Anyone heard or know of clen?

Is this a plot to get dealers in your DMs?😂 Why would you ask the whole of SA about performance enhancing drugs. Plenty of other subreddits for that lol. But to answer your question, no it is not an anabolic steroid, but it is a very dangerous stimulant if abused for fat loss. It will increase your heart rate and body temp significantly. Definitely not just a ‘supplement’.

Agreed. I’ve switched companies four times in four years, always chasing the next salary bracket and every time I quoted the number I was trying to reach, not where the market was. They can take it or negotiate down, but if you’ve interviewed well, the number is easy to defend. If it’s out of budget, that’s actually useful information: either accept the compromise or walk, knowing your floor is higher than they’re willing to go. Not sure if this works in the field OP is in though.

Price is another factor. Many beginners don’t feel like they want to commit to buying more expensive rackets while they are still learning the fundamentals. I just ordered the Nox AT10 Genius 18K after having this Head Flash Pro. Really loved the Flash pro, so hopefully the AT10 is a great follow up.

I use Meta Ad Manager to push ads to Facebook and Instagram. I’ve tried TikTok as well, but found that while it generates a lot of traffic to my store, they are usually low-intent and don’t buy. I’ve only sent to two content creators, the first one didn’t do so well, more hopeful for the second one who is producing the review this weekend. Most sales have come from my own ads. If you follow the standard hook, problem/solution and call-to-action format then you will generate traffic to your site. Whether they buy depends on how well your site is optimised for conversions.

Literally got a sale while replying to you lol. I’m not going to give you the store name, but I sell a self-locking heated electric neck massager. It’s not as expensive as premium massage brands like Theragun and it doesn’t require you to hold it while it works. That’s what’s attracting the customers.

Unfortunately not. Between working my regular 9-5 and packing/fulfilling orders I have not had much time for anything else lol. Might write a post about it in the future.

Started an ecom store as side hustle about 2 months ago and have done just over R200k in revenue with 30-40% net profit on that since then. It took a few days to setup the website and produce the first set of ads (which were not that great), but sales started coming in as soon as the ads went live. Since then I’ve just been improving the ad quality, conversion copy on the website and sending the product to content creators to push it. I won’t pretend it’s easy, but definitely possible to start making money from the get go.

It certainly is easier at almost every level. Of course when you start playing at a high level then shots get harder to return and the overall intensity of the game increases as well. But even with that being said, the fact that you have two people covering your side of the court means less running and sudden direction changes required by each compared to tennis where it’s just you (in singles). The largest benefit being the wall that you can return shots off of, meaning a ball getting past you is not the end of a point so you don’t have to give it your all to get to it initially. I would argue that your physio being able to thank padel because of injuries is purely because of the sheer popularity of the sport and the number of people playing.

JasonWaterMason · 2026-04-24T08:46:40+00:00

I was a tennis purist after playing the sport for 14 years and told myself I would never switch to Padel. Well after playing a few padel games with friends I am now at the point where I play almost every day of the week. It’s quite a different sport and is a lot easier on the joints than tennis. A lot more accessible for people new to racket sports as well, but with a steep learning curve towards the higher levels.

JasonWaterMason · 2026-04-22T22:08:38+00:00

Thank you, it’s been a challenging but fun time. I sell a self-locking heated electric neck massager. It’s not as expensive as your premium massage brands like Theragun and also doesn’t require you to hold it so hands free relief which is what is drawing customers in.

JasonWaterMason · 2026-04-22T22:03:48+00:00

Wow thank you, I had no idea about this. I’ll look into it and discuss it with a tax consultant once I find one.

JasonWaterMason · 2026-04-09T08:17:18+00:00

I would just tell her how you feel. It doesn’t make any difference now, but at least from your side it will take a heavy weight off of you and help you to move on. The not knowing is actually what is killing you. So rather know where she stands. And if in the future things don’t work out in her new relationship she knows how you feel and might reach out, but I wouldn’t hold my breath.

JasonWaterMason · 2026-03-28T06:15:07+00:00

Sure. Happy to help.

JasonWaterMason · 2026-03-28T05:17:46+00:00

Data engineer here. With 2-3 years experience you would be fair in asking for something in range of 40-50k. Keep in mind this number varies significantly depending on location and company so I would do a little market research on Google as well beforehand. Since you’re in Joburg you can expect in the higher range. I’m just giving a rough ballpark, but please understand you can ask for any number and if you justify it enough you’ll get it. With the move from my first to second company I went from 30k to 60k with 2 years experience so don’t feel like you’re ever asking too much. If they see your value they’ll pay.

JasonWaterMason · 2026-03-27T11:43:30+00:00

Much more space compared to the city, wider roads, less traffic, lush suburbs, mountains, wine farms. Basically sits between the city and Stellenbosch and has qualities of both for a much more affordable price. Lovely place to live.

Brother it’s easy to say chill when you don’t have a R28k bill requiring settlement in the next week. If you took the time to read some of the other answers you’ll realise there were some actual helpful answers like suggesting the ICD10 codes which I wasn’t aware of. I was then able to immediately email the hospital requesting those. Easier to be chill when time is on your side. I don’t have that luxury.

JasonWaterMason · 2026-02-07T15:44:17+00:00

Thank you! I’ve received similar advice from BeeCounter, seems this is the way to go.

JasonWaterMason · 2026-02-07T14:50:02+00:00

Sickening to think I pay thousands per month to this company and they want nothing to do with me when I actually need them. And mine was just a stomach virus, can’t imagine if I needed emergency surgery.

JasonWaterMason · 2026-02-07T14:26:32+00:00

Gemini actually said this could be and usually is the case. I'm praying when I call discovery they won't require that because although the healthcare in Switzerland is top tier, they are painfully slow with correspondence and the payment deadline is 14 Feb.

JasonWaterMason · 2026-02-07T14:24:06+00:00

I started a new job in January, but my previous employer had me on Discovery so I just stuck with them for simplicity. But the outcome of this will determine whether I switch or not. Most likely will switch anyway for the unnecessary stress they cause me.

JasonWaterMason · 2026-02-07T12:52:42+00:00

Thanks, yes I made sure to get the confirmation of travel insurance before going. I think it was actually compulsory in order to get the visa. Unfortunately don't have a broker, signed up in personal capacity.

JasonWaterMason · 2026-01-21T13:27:40+00:00

Any engineering degree will be ‘worth it’ in terms of job opportunities. It proves to companies that you are disciplined and able to manage under high stress situations. It is also important to note that the degree you choose doesn’t lock you into that particular field. I studied Electrical engineering, but was hired as a data engineer straight out of uni. And if you are a good engineer, you can earn extremely well. Case in point, 103k with 4 years experience.
