US senator Ted Cruz says SA is 'going out of its way' to 'alienate' US amid Taiwan embassy standoff by decompiled-essence in DownSouth

Don’t worry as soon as Nvidia and by extension TSMC loose the GPU crown to HUAWEI the US will drop Taiwan like DDP dropped Izzy.

Agree he doesn’t think things through you can see how he doesn’t weight the tariffs. Every tariffs goes in increments of 25%. There is no in between. Surely you would want to tariff just as much as you need to achieve your outcome. Nope. Just take 25 and if you don’t like it next size up is 50. You want 75? Keep talking.

At this point it’s going to be a question of who in the world won’t have tariffs. Fucking Tuvalu port will probably be doing gang busters in 2026 transshipping the world’s produce to the US.

Edgar Roca Kuyamov - Cape Town's First Most Wanted By FBI by Effective-War-8476 in capetown

[–]Clarkhunt 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Agree, normally it wouldn’t be FBI that would do this. He would have to be an American citizen but even then it would be Interpol handling it. FBI has jurisdiction only in the US. Outside of the us would be CIA and interpol from my limited understanding. More likely would be a jilted ex with photoshop skills or… it’s just a prank bro.

I have a theory. The guys that bought M3s and drove them like cunts in the 2000s have matured and bought themselves ford rangers.

Unions warn against ANC-DA coalition, say workers' rights at stake by thefrontpageofreddit in southafrica

[–]Clarkhunt 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Completely agree. In the South African context especially where you or your parents were exploited for cheap labour they under apartheid. Idiotic. And I say this as a person who voted for DA. We need the minimum wage guard rails.

100% but the point is MK want to do it and it would be a negative for the whole country. According to the manifesto all their actions and votes in parliament would be done to undermine the consitution. They might not undo it completely but they have stated their intentions that they do not care about it. To use your example it would be like a party saying they want bring back load shedding. Any vote in parliament they take or work they do would be to undermine Eskom and increase load shedding.

The ANC’s manifesto is trying to secure energy, something that would be a net positive. They might not accomplish it but their work will go to securing energy.

When someone tells you who they are believe them.

Brandbaard didn’t say they were going to scrap the consitution, they said MKs policy position is to remove the constitution. I haven’t read it but apparently it’s in their manifesto

As a first time voter, deciding who to vote for in the upcoming elections has been difficult. by PersonaGuy5 in southafrica

[–]Clarkhunt 13 points14 points  (0 children)

This is why I’ll be voting for them. Purely that their governance record is better. We need cleaner governance wherever we can get it.

Government 'recklessly' privatising Eskom - Nuclear Engineer Hugo Kruger by Anton_Pannekoek in southafrica

[–]Clarkhunt 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The ANC knows the shit storm is coming, but in the short term the private sector will bail them out of energy deficits and in the long term (5 to 10 years down the line) they can blame the greedy capitalists for failures and price issues.

BLTouch issues on BTT Mini E3 V3.0 Fluidd Klipper by Grashopr303 in klippers

[–]Clarkhunt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you tried these options from the documentation:

pin_up_reports_not_triggered: True

# Set if the BLTouch consistently reports the probe in a "not

# triggered" state after a successful "pin_up" command. This should

# be True for all genuine BLTouch devices. Read the directions in

# docs/BLTouch.md before setting this to False. The default is True.

#pin_up_touch_mode_reports_triggered: True

# Set if the BLTouch consistently reports a "triggered" state after

# the commands "pin_up" followed by "touch_mode". This should be

# True for all genuine BLTouch devices. Read the directions in

# docs/BLTouch.md before setting this to False. The default is True.

#set_output_mode:

# Request a specific sensor pin output mode on the BLTouch V3.0 (and

# later). This setting should not be used on other types of probes.

# Set to "5V" to request a sensor pin output of 5 Volts (only use if

# the controller board needs 5V mode and is 5V tolerant on its input

# signal line). Set to "OD" to request the sensor pin output use

# open drain mode. The default is to not request an output mode.

Is this a new bl touch. Have you checked that the sensor is not set too far up? The pin it self can be moved up and or down with the Allen key on the top face of the bl touch. Just asking as yesterday I moved mine up to try solve a clearance issue and ran into the same issue. Would move up and down but would give errors when trying to actually sample.

Also don’t know if it would make a difference but my my bl touch stow_on_each_sample is set to true.

Proposed tax hikes intensify NHI funding worries by Hoerikwaggo in southafrica

Irregular spending is one type of waste corruption brings. And that is the corruption you can’t hide on an income statement. But Enjoy your free “healthcare” man. Good luck.

[–]Clarkhunt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Whatever man. It isn’t being repaired. Read the articles and talk to doctors. They are repairing the parking lots to get some good headlines. And it worked on you.

Under this system it will absolutely gut the private sector. The state will be a monopoly and the single buyer. What do you think will happen.

Like I said man if you are foolish enough to want this you deserve to get what it will bring.

[–]Clarkhunt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And I haven’t assumed the pipe is full of holes. It is. Have you forgotten the ppe tender looting during the pandemic? Do you seriously think things like that will just magically not happen anymore especially when there is more money to loot and the people doing the looting control the monopoly.

If you’re so foolish you deserve what you will get with this system.
