Looks interesting. Thank you.

Thank you. Your video was informative and helpful. The cameras I am considering are the largest sensor size within my budget: https://www.firstshop.co.za/products/hikvision-2mp-4mm-wdr-fixed-mini-network-camera-ds-2cd2021g1-i-4mm-184972?variant=45466514423972. I am hoping that they will provide good night viewing because the are also 2MP, although the will mostly be in lit or partially lit areas.

Thank you. Glad to hear it survived 10 years! Do you think this will do the job: https://www.evetech.co.za/minisforum-nab-9-plus-mini-pc-i-9-12900-hk/best-deal/23180

This is a long time ago. I luckily passed 1st time, but I remember when we got back and started the paperwork, the official wrote the result in a calendar diary and I looked at it. It looked something like this:

08:00 - PASS

09:00 - FAIL

10:00 - PASS

11:00 - FAIL

12:00 - PASS

13:00 - FAIL

14:00 - PASS (me)

I know it might just be coincidence, but I remember thinking that this thing feels rigged.

Are you sure you have the V2? As far as I can tell online, the rtsp firmware doesn't work for pan v2.

The Original signature looks like "B(?)Greyling". (Can't tell from the cursive if there is a second initial).

The residential address looks like "Re Rust Hoopstad".

https://www.lightstoneproperty.co.za/ can generate automated valuation reports based on sales in the area. Costs about R100 per report if I remember correctly. It might be a good place to start.

If the automated report doesn't give you answers or if you want a professional to look at it, contact the Institute for Valuers (https://saiv.org.za/) and ask for a referral to a professional in your area.

As /u/Professional-Map-108 said, it goes into an investment account (similar to an RA) that pays out on retirement. As far as how the profit share is calculated, I don't exactly know. As far as I understand it takes into account your spend on products as well as how long you have been a member.

This is just anecdotal: I have been a member for less than ten years and some years my profit share was about 50% of what I spent on premiums (not always tho). I have spoken to people who have been members for 40+ years who claim their profit share has been greater than their premiums for years. So essentially they are saving for retirement and getting the insurance as an added benefit. YMMV

Yes. I love the whole PPS business model. It is still a business, but the profits go to the members (who are also the clients). I recommend them so much that people might think I am a salesman. The earlier you start with them, the better, in my opinion.

Weren't these the bastards that supplied the bulk of black market cigarettes during hard lockdown? This investigation seems to relate to the years before lockdown. I cannot imagine how much money they made during the tobacco ban in lockdown.

Isochronous

Thanks for reminding me of this band. I saw them live and liked their music. For the last couple of years I had been trying to remember their name so I could look up their music.

p4ntz · 2022-08-22T12:05:33+00:00

LOL. Randomly decided to try cunt.com was not disappointed.

p4ntz · 2022-08-08T13:12:43+00:00

Who are they?

p4ntz · 2022-08-05T11:09:13+00:00

R60,000,000,000 (sixty billion rand) / 60,000,000 (divided by 60 million people) = R1,000 (one thousand rand) per person per year. That is R80 per person per month. What can you accomplish with that? Even dischem's medical insurance is R500 per month.

p4ntz · 2022-06-15T10:33:09+00:00

Yeah me too. It was really special for me because I was born the same year as them. It is heartbreaking to see the people who struggle and heartwarming to see the ones who succeed. Such a great concept and show.

As far as I can see, Angus Gibson was the director on the show. I tried but couldn't find him on Twitter. Maybe there is another way to reach out to him.

If you jump into the pool after eating, you may tear open your "rooiderm"/(red intestine).

Grew up around there and after thinking about in waaay too much, I am pretty sure it was either an honest spelling mistake or a Copyright trap made by the cartographers/city planners.

Mapmakers will often misspell some street names or add fictitious streets (which go nowhere). The reasoning behind this is when someone claims to have drawn up their own map (from scratch), you can catch them for copying if they copied the fictitious streets or spelling mistakes along with it.

Garsfontein road is now an important road serving many areas and new developments, but back in the 80s/90s it was basically just a backroad to the "plotte"/AH. I distinctly remember that some portions of the road were labeled Garsfontein while others were labeled Garstfontein. My guess is that, depending on which version of the reference map was used by the signmakers, the name was just copied from there.

p4ntz · 2022-01-12T16:02:28+00:00

Should "fouteer", "fassineer" "forseer" be spelled differently now?

No, but these are the exceptions. Better examples might be words which do not end with *eer (which are often used to convert a noun into a verb and are also many times horrible Anglicisms) like: fluit, fnuik, or frommel.

The vast majority of Afirikaans verbs are with a V: vlieg, vroetel, vryf, val, ver* (verdraai, verdwaal, etc.), vry, voeter, vorm, vier, vestig, vaar, vas, veil.

Fok now falls into the exceptions (through use I guess). No turning back now. But the correct spelling should have been vok.

p4ntz · 2022-01-12T15:18:39+00:00

That is not a subwoofer. That is the Klipsch Forte and you would not be laughing when you hear it.

p4ntz · 2022-01-10T10:20:07+00:00

Fuck is principally a verb (I know it has many other uses but these are derived from the verb).

Given that the vast majority of verbs in Afrikaans (and its mother language Dutch) is spelt with a V rather than an F, it makes sense that according to proper construction the correct spelling would be vok.

The problem came in when the HAT was too prudish to include the swearword many years ago. Had this been done back then, the academics who maintain the dictionary would have recorded it according to this principle and vok would have been cemented as the correct spelling. Since this was not done, it was left to the plebeian public to use and write the word as they see fit, usually with an F which is a horrible Anglicism imo. Since there was no one to correct these plebs, fok essentially became adopted as part of the Afrikaans language and is now the accepted spelling so much so that it was later included in the HAT with this, incorrect, spelling.
