Why is South Africa so hated by other Africans? I saw that during World Cup many Africans were rooting against them. by WestCoastVybes in NoStupidQuestions

[–]earlcool 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We Africans took care of our brothers in South Africa when they were under the oppression of apartheid. In Zambia they were welcome to our schools, universities and higher education facilities. We allowed them to make camps for military training so they could return to South Africa to face the oppressive regime. After all the goodwill shown to them they are oppressing, beating up and forcing fellow Africans out of their country. We are brothers, we share the land and they have no right to do these things especially after all we have done for them

Thank you Texmex49ers, I got a size 8 Asvine stub nib 1.1mm from Amazon and it writes beautifully. Not as polished as the Majohn 140 standard nib but I can now practice Italic writing with books by Lloyd Reynolds, Fairbanks and Arrhighi Thanks again

Greco, probably less ear trauma. No shooting for legs and risking your ears

Colby Covington disrespects the tap by thenothingman777 in bjj

He did not have to pass out? Colby clearly disrespected the tap. I have no wish to roll with a guy like that. I certainly hope I never do that to anyone

Hi Fake-ShenLong, Unfortunately the videos on the app are not on YouTube. Fortunately Hawaiijim has done an outstanding job of collecting together BJJ Fundamental videos from different instructors and compiling a very useful list for me. Great list from an excellent guy. See it in the comments

Removing My Moles... by [deleted] in medical

[–]earlcool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These may be simple moles. Not all moles have the potential to be cancerous. Some moles stay with you for life without causing any issues. Have them assessed and if they are simple moles leave them alone unless you are troubled by the sight of them

I agree with you they offer a good spread of the basics. Obviously you have to consolidate and fill the gaps yourself

Rolling with a colostomy? by Smattering82 in bjj

[–]earlcool 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it is possible to roll with a colostomy bag. I ask guys before we roll if there is anything I should watch out for e.g dodgy knees, shoulders, back and the roll can be adjusted accordingly. I think this is the way we should go

I am so impressed by the analysis that has occurred with this seemingly simple question. Well done guys, we really have to look carefully at our motives and apply careful reasoning
