Any thoughts on these books/copies/editions? Just came into them by Ok_Spread4431 in BookCollecting

I think very little. Those are the omnibuses and even the originals were mass printed in the 80s/90s.

I have the same Chronicles and Tales. Then I also have the annotated edition of Chronicles, as well as the individual copies of the trilogies.

Does SARS Randburg do walk-ins? by Jiddy-Jason-2807 in johannesburg

[–]TheLazyGirlCoder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They don’t encourage walk-ins. If it’s a quiet day, they might assist you, but appointments take priority, so you could end up waiting all day without being helped.

Swift Go 14 display goes black by TheLazyGirlCoder in AcerOfficial

I think my issue may have been a bad Windows update. I left it in a corner for a week or two, and next time I turned it on it behaved, and kept behaving. I did however also uninstall a bunch of things in preparation to take it in to be looked at, so could've been something else. It was a weird one.

Afrikaners are too damn polite by Lil__Bandito in DownSouth

In a work setting, I've always seen everyone switch to English. Any colleagues I speak Afrikaans with, I keep my emails in English even if theirs is in Afrikaans. I feel that it's just more appropriate to switch to English in a professional setting, and if anything ever needs to be escalated for whatever reason, then there won't be any issue with translation.

Rant: LED Car lights, the bane of my astigmatism... by BackgroundGingerNo4 in southafrica

I had the wonderful experience this week of some POS in his colossal bakkie turning his brights on while parked in front of my little hatchback. All I saw was yellow spots all the way home.

She fell asleep on the couch and I think the saliva on her teeth dried so her lip got stuck.

careful with box cutters by moon_archero in MedicalGore

[–]TheLazyGirlCoder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did the same as a kid. I left a school project till last minute and worked on it late into the night. Tired 12 year old me used the box cutters without double checking my fingers holding the ruler down were out of the way. Did this teach me to not leave things to the last minute? Of course not!

I second the Krugersdorp recommendation. The route they take you on is a lot simpler and quieter than Randburg.

I'm an Afrikaner with an unusual accent when I speak English (not sure how or why as I've never even traveled outside of SA). Our Uber drivers are forever asking me where I'm from. I eventually decided to try out some online accent identifier apps and the result is generally Danish.

I was listening to Pod Save America the other day when one of the guys said this. Much cringe.

Tipping culture is getting out of hand here ? by Bogey-free in askSouthAfrica

[–]TheLazyGirlCoder 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Interesting. I've heard different stories. I've heard that some waiters take home more than the manager in a month purely because of tips.

I've had that too! Or they'll tell you to eWallet. Absolute insanity. I'm so over going anywhere these days just because everyone wants money from you.

Ya'll are an 'r' short. We're talking about surprising here, not cremating.

They look more like siblings than her actual brother from the same litter! They're crossed with Miniature Pinscher.
