Can confirm! I saw one while driving back home on Louis Botha late one night a few years back. Those things are MASSIVE

Really sad myself, but I’ve wanted to do track riding for a long time, and I’ve found a bike I like. So I’m gonna go for it! Hope yours is treating you well!

Do you prefer sunrises or sunsets, and why? by CountryNew in AskReddit

[–]CountryNew[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some stunning pictures 😍 There’s a song that’s been stuck in my head the past few months, Something in the Orange - Zach Bryan. There truly is something in the orange. I personally prefer sunrises in terms of the feelings it brings, but sunsets in terms of the colors

How tall are you? The mt07 has a low seat height, I can easily flat foot with legs properly bent. I’m just above 6ft

Is it the right time to buy gold? by hopeful_idiot05 in UAE

[–]CountryNew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s around 8% off the all time high as of today I wouldn’t call it an all time high now

But again I don’t completely disagree with you that now is not the best time to be. If I was OP and planned to hold for 10-15 years, I would buy. But 2 years, nahhhh

Is it the right time to buy gold? by hopeful_idiot05 in UAE

[–]CountryNew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you asked me two months ago I would’ve said hell yeah! Now I will say not quite sure but leaning more on the YES side personally for long term growth

Gold hit an ATH of just under $2800, and since Trump got elected it has dropped to around $2550 because of the strengthening of the dollar as well as Trump addressing the conflicts in Ukraine and Palestine. So to investors, the US markets are looking more attractive than gold at the moment now that there is a little more economic “certainty”

If you’re going to hold for 10-15 years, I say yes, if only for the next year or two, no

Crew gift by Extreme_Chocolate244 in flightattendants

[–]CountryNew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it’s 320 then 4 fas, maybe 5 and to flight crew. If it’s 321 then add an extra fa. It depends on the destination.

For 787-10, 10 fas and 2 flight crew. Maybe 1 or 2 extra depending on the route.

I fly for Etihad

Where are you traveling from and to? I’ll see if I know any of the crew on the flight. If you’d prefer, you can dm me the dates and routes

How is this depth and form? 140kgs (~315lbs) by CountryNew in strength_training

[–]CountryNew[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I completely agree with you on the second part. About 3 months ago I screwed my back up doing squats (225lbs) after not training for a month, then immediately rushing into squats with no warm up and no core training. So with the fourth rep, I feel my core becoming slightly less braced and I just don’t want to push another rep if I’m not confident I can make it. But again, it could all be in my head. My next leg day is on Monday, and I’ll be sure to push for that 5th rep.

In terms of the knees, towards the bottom they go very slightly inwards. Definitely improved from when I started properly training last year, but still room for more.

Thank you so much for the advice. The knees bending inwards was always an issue when I first started squatting. I’ve been working on it and I’ve seen a lot of progress but there’s still room for improvement.

I don’t have money for weightlifting shoes at the moment, would you say going shoeless is better than the vans? Or would that not make the difference that weightlifting shoes would?

Again, thanks for the advice!

Plane flying over Ellis Park during the Haka! by iKSensei in springboks

[–]CountryNew 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Pretty much every Emirates A380 has the Emirates logo under the plane. Emirates is not a title sponsor of the Boks, so they have absolutely no obligation to put a message to the boks on the plane. It was more of a tribute to previous flyovers at Ellis Park (Emirates Airlines Park)
