    How to comfortably carry a self defence weapon all the time

    Yeah. That's not how any of this works. You watch too many movies and know too little about defensive firearm use.

    How to comfortably carry a self defence weapon all the time

    IMHO, get the gun, and go small. I have a G19, but it can get a bit heavy, I wish I went for a G43 or G43x A G43 is light, and easier to conceal than a fixed blade knife, when carried inside the waistband in a Kydex holster. The main issue with a knife is that 1 stab can kill, but not...

    How much does it cost to get a gun license

    Each to his own, but I'd be a nervous wreck. A laptop bag and it's contents is a sought after prize for our less scrupulous countrymen.

    How much does it cost to get a gun license

    So does dealer stocking it, or selling it, or donating it. It's not just a matter of giving or selling, there is a process to follow.

    When was the last time you received a speeding fine?

    The N2 (and some B roads) in the Garden route seems to be designed to generate fines. I live in the area, I own a slow car and stick to the speed limit where I know it, but it's still a battle. It can go 120,80,60,100,40,100,80,60,120 in a few KMs, often badly signposted.

    Ramaphosa to step into the lion’s den

    Well it looks like Trump and Iran are great buddies now. It's hard to keep up with his Middle East tour.

    Ramaphosa to step into the lion’s den

    Jokes aside. How does one prepare for a meeting with Trump. He's about as likely to go of on a tangent about something that only exists in his head as he is to suddenly turn around and give SA a great trade deal. Hard to say. I say stroke his ego, (remember to say thank you), and things might...

    Ramaphosa to step into the lion’s den

    Some possible upcoming headlines. -AGOA is cancelled because something something racism. -SA is getting sanctioned because of mumble mumble white supremacy. -We're no longer getting nuclear fuel for Koeberg because of apartheid. -Travel ban for the comrades because of white monopoly capital.

    When was the last time you received a speeding fine?

    Had a sneaky speed limit change in my area from 80 to 60 that I didn't notice. Over a 2 week period I got a string of fines until I could figure out the where at what of it. Before that, years ago.

    AI is going to destroy my current career and I'm feeling pretty rubbish about it

    The industries aren't going to cease to exist and I never claimed they will. They just won't need many workers anymore. Where you've had a team of 20, it's going to become a team of 2 using AI, at lower compensation, because the other 18 are now also competing against you.

    New Aparthotel in South Africa’s billionaire hotspot

    Ha ha. same here. Are there separate lifts and pools for blacks and whites?

    How much money you must earn to be middle class in South Africa

    Just because the bulk of the country is dirt poor doesn't mean you get to adjust the bracket you consider middle class to match the middle of the population. Middle class is someone with a decent rented or owned dwelling, a car, a cellphone, possibly kids in a school, insurance, medical aid...

    AI is going to destroy my current career and I'm feeling pretty rubbish about it

    You are seriously underestimating the pace of improvement in AI. Very far off = maybe 7 years .

    AI is going to destroy my current career and I'm feeling pretty rubbish about it

    Yes, those few will remain, but AI will replace the bulk of them. For every lawyer fighting a case in court, there is a 20 doing contracts, conveyancing, discovery, research etc. You don't need teams of lawyers trawling through thousands of documents to do discovery for a big case, you...

    AI is going to destroy my current career and I'm feeling pretty rubbish about it

    The only one is maybe HR. But who are they planning to manage. Themselves?

    AI is going to destroy my current career and I'm feeling pretty rubbish about it

    The guys pooh poohing AI obviously haven't seen the newer versions in action. Your super complicated mega creative job that you think can't possibly be done by AI, is already being done by it, and the growth in capability is exponential.

    Which white-collar jobs do you think will survive?

    AI is going to destroy my current career and I'm feeling pretty rubbish about it

    It's slightly bigger than that. It's the sudden removal of the bulk of the middle class from the economy. It will be more disruptive that you think.

    AI is going to destroy my current career and I'm feeling pretty rubbish about it

    What white collar/creative jobs will still exist in 10 years? Not many I can think of. Dentist, Specialized surgeon, not sure what else. Accountants, Lawyers, Auditors, Engineers, Doctors, Clerical stuff, Copy writers, Graphic Designers, Architects, Software developers will all be mostly...

    Eskom to lose R92 billion from discounted contract

    Long winded way of donating taxpayer money to Australia. We should just shut it down and give them R50b outright, and leave out all the middle man cadres that want to eat.
