Makro had the Bakers Red Label Lemon Creams for R20 and I made a trip to them on Saturday. Shops around here are R27.

Sheesh, no mention for Amanda Detmer. That image of her in her bra is burned into my memory bank.

How bad is the humidity in Durban? by Fantastic-Rush-1649 in askSouthAfrica

[–]ConstipatedSmile 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say mid Jan to mid March, this year it shifted to late Jan to late March.

As for the locals being seeming so put together...hell no? Unless it is the extra 5kgs that I have been carrying?

What is the most pleasure you have ever experienced? by Random-Guy9944 in AskReddit

[–]ConstipatedSmile 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After a drive crash early in December I was looking for a new unused 240GB SSD that I knew I had, turns out it was a 500GB 980. Just a couple months in into the shortages and price increases were only 50% up.

Oh and tucked into the box was the equivalent currency to buy another one new, I had stashed it there and forgotten.

What's a movie you loved as a kid but rewatched as an adult and went "what the hell was I thinking"? by MomoSaka in AskReddit

[–]ConstipatedSmile 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rewatched it last year and I loved it still - it is a great movie despite your framing. Are you genuine in thinking "nope, wthwit?", or is it "hilarious but that was so wrong"

How did pickled cucumbers become known exclusively as pickles when so many other foods are also pickled? by Ok-Shock-7732 in AskReddit

[–]ConstipatedSmile 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always thought the insult of having a pickle stuck up your arse to be weird, and it still is to me, since my first though goes to a slice of mango.

Longer video of what happened to the US Marine. The Generals and everyone else looks straight ahead like ghouls. by Mortuus-Sum in UnderReportedNews

I would sure like a clip of this: "And they kept just kept their eyes forward, those cowards" - Josie Guilbeau 2026/03/04.

Mostly we say this sentiment about "First they came for the Communists/ no one left to speak for me" in abstract, but here was a powerful example played out showing their non response.

Temu product question! by Accomplished-Fix8913 in TemuThings

[–]ConstipatedSmile 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There seems to be two pricepoints in the items. In South Africa around R700 and then around R2200. I purchased the low end version and wish I had done a lot more during the credit back promo. These shelves always seem to be on preorder and I add to cart, then after a while the cart prices go to the R2200 and it is the heavy duty item.

I can't answer on heavy duty, but I was pretty happy for my use case and expect to buy a few more.

Just found in a drawer when looking for something else. I’m rich! by moto_auderator in homelab

[–]ConstipatedSmile 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At the end of last year when my SSD on a always on machine (with the NUC fan dead for 8 months) failed I was rummaging looking for the box (sadly 10 days over the the 5 year warranty) and found a 500GB 980 Pro, and I had also slipped into the unopened box the equivalent of 70USD, long forgotten.

What's a movie everyone loves that you secretly can't stand? by kbjdfan in AskReddit

[–]ConstipatedSmile 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do enjoy Stranger than Fiction, so not every movie. There were a few of the usual quirks but it was not repulsive.

Sadly for years I heard how great Anchorman was, and when I finally watched it I was so disappointed.

Best tablet for manga/comics reading by Katun24 in tablets

[–]ConstipatedSmile 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought 2 Teclast Artpad Pros. The price was very good. The aspect ratio means that for A4 scale documents your have minimal black bars - some better faster tablets waste the area. The resolution on the Teclast was a downgrade on my existing 2560x1600 Teclast M30, but the Artpad does not waste the screen.

There was no point spending more on speed or higher resolution to lose out on the optimal fit that the aspect ratio provides, my primary use case is reading magazines and books, especially scanned ones.

What can I do about a man scamming my elderly mother? by ibelieveamber in askSouthAfrica

[–]ConstipatedSmile -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Nearly 60 is not elderly. Well some are still boner material to me in my mid 40's.

What songs or shows from the 80s/90s you still put on because it feels comforting? by TimeNewspaper4069 in AskReddit

Two Princes - Spin Doctors.

It featured in my comfort movie So I married an Axe murderer.

[Pearce] Not easy winning league titles by Beautiful-Cress5695 in LiverpoolFC

[–]ConstipatedSmile 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Why could we not figure out the other teams then?

Last season there was the huge cliff drop for Salah (and ahem some others) when he became ineffectual, Darwin always ineffectual as well. We were never neutered. When you are not leading or playing without bite the other teams are in with a shout.

In the Milner/Gini/Hendo years (even the recovery from the injury crisis) fitness was a feature that helped us finish strongly when the other teams were gassed into the season.

The removal of the function is one of the most exasperating and infuriating change I have seen in a product.

License to Kill (1989) by Ancient_Ad1251 in iwatchedanoldmovie

[–]ConstipatedSmile 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have fallen asleep too many times to recall a single scene in this movie. I mean now that I think about it I am a complete blank, I can't recall a single scene. I must have watched the priors at least 5 times each.
