    What is your primary source of drinking water?

    Tap water (living in Randburg). Recently was in the Western Cape and stayed a few days in Muizeburg. Water had such a strong brackish taste we actually got bottled water for a bit. Shortly after relocated to Strand for the remainder of the time down there and did not have the same issue there so...

    Are you keeping your Prime subscription?

    Disney+ is R1590 annually. Prime is R400. Value for money wise its incredible just for the streaming package. The shopping perks are gravy. Definitely worth it. Cancelled Disney+.

    Movie Mini-Review Thread - Part IV

    Saw the Man from UNCLE was on Prime and remembered it fondly so showed the teens it last night. Was a hit with them. Really decent action comedy. 8/10 for me. Pity it ended there. Could have been a fun series. Also hilarious to have a British actor playing an American, and the American, playing...

    Roads in the Northern Cape under pressure

    Drove up the N12 over the last two days and there was a section between 3 sisters and Kimberley where there were significant potholes on the N12 highway. A 120 zone with massive holes that can appear out of nowhere. Surprised it has not caused more deaths. Some roadworks happening shortly after...

    Eskom CEO sends a message to President Ramaphosa

    Hmmm. Odd that he has to send the message via the press. One would assume that Eskom's CEO has the presidents email address. Feels like this is a CEO doing the biggest CYA email of all time. Gonna put it out there in public so that when you ignore me and it hits the fan I can say told ya so. No...

    Russo-Ukrainian War - 2022 Edition - Part 11

    Not losing, but also not exactly winning. Both sides are taking major attritional losses. Both sides are having victories but also setbacks. Russia has recently advanced in some areas and taken new ground but at a glacially slow pace. Feels like Ukraine is having more success to me right now...

    Looking for Anime Fans

    My son loves One piece. Personally always found it irritating. Started watching Naruto with the kids to show them a better action Anime.

    How frequently are you watching FIFA World Cup 2026 matches?

    Occasionally check the points tables so that I can at least follow the conversation loosely.

    Emfuleni municipality wants to add extra fee for home solar users

    These guys can go fly a kite. I will boycott any attempt to charge me for having solar the same way I boycotted etolls and I suspect most other Saffas will too.

    I've abandoned my principles...

    The wife's work recently switched them over to mac laptops and she has been impressed. She works in design/marketing and they are decent for that. Battery life is amazing, price was honestly better than the windows equivalent, and it works for her. Has been a bit of a mission after so many years...
