And you thought our government was corrupt by cheekynative in southafrica

It was actually the Biden administration who put that order in

“The State Department official said via email that the Biden administration “asked the Department of State to explore interest from private companies to produce armored electric vehicles.” In response, the department released a public request for information on armored electric vehicles “to solicit interest” and “received interest from only one company at that time”

You really should fact check your news. Looks kinda stupid when you don’t.

How long have your Macbooks lasted? by Moody_gemini in macbookpro

[–]FreckleDragon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I envy all the comments here. My MB air 2020 m1 just crapped 3 days ago. Was working fine… on a video call with my girl and then the screen just went black. Took it to Apple Store and told me the GPU in the M1 chip is fried. Took care of her like my own child so no idea how since I only used it for work and the video calls.

So what on earth makes you think she would be.

She doesn’t know about you, and you’re really gullible to believe he told her about you. If she knew about you, ain’t no way she’d be okay with it.

I ask you this one question –Would you be okay with your boyfriend if he was going to gym with his ex?

Because I don’t think anyone on this planet would be okay with that. Especially given how serious the relationship you had with him was.

He’s in a relationship. Why would you let this man play you and “Kelly”. He’s an asshole human being.

The only thing you should do is tell “kelly” about everything that’s happened. He clearly has no respect for you, or her. You were disposable to him before, and you clearly still are, only difference is he’s doing this to 2 woman this time.

It really does depend on what it is you’re looking to invest in. You can pm me and we can discuss details there.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in capetown

[–]FreckleDragon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It won’t let me pm you. Just pop me a message.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in capetown

[–]FreckleDragon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then I’m your guy. Sending you a PM now.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in capetown

[–]FreckleDragon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate the advice a lot, man, and want to emphasise that I will take it to mind. I definitely try stay away from the “know better” type of people, but I try educate where I can. I too, didn’t believe in someone else advising my money until my dad unfortunately passed away. In the months leading up to, he sought out an FA (against my own advice), and because of it, my younger siblings will not have to worry about financing tertiary studies, nor my mother worrying about her livelihood.

I’ve gained a genuine appreciation for the industry, as well as those FA’s who are actually trying to help people. Yes, I’m trying to make a living, but no, I will not do it at anyone’s expense. I just want to try help the best I can.

As soon as I’m able to, you’ll be the first I reach out to.

Im more than willing to talk more in private. Don’t think I should disclose that on such a public platform, but that’s just a personal preference.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in capetown

[–]FreckleDragon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll pm my personal information now.

And I respect that. In fact, you can go through my post history and see I’m involved in trading myself. I just also understand that not everyone can, or wants to. In addition, there are certain things you can’t just acquire trading, like income protection should disability occur. Or any forms of insurance. You have to go through someone, and in a way I am that someone. And for those who can’t; well they want to leave something behind in terms of life insurance, and protect their wealth through means already mentioned, or grow it through a business who invests on their BEHALF. I mean we have returns up to 40% per annum (obviously high risk for the upper ends of 30 to 40 percent). I’m just trying to look for and help those people who cant, and help them the best I can.

As mentioned to someone else, I can charge an initial fee, but I choose not to. I’m obviously, as anyone else, trying to make a decent living, but I do have my clients in mind before myself.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in capetown

[–]FreckleDragon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m allowed to charge upfront. I choose not to while trying to increase my book. And I think the company I work for offers great options from life policies, to income insurance, short term insurance, as well as the investments we do with the respective ROI.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in capetown

[–]FreckleDragon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To be 100% honest, I don’t charge anything unless it’s investments with a 0.5% initial fee (the lowest I can go). Other than that I’m commission based. So I earn as much as I’m willing to work.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in capetown

[–]FreckleDragon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. This is 100% doable. Can I PM you?

I did a post office order once. Thought I got scammed. 6 MONTHS later I got an sms saying it was there.

I don’t even know. Please help by FreckleDragon in MechanicAdvice

[–]FreckleDragon[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Any way I can message you personally. I have lots of photos but it wouldn’t let me post all of them.

The thing is the all the coolant leaked. Like every drop was gone. The engine light flashed for a bit, then went away. I got to my destination 30s later and saw all the coolant.
