In Australia there are a lot of seniors discounts available for over 50s that I think maybe they shouldn't be entitled to.

Eligibility for the aged pension is currently being gradually increased to 67, it's around 64 or 65 at the moment depending on your gender. I think within 10 years 67 will be the eligible age for an aged pension for everyone. I think any discounts pensioners can get are fine - the pension certainly wouldn't cover everything but whether it's the aged pension, disability or whatever, I don't see a huge difference.

Awesome! And totally appropriate Australia Day reading.

I predict that in the event of a zombie apocalypse the greatest death toll will be from people trying to build & use things like this. I also predict that assuming I don't get zombiefied in the first few minutes, I shall be one of those people.

The first thing I'd print would probably be a mini-me, and then maybe Godzilla, or King Kong or Rodan, so I could heroically battle the monster/s and take over the world!

But eventually the novelty would wear off and I could make all sorts of replacement things for the little bits that need fixing, like the oven light switch that broke years ago but would cost a fortune to get replaced professionally.

That's really cute. I thought it was going to be something stupid right up until the end where it gave me a chuckle.

I assume by the starting price that he's not actually trying to sell it. Anyway, kudos to him for the perseverance, smack up the back of the head for wasting all that perseverance on something so silly. :)

I never had the canned food thing because my parents were older and so am I. Plus I grew up in a smallish country town so fresh food was probably cheaper than canned and was definitely cheaper than frozen. I totally understand the bank account panic and the clothes shopping though.

You know it's a bad piece of legislation when China is holding it up as an example of how the world sees the benefits of censorship.

That was really interesting! Necessity really is the mother of invention.

Aww he's so cute! What a wonderful job they're doing at the Bat World Sanctuary.

That's really well done. I love how he incorporates the images with their surroundings.

I'd like to think that maybe one of the "impersonators" was the real thing, just choosing not to use some silly signal to prove that they are in fact The Poe Toaster.

That's wonderful! I'm stunned by how seamlessly it slots in. They make it look so easy, although it must be horrendously time consuming & fiddly.

Thanks, that's really interesting! It's wonderful that they found such a great way to deal with a horrible thing like slavery. It's such a pity that modern day packaging is causing a problem though.
