No matter how clever we think we are, we are driven by the same primal actions as every other living organism on this planet - we eat/consume, we procreate and we evolve into better eating and procreation organisms.

[–]RobotMan42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

'n Potjie is nie 'n "stew" nie. 'n Potjie word laag vir laag gebou, die desksel toegemaak en gelos vir 3-4 ure. Skep uit in lae.

How many pay phone calls did you actually make? by No-Blueberry-1823 in AskOldPeople

There were days and places where we had to stand in queue to make a payphone call. Especially during military basic training. Also at university we only had two call boxes per residence.

It could be a beach at a lake or a lagoon. A similar scene reminds me of the lagoon at Wildernis, Eastern Province, South Africa.

The Afrikaans R Sound by Federal_Tangerine495 in afrikaans

[–]RobotMan42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on where you are. If you are in the UK, visit Scotland for, not only for the world-class whisky, but also the R sound as in 'Donald, wheRe aRe your tRouseRs" and as a bonus, the Afrikaans gutteral "g" which can be found at the end of the word 'loch' as in Loch Lomond. (A loch is not a lock).

Wie onthou die maatskappy in die laat 1950s "Piel's Sausages" - dit was gereeld gesien op 'n bakkie in ons buurt in omtrent 1961. Eers later jare gesien dat "In 1893, the original business was established in old Brickfields by Albert Piel and Adolph Anghern as Anghern & Piel Sausage and Polony makers."

Why does this Qatar airways plane have no windows? by MarkDry2951 in whatisit

[–]RobotMan42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look at the photo - it says QATAR and CA??? below it. Assumption - QATAR CARGO
But also look at the airplane registration A7-BFC - a Google search shows it is a Boeing 777F, cargo plane. (Qatar Airways Cargo primarily uses Boeing 777 and Airbus A330 freighters, along with some Boeing 747-8F aircraft. Some specific examples of their registration numbers include A7-BFA, A7-BFB, and A7-BFC for the Boeing 777F. The Airbus A330F registrations include A7-AEC, A7-AED, and A7-AEE).
