forgot I'd posted the question!

Have had the Andersen covers, but had issues with one where it was hanging downwards, so rain ran down the cable, into the back of the plug but couldn't drain out again, so stuffed the pins

Yep, another pack cover seems to be the best option so I'll have a search - just wanted to see if there was some other idea I hadn't thought about!

Random Question  of the day is, How many ONE handed arabs  / Muslims have you ever seen ??   
Can honestly say I have never seen one in almost 60 years and only know of ONE person that was present when some bloke had his hand cut off, but that was about 60 + years ago ...
Soo Im guessing that this type of penalty is pretty effective at deterring theives, never see any one handed blokes getting around in the news or touristy feeds on the telly etc either ..
Just a Randomn thought was all .

Way back in T days, so early-mid 90s, our District Manager scored a 6-month gig in Saudi Arabia.

He was telling us stories after he got back & one of them was that they had the "3-monthly" punishment day. Done in the main stadium in Riyadh, in front of a full crowd, & also televised live! Several people flogged, a couple lost a hand & even one beheaded for murder!

He went on to say that there was then a news article a few day later to say that not one crime had been reported in Riyadh in those intervening days, so yeah, I guess it must be a deterrent

Another day, they were at the shopping centre, & watched a local bloke wheel his trolley full of groceries out, leave it sitting on the footpath & walk off into the carpark. Came back a few minutes later in his Merc, loaded the groceries in, then obviously remembered that he had to get whatever, because he left the Merc parked there, idling so the air-con would run!!!, & went back inside for a few minutes, came back out, jumped in the car & drove away.

It's a pretty bizarre form of punishment though, where you can get you're hand chopped off for stealing an egg, but It's OK to steal a bacon burger (no egg) and a slab of grog though.

Haven't watched the clip yet, but would have thought that stealing bacon would have been an even worse crime under Islamic law

Better check up on islamic laws, both are banned

[Troopy_03]

Yep, and that's exactly why. You don't get ya hand chopped off if you steal something that's haram..

[Fizzie]

What, so it's OK as long as you immediately dump it in the bin, but if you eat it, you're up for the chop again

How are people so gullible these days.... ?
How do I create a nothing and sell it to people Although I have a bridge in Sydney for sale and one in Melbourne too...

This week, Christie, a retired school teacher in Perth, paid a bit over $1,000 to buy a virtual penthouse in a place called Uphoria, one of the many metaverse worlds that are being launched this year.

"The vision for this penthouse is rather than me hosting Zoom calls, I can send out my link to people to join me there," she said.

"If we're going to do Zoom calls anyway, we might as well do it in style."

Virtual real estate is booming, with sales topping $US500 million ($700 million) last year and predicted to double again in 2022.


Within a few years, the market size of the metaverse could be valued in the trillions, according to investment banks like Morgan Stanley.

But as the hype goes into overdrive, some are warning that virtual land is just another pyramid scheme, driven by baseless speculation, and when it fails many will lose their money.

So what is virtual land, what are the risks for potential buyers, and who's actually buying it?


*** who runs a consultancy business in Sydney, and her husband, a federal public servant, have spent a "significant amount" on several plots of virtual land in a metaverse called TCG World.

They've also invested their time, spending up to 10 hours a week volunteering as virtual real estate agents and forum moderators.
