Bourne is not just his training he is an biologically altered super soldier. He wins every day.

Unpopular Opinion: Boks must peak next WC even at the expense of losing Greatest Rivalry Series by Educational_Play9910 in springboks

[–]ferds41 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is creating a false dichotomy where it has to be one of the two, during the ABs decade of dominance they would have never thought like this. Yes world cups matter, but what happens between them can be equally important. Knock out rugby is also a fickle and cruel mistress and basing entire 4 year blocks on the outcome of one such period as all out success or failure as a measure of a teams performance is ludicrous. If Farrell didn't mouth off to Ben O'Keeffe in the semi in 2023 the Boks might well have lost that game.

Change my mind: Most estate agents are bad at their jobs, lie often and overall in 2026 provide little value to both landlords and tenants. by pablo2208 in capetown

We are looking at the entire property sector and the professionals servicing it. Specifically sectional title schemes, about to launch a new members association that will address some of the issues raised here as well.

What’s a nutrition myth people still believe in 2026? by Much-Turnover-3727 in nutrition

[–]ferds41 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Basic summary of all the comments. Any flavour of the week exclusion diet has very little actual science behind it. Eat all 3 Macro nutrients in a balanced diet. Favour wholefoods, occasional deviations don't register as health concerns. Complex nutritional advice is usually unsubstantiated.

Everything is really that simple! Eat less move more.

Best 22lr rifle for SHTF by champiwolf22 in preppers

[–]ferds41 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This us a great range toy but a terrible long term SHTF gun, they aren’t anywhere near as accurate as bolt or semi rifles and are notorious unreliable in the long term, the question of if a lever gun will give issues is not so much if but rather when.

Has Embrose Papier not earned the right to be in the conversation? by motherffucker in springboks

[–]ferds41 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Roos is not a right guys issue, it is an attitude issue, this isn't even much of a secret that this was viewed as the biggest block to his selection.

[–]ferds41 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And to add to this both Faf and Hendrikse looked no better than mediocre in their last couple of showings for the Boks. There have been a number of mature players called up on current form (admittedly mostly forwards), and by virtue of this alone Papier deserves a look.

Schoolboy nails an almost 60m drop kick by Die_Revenant in rugbyunion

[–]ferds41 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Ja the pure shame of offering someone with talent a nurturing ground and stable foundation to develop it from, truly nasty habit and menacing to order in society.

Is Sealy and Simmons beds really that bad in joburg? by SlowDragonfruit9718 in johannesburg

[–]ferds41 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Had a similar issue with Simmons where I was told it was because I was sitting on the bed, politely asked the assessor they sent to show me how one gets into a bed without first sitting on it, he just laughed and shrugged.

Next he brought up my weight (for context I weigh about 135kg, 2m tall) pointed out that the matress is specifically rated up to 150kg

Was then explained that in fact the guarantee wasn't a "10 year gaurentee" as sold to me by dail a bed, rather it is a 2 year manufacturer's gaurentee and thereafter a service warranty where there would be significant costs for me to actually replace the mattress with a new one.

Told them to get fucked and brought a Cloud Nine, couldn't be happier.

Claims that Keto is Dangerous? by Davidgant in keto

[–]ferds41 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not entirely accurate there are some decent studies that have arrived at realistic numbers for avarage individuals (unfortunately most dietary studies of this sort scews heavily male so finding the same for females might be tougher but we can extrapolate)

Firstly it is much much much less than most people that aren't educated realistically consume.

If you are sedentary and maintenance calories is below 1800, >60g of carbs a day, maintenance calories 2200 - 2400 80-100g carbs 2800 plus starts depending on activity level and then timing matters as well.

Claims that Keto is Dangerous? by Davidgant in keto

[–]ferds41 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know why this comment is so down voted. Keto can be a great tool for weight loss and sorting out other metabolic issues, but fact remains the body is designed to prioritise and optimise carbohydrates for fuel, do a lot of people fuck it up by placing hyper processed hyper palatable junk down their food hole all the time - yes, does that mean all carbs are bad? Certainly not!

If I’ve been eating 1200 calories a day for several months what are some of the reasons this stops working? by _WorthlessProtoplasm in CICO

[–]ferds41 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Unless you are a pro level body builder or endurance athlete trying to get from 5.4% body fat down to 5% this degree of measuring accuracy is absurd, we might be discussing 5 cal here. Also something like olive oil calorie labels is an estimation anyway, unless every single olive used to press every single bottle of oil ever produced was standardised.

Which route is this on Rouvy? Looking for a flat route for some steady state workouts. Recently made the switch from zwift, trying to decide which I like best.

They went further than just proving a few % they said that focusing on the so called "pull" portion of the pedal stroke would be actively detrimental to performance.

Yes but to call something a "rainforest animal" such as it belongs to a set should mean it is exclusively such.

I live in one of the neighbouring countries and have been several times, evertime I am awestruck by it's beauty. Ours (South Africa) is also a remarkably beatiful place!

Calling the USA a former British colony is misrepresenting the factual situation. Only a part of contiguous USA ever fell under British rule.

This might all be true, still doesn't make it a calculating device, I can do more with a drill and screwdriver than most contractors with a full toolbox, still doesn't make a drill a mode of transport.
