"Australia consumes around 11 tons of methamphetamine per year," Australian Border Force Acting Superintendent Joel Carruthers said.
"Thai authorities have seized crystal methamphetamine with a street value of almost $41.5 million, stuffed inside punching bags bound for Australia."
Bound for South Australia sprung to mind (The Song not insulting our mates in SA)
Get the feeling some one has a drug problem? 11 tons[tonguewink][tonguewink]
Other trivia is should we check the odd boxing bag or two here if made in Thailand?[bigwhistle]Mine is blue not red so not taking a knife to it[biggrin]

I bet they were sung on the two Ships that introduced my lots to this big Brown Land. viz. Marion & Shackamaxon (a Yank ship that one,but left from Liverpool.) They all arrived here in one piece by all accounts with littlies, but no dreaded ship borne diseases although many others died from Scarlet Fever, mainly children, from what I can see.
How we missed that one I have no idea but Arsey springs to mind.

"Bitcoin's global computing power has been dealt a blow this week, after a nationwide internet blackout in Kazakhstan hit the cryptocurrency mining industry."
Love Block Chain. Great tech. Cypto banned from china and now via a revolution (unrest) in Kazakhstan has me chuckling a BIT [biggrin] Trust is funny. I have Zero trust in anything dependent on shonky power, political or electrical supply[thumbsupbig]
"Kazakhstan's crypto mining farms are mostly powered by ageing coal plants which, along with coal mines and the towns built around them, are a headache for authorities seeking to decarbonise the economy."
So much triva in that its funny.
this made me chuckle "Moon Cube Mystery: Chinese Rover Finds It’s Just a Rock
A blurry image that China’s space program had called the “mystery hut” was a result of camera angle, light and shadow.
"
A bit like statistics. Lies, Dammed Lies and statistics? [biggrin] From NY times

"The RAC has accused petrol retailers of ripping off motorists by refusing to pass on wholesale price cuts.The motoring organisation said unleaded petrol fell by 2p a litre, but should have come down by 12p.
It estimated drivers were overcharged by £5m a day in December as retailers made an average of 16p a litre on petrol instead of the normal 6p.
The Petrol Retailers Association objected, saying drivers were likely to have benefited more than that.
"December was a rotten month for drivers as they were taken advantage of by retailers," said the RAC's fuel spokesman, Simon Williams.
In the past, he said, retailers had always reduced pump prices when wholesale prices dropped."
