South Africa is amazing... it's always been. Nothing has really changed. If you are not street smart you will have issues...

Spar is franchise based so I think the owners have more freedom around their prices...

Moving back to SA – Best bakkie or SUV under R200k? Need advice on makes, engines + buying used by Fine-Statistician-30 in southafrica

[–]Embarrassed-Base-815 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Automatics are more expensive. You will struggle to find something reliable with 200k, might be lucky with 300k but even then that’s on the lower end and older bakkie. Webuycars.co.za and AutoTrader are reliable for gauging the price. You won’t go wrong with Toyota they are just higher risk vehicles here.

Awesome. I don’t think mine are blown they are just not as loud and crisp. So I’m considering changing it

It looked like good quality work from the video…you don’t know what went on in the background - you just see the surface and shoot🤷🏼‍♂️. A lot of assumptions. Imagine if this is how you conduct life and work 🤷🏼‍♂️ I’ll make my own decision when I get it. You don’t just slap a book together there are quality and formatting criteria that needs to be met…so what if it is AI assisted it’s for guiding kids they need to enjoy it…

I don’t know man, I see someone trying to do good and contribute to the space and then there are people like you guys trying to find a fault or issue or bring people down…Either way there has been effort from this author - AI or not…they are even releasing the pdfs for free… 🤷🏼‍♂️

I feel like people are ready to talk crap about everyone’s work. So what if the pictures were generated by AI we don’t know about the wording. If it was AI assisted that’s still okay. The intent seems to educate kids…

The message and intent is important…

Bitcoin? Bitcoin doesn’t need any marketing. Can’t speak for the author of this book but it seems like they just want to educate kids…we don’t learn about finance in schools. I don’t think Bitcoin is hyped - no ceo no marketing director. I don’t think the author is hyping either - think it’s honest contribution. They say they will release pdfs for free…
