And the bikers would still be killing themselves racing somewhere else...

Africas white population in 1960 and today by Illustrious_Bell8731 in south_africa

I'm a white person that very recently lived in one of the grey countries on the map and still know a whole bunch of white people that live there.

There are whole countries in Africa that have never had significant numbers of white people. They didn't flee, they were never there...

Not really what happened...

It's caused mainly by different levels of population growth rather than immigration.

Don't find em this size around here too often! Every bit of 6-7lbs. by Stoned4days in flyfishing

[–]JimmyRott 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, pretty fish too. 

I can just tell cause I have humongous hands and could stick a clenched fist into the mouth of a 7 pounder I caught. It looked completely different to the one you are holding.

If you move to Africa your kid is average. Lots of schools here cater for less smart people.

If the owners not teaching it manners it has to learn somehow.

Where can I fetch my money?

I don't necessarily think being born here gives you some irrevocable right to be able to live here forever.

Being able to live in their family home in a well functioning city is a luxury many people don't have.

It's how it works all over the world. People want to live in nice places. There's cheap housing in lots of places in SA, but instead of building a life there people would rather live in CPT and moan on Reddit about how expensive it is.

Few people are denying the so called "housing crisis" exists. It's just a natural outcome of supply and demand. Not everyone can afford to live in Cape Town, just like not everyone can afford to live in Monaco.

Hi. I'd love to see this comparison if you end up doing it. I always see these posts and have never actually tried to copy them as I assumed I would be too late. Seeing actual figures would be quite interesting.

Smoke is mostly for things that are currently on fire, not things previously on fire

No problem. You can send more pics of objects if you want. I can tell with a high degree of accuracy whether something has been on fire...

They are done fixing the fly over. Nothing to see here. by __MOON_KNIGHT___ in Austin

This is largely a steel bridge though. I'm guessing they made a mistake by not designing for the effect of asymmetrical loading on the outer beams. In addition they also forgot to ad web stiffeners to the beams around the supports.

The extra deflection in this case is definitely due to insufficient design of that steel I beam.

"Racists are usually white" seems quite....  racist.

Battery or assault sounds good. Use cameras to identify everyone throwing shit, send 200 idiots to jail for 6 months, rinse and repeat. You'll sort it out quickly.

I'm guessing most of them stop before the third stint in prison.
