    Yip... I struggle to choose my favourite fib between his uncle been eaten by cannibals and being arrested going to visit Nelson Mandela.

    Joe Biden pulls out of 2024 US presidential race

    36-37 Senators/reps had already publicly come out against him running. Obama / Nancy where reported to be pushing him hard behind close doors. But somehow you manage to spin that into give him a sainthood halo... bravo.

    Joe Biden pulls out of 2024 US presidential race

    For the life of me I can not understand how the Dems planned on finalizing their candidate list AFTER the deadline that some states have for candidate submission.

    Joe Biden pulls out of 2024 US presidential race

    Dems are between a rock and a hard place. Kamala's polling is even lower than Joe's and he was under water. But signs are that with Joe on the ticket they would loss the Presidency, the house and senate. And while there are others in the party that would be able to give Trump a better show or at...

    Joe Biden pulls out of 2024 US presidential race

    Or maybe just that he is so under water in the polling against Trump on pretty much EVERY topic. Or that following the disaster of a debate, the tide is turning against him in his party + the donor class are calling for him to step down as they are trying to rescue all (D)'s down ticket seats in...

    Second hand EV prices plummeting in South Africa

    To each their own... Since as I understand Nissan did the same with the Leaf, >2010 = 23kWh >2017 = 40kWh >2019 = 40, ~60kWh The difference is BMW did active liquid cooling from the beginning, where Nissan always relied on passive air cooling.

    Solar panels will remain affordable in South Africa even with the new 10% import duty

    Per a previous article ARTSolar layed off 180 people because they could not "compete" with the chinese imports. So now EVERY person trying to be paterotic by reducing their usage is being hit with a 10% cadre tax. On some of these large scale solar projects with 1000's of panels this the 10% is...

    Ramaphosa to sign National Health Insurance Bill into law

    The last two have their own versions of NHI... And while the first is extreme to the point of ridiculousness, I still prefer it over the others.

    Solar power system installation - a first-hand account

    Congrats! Tho looking at the layout of your roof… did you consider placing the panels in landscape orientation instead? For ~(guesstimate) R8000 more (3x panels, a rail, brackets and some additional 6mm2 wire you could get ~33% more generation out of that same setup.

    ISPA releases national fibre mapping project report

    Unfortunate, but true. My experience; we had Vumatel promising to lay fibre in our area but not delivering. So when a metrofibre contractor started trenching for a large complex in our area.
