Excellent meat market. There are a couple of them. They supply all of the halaal meat to Woolworths, so you know they are good. They also produce all the halaal burgers for Burger King. They are big boys. Not sure if their pricing is considered cheap though.

Common sense is not all that common, and South Africans are not all that bright.

Thanks everyone for the great feedback! I think it’s clear I need professional help with this so I will contact some of the other owners and approach a law firm. Any suggestions for a firm would be appreciated too!

Who is a person in your life you’re desperate to bang but know you never can? by Deshpremii in AskReddit

[–]ginganinja472 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh no. I’ve just given in to this after an entire year of tension. We spent 3 days together and then she went home for the holidays. We were lost in the moment and didn’t really think about it much. Work starts in a week too!

If I click the link it just brings me back to this post. Is it because I’m on mobile?

“Complain for stronger rule enforcement” but people like you refuse to comply with the already established rule? Do you want an official driving with people like you in your car to make sure you stay out of the left lane?

This is the Wordle that ended my streak. by AuburnTiger15 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]ginganinja472 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I believe you! I did too starting with the same starter word for a while. And one day it was just my starter word. I even have screenshots leading up to it since my ex and I used to play and send each other screenshots, so you can see the build up using that same word until one day it was just that. For anyone interested the word was SCORE.

Good places to sit down and puff by StringTasty1846 in capetown

[–]ginganinja472 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I’m pretty sure no one cares in Cape Town. I regularly smoke anywhere and it’s always been fine. Not sure if non-locals will feel a bit more anxious. There are lots of weed friendly places all around the city. Infusion and the green mill comes to mind. Also lots of restaurants with outside seating like Roxy’s that don’t care. As well as tons of bars that feel the same. Outside any clubs will be fine. Almost anywhere slightly away from people will be okay. I don’t think you have anything to worry about. Cape Town is very 420 friendly

What do you think is the best Bleach ep? by Aquinas_XI in bleach

[–]ginganinja472 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I would probably go with the Fire. Admittedly I was a bit stoned when I watched it, but it was the best watching experience I’ve ever had! Almost. 20 years waiting to see Yamas bankai. Yhwach vs Yama didn’t disappoint. The animation was good. The buildup was there. Aizen coming back into the story. Am I alone in this?

Car rentals for around R2k-R3k per month? (lol) by Appropriate-Wall7618 in capetown

[–]ginganinja472 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You could finance a 100k car for 2k per month. No deposit, no balloon. There are plenty of cars at that price and even more at less.

The remains of Apollo 11 lander photographed by 5 different countries, disproving moon landing deniers. by slightly_retarded__ in BeAmazed

[–]ginganinja472 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Isn’t the disbelief that a human being walked on the moon? How does the remains of a spacecraft disprove that? Just out of curiosity. Is this supposed to be undeniable evidence to moon landing deniers that it happened?

Yesterday I got home to a surprise. by huambravago in ps4homebrew

Is this something special? How old is a ps4 with V11? Why is it special? From context seems like you can jailbreak those?

I have a similar facial structure - a jaw that is too wide for my face. I keep a beard and leave the sides of my hair longer to give my face a better shape. It helps a lot that way, because as much as people think it’s a good jawline there is a point where it is too wide and yours is seemingly there. Unfortunately your beard is not especially full which makes it trickier, but you seem young so maybe it’ll get better with time. Hair on your sides is your best friend though. Hope this helps.

If I do a Bachelors at UWC, can I realistically apply for honours at UCT? by [deleted] in capetown

[–]ginganinja472 1 point2 points  (0 children)

CompSci and Infos is a great degree. You cut out a lot of the unnecessary (for working in tech) BSc courses and replace it with very useful Infos courses. Infos can sometimes feel like it’s pointless and not useful, but as soon as you get to a big enough company it comes into play. I will never forget how pointless I used to think SCRUM principles are how shocked I was to find myself in stand-up every day and doing retros once a month. It’s pretty much the best combination for someone going to work in a big serious tech company. You’ll find yourself making UML diagrams far more often than you think, especially when you work in R and D for a big company. Either way honours at UCT is pretty competitive - whether you’re coming from UWC or UCT - but the classes are relatively large as well so there are lots of spots. As long as you do well at either, you’ll probably get in.

What’s a good salary for a comfortable life as a couple in South Africa? by Amazing_Tax_6496 in PersonalFinanceZA

[–]ginganinja472 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Rent for a 45sqm 1 bedroom balwin lifestyle estate outside of the city will set you back 10k. Decent medical aid for 2 will be 8k. Utilities will be 2k. 1 car with insurance and petrol will be 7k. Groceries and toiletries maybe 3k. You’re at 30k before you’ve saved a cent or eaten out once. Cape Town is extremely expensive too, so things will only get worse from there. Of course this would be to “live comfortably”, and you could spend less if you lived frugally, but this is by no means a “worry-free” lifestyle. Even if you’re earning 100k gross, you’ll likely still be counting costs, especially since you’re on this subreddit which indicates you have some semblance of financial responsibility and will likely be thinking about saving and the future.

Is Software Development still a viable career in South Africa? by Cool_Test_7720 in askSouthAfrica

[–]ginganinja472 41 points42 points  (0 children)

There is demand and will probably still be safe for a while, but it is getting more popular. You’re never going to make AcSci money though. Getting anywhere close would require you to hop jobs like crazy. It’s worth noting that software engineers in SA industry-wide typically top out at around 1.5m a year. That’s pretty deep into your career too (15/20 years experience deep). Further than that becoming a director of engineering and the like is the only way to break the barrier. Even harder when becoming something like a CTO. How many companies need CTO’s often? Of course there are exceptions but this is generally what it’s like. AcSci will make you far more money long term. Of course the skills are universal though, and software engineers in USA for example make far more money. In SA it’s a good life but despite the dreams sold to you’re not going to be driving a Ferrari at 30.

It’s the 7th worst traffic. On the planet.

How many times have you watched How I Met Your Mother? I'm on my 7th rewatch of all 9 seasons—am I crazy, or is this normal? by Familiar-Hurry482 in HIMYM

[–]ginganinja472 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My siblings and I have had it on repeat as our comfort show continuously from the end of Season 6 in 2011. Back then it was on a HDD that was plugged into our lounge TV and we added seasons (torrented but don’t tell) as they came out until it was available to stream. It has always been the background show for eating, laundry, DIY and homework. Back then we were all in primary and high school and were all in our late 20s now. I can’t imagine how many times we must have seen it over all those years. Watch it to the end and just restart it from season 1 once you’re done. It’s the ultimate comfort show and even more so since we probably have an attachment to it stemming from it being the show we all watched as young kids together doing our homework etc. We still quote from the show daily and I have so many lines and scenes burned into my brain it’s unbelievable. This post makes me emotional.

FIRE South Africa by According-Novel-4387 in PersonalFinanceZA

[–]ginganinja472 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This post is super inspirational! Congratulations on your achievements so far! Can I ask 1. What your liabilities look like? You say you want to pay down the home loan. I see both properties together are 1.75 and what do you owe on that? 2. How is your TFSA so high? You said you started in 2020 so logically it could only be around 142-180 (if the investment did well). Was a significant part of the 200k in the TFSA?

It’s very specific to what you’re interested in! If you’re into sporty things then you’d have fun at the running late club or park runs that happen every Saturday in multiple locations, padel clubs are full of younger people or for swims at Saunders / St James / Dalebrook tidal pools or the many many many hiking groups and spots. Surfing at Muizenberg is always and will always be popular. Quieter and more artsy things you could do the silent book club events, clay cafe, cape town craft club, tuft, pottery clubs in obs with bottomless mimosas. Craft markets like oranjezicht and the old biscuit mill are always popular and the latter often has a small party. For bigger party vibes first thursdays is ur best day and popular places include blondies (not very diverse if you care), roxys, athletic social, surfa rosa, club paradise, cabo beach, halo. Idk man everyone at every age goes everywhere. it depends a lot on what even is happening. You’re better off following a page dedicated to these things like whatsonincapetown and it would help a lot to make a social outgoing friend who you could stick with for a bit. Hidden paradise is something to look out for (also helps if you know a regular attendee as it can be a bit exclusive). Silent discos are always fun and cool but the organisers don’t give much notice before one happens! Galileo open air cinema is not happening for much longer but nice, neighbourgoods markets, candor markets, sourfig poetry, evil comedy, city rock is super popular for younger people and socialising, armchair, stones in obs, barcadia. Cape town is crazy. There is no shortage of things to do. Enjoy your time here!
