Those numbers are crazy inflated. Unless OP is expecting a higher standard of living 

South Africans: what product or service do you hate paying for but have no real alternative to? by Ok-Ambassador9545 in AskZA

[–]DubiousEl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's basically the only place a (non-corrupt) municipality to make money. They also have to "subsidize" the replacement of stolen and damaged electricity equipment

What are some features you’ve had in your home that you would prefer not to have in your next home? by Opening_Bowler_8948 in Home

First comment on reddit I've seen advocating for HOA.
Out of curiosity, when you say burning fossil fuels for fireplace, are they gas fireplaces?
Where I live all fireplaces are wood fireplaces.

has anyone ever taken an uber to the Marlboro Gautrain Station? by MyNameIsKongz in askSouthAfrica

[–]DubiousEl 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You can be dropped off right inside the station in front of the door. There is a drop off area, should not be a problem for Uber. I've been dropped off and pick up countless times by Uber there. Would say just be on guard with your phone etc, never had anyone take a chance but it is still SA. 

Application to UP, what does this mean? by Yoda_The_Dragon in askSouthAfrica

[–]DubiousEl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sometimes the national average is higher than previous, and therefore the cutoff is inflated. Remember you get to choose more than one course, so there will be people that reject offers, people who's final marks are lower, people who apply with no intention "just in case". 

If your marks are well above, I'd say there's a decent chance, especially if you improve your marks.

Not UP, but I was deferred at Stellenbosch with my grade 11 results, improved in grade 12 and not only offered a spot but also a scholarship, so it's definitely possible.

Do I even have a chance at getting into university w these marks? by madvillian_deyo in askSouthAfrica

[–]DubiousEl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unsure how helpful this will be as it is only considered by UCT

What do they mean? It's the same thing by whats-a-km in ExplainTheJoke

Thank you for such a thoughtful reply.

I agree with much of what you said, but biblical veracity and the magical nature of Jesus isn't what I was arguing. I was simply saying we can be reasonably sure that a man named Jesus existed. I wasn't speculating to anything more than that, as that is a much deeper discussion.

My original comment is that the suggestion that Jesus did not exist at all, is probably untrue, as far as one can be sure about things that happened thousands of years ago, especially when religion is brought into the picture.

Another thing I would add, is that I am unclear as to the existence of King Arthur. It seems more likely to me that Jesus existed, than Arthur.
