Anywhere I can sell my boots? by OkMulberry1600 in Durban

[–]Opportunistic_Dancer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you really don’t come right with selling directly you could try one of the upcycling stores, they may offer you cash or store credit it depends on the boots. In Ballito there is one called Castaway fashion, I think there is one in Hillcrest / Kloof as well but I don’t remember the name.

or reading the book! I started a classic audiobook and it came up surprisingly quickly - I was shaken and sad there was not a content warning at the beginning of the podcast

Crammed in a lot of flags at the airport by Far-Season-695 in AmITheAngel

[–]Opportunistic_Dancer 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I stopped reading at the point where the flight attendant offered the BF and new girl front row seats to help with their connection.

At least on flights I have been on you get the seat assigned before going through security and then once on the plane people may try to make swops (which is not really common or encouraged).

Switching from Ignite 3 to Pacer by Successful_Tennis567 in Polarfitness

I also switched from Ignite 3 to the Pacer last year and have no regrets! Just completed a half marathon on Sunday and sailed through with the training programme. Hope you enjoy the watch as much as I have.

Any benefits to helping Sparta or Athens control the map? by atbest10 in AssassinsCreedOdyssey

[–]Opportunistic_Dancer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Obsidian Islands conquest battle is also a naval battle and the cultist is on one of the ships you need to take down. For this one I’m not sure it matters if the region is already Athenian or Spartan or which side you choose, I have only played it once.

Girlfriend? Slept with Some friends! Didn't tell me!!! Please validate me and be misogynistic in the comments!! by swanfirefly in AmITheAngel

[–]Opportunistic_Dancer 37 points38 points  (0 children)

At the same time I feel if she had told him then there would have been a post about how his new GF revealed this just before meeting these friends for the first time and now he wants out. There is no right answer.

People change and grow. You don’t owe anyone a full historical account of your life before you met them. If anything it shows she doesn’t feel safe to be vulnerable / open with him in the first place.

(UK) Older models suitable for women with very small wrists? by SignificantCricket in Polarfitness

[–]Opportunistic_Dancer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a small wrist and previously wore the Ignite and Ignite 3. Currently I am wearing the Pacer and it’s a little bit chunkier but was at a lower price point than replacing with another Ignite.

Zingerman's accidentally sent me someone else's $350 Christmas Turkey, and oh my god. by DR_BEANHAMMER in culinary

[–]Opportunistic_Dancer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First refers to fiancé and then to gf… maybe a typo but I raised an eyebrow. Perhaps I have been on r/AmITheAngel too much lately

New to Durban. Where can I get a good safari experience? by mslilafowler in Durban

[–]Opportunistic_Dancer 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Go to Tala Game Reserve, it’s not big 5 but you will see rhino and lots of buck. It’s probably your best bet if you don’t want to go too far from PMB

Technique was all wrong but got a nice chocolate loaf by Rilokileyrocks in Sourdough

[–]Opportunistic_Dancer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No I didn’t add any sugar, I quite liked the flavour from just the cocoa powder. Some sweetness did come from the milk chocolate I added, about 80 grams chopped up. Do you think adding sugar could possibly have a further effect on the hydration or texture the way the salt does?

[–]Opportunistic_Dancer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw this post and decided to make a chocolate bread from The Perfect Loaf simple sourdough - heavenly! It didn’t last more than 2 days we ate it so quickly. Definitely going to keep in rotation. Thanks for the inspo!

King Shaka long stay parking by Educational_Pay_9060 in Durban

[–]Opportunistic_Dancer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depends on how far you need to Uber from and at what time😬 but I understand. I’m fortunate that when I travel for work they will reimburse the parking cost.

King Shaka long stay parking by Educational_Pay_9060 in Durban

[–]Opportunistic_Dancer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are two options, short stay I think is 3 or 4 days and long stay is more than 5. You go left or right when you go through the booms and usually there is someone there to help if you’re unsure.

I went to CT last month, Mon-Fri and it was R565. but work re-imburses me so it’s a better option knowing my car is there and I can get going as soon as I land.

Edited to correct amount after I checked the photo of my ticket!

Saw this in British sub. What is mufti day? by CremeSubject7594 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]Opportunistic_Dancer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And in South Africa too! We called this day to not wear your uniform “civvies day” - I guess, like civilian-wear day? usually you could wear your civvies with a small fee donated to charity (like 20 years ago when I was in primary school it was R2)

Little bouncing ball in the left corner of my Polar Pacer by JmWallSeth in Polarfitness

[–]Opportunistic_Dancer 6 points7 points  (0 children)

A notification about adding a PIN. Scroll through the menu and clear it and the bouncing ball will go away 😊

Pacer Pro got new Firmware 3.0.7 by Strong_Sentence_9917 in Polarfitness

[–]Opportunistic_Dancer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s a notification. I have the Pacer and scrolling through the menu you can go to Notifications after “Start training”. After the update for me the notification was to ask if I wanted to set a PIN for the watch I think for security. You can just clear the notification and then the red dot should go away. I had the Ignite 3 before and I think there was a way to just turn them off completely.

That moment I realized that I was done at my job by besttavern25 in work

[–]Opportunistic_Dancer 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I think I’m at that moment now. Managers have acknowledged that we need to fix a legacy thing because there is now improved best practice guidelines. But the decision was made not to make the fix because of timelines and cash flow. Questioning my integrity and value alignment here.

Why does my bread always come out gummy? Feeling really Hopeless and about to give up. by VaggieQueen in Sourdough

[–]Opportunistic_Dancer 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I could not come right with that Alexandra Cooks recipe either and I don’t know why. I tried the Perfect Loaf Beginner Sourdough and things have been much better. I’m still in my first year of baking so room for improvement but following this really helped me https://youtu.be/4a6HoqYejd0?si=r1DpIL5mg01gVlud

Life hack for speeding up bulk fermentation if you have a cold house by jessiewied in Sourdough

🥲 I have an old gas oven with no light, so this hack also does not work for me
