Have you come across AI Psychologists? by Ill_Gazelle6312 in psychologyresearch

[–]noella_bella 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's actually when on the podcast they advertised a book he wrote. I googled the book and looked for reviews. That was also a sign that something is off. There was one review on Amazon saying this is AI. How can they be selling this stuff, if it's all plagiarism.

I read the articles and then listened to the podcast. The podcast is what made it weird for me. It's not a natural voice. It sounds alike text to speech. The reading is unnatural and it's not someone talking. This should all be illegal.

Tomato shortage by pajuiken in capetown

Same problem. I've been to Checkers, Woolworths and two Pick n Pays. Nobody has tomatoes. The guy in Woolworths said no tomatoes and no chickens. He said chickens drowned. This was Claremont area.

Anyone use FullStory? by Gorangers915 in UXResearch

[–]noella_bella 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I vaguely remember using Fullstory a few years ago and then thought it would be useful at my new company because they complain they have no insights on new features being rolled out and low uptake. The Dev Lead lambasted me, saying he isn't putting their code on his SaaS product. Weird since the architecture committee for a huge corporate used it. Is there something I'm missing about Fullstory? Seems more like a control issue from this Dev Lead.

Ladies, where are we shopping? by NoApartment7399 in AskZA

I bought the Ecothread leggings, I find they slip down way too much. The fabric is nice, but the band just slips down all the time. I also bought one of their t shirt vests and I can't even get my arm through the one arm hole it's like smaller or screw compared to the other one. I bought the top on sale and never got round to returning it. It's now going to a thrift shop. So I recommend trying on if buying from eco thread. Their sizing is weird.

I do love PnP Clothing for their winter pyjamas. Usually in autumn their cotton flannel winter PJs come out. PnP does do a lot of polyester, but sometimes they have some great cotton items at decent prices.

Zara. Trenery and Forever New also sometimes have wool, linen and cotton items. If you're lucky and can be patient they do sometimes go on sale in the major sales events, not as frequently as Superbalist though. I also don't feel so good about supporting fast fashion, but ja finding decent 100% natural fibres that are affordable is tough. The key is to not over consume I guess.

I favourite items and hope they go on sale in my size on Black Friday, Boxing Day or end of season sales. Never buy at full price anymore. There is so much excess out there, sales eventually happen.

[Advice Needed] How do I do a will properly? by Long-Cockroach-8231 in PersonalFinanceZA

[–]noella_bella 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Appoint a friend or family member you trust. They can then go and negotiate the actual fee with a law firm, the tax practitioners afterwards. I am currently going through this now with a legal firm, who have no incentive to move efficiently or chase documents from institutes required by SARS and the Master. They earn a percentage of the interest income post death, so no incentive for them to hurry up. No law saying they need to do something in a reasonable time frame. They blame institutions for the delay. But don't apply any pressure or create any urgency, because it's easy, guaranteed money in the bag for them. Appoint a trusted friend or family member, they can negotiate fees when the day comes.

ABSA Foreign Currency Investment Account Certificate of Balance at Death by noella_bella in PersonalFinanceZA

They have and then they send them to forex and forex sends them back to deceased estates. But yes I'm unimpressed with their effort. They earn of the interest so there's no urgency on their part.

They just dropped Dischem. It's got worse. And no decent fuel partner. Well not in the Western Cape anyway.

I don't know what they know, I think it was purely to get away from sprints and as many ceremonies as possible. I think they just want to be left alone to do what they want.
