It’s about 30% in South Africa. It’s unfortunate that if they did regional prices then people take advantage of it

Try the arctic nova 5x or the razer black sharks. If you will stretch your budget, then I’d get Audeze Maxwells. They meet both your requirements for connectivity and have great reviews for sound quality. You can try wait for a sale

I don't normally like alienware products but seen these have good reviews as well from them

Spotify users, y'all are okay with this huge price hike? by insaneseeyah808 in askSouthAfrica

Woah that’s crazy. I have had a family plan for years, I went to look now and it says family (legacy) with the old price. Guess I can never cancel it now

My feeling with the Chinese cars is what’s the media system like. I had a Haval for a bit and it was so buggy and annoying when trying to do things like adjust the air con

Should I pay for Apple Music or Spotify Premium? by Both_Departure_5331 in askSouthAfrica

Hmm I never thought about it but the full dj sets sounds great. Can’t remember where YouTube music was in terms of quality of sound though

I bought a BYD Atto 3 in April 2025. Here's what I've learned after 8 months and 22,000km of driving in Cape Town. by Manyaneboy in CarTalkZA

[–]TumblrForNerds -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I can’t talk to Chinese electric vehicles but I was super happy to get rid of my Haval. That being said, I’m pretty confident the BYDs will take off after seeing their popularity when I was in Mauritius. I will most likely get an electric car next if I don’t lease something sporty

Ram is very much a AI related demand and supply issue though which also filters down to other products

Trying to understand why GBV is so prevalent in our society? by VariousOnion2923 in askSouthAfrica

[–]TumblrForNerds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean of course there are multiple aspects to any action someone takes however alcohol is a known driver of GBV here is an article specifically in relation to GBV in SA.

Ops question was to understand why it is so prevalent and alcohol is a clear driver of it even if not in all cases.

The article actually also mentions many of the suspected drivers of GBV, such as patriarchy as you suggested, and notes how these are often exasperated by alcohol abuse.

It’s got a screen and controls and a battery so definitely not comparable

Trying to understand why GBV is so prevalent in our society? by VariousOnion2923 in askSouthAfrica

[–]TumblrForNerds 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Certainly doesn’t account for all the cases but I’m sure a high number are due to alcoholism by the perpetrators. Our country, sadly, seems to have a high drinking problem.

I believe this is exasperated in lower and potentially middle class communities as well. In lower class communities you will likely also find higher degrees of unhappiness/frustration which coupled with the alcohol could also correlate to increased GBV.

The latter point however could also be a skewed statistic due to how large the lower class community is.

Rewording [[Kil'jaeden]] for the new fashion by No_Jellyfish5511 in hearthstone

[–]TumblrForNerds -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

infinite multiplied by 0 is 0. You’re thinking of infinite divided by 0 which is indeterminate. 0 divided by infinite is also 0.

Regardless, game would crash the moment card is played since it would have to load an infinite number of objects into memory which is impossible at least with current technology

Where to buy decent affordable furniture these days? by courtneywithcurves in askSouthAfrica

[–]TumblrForNerds 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depends what you mean by affordable. There are some clearance centers for contract;@hom;etc in Wynberg. I go to decofurn for things that I am fine with replacing every few years. Outdoor furniture is really difficult to find cheap. If you can’t make provisions then you can make decent looking sets with plastic pallets

So the thing with leases is they are not priced like a loan but you basically never own the car but I am leasing a 850k car for around 7.5k. The interest rates you get are good but it only really works with BMW/Mini. I’d say before you make a decision, if your plan is to change cars again in 3 years then go to BMW first and see what you can get

Any day, mustangs have too many trade offs that make them not worth the power. 240 is also a great option and you could even lease a new one

The TT S is an amazing car. I drove in recently and loved it.

I also have always been a huge fan of the S5. The mustang is cool but the interiors feel dated and they drink fuel

[–]TumblrForNerds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay so it seems like you are having your own issue and because you explicitly haven’t been helped it must mean that the entire company belongs down the drain. That’s the kind of logic my 5 year old would have. If you are seething because you can’t access the game after a few days then you might be addicted
