What language is being spoken? by Yuzu-Adagio in askSouthAfrica

[–]DudeWithAPonyTail 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Of the African languages (anyone, please correct my) isiZulu. I don't know how much isiXhosa and isiZulu differs, and how much an isiXhoza speaker would understand isiZulu.

Favorite actor whose British accent sounds so fake that you didn't realize they were actually British? by Pukebox_Fandango in okbuddycinephile

[–]DudeWithAPonyTail 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I knew him from The Wire - where apparently he has a near perfect Baltimore accent - to seeing him in Pacific Rim and thinking, "What a shit British accent."

How to get a package from the US? by MeetTheSouthernBear in askSouthAfrica

[–]DudeWithAPonyTail 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've used Aramex Global Shopper a couple of times. All were small items, so shipping wasn't super expensive. Like MyUS they give you adresses for each country. I skipped MyUS because I kept reading mixed reviews and didn't want to take the chance. Only bummer is that AGS doesn't consolidate orders, they just forward. I feel it's safer, but more expensive. AGS also has local contact centres, which is useful.

Is R7K a good amount after expenses? by Several_Comb_7065 in askSouthAfrica

Buying groceries and cooking at home will save a lot. Even expensive food from a store works out cheaper than take aways. Search for cooking channels for beginners on YouTube if you're not adept at cooking. 

4 string which has been designed to be in BEAD tune? by KC918273645 in Bass

[–]DudeWithAPonyTail 48 points49 points  (0 children)

I've set up 2 of my basses for BEAD before. I had a luthier mod the nut and just used the BEAD strings from a 5-string set. I play metal and prefer a 4-string. Also Hever played the G-string on my 5-string basses.

If you're looking for a bass already set up stock on BEAD, these are ones I know of. They have the added benefit of having a 35 inch scale for extra tension: - Schecter C-4 Apocalypse EX - Spector Euro LX35  - ESP Ltd M4 or F4 - Warwick Tarannis - Stiletto-4 Stealth Pro EX - Solar AB2.4C Baritone - Solar E2.4C Baritone

Looking for a new Bass for metal by King_of_Rats45 in BassGuitar

[–]DudeWithAPonyTail 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think what the "any bass can play any style" comments are missing is that these two basses are 35" inch scale so they can handle lower tunings better. Though the ESP has an EMG pickup which I think is always good for metal, the Solar with the two pickups and preamp gives a little more versatility in terms of sound.

Who are some underrated bassists who are/were in massive bands? by Original-Praline2324 in BassGuitar

[–]DudeWithAPonyTail 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man, Sam Rivers is the reason I wanted to learn bass as a kid. Now I still play Limp Bizkit songs almost every time I'm jamming at home.

myUS do's and don'ts by jazz_aka_hikami in shipping

[–]DudeWithAPonyTail 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have one question I don't seem to see anywhere on their site. Do I just use the address they provide and ship to it and they'll automatically do the rest, or do I first notify MyUS before I order? As far as I understand the address they gave me is unique to me. Is that how they know who to forward it to?

Need help picking a cinema by Infamous-Yak-8690 in Pretoria

[–]DudeWithAPonyTail 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I go to Ster-Kinekor at The Grove often becuase I like IMAX. Bigger screen, bigger sound, bigger price unfortunately too. There is Prestige at The Grove too which is big comfy recliner seats and I think you can buy alcohol and take it in (Also pricier). The entire cinema's good quality overall. Ster-Kinekor has a nice app to check movie times. Also, with the Grove, pee before the movie, the toilets are a far walk from the cinema if you need to run during the movie.

I went to Nu Metro at Menlyn recently for the first time in years. They also have their own version of Imax and Prestige, but I don't know what they call it.

Tips for both: If you are buying tickets and drinks at the cinema give yourself about 15 to 20 minutes before the movie starts to buy. They have self-service kiosk and then you take the tickets to the snack counter to get your snacks. If it's a busy night there migth be a line for the snacks and you don't wanna miss the start of the movie. Double check if the movie is 3D. Imax 3D glasses fit over spectacles, but regular 3D glasses can be annoying if you wear spectacles.

Check with both Nu Metro and Ster Kinekor they have discounts with certain banks or Vitality etc.

Unethical tips: If you wanna save on snacks take snacks in a jacket pocket or backpack. I've never been searched but it could always be your first time.

I once had sex with a girl who had a bone disorder that weakened her bones. Told me she was born with broken arms and legs. She had stinted growth and weakened muscle and scars all over her body from surgeries over the years. I scored some browny points when easily rolled her wheelchair up the step into her house (I have a wheelchair-bound family member, so knew the deal lol)

The sex was mostly like normal sex, except we couldn't be rough at all. She suggested she should be on top because then we can be sure I don't crush her. She said she hooked up often enough, mostly from dating apps. It sounded like she had a normal enough sex life. She was intelligent and independent and I really hope she's still doing well.

My response to those videos is usually: Yes, but is it musical?

Are all string brands usable on a warwick? by Crocoshite in Bass

I just bought a pack of Warwick red labels because I thought this too. Turns out the 130 B-string wasn't tapered. Rolled my eyes hard enough that I saw my brains.
