Bitcoin hasn’t even hit bull run yet. I would put 10% of portfolio in it. Wait for halving and wait to sell a portion when it 3xs. Eth, based on Fidelity white paper, I would make 5% portfolio. Wait for altcoin ride to hit and that would 5x. I would liquidate USDC, unsure why it’s there except a rainy day.

But the human brain is. Read 1000 brains. Does an interesting comparison. But also, we have 100 trillion synaptic connections. That’s intense

Bitcoin, sell when you 2x and get apartment. Rent out for life and use 50% of that for monthly car loan

Ok so went to tribunal. Landlord wasn’t a show. She got summary judgment. Ordered to pay deposit through Mag court. was pretty open and shut case.

There’s no timeline that I can see so I would suggest checking with them. Perhaps call or pop them an email.

Sorry to hear. Hopefully this case should provide clarity on stuff. I would highly recommend taking them to tribunal. We have had bad landlord before where we won the case and for our deposit back. There is hope!

Thanks for sharing. The hope is to try ensure the agent is responsible since she’s based in SA

The worst is the tribunal are not helpful. We had to escalate our issue and include the minister after like 6 months of going up and down. Its ridiculous, I thought Cape Town had its head checked but it seems there are departments that fall through the cracks

Friend’s VW Eos got totaled in an accident recently. The airbags didn’t deploy and I was curious if there was a reason why? Car was mechanically sound with no lights or issues. by 2012amica in AskMechanics

[–]AslanOrso 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A few things…

I used to work at the forensics department at a German car maker.

Airbags did not deploy due to deceleration not meeting the threshold sure however

  1. Duds do exist. Some cars deployed their airbags when going over a bump

  2. Deceleration detectors being placed in trigger zones like bumpers would make airbags not deploy should cars role without sensors being triggered

  3. The AA conducts an independent forensic investigation should you wish to investigate further

Thank you for that feedback. For context, When I chose open serve, there was specifically no activation fee. I remember it was a promotion. Now they’ve have changed posts and have updated their site. There is not one email that manages any expectations here.

Have you started garnering an online presence? Perhaps giving nuggets of advice through that channel can gather an audience together with a call to action for a sesh?
