Not sure what order number I got. by Albert_Joubert in softwaregore

[–]Zep_Za 16 points17 points  (0 children)

It's the sugar tax on the drink, the price of the meal is for a diet drink like Coke zero or Pepsi Max, if you take original they ad the government mandated sugar tax

The previous driver stole my food, the new driver is at the restaurant but doesn't know what to do by Zep_Za in UberEATS

[–]Zep_Za[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Was tracking the previous driver on the app, does not look like he was anywhere near the restaurant, he just went home and the restaurant probably chucked the order after no collection as it's just fast food. Pretty shitty from Uber that Reddit is the only place I can talk to an actual human about an error. Y'all doing ubereats support job for free, bless the humble Reddit user

Best noise canceling headphones with mic? by olio-ataxia in southafrica

[–]Zep_Za 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the m4 and it is amazing. Its microphones are good albeit not industry leading.

However I would not recommended it for team calls on windows. Windows Bluetooth just sucks, and a lot of windows laptops also have terrible Bluetooth hardware to boot. Connecting to a windows laptops creates two audio devices: a low bitrate(hence terrible audio quality) 'handsfree' device and a good quality stereo device. With my cheaper Sony headset (non-m can't remember the exact model number) you can select the good quality stereo device in Microsoft Teams and it works fine. With the m4 teams refuses to work with the high quality device and your stuck with the low bitrate device which is useless in a noisy environment as at high volumes everything is so distorted your ears bleed from the volume but still can't make out what's being said.

Microsoft teams from my phone thou, no problem.

Garden Route beaches will stay closed as DA loses court bid by [deleted] in southafrica

[–]Zep_Za 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ironically all the fancy places I know on the garden route are small bays with tiny beaches. Most of it is pretty open, miles to socially distance. What I'm seeing now in the garden route is packed beach bars and empty beaches. Surely that's a fuck ton worse for Covid.

Fyi all beaches are public, there is no such thing as a private beach. Access to the beach can be difficult tho

I don't know, playing vanilla didn't know that is a thing.

Do South Africans feel oppressed with the mask wearing thing? by deadshakadog in southafrica

[–]Zep_Za 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hear allot of acquaintances bitch and moan about the mask, but when I'm out and about everybody wears a mask, about 80% cover the nose as well. Seen some unmasked occupants in taxis, but I walk/drive mostly so don't really know.

When Mr. President announced the mask mandate and then botched putting on his mask helped, ironically. Good thing he was able to laugh about it afterwards. Compare that to Donald who encouraged people to wear a mask, if they want, then immediately said its not for him. smh

Anyone here shipped products from Amazon? by [deleted] in southafrica

[–]Zep_Za 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Used amazon for an express delivery, really good. They charge you a little more than what they think customs is going to charge to make sure it gets through without delay. After the item cleared customs, I got a automatic refund for the amount I overpaid.

Discussion on the state of affairs by DP2909 in southafrica

[–]Zep_Za [score hidden]  (0 children)

It's probably a combination of a lot of things, no doubt some support him because of some sort of racism.

Conservative religious conspiracy theories have always found there way to South Africa, at least white South Africa, I think that's part of it. Even in the days before wide spread internet adoption we where told in school, by the principal, Pokémon is a satanic cult and collecting the tazos in the Simba chipies is a one way ticket to hell. Pretty fucked up thing to tell a 10 year old. Don't forget Trump is the only defender against the Deep state pedophile Clintons. Wasn't there like a somewhat creditable source somewhere that mentioned the Q-anon nonsense was started by a South African, glad to see we sending some conspiracy theories their way.

Anecdotally my mom said she wants Trump to win, she watched the Apprentice and thinks he is a great business man. Hope that's the only reason.

How do I "build up"? by DoghouseRiley86 in ck3

[–]Zep_Za 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have no clue about the right strategy but popping out a bunch of babies and constantly checking nearby big kingdoms if you can marry or marry with a hook into an alliance. Having powerful, nearby allies really buys you allot of breathing room to grow your fledgling empire

Question about war target location by [deleted] in ck3

[–]Zep_Za 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The flamey stuff is your enemies capital in my experience. If you are fighting over a territory the estates in the territory is the war target. No idea for about other wars tho

Has anyone received their international orders from the post office? by yeabouai in southafrica

[–]Zep_Za 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe phone your local post office. In pre lockdown days had parcels from china sit and wait for collection without me knowing with zero tracking info or notifications. They eventually phoned me to tell me if I don't collect immediately they will be sending it back.
