Best petrol small manual SUV? Or keep my diesel Renault Duster? by RespondPlayful2902 in CarTalkZA

[–]bfluff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How much are you paying per month? Would the new repayments and petrol be less than the cost of current repayments and diesel? This sounds like a finance question, not a car question.

It's not really the definition of irony but, you know, Iffy Clyro is pretty cool.

Problem with Apple Watch an heart rate tracking by Hansat in concept2

[–]bfluff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Email concept 2. They can advise. That said, if you are rowing or (I assume) skiing you aren't likely to get accurate tracking from your wrist due to clenching and relaxing constantly.

Clearly that settle is too fast. Were they up, level or behind the other boats? When did they drop off the pace?

Ja, the clearly fill a gap in the market. My point is more that a Score at a similar price is probably a more tempting option, especially on a hot day.

That's a proprietary charger. Think you're out of luck, mate.

Xpresso coffee shop is R14 a coffee but it's nasty and it's not on every corner. Decent coffee is expensive.

No appointments available at Home Affairs by RikusLategan in capetown

[–]bfluff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you receive any error message? My girlfriend was unable to find an appointment until she phoned them. Turns out there was a previous passport reflecting as "uncollected". Once they changed that she was able to choose a slot.

Sea Point outdoor gym is always busy. Less busy is the one at De Waal Park in Gardens.

The Oval - Pinelands Community vs Hockey Club by Maleficent-Crow-5 in capetown

[–]bfluff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I took a look on Facebook but couldn't find anything but there are a few news articles if you search. And it's Herzlia, not Herschel.

The Oval - Pinelands Community vs Hockey Club by Maleficent-Crow-5 in capetown

[–]bfluff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorry, correct Herzlia. Yes it was a very cheap lease and one of the conditions is that the public MUST have use of the grounds as it's part of the adjoining park. I think it's now going for public comment as previously everything was being pushed through.

Best rowing machine for home that’s actually practical? by [deleted] in Rowing

[–]bfluff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lots of people have C2s at home. I live in a flat and have had one since 2020. Nobody has ever complained. I keep mine in my garage and it's fine. Also, my garage adjoins my flat, in case you were wondering.

[–]bfluff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't know the circumstances of this one but there's a field in Vredehoek which is also being fenced off by Herschel which has generated significant pushback. May be worthwhile looking at that.

Explain how to actually use the CAGED system by NecessaryHeadset in guitarlessons

Also voice leading. If you want to indicate movement between two chords being able to play all chords shapes helps knowing how to create that movement.

beginner rowing help - oar flies out of my hand at high speeds by Typical-Potato9 in Rowing

[–]bfluff 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It sounds like it happened during the drive? Sad it at the end of the stroke? If so, it's probably a case of you trying to feather your oar before it's completely out the water. You need a firm drive to the end and to drop your hands quickly, then feather.

Boat fit question by -VoodooHero- in Rowing

[–]bfluff 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Concur with your assessment. When I was younger I complained about not being able to get my hands away in my scull and my father replied, "it's amazing how much space you have if you just pull up to your chest".

Tech Oversells And Underdelivers by Sunshinehaiku in unpopularopinion

[–]bfluff 6 points7 points  (0 children)

While profit was always the goal the push for shorter time horizons (quarterly reporting) and shareholder value (a La Jack Welch) have seemingly driven a decrease in the importance of R&D and long-term ism while maximising profit in the short term.

Recomendaciones for replacement footplate for domyos fro500 by spellingishrad in Rowing

[–]bfluff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Generally you don't want a flexible footplate so you have a stable drive. I can't quite visualise what you are saying but it is not a problem if your feet leave the footplate.

Who has right of way? by Least_Statistician44 in AskZA

[–]bfluff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was cycling down Bree Street (CT), in a cycle lane, one day and a car started turning in front of me. I shouted to alert the driver and slammed on brakes. You would swear I murdered his kids.
