As an Australian, I feel compelled to apologise to the printing world every time that Canva is mentioned.

Probably our greatest shame as a nation, and we have a few big ones.  ;D ;D

More like the bleeding edge of technology. We're had a couple. Managed to make them print to the digital, but i hope we don't get any more.

That pales into insignificance compared to the shame Australian print professionals feel over Canva.

The dickheads who use Canva wouldn't know the difference, they thinks it's great because it's free to use. There is a very good reason for that.

Quote from: DigiCorn on September 08, 2022, 10:29:39 AMMy wife and I saw an ad for Canva the other day. I was like, "thank gawd I'm not printing anymore. You just know someone is going to send a Canva file and it's going to be shit and they're going to be like, 'But it's the cutting edge of technology; it's all over tv! Don't you guys know what you're doing over there?'"
Lots of Canva jobs coming through lately, most from (supposedly) higher-Ed institutions. Actually had a CSR send a link to a clients' Canva page so WE could generate the PDF directly from their account. Uh, how about - nope?
A little diddie 'bout black 'n cyan...two reflective colors doin' the best they can.

Isn't Australia the country that's home to like 7 of the world's 10 deadliest snakes, plus you've got crocodiles, killer spiders, drowning monsoons and baking heat. And the Platypus. That thing looks cute, but it'll kill you in a second. You think I'm joking, but I'm not.  The platypus is one of the few living mammals to produce venom. The venom is made in venom glands that are connected to hollow spurs on their hind legs. A clinical report from 1992 showed that the severe pain was persistent and did not respond to morphine.



Essentially, the whole island says go away or we'll kill you. Still people live there... but only on the edges. There's nothing in the middle except that big flat rock.

The first time I ever saw Crocodile Hunter, I forget it if he was in Africa chasing ostriches, or the middle part of Australia chasing emus... either way, he was chasing a big, stupid bird in the back of a pickup narrating the whole thing. One cut in front of the truck at high speed, and Steve went flying out and got trampled. He gets up and his ear is half hanging off. As he continues the narration, he says something to the effect of, "Well, I lost half my ear, but there's no doctor or anybody to stitch it back on, so off we go to continue..." That was when I knew this dude was badass. Too bad a stingray took him out, but it was an Australian stingray, just like the island life, they'll take you out too.
"There's been a lot of research recently on how hard it is to dislodge an impression once it's been implanted in someone's mind. (This is why political attack ads don't have to be true to be effective. The other side can point out their inaccuracies, but the voter's mind privileges the memory of the original accusation, which was juicier than any counterargument ever could be.)"

The Platypus is fairly harmless, you don't see too many of them and the chances of touching one is almost non existent. I've seen a few in the wild while sitting quietly in my boat on a quiet stream, the slightest noise or movement will send them underwater and away.

Much bigger and more dangerous stuff here to be worried about than platypuses.

These guys https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bunyip are much more dangerous and to be avoided at all costs. There have been no known sightings as it is assumed all those that have seen one have perished soon after.
