    SA Post Office issues new stamp

    These might have some collector value. One of the few postal stamp issues where the underlying entity has no intention of ever delivering the envelope it's stuck on. 3 days ago I received a whole pile of mail in 1 go. Some of it sent last year in Nov.

    Water mafia in South Africa damages pipes and pumps to disrupt supply and make money from tankers

    I think a fact finding mission for her and her entourage is the answer. Maybe to one of Dubai's 7 star hotels. Private flights of course, no use flying commercial and arriving tired for your 3 week bosberaad. There they can go on a yacht, and then look at some water.

    MyBB Motorcycle Owners Thread (2nd gear)

    The amount of money and effort going into that thing must have been huge. Yet the result is an ugly, impractical, uncomfortable most likely semi unrideable pile of junk. That's what happens when you surround yourself with a team of yes men. Sometimes you need to stop asking if you can, and ask...

    Was the Airlink flyover too low?

    I'm firmly of the side of the safety 3rd mindset. If you always do safety 1st nothing worthwhile ever happens. But in this instance the risk/benefit analysis is not good. On the upside: Some people go 'whooo!' and wave their arms. On the downside: Tens of thousands die in a jet fuel fireball...

    What is driving the current “anti alcohol” rhetoric online

    I have another theory. (Regarding the original question) Wearable fitness trackers. Since I've got my latest Garmin, I've cut my boozing by more than half. Any more than 2 drinks, and I wake up with a flat lining body battery, I still feel fine, but it obviously affects my body and has a...

    What is driving the current “anti alcohol” rhetoric online

    I reckon you can draw direct a correlation between the emergence of good cellphone cameras and social media, and the drop in alcohol consumption. I could to stupid ****, and by Monday it's forgotten, not splashed over Facebook.

    Are you for or against worker unions?

    We once had to get rid of the most useless programmer I’ve ever encountered in the industry. This is over a period of almost 30 years of working with hundreds of coders, many of whom were drug addicts, alcoholics, or raging lunatics. Guess who had a union and turned a simple “Here’s a payoff...

    Important new rules for anyone using the iconic Sea Point Promenade

    Yoh. That's 2 of the most stereotypical looking stereotypes I've seen in a long time. One of them just needs a tabletop haircut and more sensible sandals, and the picture could be used as a stock photo where needed.

    Important new rules for anyone using the iconic Sea Point Promenade

    Ha yes, very irritating. I'm not in Cape Town, But I do have a beach front walkway near my house where I walk my dogs every morning. It's like driving on a highway, before you dare to step left or right you have to look in your blind spot in case some geriatric on an e-bike is coming for you...

    Important new rules for anyone using the iconic Sea Point Promenade

    Old bullets and biddies with zero riding skills on e-bikes are a source of stress for me. They sneak up on you in silence at 40km/h and have no idea how to control their bikes. They also like to get huffy when someone gets in their way.

    How much money do you earn? And how do you spend it?

    Exactly. I can't fathom how a doctor finds himself unemployed. The demand is massive and the supply limited. Many want full payment up front, and the patient claims from medical aid after the fact. It takes many day to weeks to get a booking. At +- R750 per 15 minute consultation it...

    Yes, that's how they make a living. Not sure what your point is. Yes
