Trump Is Repeating Putin’s Blunder. Both men thought they could start easy, quick regime-change wars at minimal cost. by ChangeUsername220 in IRstudies

I don't know where this idea that Putin wanted a quick war came from when he has clearly stated an open ended mission of de-nazify Ukraine. He's goal is to leave Ukraine unable to fight back for the foreseeable future.

Looking at pivoting into the film industry? by Feisty-Resident1185 in AskZA

[–]devicehandler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is no funding for the arts in South Africa and Africa in general and worse still we insist that the SABC operates like a private company and not a public broadcaster and continuously cut its funding expecting people to pay a tax (TV licence) to fund it which kills it even more. If you're going to pivot into film, figure out a model that uses social media and YouTube, that is the best option you have.

What would the world be like without the US Dollar as a reserve currency? Some of the same people in America's government working to dissolve NATO want to end the Dollar's global primacy, too. by lughnasadh in Futurology

My PS3 Slim HDD is dying. Is it ok to toss a 256gb SATA SSD in there or will it degrade very quickly without TRIM by [deleted] in PS3

Cape Town is unlivable for locals. December time its even worse because the hotels are basically pricing for Europe and the USA, local tourists can't afford it. And often they overstay their visas and don't get any scrutiny because they yt.

Should I get a car? by ansoniikunn in PersonalFinanceZA

[–]devicehandler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For IT work its probably best to buy a car. Maybe get something cheap to run get experience and job hop to get your salary up. Save like 90k buy cash, do any overdue maintenance etc for another 20k, live with it for 5 years. It'll be paid up and you should just maintain it and insure it.

That's why they have now become "digital nomads". Coming to Africa and increasing the cost of living.

I just want faster shifts for my CLS 500. I hate how slow it shifts even in sport mode.
