    Blow to Monsanto and Bayer as court orders a $2bn Roundup payout

    Dieselgate was, for me as a non-concerned citizen, Piech's revenge for firing him. Then he bought the right shares at bottom value - only to pass away super rich? And that all played into the EV agenda. Oh how I love a billion Euro conspiracy! :-) VW paid $33 billion which was 1/10th of 2024...

    US Politics: Tariff Wars

    Why not have a fly-by of 1.610 fighter jets? As Guderian said: Klotzen, nicht kleckern! (you have to translate this yourself)

    NERSA warns municipalities to submit cost of supply studies for electricity price hikes

    Like mentioned elsewhere: Add two or three 550Wp modules on your roof to supply to geyser. Easy savings.

    Was that the R2 billion software package a decade ago?

    Getting a solar system for under R1,000 per month in South Africa

    Instead of feeding a battery (i.e. Powewall) you warm up water which you need anyway. Since it lasts a while, it's a storage system.

    Getting a solar system for under R1,000 per month in South Africa

    "...for under R1.000 pm." I let them calculate, and turns out I save R100 pm. If my roof points the right way.

    Which car for R350k?

    I bought one with 120k mls. And there are two MY 2008 for less and only 92k km and 109k km for sale right now on autotrader. And while you ask, why would I buy a POS 1.x litre eco-box which falls apart soon and depreciates like crazy? With nil performance? Even if the Cayman costs more to...

    Which car for R350k?

    Well: "Single guy, no plans to get married or have children in the next couple of years." I knew we are discussing a (fairly) new car, but it was too tempting to advise to get a Cayman. And in reality Caymans are at their lowest now and will not lose any more value. As do the 996. But the...

    Stage 6 is back till further notice. From 5 September 2023 at 5am.

    My comment was a bit tongue-in-cheek. When we shed a few 1.000 MW, we should gave capacity in the grid of a few 1.000 MW. Wasn't that what RMI was meant for? And nobody shall mention that thing floating for 20 years in a bay, to rot.

    Stage 6 is back till further notice. From 5 September 2023 at 5am.

    So what is government planning to do about the power cuts? I read in a book that a minister is not signing for a 3.000 MW gas turbine since years. Why not build wind and solar and buy as you go until the grid is strengthened? And start their 20 year PPA later? And don’t tell me there is no...

    Do you send voice notes?

    I typically hate receiving voice notes. In all-day meetings you cannot listen to them without disturbing others. Neither in noisy environment, when you just cannot hear them.
