    Reporting BobPay for unethical behaviour

    Not great throwing a junior under the bus, even if not explicitly named. It does not reflect poorly on the junior, who is expected to make mistakes, it reflects poorly on your process. Lack of reviews, oversight and mentoring, testing etc.

    US Politics: Everything Is Worse And It's All Biden's Fault

    Can he just "accidentally" fall out the plane on the way back? Not like we want him either. EDIT: I replied to the wrong message.

    Eskom's solar registration fee exemption deadline looms

    I'm out of the loop. Since when was there a R10 000 solar registration fee?!

    US Politics: Everything Is Worse And It's All Biden's Fault

    I don’t think she tried to run over or even bump into the agent, I think she was trying to flee. But I can reach this conclusion by having the luxury of being able to view footage from multiple different angles at my leisure. The agent was in front of the car with his gun drawn issuing...

    Memory and solid-state storage prices surge

    All this waste for dead end tech with extremely narrow real world application.

    Nelspruit granny stabbed to death in smash and grab shortly after arriving in Cape Town

    Travesty that so many of routes in/out of the Cape Town airport are a deathtrap.

    OUTA gives advice to victims of number plate cloning

    I’ve even received fines from Joburg for plates that weren’t mine and have never been. I also haven’t been to Joburg for well over a decade. I can’t imagine what kind of incompetence/corruption allows this to happen.

    US Politics: Emperor Wears No Clothes

    I agree on this. The AI spend/investing is completely out of touch with reality and there's there's no money in it, except for Nvidia. When the penny finally drops, its going to devastating. The tech sector is going to be in tatters as companies aggressively cost cut to try recover the wasted...

    ANC declares an economic emergency and sets up ‘War Room’

    They see the outcome of a dying/stagnant economy that cannot support the current population, let alone a growing population. They recognize it as the root cause of most of the suffering in modern South Africa. Good. They completely fail to understand/refuse to admit to themselves how to even...

    RIP Charlie Kirk

    I think its trying to solve a problem at the wrong end, like price controls. Barely have to lift a finger to band aid the problem by introducing quotas, popular with the voters (here) as well so its a no-brainer. Bloody hard work to address the issue of access to a reasonable minimum quality of...

    RIP Charlie Kirk

    Passing an exam or holding a required qualification is a minimum bar. Still lots of people who are bad at their job, even if they are qualified to do it.

    South Africa does not impose special additional import taxes on electric vehicles except for imports from Europe and the UK

    Ad Valorem (luxury) tax is also crazy here. At minimum the floor needs to be doubled or tripled, ideally scrapped completely.

    [Australia] Young woman exposes bleak reality for millions of Australians: 'I'm working poor'

    No shame in moving to a lower cost of living area as well. Hardly a secret that densely packed cities are VARKING expensive to live in and have terrible quality of life, unless you are extremely wealthy.

    RIP Charlie Kirk

    The idea of lifelong loyalty to a political party is ridiculous. The people in them change, the leadership changes, the values change.
