    Coway bidet toilet seat remote control holder.

    It is too big for the remote.
    The remote moves around when the button is pushed.

    (Thanks Coway. Your holder is not fit for purpose. smh. )

    I made a pad of expanded styrofoam measuring 71mm wide, 77mm tall and angled from ~6mm thick at the top to 7mm thick at the bottom.

    This will be put in the back bottom of the holder and held in place with double sided tape.

  15. #Duped, an AU Four Corners ABC investigation into food fraud on iView.

    Corporate capture of Australian governments federal and state exposed.

    Fish, eggs, tumeric & tomato sauces are shown to not be what they're claimed be.

    Slave labour in the global tomato growing.

    Hospitalisations due to allergens being present when the label explicitly states otherwise.

    #AgedCare too.

    I'd have thought this was a silly joke.

    But they're serious.

    "Trusted partners" - I'm seeing anyone proposing that they'll release medical and private data to anonymous others as inherently untrustworthy.

    A deal killer in my evaluation.

  17. Saw an escape attempt from a "locked ward" type aged care facility today.

    It appeared that a resident, perhaps early 70s, was leaving the facility with their younger family members to go on an excursion.

    Immediately they were out the final gate, the resident took off running.

    But their younger and stronger relative, in his 50s perhaps, gave chase and wrapped the escapee in his arms only 50 metres from the gate.

    What are you doing with your freedom?

  18. 1/?
    Went to a very high-end multi-storey aged care facility in Perth.
    You have to wait till the front desk gets staffed before you can get in the front door.

    Residents in wheelchairs attempting to enter the lifts have the lift doors shut before they can enter.

    Visitors attempting to use the lifts to descend will not until they ask staff "Where are the stairs as the lifts aren't working?", then the staff will enter the code to get the lifts working.

  19. @treleanor While it's great to see attention on malnutrition in aged care, the root of the problem lies in the privatisation of the system. The focus on cost-cutting has led to seniors being treated like numbers, not people, and now we're turning to lupins, which feel more like livestock feed than proper nutrition. Real care means investing in quality meals and support for the elderly, not finding the cheapest solution. #malnutrition #agedcare #privatisation #elderlycare #qualitycare #costcutting #seniorhealth #nutritionmatters #lupins #dignityforall #healthoverprofit
