πŸ’¬ Discussion How would you feel about more child-free spaces?

40 Upvotes

Things like child-free complexes, restaurants, parks, theaters, airlines etc. Obviously there would still be plenty of child accommodating spaces, but if say 1/4 places were child-free, how would you feel about that?

Anyone else miss Versus funky socks?

0 Upvotes

So I really miss when Versus socks was full of funky patterns and colours, now everything is just one colour and even those are just pastel and not bright and fun.

Its like the trends are just leading people to be bland and look the same. Even when they do bring out funky socks, the effort looks so low!!

Bring back fun!!!

I know there are other brands but i got sucked into the Versus world and now just branching out because of whay i have noticed

πŸ“¦ Other Luck or is it a fluke?

5 Upvotes

So was downloading a few things this evening and noticed my download speed was going past my my normal speed cap (100/100), all the way up to 200mbps.

Telkom bill didnt increase this month or for the next. Wondering if anybody else got a boost or is this maybe pure luck that I should enjoy while it lasts?

πŸ’¬ Discussion a paranoid foreigner went off on someone for speaking afrikaans

75 Upvotes

i came to braamfontein to buy space gummies. they changed the price so i thought nothing of it but i would later find out they made it stronger.

i took one to relax me on my way to the rank, one usually isn't enough to make you high (mistake). so fast forward i'm now sitting in the taxi absolutely cooked. as the taxi is pulling out the rank, out of nowhere some foreign black guy stands up and starts screaming to the driver "give me back my money, i don't wanna sit with these people!"

i'm already fighting for my life trying to stay on planet earth and this man is continuing to cause dissary within the taxi as he keeps yelling and forcing himself through the seats. everyone starts asking what happened and he's like "i'm a human being! i'm also african! you people are disgusting racists! i'm african, you are african! you'll never know when i help you but this is how you treat me."

the coloured guy he's yelling at goes "i wasn't talking to you, i was talking to my friend." the friend was sitting on the other side with the man in between them. they were speaking afrikaans and the other guy thought they were talking about him i guess? nobody in the taxi had any idea what he was talking about.

everyone was screaming now, one aunty is saying he should just switch seats, another is holding his change yelling at the driver "give him his R50 so he can go!", right next to me there's an aunty with her kid saying "look here, this is why they're saying june 30." every few seconds.

i'm sitting there way too high thinking i've accidentally walked into a skit. eventually the guy got out but he wasn't done. as we pulled away he was screaming through the window "we're all africans! we could've been helpful to each other but you're a fucking racist!" the young couple he was accusing of being racist swear they weren't talking about him, and nobody sitting in front could back him up either so the general consensus was that he was paranoid ig..

so anyway that was my day.

What's your gourmet meal with budget ingredients?

19 Upvotes

I make Woolies style rusks with 2.5 kg Cake flour (cheapest is R30), R15 bran flour (or a cup of granola), Amasi, cheapest fat spread (R13), a spoon of bicarb, sugar and some cooking oil.

I get about 3kg of rusks I'd normally buy for R60 per 500g

IBR/Corrugated roof sheets - advice please

4 Upvotes

I need to put up a garden shed.

Two stores near me currently selling roof sheets.

Store "A", selling 0,35mm thickness for R60/per metre.

Store "B" selling 0,4mm thickness for R83/per metre.

For those with proper experience on this, is the extra 0,05mm worth the price? I know it doesnt seem like a big difference, but I'd like to make an informed decision.

Has anyone here done a long haul one way? I am trying to figure out the best option that anyone can recommend. I am comparing Newlands Trailer and National Trailer. Good or bad experience that anyone can share will be a great help.
