    Advice on mid sized SUV's (Mazda cx-5)

    For what it's worth I was also looking at the Kia range - specifically Seltos or Sportage - and although I was focusing more on a 2020-21 age I wasn't crazy about the build quality overall. Very nice to drive and a decent amount of power for the price. Ended up changing my picture slightly and...

    Permanent Residency proof?

    I have a similar background - got P.R. way back in the black and white days but I think I have a certificate of it somewhere. Would be interested to see how it pans out for you with home affairs...

    Best male and female vocalist of all time?

    Yes - mostly in the range up to F# above middle C, then down to the bottom D (occasionally).

    Best male and female vocalist of all time?

    Hadn't heard this one before. Rebroff was a pretty astounding talent in so many respects and did so much to showcase what the bass voice can do. As far as range goes he was a bit of a freak too, although it's pertinent to note that his higher notes are all in falsetto and not in chest/head...

    S&P 500

    I'm what you might politely term an investment ignoramus, but even at my level I'm aware of the total self-inflicted catastrophe you can bring on the value of your investments if you're the kind of person who reacts to a 'sell-off' over a couple of days. What most have so far said about the...

    South Africa loses visa-free entry to Ireland

    This potato-head (SA resident for over 40 yrs) completely understands. But just remember the Irish fought on the Boer side in that war... In fact they fought on both sides . But I'll be supporting the Boks for the next match. My take is they were probably leaned on by EU bureaucracy to...

    Best male and female vocalist of all time?

    The questions around vocal range are always interesting, but for me are essentially a sideshow. I find elegance and beauty of tone more interesting . In essence I place more importance on timbre and evenness throughout the range. In other words a decent useable range wins out over having a huge...

    Best male and female vocalist of all time?

    Totally agree the singers of today could be just as polished as some of the greats were even into the 19th century (Nellie Melba for example) but mostly it isn't possible to know except from written accounts of their artistry. Many famous composers we're inspired by the facility of their talents...

    Best male and female vocalist of all time?

    Ok so the gist of the thread being 'of all time' is kind of misleading seeing we don't have recordings of what was arguably an era of some of the most magnificent singers: namely the 'bel canto' (beautiful singing) age from around 1730 to 1850. However some of today's Opera singers who sing in...

    IcasaSePush gives examples of where Starlink has helped people in South Africa

    It's wonderful to see these positive stories. Just wish icasa would see the light but sadly ideology trumps pretty much anything that makes business sense.

    Disable AI in whatsapp

    For me it's primarily around having the choice. While we all know the principle that if the software is 'free' then you (and your data) are the product, and that it's likely already using everything we post to train on, having the ability to toggle it would be preferable.
