  10. 1/2
    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. @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
