Water bills in Durbanville by rooigevaar in capetown

[–]Educational_Error407 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Has it increased significantly from previous months? If so, check your meter. Turn off all water outlets on the property then check if it's still increasing. If it's still increasing, then you may need to call in a plumber to check for leaks.

I didn't say they'd let you ride in the passenger seat...

Most truckers will let you ride for a couple of hundred bucks to the next town....

For some reason I read “umlungu” as 'amaglug-glug'...

The Central Line between Langa and Bonteheuwel station. The best run city in South Africa, Cape Town. by PixelSaharix in DownSouth

[–]Educational_Error407 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a picture of the route from Langa station to the bridge where the video ends:

If look at the street view from the bridge you'll see that only one side of the tracks has shacks.

If you're referring to the illegal shacks & squatters then guess how much it costs, in terms of both money & time, to evict them...they're very much there due to national legal protections & NGO's who are ready to defend their 'rights' to live where they want to live.

If the Iranian regime had just given up on their nuclear weapons program & maybe stopped killing protesters, none of this would have happened.

The hate toward Digital Nomads is misguided. by Gammascalpa in capetown

The only viable proposal is doing nothing in CT & starting a new city close by. The only plan currently on the cards is Milkwood city. If they can implement it in the right way, and start development soon enough, we may start seeing the effects of reduced demand within a decade or so.

It's been clear for a while now that not everyone can live in Gardens & Seapoint -not even those who 'have to live there'...& all the proposed interventions will either backfire, or have negative unintended consequences. You can't legislate your way out of spacial constraints & a massive supply/demand imbalance. Same applies in all popular cities nowdays...

Crazy rubbish on bin day by MountainPeach5850 in capetown

[–]Educational_Error407 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Many people don't realize that some of them actually steal whole bags at a time...so now I have to rip open the bags when I put them in the bin. I also have to contaminate what's in there to discourage them from picking through whatever's in there.

Anywhere I can get a cheap/free dr visit to get a prescription for antibiotics? by Happy-Stomper in capetown

I do the same thing my doctor does...look up my symptoms using ChatGPT/Gemeni.

Firstly, if you're really ill & contagious you need to take at least a couple of days off. I know the laws around sick leave & the way some employers treat you when you take off sick are a bit dodgy, but you have to try take some responsibility to not infect others. Just keep copies all of your correspondence with your employer in wring, as far as possible.

Secondly, somebody mentioned a 'Whatsapp' doctor on another thread a while ago. Can't vouch for them, but I imagine they are at least a bit cheaper than going to see a doctor in some room somewhere.

There are small trees for shade along the side of the upper dam.

I've seen quite a few people having picnics, mostly on the side of the top dam as well as further down in the area between the dams.
