Apparently she needed some stitches to the knee and the arm in a sling. Could've been much worse though.
In Sweden we have moose as well, a cow with a calf is the worst animal you can encounter in Sweden. And we do have both wolves and bears.

Yeah, but only the dropbears are really an issue.

No need to worry 'bout snakes, the spiders tend to eat them.

For more funny details, read Bill Bryson: Down Under.
(Wikipedia says that in the US, the book is titled "In a Sunburned Country".)
The humour is typical Bryson, such as when he comments that an encounter with an alligator in the sumplands "can be an extremely irreversible experience".

I swear roos know what they're doing - this[^] too was no accident.

I know what you mean.
Between work, children and CodeProject, there's no time leftover.
And for you, those are one and the same thing.

Hi all!
I own a NAS that has a total capacity of 6TB. More than enough for my business needs.
Till today I've been using a 3TB HDD as backup and it worked perfectly... versions... all OK, but of course I'm running out of space.
Would you recommend the Seagate STEL6000200 HDD?
It's 6TB of capacity and the USB3.0 port seems what I need.
Thank you all!

Thank you Rick, I'll take a look at it...

Seagate's got such a bad reputation is recent years decades I wouldn't take one even if given to me for free. And that's actually happened - I was given a system that had a set of mirrored Seagate drives - one was already dead, and the other failed within the following month.
All Seagate drives I've ever purchased are dead. I've retired functional drives from other companies because they just got too small, not because they stopped working.
IMO: If you're going to insist on Seagate as a backup drive, then back up in pairs, at least.

Thank you!

I can only offer my own anecdotes, and I realize other people have had no problem with them. To me, Seagate is like Sony: I won't (directly) tell others not to buy them if that's what they want, but I will relate my personal experience, and I don't have any praise with them. I didn't start with such prejudice either; I used to be a fan.
I'm always on the lookout for good deals on large hard drives. While I've seen better prices on Seagate drives than some of their competition (especially the cutting edge just-out-this-month models), I always move on as soon as I see the name.

Seagate used to be good. But lately they come up short in the reliability department. I've gone to all WD Black with my new purchases.

I had a very similar experience with 2 Seagate NAS drives. One lasted almost 1 year, the replacement ("free" under warranty) lasted 2 months. Major headache.
