    Trial for cashless gaming expands to 4,400 new machines at pubs and hotels

    That sounds crazy and goes against all the things being put in place to stop gamblers spending too much. I actually thought that using debit or credit cards in machines wasn't allowed. Maybe it's a special card they have to purchase that would limit their spending??

    How opioid discontinuations are devastating thousands of cancer and chronic pain patients

    I remember all that now that you mention it, an I remember the cost being ridiculous. I was invited to take part in a trial a while back, but I wasn't right for it for some reason. It would have been interesting if nothing else.

    How opioid discontinuations are devastating thousands of cancer and chronic pain patients

    From what I gather, the medical version doesn't have the ingredient that makes you high. Shame in some ways, but means it can be taken any time

    Discover this 'delicious' money-saving tip to help you get every last drop from your mustard jar!

    I remember in the "olden days" we used to pour a little bit of tea (out of the teapot on the table) into the tomato sauce bottle to get the last out of it. Didn't taste much different, just not quite as thick.

    This bakery's mess-free trick will change how you cut vanilla slices forever

    Why do all the recipes I've seen recently use vanilla pudding? I used to make vanilla slices with lattice biscuits but used actual custard (made pretty thick) - now that's a vanilla slice

    Woolies delivery driver gets fined for not reverse parking: ‘Take it to court!’

    Not everyone, that's what started the discussion - there was a white care also not rear to kerb

    Woolies delivery driver gets fined for not reverse parking: ‘Take it to court!’

    Not a tabletop, a Pantech where the rear doors have to be opened to unload. He would have been able to unload while parked rear to kerb, but because the footpath looks quite narrow, he would have been completely blocking the path. Which is worse? In this case there should be exceptions, or a...

    The Seniors Discount Club Christmas Charity Fundraiser!

    I want to say the RFDS, but I really think Matthew Talbot Hostel is an excellent charity, especially at this time of year.

    Trial for cashless gaming expands to 4,400 new machines at pubs and hotels

    I'm a bit behind here. What is a "cashless" pokie? Is it just pretend? Or do players purchase a card with a set limit? Or purchase an amount that is fed straight to the machine? Or something completely different?

    Unseen Christmas crisis may be on the horizon for many vulnerable Australians

    I don't understand why empty buildings are not being utilised. They may not be as good as accommodation currently on offer, but surely if they're clean and dry, people would be happy to have a roof over their heads. The only reason I have heard is that it would cost too much - what rubbish...

    The Fading Melody of Landline Telephones: On the Toll of Technological 'Progress'

    That sounds a bit odd, unless she is talking about making VOIP calls, which act like a landline, but are actually over the internet. Or maybe she's talking about line rental and such?

    The Fading Melody of Landline Telephones: On the Toll of Technological 'Progress'

    And speaking of telephone books, I said to my grand daughter (aged 27) that I would look it up in the phone book. She had no idea what I was talking about, had never seen one or used one. I still use my local one occasionally, but now I think about it, it's been a while since they published a...

    Meta pulls the plug on its cross-app messaging feature between Facebook and Instagram

    Pretty sure the emails aren't on the way out, only the providers providing email addresses. Don't actually understand why, but it just means that everyone who doesn't want to go through the Messaging company (can't remember it's name) and possibly have to pay for the privilege will go to Gmail...

    Is Kmart's new kiosk revolutionising shopping?

    I like the idea of Select and Collect - it really is difficult manhandling large items. And the "new" idea of checkouts at the exit, don't know why they ever changed - it was just dumb!
