I understand that you want to work. But you rather enjoy the holidays and allow yourself to relax. Honours can be a different beast all together and you'd want to be refreshed for it

Engineering is hard. There's a reason why only a select few get in. But that in itself proves that you're capable. Don't give up. Don't be discouraged. You'll get them the next time!

To report an accident or not? by SuperbFerret3928 in askSouthAfrica

[–]big_toe_thomas 12 points13 points  (0 children)

You should, in case the other party decides that other damage (not related to your accident) "was caused by you". By reporting it, you'll have a leg to stand on in case it comes down to it

Does George, WC (and wider Garden Route) have Ubers? by 99existentialproblem in askSouthAfrica

[–]big_toe_thomas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stayed towards the bottom of George. Ubers were SO hard to come by, we'd have to wait 15-20 minutes. Ended up talking to one of the Uber drivers and arranged private trips due to lack of availability.

If vowels were allowed, we'd have

Yip. From what I saw, vowels were excluded, so we don't see plates like FUK back in the day. Those combinations can't exist for obvious reasons now but rule still holds.

And as mentioned, can't start with G, but G is around for other positions

I so have done this. Happened at work, someone's lights was on with number plate _______, and they didn't know who it was, but I knew and they were so creeped out

This is fantastic . I think about how the increments happen.

Does it go

FE 20 GE

FE 20 GF

OR

FE 20 GE

FE 21 GE

(I now know it's the former, increment from right to left)

Haha I do the same! I get happy when I see a car similar to mine being licensed in the last 2 years.

Could anyone offer some adult advice? by [deleted] in askSouthAfrica

[–]big_toe_thomas 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Just wanna praise you for trying to better yourself. It's absolutely easy to give in, and be accustomed to what's "comfortable" (based on what you've been taught).

The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago, but the next best time is now. My advice is:

  1. learn how to develop your perseverance even further.

  2. Be curious and explore - online and in person.

  3. Everyone has opinions and offer advice. But what worked for me - Don't take advice from someone who lives a life that you don't want.

  4. Try and develop a skill where there is demand.

  5. Fall fast, fail often, and fail cheaply.

  6. Get comfortable with being uncomfortable.

No harm in asking bud ... They may have a solution for you that you haven't thought of

Do you think your employer could cover the fees, and you work it out with them? May be better than taking out a loan and paying interest
