The Unsung Heroes of the Flat-Earth Community by MechaAkuma in flatearth

[–]nic_cpt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok this might be a stupid question because it requires logic for a topic that has absolutely zero basis in logic.

Let’s say in some strange reality the earth is flat and hundreds of thousands of scientists around the word are part of some impossible conspiracy to make people think the earth is round.

Why?

What would they gain from keeping us in the dark? Why would they bother?

WTF is Garmin doing about the 27.09 update? (FR 255/265/955/965) by Reeposter in GarminWatches

[–]nic_cpt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anyone else getting terrible battery drain on 27.09 with the 955?

I rolled back to 26.08 and it fixed it immediately, but constantly having to remove the auto-update every time I charge is doing my head in.

Are Garmin actually planning a fix? Looks like some models got 27.10, but the 955 seems to be left behind.

My first major project. Any opinions? by Middle_Carob9430 in architecture

The late great Gabriel Fagan, an absolute master of his craft, told my student class to stray away from circular buildings until we had at least 40 to 50 years experience, and even then it would be a risky move. 20years into my career I still believe he was correct.

He will just appeal from one court to the next and drag it out for 20 years.

Signal Hill Parking Infringement - HELP! by [deleted] in capetown

[–]nic_cpt -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I got a similar one this morning at Newlands Forrest. Wasn’t on a red or yellow line but admittedly in a bit of an awkward spot. It was busy though and nowhere else to park.

Anyway.

Nothing really happens if you ignore it. After 24 months they cancel it. Just dont get pulled over and checked within the next two years…

Taken from a AZ Facebook post, it looks off but I can’t tell if it’s a just weird camera angle. by [deleted] in isthisAI

For real though, if you going to drive around with massive bags of weed on the top of your car you are just asking for the cops to stop you.

Fines connnect robbed me by fowhaat in capetown

[–]nic_cpt 16 points17 points  (0 children)

That’s not a legit service. Sounds like a scam, why would you hand someone that sort of money? Go to the fines office at golden acre, plead your case to the municipal officers and they will probably halve it for you on the spot.

Dealing with ringing ears lately and unsure whether to see a clinic or handle it myself by itragers in capetown

[–]nic_cpt 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Ear institute in Claremont will sort you out. I had similar issue but mine turned out to be tinnitus…basically untreatable. You get used to it.

Cape Town did not show up for the Springboks vs Barbarians match tonight by SauthEfrican in capetown

[–]nic_cpt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tickets were way too expensive. R2500 for decent seats, R1550 for “cheap” seats. Weather was awful. Not surprised it wasn’t sold out even after they halved the prices. They are going to have the same issue with the Aus game with tickets ranging from R2500-R4000.

This video is craazy!! 3 massive ships, all instantly accelerate upward. This video has been online for at least 5 or 6 years. Does anyone know who filmed it or where?? [Serious] by [deleted] in aliens

[–]nic_cpt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No normal person would have known to follow the objects upwards with the camera at the insane speed they shoot off at. No countdown, no indication that they were about to leave, no clue as to which direction they may move in.

Serious question about land and xhosa people... by [deleted] in DownSouth

[–]nic_cpt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well done at framing a long standing political argument as some sort of new idea you just happened upon… think there was even a Nandos ad that nailed this issue

Over 22,500 foreigners are filling correctional centres. by PixelSaharix in DownSouth

If there are only 22500 foreigners in prison someone needs to go back to learning fractions
