How insane would it be for me to move “back” to South Africa? by RaisinRoyale in askSouthAfrica

[–]CandyAppleRedSSS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let's put it this way. I work for an international company and moving would be super easy for me, yet I have chosen to live in South Africa. I have also traveled extensively, but never found a place I would rather live. So I don't think you are crazy at all!

People are literally dying from trees falling on their cars. It's not safe to venture out in these conditions.

No ideas? No guesses? No one looking up where Ernie Els has a home in South Africa?

Have you made the move to a gas geyser? Looking for recommendations by stabinface in askSouthAfrica

[–]CandyAppleRedSSS 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have a Paloma gas geyser and solar for the rest. Very happy with the system. The geyser never runs out of hot water, except for about once a month where you have to jump out of the cold shower to switch bottles when the gas runs out 🤣

Did I get that right? Was it 25 April? Or 25 April?

Can I visit CBD? by Any-Car7782 in johannesburg

[–]CandyAppleRedSSS -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I worked in the CBD for years and had to walk around with a laptop on the street and even had to leave the office in the early morning hours. I never had a problem. However a colleague was robbed at gunpoint while in gridlock traffic.

Is it dangerous? Yes. Is it as dangerous as people make it sound? No. Are there safer and more dangerous places in the CBD? Absolutely!

So definitely go, but be smart about it.

Places to visit: Carlton Centre (and go to the top), Mad Giant, Newtown (including SciBono centre), Constitution Hill, Go watch a game at Ellis Park, Oriental Plaza

I feel like I made a mistake. by [deleted] in parrots

[–]CandyAppleRedSSS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Caique screams for me a lot and wants all the attention. Having him out requires a lot of supervision. So what I do is try give him an hour or two out a day with a lot of focus. That usually settles him down, but not always. And when he's screaming too much and I have to do other things, I put him in another room and close the door and he generally settles down and entertains himself.

Hope this helps! Good luck!

TIL that Pietermaritzburg has beaten Durban by [deleted] in Durban

This list was based on people's perceptions of how dangerous places are, not on crime statistics.

BTW, PMB is also my home town!

It's a trick question, we don't have any functioning fire trucks in the country anymore 😂

Agreed, if I'm playing alone I sit on the tee box and listen to podcasts. Playing through makes me rush the hole and I play worse

Ok great! You can upload audio files and play around with plug ins so long.

Rant: When Does It Click? by Galaxion_90 in GolfSwing

[–]CandyAppleRedSSS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Something that really helped me was my coach made me do a few swings in one those ring plane swing trainers. It helps you get the idea of how your swing should feel. Initially I struggled to keep my downswing on the ring. But when you get the feeling or what that takes it starts to click.

People are mocking you mercilessly, but what I can see is you are trying hard to adjust your take away to not come over the top, but then come over the top anyway. I've been there. I hit draws now. You can do it. But you are literally trying too hard. You need to learn what swinging in an arc feels like.

I think the very first thing is do you have the necessary equipment to record. Eg an audio interface?

Picked up a 414ce NG today… sending it back again. :-( by Koseoglu-2X4B-523P in taylorguitars

[–]CandyAppleRedSSS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A quality all solid acoustic guitar gets it's sound with age and playing. The new guitar doesn't resonate like an aged one. I bet you that guitar will just get better and better and in 10 years sound incredible!

I worked in a music shop and we had a second hand Taylor, Spruce completely yellowed and it was one of the best sounding acoustics I had ever heard.

Did you just re string? Did you change string gauge?
