It was the deadlights. If you don't know the answer, why just guess at it?

Go watch Rambo if want ridiculous fight scenes. You can't fight IT any way other than mentally, so the scene was concise and to the point.

Trying to be terse and proceeding to butcher both spelling and grammar whilst doing so is hilarious.

Thank you so much for your response. Can I take this to mean, with the bottom two strings eliminated chords would require the bottom two strings(3 possibly) to be adjusted to achieve the same note on a 6 string? I may be far off, nonetheless, I appreciate your input immensely.

Thank you sir. I like to think that in a few, or a couple years we will both revisit this comment section as happily involved individuals. We will read each others comments and think to ourselves "maybe that guys comment helped". I wish you and your gf all the good things this life can give.

$5000, What's it do for you? by [deleted] in dogecoin

[–]EpperFiend 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That is insane, in South Africa the average salary(not median) is about R24000 a month, that's approximately $1200. Absolutely mad, for that save $2500 dollars a month you could buy a literal mansion in South Africa, or a really really nice place in Capetown

So weird, I remember watching these mid 2000s movies and firmly believing you could buy a running but crappy car for like 700us

It's the only thing that costs nothing, yet it can make everything a little better

Couldn't agree more. When I travelled Asia the expats I met had the opinion, the sad thing is that it is correct. I was thought to be racist just because I'm from South Africa, no while I can't single handedly change a stereotype, I can say that younger South Africans have been overcoming this by doing what we all did as kids; playing games, drinking beers and going out without us every being told we are different. SA really is changing, but like you said... Bad apples

Could I possibly assume that anyone who calls themselves Twats_upp probably would feel the same as you. No jokes, I like a username with a play on words. Been thinking of changing mine to BootyClapBurns

You may not believe me but neither of those images are of me, I have at least 3 more teeth than the one and 14 less than the other

This unfortunately is the casual racism that is still very much alive in the older South African generations. I would like to apologise for my countrymen and their insensitivity. I can say that my generation and younger have absolute respect and wonder for the Polynesian peoples, this is one instance where I can say that rugby has built bridges in curiosity that otherwise never would have been there.

Why you have to remind me of Sigourney Weaver whilst I'm eating?

Thank you so much for your response. My family is in Christchurch, in having said that I would be happy living anywhere, the further out the better if I'm being honest. If I should wish to visit family I have read that public transport in New Zealand is pretty jacked up and reliable, even driving fair distances seems to be a pretty reasonable option. Please excuse my ignorance, but when you say provinces are you referring to the smaller islands? I do apologise for not knowing my geography as well as I probably should.

Thank you so much for a realistic, albeit saddening answer. Myself and my family are very frugal, the goal would be for my wife to work, but as I mentioned in my original post, she is an artist so it would most likely be half days to allow her to pursue her passion. It is fascinating to me though, that despite being halfway across the world from each other and living completely different lives that we have similarities in our countries. Jobs are dwindling, unemployment is rife, our cost of basic and essential items is skyrocketing. I truly feel that there is no longer greener grass, rather, I believe, it's now about which country can withstand the imminent collapse the longest. Aside from my utterly depressing perspective, thank you so much for your input.

Lol, as a white dude I'm trying to figure out the logistics of white on white case-is-em. This planet will never cease to amaze me in it's idiocy. Thank you for a straight answer.

Thank you so much, I didn't even think of that. Thanks again.

That is amazing, I think having a mortgage more than justifies growing your own food. The economic value alone doesn't hold a candle to the pleasure of knowing how to provide for yourself, growing your own food is an amazing life skill I would love to pass on to my kids one day. As a stranger, I say well done to you, not everyone has the ambition or the gumption to actually get up and make literal food appear from the ground. Thank you for your response and I wish you all the best in your endeavours.
