    Soon to be new Dad. Any advice?

    Our little girl finally started going from back to tummy at 7.5 months. We think she could have for a lot longer, she just didn't want to. She can sit, has been pulling herself up to standing from around 3 months old, but when she's on her back she just stares us down and makes angry arm...

    Colonoscopy - the good, the bad and the schitty

    I think proper GA relaxes the muscles too such an extent that you can't breathe on your own?

    Colonoscopy - the good, the bad and the schitty

    Haven't had your prostate checked yet, eh? First one was quite traumatic and I felt properly violated, probably because I had an inflamed prostate. And also the thlop sound it makes when he removes the dildo shaped, condom covered sonar probe. He then wiped what I imagine to be poop, where the...

    Colonoscopy - the good, the bad and the schitty

    Ah yes, the spit braai, that's what I had as well.

    Colonoscopy - the good, the bad and the schitty

    The surgeon who did mine said something about renting a theatre in hospital instead of doing it in her rooms so that medical aid would cover it, so I guess there could be a scenario where it isn't covered.

    Colonoscopy - the good, the bad and the schitty

    Due to family history of colon cancer, I'm supposed to get a colonoscopy every 2 years since age 40. The last one was also just 24 hours of ****, but I'm pretty sure the previous one had me on the throne for a whole weekend. Or it just felt like it. During the last one I had so much clear liquid...

    Is LG C1 the best?

    This is probably available in most of the newer or higher end TVs, but our LG CS supports 2 pairs of BT headphones. These two pairs of headphones can adjust their own volume individually of the TV. This means that we can watch whatever we want, at the volume we want, with our baby sleeping in...

    US Politics: Emperor Wears No Clothes

    Probably because of who else is on the list.

    WiFi Kettle

    I didn't read the whole thread, so someone probably mentioned it before me, but when I looked at the Xiaomi one, you couldn't actually start the kettle remotely. You could only do some other useless "smart" stuff like set the temperature.

    Something needs to be done about cold callers - I'm Roaming

    Nedbank does. SARS does. I haven't closed anything since leaving SA except for stuff that only applies there, like insurance etc. The only issue I have is that Nedbank wants me to FICA, but I can't change my address to a non-SA one online. My phone number was changed using the app right after I...

    Am I really out of luck? [Adobe]

    Especially the cloud an AI stuff, which is probably their biggest justification of high subscription costs.

    Lightroom alternatives?

    I think On1 + Affinity photo are the winners. On1 has a perpetual licence, and a 30 day trial that doesn't require payment details. Plenty of sliders and easily accessible presets, which should take care of 80% of my needs. Affinity photo will take care of curves or any other edits. The...

    Am I really out of luck? [Adobe]

    I already have it, but it's much slower to use than Lightroom. Lightroom has the organising part, which I need, and then the 2 click to fix any white balance and exposure issues, which tends to be all I want to do 90% of the time. I think I've found my replacement though - On1. More info in...

    Lightroom alternatives?

    I'm installing On1 now. In the past I used Darktable, which turned out to be a waste of time. It just took me too long to learn. At the moment I'm using Adobe Bridge and Affinity Photo which works better for me, but I still really miss Lightroom's "Auto" button. In the past I tried...

    Am I really out of luck? [Adobe]

    Or where I am now Motherf.... Nice 4c discount when you pre-pay for a year. How much is my time worth? It's been more than a decade since I last pirated an application and I thought the risk of malware and randsomeware is too great. Now I wonder if it really is too great... I just want to...
