Suit yourself. Have you ever been in outback Australia, hmm?

 

The King Ranch in Texas is America's largest cattle ranch. 825,000 acres.

 

Anna Creek Station in South Australia is the world's largest cattle property. 5.85 million acres, more than 7 times larger.

 

I used to hunt on comparative tiddlers in western NSW, a mere 45,000 acres.

 

If you don't like the facts I post, I have others. You probably won't like them either.

 

 

 

I would say, to shoot that animal, the animal in the image you have attached...

I would choose a 460 Weatherby Magnum.

Have you ever used one?

The recoil is noteworthy.

Lots of Lee-Enfield .303 rifles left over from WWII and the Korean War in Australia. It is widely believed it has the highest kill count of any service weapon in military history.

 

Wit the hide of a boar that big, a 0.22 is useless. It merely tickles them.

 

The guy in the photo was a farmer friend, passed away 4 years ago. RIP Bill.

I promise:  This will NOT tickle, one bit....

 

 

I once had a new .460 Weatherby Magnum bolt action rifle.

Such a beauty, and expensive to shoot.

 

When Weatherby talks....

Nobody walks.

 

 

Boom...!!!

 

(Concerning minimizing bacteria on toilet seats publicly available, if you use one, which I do not....I would suggest solid copper, since copper seems to have great anitmicrobial characteristics.)

I was under the impression the Barrett 0.50 calibre was the weapon of choice for long range snipers.

 

On topic, I confine myself to peeing in public toilets. I save defecation for where I live.

I agree with you concerning public toilets, just because they are not clean enough for my use, and also because not ALL the e.coli is where it should be.

Perhaps we could hire someone to take swabs from various public toilet seats, culture the results, and then enter the resulting data in a spreadsheet, to be posted later on this Topic.

 

Meanwhile, the 0.5 caliber sniper weapon is not for hunting game animals, such as wild boar, and the Weatherby IS.

 

If you plan to go hunting game with a 0.50 caliber, then you should try one of those old 0.50 caliber black-powder muzzle loaders, with octagonal barrel, and a coon-skin hat.

These are much more fun.

 

These days, I do not hunt, and I never sit where I am not welcome, on public toilet seats of questionable status.

 

This is why life in Japan has always been so alluring to me.

 

Also, once I went canoeing in the deep northern woods, for over a month, where there were NO conventional toilets....and..

I didn't get sick, once.

 

There are no germs deep in the forest.

And, all the toilets deep in the woods smell clean...

With the scent of pine.

I used to get it often in my younger single days in Banggers. I thought it was from Nanna, but probably toilet seat.

Whose Nanna was it? Yours?

Each to his own.

Flushing toilets causes more disease than sitting on them.
When you flush, water vapor carrying particles of matter from the toilet rise up in the air, literally coating the walls of the stall... and you.

I was taught at an early age to close the lid before flushing. Dad was a doctor.

Even Chinese Feng Shui says toilets should be closed (doors too!) for an auspicious life.

I ask the same question  when im asked to remove my Foortwear to enter a Thai owned shop,  walking where many others  have, with possible foot diseases

Eucalyptus scent in Australia. Radiata pine is an imported species. We do have a native cedar, with a pungent smell when cut or burnt.

 

Professional hunters in Australia are driven by economics, the cheapest weapon and ammunition. Hence Lee-Enfields are popular.

 

If you took a Weatherby hunting in Australia, you would probably be told we don't have wild elephants and hippopotami.

I always squat above the toilet never touch anything.

It's also best not to chew on the seat

But, do you have WHALES?

 

What just too many people do not understand is this:

 

The 460 Weatherby MAGNUM is one of the ONLY rifles/cartridges approved for shooting whales.

And, I mean approved by the International Whaling Commission.

 

The reason for this is that the Weatherby is very HUMANE, and too few understand this.

 

So, also, I think the Weatherby MAGNUM would be the best cartridge for shooting local roosters, as well.

 

The rifle itself is a work of art.

 

Note:  Poor old Captain Ahab....  If ONLY the captain had had a Weatherby....he might not have lost his leg.

Im even not comfortable to let hotel cleaners tidy up our room where they go from room to room, cleaning toilets and coffe cups randomly without changing plastic gloves and also use the same rags on every surfacee around the rooms. Even moving around our personal stuff such as toothbrush etc

 

 

 

Never allow your toothbrush to go unattended when you are expecting a cleaning-person to tidy your room...NEVER....

I do not leave my toothbrush in the bathroom, uncovered.

 

Also, a word to the wise:  When flushing a toilet, particles of e.coli can become dispersed in the bathroom air, and land on your brush.  Therefore, do not let this happen to YOUR toothbrush.  Keep it covered, and best not keep it in the bathroom, especially hanging on one of those wall fixtures.

Depending of how long we stay in a hotel, but if only 3 nights we only change towels, recieves coffe, water and toilet paper, but we do take precaution if we stay longer, so no worries. Some hotels they clean anyway even we we tell them not to, especially the higher end hotels, who also comes in in the afternoon and makes the bed for you before sleeping if you out of the room. 

 

Anyway, just stupid ocd and not something most people think of,

Yes, we have whales.

 

Whaling is prohibited in Australian waters.

 

Whales do not have to worry about toilet seats.

 

The most powerful weapon I have fired is a .243 Magnum. If a bullet from that hits a person in the hand, the shock is enough to kill them.

This sounds like another Tall Tale...except.

 

a. If one has his hand over his heart, during the pledge of allegiance 

b. And the bullet hits said man in the hand during the pledge

I avoid them. In Australia, they seem to be mainly populated by beached whales.

You did primary, secondary school, other schools. You never wondered.

You were in a family of 5 (guess), you never wondered.

You were in hotels, wondered somehow. Ever used a blacklight in that room? maybe you are really surprised then.

You could see all  kinds of unwanted spurs of  whatever fluids.

 

You go to a restaurant, are the workers really hygienic? DO they wash there hands?

Are there workers spitting in your food by maybe sneezing?

You go to supermarket and open cooling doors fi to get milk. Many others did before you, they have clean hands?

They said corona could survive some time on smooth, most metal surfaces. SO others probably as well.

What about all kinds of public transportation?

 

If thats not enough, fi you have the roover beetle. If you only touch the animal, you get bad skin infection.

Tiny animal of 4 mm.

Or a 4 mm jelly box, while you are swimming, it can kill you. You will have to fight for your life.

Yes, life is a challenge, you never know.

No need to google it.

I already know what it means.

You gots your hypo prefix, meaning below, beneath or low....

Then, you have your voles.....(please see image)

 

So, hypovolemic shock meaning:

 

One who finds it shocking to see anyone beneath a vole.

Apparently there are more bacterium on the body than human cells.

Nothing at all to worry about, least of all a toothbrush in a bathry.

Most microbiologists agree the risk of catching anything directly from a toilet seat is extremely low. The skin is a good barrier, and most germs don’t survive long on a dry surface like plastic or porcelain.

Where people do pick things up is more often from touching surfaces (flush handles, door locks, taps) and then touching their mouth, eyes, or a small cut. That’s why handwashing after using the toilet is far more important than balancing on the seat or covering it in paper.

The exceptions are if there’s visible fresh fluid, or if someone has an open wound in contact with the surface — but for the average healthy person, the toilet seat itself isn’t the main risk. Good hand hygiene really is the key.
