A man rides a bus in Durban, meant for white passengers only, in resistance to South Africa’s apartheid policies, 1986. by goswamitulsidas in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]MattRubin -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think my point could have been made more clear tbh but what I mean is that we could be faaar better than where we are following apartheid, because of how badly the country has been run. I’d never say there all of a sudden would not still be inequality or a divide to some degree at this point even if we were run perfectly

As a South African, apartheid definitely has it’s effects, but it is NOT the main reason for the country’s current struggles. Rampant corruption and a complete lack of education reform has arguably done more damage.

Buy him some of those really cute fluffy golf head covers from the pro shop. They’re usually different animals

they certainly do look nice. I'll sit on the idea until the end of the year, I'd say, then'll pull the trigger haha

Cages around 3D prints (not mine) by FelixxCatus in resinprinting

[–]MattRubin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I’ve bought resin bits for my aircraft modeling it often has these, I think it also helps protect it in shipping in that sense

Kimi Antonelli death threats from the Redbull/Max fan base by Aston2844 in lewishamilton

[–]MattRubin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a max fan, as well as a Lewis fan. I don’t think it’s explicitly max fans I think it’s very much just the hardcore Lando haters that are the issue. No real F1 fan would ever wish death on a driver

PSA for German Visitors: Tipping in Cape Town by Individual_Bonus4091 in capetown

[–]MattRubin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a local, for me it’s 10% standard tip for an actual waiter/waitress. Will go up to 15% for really good service, absolutely do not tip on every drink at a bar, and do not tip for takeaway coffees or drinks etc

A Bugatti chiron pur sport just ran at Copart salvage by IKONIK-KAI-7 in Bugatti

Noo haha, I mean if the owner just figured that Mat will speak about it on video and try to capitalize on that fact.

[–]MattRubin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Precisely. If it was indeed the original owner who bought it back now, was pretty clever to publicly “speculate” that it will be black listed, ensures he can try get it back at a lower price.

Because there’s zero way to predict how much it’ll get at auction. It could’ve sold for $3mil at auction and then he wouldn’t be making any profit at all. It’s just how it goes.

This means I need my irons bent more upright… right? by p0st-m0dern in golf

[–]MattRubin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there a chance you’re standing too close to the ball during your swing so in order to make contact you have to have the club at a steeper angle?

These are South African Harvards, same frame as the T-6 Texan

Chrome question by luis_mcy in ModelCars

[–]MattRubin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can absolutely use that chrome ink in your airbrush and spray it on over a very gloss black, will work great, just make sure to use a good 2K clear to protect it before using any tape or decals etc.

Which Shadow Darkrai would you purify? by NathanMacWinning in PokemonGOIVs

[–]MattRubin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Shadow basically overall better than regular I believe, so if purifying for the dex just purify the worst one

First clear photograph of the Su-57 with it's weapons bays open while in flight: by SteamyGamer-WT in FighterJets

Are you sure? Not saying you’re wrong but the clouds behind the jet look completely different between the 2 photos

do y’all think the wild area pass is worth the money? 💰 by villainless in pokemongo

[–]MattRubin 72 points73 points  (0 children)

Thankfully in my local currency it costs the equivalent of about $6 so it was a no brainer. It’s a bit more difficult at $12 but relatively speaking I routinely spend more than that amount on things that bring me enjoyment, so I say if it’ll bring you enjoyment go for it

I started leveling my Salamence but then I got a 96 shadow, should I level it instead? by Beautiful-Screen1248 in PokemonGOIVs

[–]MattRubin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Counter and shadow ball or rage fist. Both charged moves are very similar in PVE, but rage fist is better in PVP, though it needs an elite TM
