    So I was in a car accident ... don't be like me

    I've had my car start auto-braking when two runners were not yet in front of me, but it really looked like they were not going to stop and I'd hit them. That time the car and I braked at about the same time. That was in perfect weather in the day. I assume the camera would have a harder time...

    So I was in a car accident ... don't be like me

    I'd think suicide by car would work better on the highway, but if you are suicidal you might not be thinking straight.

    So I was in a car accident ... don't be like me

    I was driving through an intersection the other night after the light turned green. Guy starts crossing the road. This is a dual lane. So I calculate at our current speeds, we'll be fine....only for the dude to suddenly decide to turn and RUN back into my lane! Car auto braked before I could react.

    Rain and storm for Cpt pt 2

    Got completely soaked on a hike up Diagonal today. We were not expecting that...poor planning. Still 100% worth it.

    Vodacom customers who opt for a four-year iPhone 17 contract pay about 44% more than the cash price

    I got an iPhone SE in 2020 on a two year contract. All payments combined came to just over the cash price. Used that phone for 5 years (backup phone now) and thought I could do something similar again. Nope!

    EasyEquities-owner buys Australian company in R176 million deal

    Maybe they could have used R1 million of that to fix up the terrible EE GUI first.

    Chinese cars, are they as bad as everyone thinks?

    Sat behind a Tiggo 7 in traffic this evening. I could see both brake lights flicker (it was a very faint flicker, but still). Surely they must have figured out what the issue is by now? What does the dealer tell your friend?

    Rain and storm for Cpt pt 2

    Thickest and most persistent fog I’ve seen here in 10+ years. Had to resort to using my rear fog light (yes I know it can be irritating if you use it like a dumbass). Visibility less than 50m at 9:00 AM. Nice and peaceful outside now though.

    Chinese cars, are they as bad as everyone thinks?

    Interesting. It could be a bad driver with foot troubles riding the brakes. About 25% of the Cherry cars I stop behind have one or more brake lights out (various models) which bugs me.

    Why would MyBB forum not be loading on iPad Safari?

    Been happening on my iPhone and IPad for years. Just have to force close Safari and it works again for a few weeks. Not often enough to be a big problem for me.

    Indeed. Up this morning at 6:00 to get it done...

    FNB eBucks continues to record substantial growth

    I've given up on eBucks a long time ago, but I do earn a little when getting fuel at Engen. They added (or it was always there) a feature to "pay with ebucks" in the app. I could choose to cover a few recent card purchases with eBucks - so I got "refunded" for these transactions on my card. So...

    Is this a good budget soundbar? (Hisense HS5100)

    I’ve got this and it’s fine for the price. Works without any issues on HDMI and a Hisense TV. It gets loud enough for a smallish room. You can adjust the surround speaker volume and play with the tone a bit. Edit: no issues with TV direct or from Apple TV

    Reaching eBucks level 5 under FNB's new rules

    I just went to a branch and did it in person.

    Reaching eBucks level 5 under FNB's new rules

    Did it years ago: Easy PAYU + Aspire CC- and I still get enough Ebucks to mostly cover all the fees with just meager fuel rewards. Buy everything by tapping Apple watch/phone linked to CC. For me this deal is actually cheaper than Capitec (that I have as a backup).
