    On the other hand Binder brother Darryn won the 2026 MotoAmerica Supersport Championship in his rookie season with two races remaining.

    MotoGP 2026

    We hope for the best noting that he and Oliveira seem very equal in ability through the classes except Brad took the Moro3 championship. Oliveira has had some big accidents as well, Brad not so bad.

    Amazon-owned Boeing 767 cargo plane crashes after overshooting runway in Miami

    There have been some insinuations that the pilots first language is not English and that some loophole was used for the paperwork to allow the planes to operate in the US when in fact the company owners were in Canada. This is one

    UN votes to adopt new world map to reflect Africa's true size

    They were very organised and ran a tight ship with dedicated people; I started doing some work for them when Ray Butler was the main peanut, Harold Taylor in materials then guys who are more recently retired, Craig Northwood etc.

    UN votes to adopt new world map to reflect Africa's true size

    Hmmm, another default is to show true north "up" although I usually have track or route up on a Garmin GPS. But any map projection changes are just visual surely, ok, if roughly calculating some may take a scale ruler to a paper map but I haven't seen it in a long time. I maybe use a scale...

    Poverty in Argentina soars to over 50% as Milei’s austerity measures hit hard

    Trump aside maybe Milei sees the UK coughing up nice loot to Mauritius for the Chagos Islands as an opportunity.

    They can't, Lucky to be doing 0.5MW right now.

    Scepticism about gas-to-power plants in South Africa

    Very, very roughly you might get 1MW from 1m m3 of waste subject to age, composition, extraction efficiency, contaminants, even moisture content. This is just a snapshot, it will decline by at least 10% annually. 3 000MW = 3 000 x 1 000 000 a big number. SA's biggest landfill may have 30m m3...

    Scepticism about gas-to-power plants in South Africa

    I would say there is no need for the 3000MW of gas anyway as electricity demand from Eskom continues to fall. They can just muddle on with their installed capacity and be fine. At the rates charged they, Eskom, can use OEM's to run plants and all sit back and enjoy a bit of corruption on the...

    'They came with machetes' - deadline looms for migrants to leave South Africa

    No clue, just his comment in passing.

    SA Politics Thread Part 13 The Days of Madlanga

    Very true but does the tap have water? Or does one have to rely on a tanker from a cadre; ANC, EFF or ASA linked?

    'They came with machetes' - deadline looms for migrants to leave South Africa

    The other side of the coin. I have tribesmen in business in Zim and they tell me they are flooded with Zimbos who worked or were working in SA, well-qualified and experienced, desperate, just not enough work for them, obviously.

    New demerit system: What South African motorists need to know

    Ahem, I have done a fair bit of driving around in Zim, tourism and business and never had a hard time at a roadblock (not that I have in SA), usually just a quick word and waved through; no checks of fire extinguishers, safety vests etc (I have avoided Beit Bridge). Zim traffic police often...
