    Blood donation is voluntary in Australia - no money is paid you just get the snack shown so you don't faint afterwards. All part of being a good citizen.

    Ryan, ALL Australian electoral activities (local, state & federal - such as elections & referenda) are normally/usually held on a Saturday (8:00am to 6:00pm). Early, postal, remote & electronic voting is encouraged/enabled for the two weeks up to the designated Saturday. Participation is mandatory for EVERYONE over 18 years of age. Voter suppression is unheard of here.

At this stage we still had possession of the keys after she did the inspection , i told her as i still had the keys i was going to go back in and leave a deuce on the kitchen floor that was going be worth our bond for her to clean up , needless to say we got our bond back.

      the real-estate wanted to us to pay to have a bunch wear marks on the door frames repainted. we disputed it and said we would fix it, we get there and there is a painter there repainting the whole house, he was booked in to do the job BEFORE we even moved out. he told us they booked him in to paint ceiling, walls and trim weeks before our move out date. he even showed us the email they sent him days after we put our notice in that we were moving out, well before we moved out. luckily we had not bought supplies yet.
      we ended up calling them on their shit and threatened to take them to the tribunal over it, they dropped that and few other small things they were trying to get us on (a small oil stain on the driveway and a dead fly in the window track).

      the house was also for sale and they would try and bring people around with next to no notice, they would call up and say we want to bring someone around this afternoon, our answer would always be "48 hours written notice" particularly after they 3rd group of people who they showed through, it was obvious they had not even looked at the photos of the place.

      Another fun fact. The dual tubes allow measure of speed from first wheel impact, then timing of following wheel impacts gives wheel spacing (each wheel, or pair of wheels causes two pressure spikes for the two tubes). Can be used to differentiate between motorcycles, cars, trucks/rigs and trailers. Hence, good estimate of numbers and types of vehicles using the route. Or, I might have imagined this!

Mostly to avoid this kind of situations in which people donate up to it being unhealthy. Here you can donate plasma once a month and blood max three times a year. But most of the time it is twice a year. All to be sure the person donating is not affected.
    In return? Snacks to get some energy back before leaving and sometimes a small present when you hit a mark. I have had an umbrella and a water pitcher when I donated for 5 years or 50 times.

    Long comment incoming, regarding the 'black lines across the road'. 15:42
    I used to work for a Local Government Council (Shire or Council, for those Aussies here) some time ago, and I can confirm, those 'two black lines' across the road are used for recording traffic data.
    Those black lines across the road are (usually) a single hollow tube which has a sensor in a box (which is missing in the photo pair shown) and goes around a fixed point, usually a signpost, and then sends an air pulse to the aforementioned sensor.
    Due to the length of the tube, the sensor can not only tell things like what side of the road a vehicle was travelling on, but also things like how many axles a vehicle had (like either a road-train or a motorcycle ex.) and how fast they were travelling - (they can measure speed for sure - I remember a reading on one for two vehicles, a stolen car and then a Highway Patrol, I found out later) - along with a few other things I'm sure I can't remember.
    With this data, in Australia anyways, a Council/Shire could vie for funding from the State to improve or rectify roads.

    Don’t worry snakes can and do find their way into houses in Australia, one of my friends two cousins came home after a night down their local pub only to find their two cattle dogs were bitten and died in the kitchen from an eastern brown snake that found its way inside the house and I had a fat tiger snake that was living under my house that I tried to capture unsuccessfully for a couple of weeks until my wife rang me at work to tell me that a car ran over one out the front on the road which we were pretty sure was the one under the house, I must admit that it was a little bit worrying sleeping at night knowing there was one of the bastards underneath!

    In the old days, 2 wires on the road meant it was a speedometer, where the speed was gauged from the time it took in between hitting the 2 wires. These days, there's usually only one and it counts the number of cars that use that road. They're usually attached to a small box of some kind.

    @16:16 the black tubes that run across the road are traffic counters they are filled with air , as a car/truck drives over them the weight of the vehicle will push the air to 1 end and in turn presses a counter to count them its more reliable then paying people to sit and count cars.

    another thing with the burger price, you have to remember, we don't do the whole tipping thing, so if you add 15-25% on what you thing that would be worth in the USA, then you can compare do the conversion and compare the prices.
    for a burger that size and what looks like it would be a very good burger, thats a good price. looks like its in a restaurant/pub/fancy burger place, $20 for a burger 'meal' like that is a decent price.
    for example, our local pub, which is a pretty cheap place to eat sell their burgers for $22 with a side of chips.

    In Australia we pay our staff properly, we don't top, because of that we pay slightly more for the burger but without tip, works out about the same overall... Also I'd say that's hand made brioche and Wagyu meat, especially with the wanky wooden tray under it...

    I rented a townhouse in Sydney a while back, through a realtor. When it came time to vacate, a chick from the realtor came over to do a final inspection. She had a long pole with her, which I was confused about. As she walked in the front door, she planted the pole down on the carpet. It left a black ring imprinted on the carpet. I didn’t say anything at first. When she was done, she said the bond would be returned “except for what’s needed to repair the cigarette burn in the carpet,” referring to the ring she had planted. I raised holy hell about it, reported it to the Gov board that runs the bond thing (I forget, they hold the bond). Apparently, as I found out, I wasn’t supposed to follow her in as she made the inspection. I caught her red-handed trying to scam us for at least $500 to repair the carpet. I don’t know if the realtor got smacked for it, I certainly hope they did.

It is volunteered. That way, you don't incentivise drug addicts to give blood, which seems like a sensible approach to me. The "payment" was a bit of food and drink that presumably reduces the chance of people passing out after donating blood. Milo rhymes with silo. HSP is Halal snack pack, which is kebab meat, chips/fries and sauces in a foam box. Delicious. That thing in the road is for counting cars. They attach a box to it. It helps to plan the roads.
