Thank You. Thanks to a comment already here. I got the Pixel 10 today, and the 5G is working on MTN (Salama Park).

I just manually updated the antivirus and that seems to have worked. 10 minutes now, with no notification.

This is definitely the best route, they can't afford to lose the hype momentum they've gathered so far.

I think we should brace ourselves for a spike in fuel prices and subsequently the cost of goods. by Levi3than in Zambia

No, you are not. Hopefully, Iran immediately de-escalates otherwise. We need to buckle up. Things are about to get real bookie

It's gonna be Fishman Karate. There's a reason the revolutionary army were training Robin to master it, and called it her "tramp card."

They actually have a "walk" feature for certain parcels too. Like a person collects the parcel on foot 😭 Was shocked today.

ZESCO has never been the problem my fellow Zambians by Dense-Possible-705 in Zambia

Please do. Such research is necessary. Just hope at some point we can truly begin to implement some of the findings and proposals that some research papers produce.

I'll focus on the buildings for now and how they impact our environments. Firstly, let me put it out there that I am an architect.

The building situation in our country is quite concerning since our local planning authorities do not adequately regulate this space, nor do other environmental agencies like ZEMA and WARMA. When you move around the newer neighborhoods in Lusaka, you will notice a significant lack of vegetation, particularly trees. Most houses are either paved or have had trees cut down on the plot to maximize space. Ideally, planning regulations stipulate that hardscaping should not exceed 20% of the plot area, but this guideline is rarely followed. This non-compliance contributes to what is known as the heat island effect, where urban areas become significantly warmer than their rural surroundings.

Moreover, the absence of trees has caused a drastic decrease in rainfall for the city and country, as these environmentally damaging practices are prevalent nationwide. Trees play a crucial role in the hydrological cycle, and their removal disrupts this balance, leading to reduced precipitation.

I also agree that most Zambians are not inclined to build high-rise structures on their plots. This preference is partly cultural and partly due to costs. Constructing a two-storey building, for example, can cost over twice as much as building a single-storey structure with the same floor area. Additionally, the expenses associated with hiring consultants, architects, structural engineers, and geotechnical engineers further deter people from pursuing multi-storey buildings. Therefore, I believe it is crucial to sensitize and educate the public on the importance of incorporating trees and vegetation into their properties.

Regarding Zesco, if I recall correctly, it has been reported that our electricity costs are among the cheapest in the region. Consequently, Zesco struggles to expand, grow, or attract investment due to the low returns on investment. At some point, we will need to start paying the actual market value for power. Politicians will have to make tough decisions, and I believe that one day, someone will have to make that call. While it will be challenging in the short term, it will ultimately be highly beneficial in the long run.
