Soaring temps here make me want to do absolutely....nothing. no power no AC going to take your advice on the beer though.. might as well drink the woes away

 

[SlowInternet]

[TheChamp]

There's a court case about the tarrifs today.

This stuff is too obvious.

Andre is a figure head.

Yes, Dudu was in court yesterday, and the cabinet is having a lekgotla.
Everything is obvious and everything is connected to everything is some way in the mind of a conspiracy theorist.

 

[ch@rge]

Yea I prefer it during the day when I'm at the office with a generator.

At night is when I do internet stuff.

You're lucky.

My work is based in schools - a generator is a luxuary for most of them.

Phoned Eskom....they said it's a technical fault in our area apparently. No estimate on repair time. Which means we might have no power till load shedding scheduled time and then the 2 and a half hours after. Blew through a few beers...it helped....on to the whiskey now. Sad state of affairs in this country.

no we aren't
all of us on MyBB are aware of the BS
none of us here are buying it

 

[MirageF1]

That all depends on usage, good maintenance and frequency of LS.
Theoretically...I would imagine 2 years at the current frequency of power cuts in this country.

YMMV though

#CITY POWER NOT LOADSHEDDING

Eskom has declared the implementation of Loadshedding Stage 2 from tonight between 9pm and tomorrow Friday 6am.
However City Power would like to urge its customers within the City of Johannesburg not to panic as we won't be loadshedding.
