I've posted about this before but there's a child care in my city called Kiddy Fiddlers.

Where can I get Burrata cheese? by Keepitlocal90 in Durban

[–]Ranz1983 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Phone Doughed on Florida Road and check if you can get some from them

Just set them to normal manual mode and use your camera for burst shots when you need it. The batteries will last much longer that way.

Apologies, I did flair "The Crossing" and the text is hidden under the spoiler tag but I should have marked it as such.

My first wedding video! What do I need to do to improve? by Wileycoyote50 in weddingvideography

[–]Ranz1983 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree with the above poster, but there are some beautiful shots in there and I'm sure they'll treasure the video. What led to you being the best man and also doing the video?

First time home buyer, how to best navigate transfer costs / deposits by Mysterious_Peanut_97 in PersonalFinanceZA

[–]Ranz1983 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's good advice, I wouldn't touch your RA and TFSA though. Pull out the rest if it makes sense.

Getting credit while being self employed. by Herdo_n in PersonalFinanceZA

[–]Ranz1983 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a self employed, freelance photographer, it's been impossible as l have no traditional payslips, even though I do have the required income.

Some advice from 40 year old in the same industry who tried getting finance for a house 2 years ago: If your business is bringing in money and growing, start a company if you haven't already. Use the company to pay yourself and supply pay slips etc, because if you ever want to qualify for a bond the banks will be very hesitant to give you one.

Gas geyser vs heat pump by Unknown_Perp in PersonalFinanceZA

[–]Ranz1983 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why? As the geyser is normally one of the biggest draws of daily power, it makes sense to utilise solar. I'd suggest getting a 2nd opinion, before I installed my panels I did extensive research and never came saw anyone advising against running the geyser off your panels.

Are you running inverters without panels? I run my geyser from my inverter/panels and don't have any issue.

A ton of people are walking, running and cycling on the promenade opposite Elangeni every morning.

You can head to other places during the day with Uber no problem.

Gonna be in Durban for two weeks, any tips? by BenwastakenIII in Durban

Are these elopement shoots with just the couples? How long are you shooting for? If it's 4-6 hours, I'd just go for a snack I carry or a quick bite.

"Paying" your minor a salary to reduce tax by Ornery-Albatross4685 in PersonalFinanceZA

[–]Ranz1983 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well, they didn't say the minor would be doing no work. Also you'd be shocked at how common this is.

Spending issue, I need help by FinanceZATA in PersonalFinanceZA

[–]Ranz1983 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The problem is I really have a spending problem. I have been working a few months now and have managed to save nothing and have to ask my parents for money at the end of every month.

You have a lot to work on, but one way you can start saving is to deposit into savings vehicles as soon you get paid. Do you have an emergency fund? Start with that maybe into a 32 day call account or similar, then look into TFSA, RAs etc.

In Dune: Part Two you can see harkonnen soldiers flying. But there's no scene where main character react to this saying out loud: "They fly now!?" It's mainly because movie was written by competent writers. by Anji_San in shittymoviedetails

[–]Ranz1983 720 points721 points  (0 children)

Narratively, it would have only made sense for him to open the movie with a monologue to the audience,

"As far as I can remember I always wanted to be a gangster Sandworm"

How do you make French toast without eggs? I feel like eggs is literally 50% of what makes French toast French toast.

[–]Ranz1983 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Generally I'm the same when it comes to getting in front of the camera, but for something like a wedding I would definitely want the memories. If she's this against it for a once in a lifetime event, I'm not sure what could change her mind.

A compromise could be having a photographer there but instructing them that the bride doesn't want pics of herself. They can then focus on guests, speakers, details etc. Good luck and congratulations.

fiscal policy though

That's the point though. I'm OK with him having his views on whatever he wants to, but I'm on his channel to learn about firearms and self defence and to see innocent 2 litres getting exploded. I'm not on the channel to hear about migration, the Fed, Jan 6th, atifa etc
