image Aussies — did anyone get one of these Marvel popcorn tins back in 2010/11 or 2015?
Long shot, but I'm hoping someone in Australia might remember these.
I'm chasing three metal cinema popcorn tins, and I think Australia is where at least two of them came from.
- Iron Man 2, 2010 — the silver tin in the first photo. I know this one was released in Australia.
- Captain America: The First Avenger — the one in the second photo, the one that says "Only at the Movies". Also an Australian release as far as I know.
- Fantastic Four, 2015 — the dark one in the third photo,
Not the 2025 First Steps buckets. I don't know where this one came out — could it have been Australia too? If you saw it at a cinema here in 2015, that would be a huge help.
I'm in Chicago now but I'll pay shipping from anywhere, so location isn't a problem if you've got one or you've seen one for sale.
I've already searched Facebook Marketplace, eBay, Gumtree, Trade Me and Vinted pretty thoroughly, so I'm really just hoping someone here has one tucked away or remembers where they got theirs.
If you've got one or you've seen one, drop a comment with a link and I'll take it from there. Condition isn't a dealbreaker. Cheers and thank you in advance.

no politics Quest Breach
Wanted to share my ongoing battle with to get them to tell me what data of mine was breached. Like true corporate heroes with a place in our collective hearts, and after multiple email back and forth, they have just started ignoring me.
Here was my original email to Quest:
Hi Quest Privacy Team,
Thank you for notifying me of the breach and I acknowledge actions taken to address the event within your systems. I am a cybersecurity professional, so I do understand the consequences of having my data breached in this way. I am requesting further information on the exact details regarding my breached personal data. You have stated:
- Your full name
- Your email and/or other contact details
Please be specific and let me know what “other contact details” are, as this is important and may affect how I need to respond. Also, can you confirm if my payment details were not breached? If you can’t confirm this, I will have to assume breach so please be specific; which of my financial details do you hold.
While I appreciate the steps you have taken to remedy the breach, the only support you have provided me is to advise me to be vigilant and contact IDCare. The risk of identity theft and financial loss I am exposed to is in no way my own fault and wholly due to your negligence. The support you have offered me is grossly insufficient.
Based on the above, I request you provide the following:
- Exact detail of my known breached personal data.
- Exact details of personal data held that you can not confirm has not been breached, this includes financial data, drivers licence etc.
- Fully funded enrolment in a dark web monitoring service for a minimum of 5 years.
- Support to update identity or financial data such as drivers licence and payment cards.
- Guidance on your intentions to provide financial recompense for affected customers.
I thank you for your consideration of my points raised above. I know I have raised some serious issues and demands. As a cyber professional I have a deep understanding of the risks I have now been exposed to and I need to put in place measures to protect myself.
I would like to continue this dialogue if you have anyone that wants to reach out to me personally.
Regards,
xxxx

culture & society AFP boss warns boys as young as 12 being radicalised at home
“Australia's top cop Krissy Barrett has warned teenage boys as young as 12 are being radicalised in their bedrooms, lured by a chaotic blend of violent jihadism, white supremacy and anti-government rage.
“Appearing before Senate Estimates on Tuesday, Commissioner Barrett pointed to an internal analysis of 55 youth cases — involving children aged between 12 and 17 — that reveals a chilling evolution in modern extremism.
All of the subjects were male, and every single one was radicalised all or in part online.”

no politics Carine Senior High School - Earliest use of the word 'bogan'
Apparently, the earliest use of the word 'bogan' in its modern form is from the 1983 Carine Senior High school magazine 'Writings on the Wall'.
>Im’ a yere 10 bogan (one of the tuffest) I’ve got an earing in my ere and I’d at one in my nose if me mum wood let me.
I cannot confirm this though and I would love to know if anyone has an actual copy or scan. Considering how entrenched this word is, an original copy of its first use in print would be pretty amazing.
Can anyone help out?
