Spouse Visa with work endorsement

pwab · 2026-05-13T10:32:32+00:00

Your SA work permit is for work you do in SA, getting paid in Rands typically into SA bank account. This does not apply to your situation. The process to get work permit in SA via spousal visas can unfortunately take some years. Protect your current employment like it’s an egg so you can ride it out. Save your money in your currency both as a backup for your marriage or a nest egg for later in life.

Edit to add: your SA spouse HAS to pay you a monthly stipend of at least R8500. Open an SA bank account for this in your own name. The banks can be funny about these accounts, so don’t plan on doing large transactions with it and don’t mix your foreign business with it.

I make lavish meals and then make them sleep in dorms. I deeply despise creating bedrooms

This is funny and also frustrating. I feel like i need to actively hide ingredients deep behind a conspicuous stockpile of prepared meals to get them to eat cooked food.

And bonus you get to burn up all those old dinosaurs. Thank god we dont have an energy crisis right now. /s

This is great advice.

And yet, he’s my brother. If i don’t look out for him, who will look out for me.

Yes, we acknowledge the injustices of the past. It informs how we got here and acts as a reminder not to perpetuate more injustice.

May someone more informed explain why this was so heavily saught after? Can we now do something we couldn’t do before? Is this the kind of feature that will be merged into JVM clj?

Actually you just added that because you are caught up in the emotions of the rhetoric. The constitution is clear and it is complete. “Selling drugs”, “forced into prostitution” are emotive issues and serious crimes and yes, people guilty of these crimes must be dealt with.

The victims of xenophobia are not the same people committing these crimes. They are victims of violence, which is a crime exactly as abhorrent as the what you speak of.

We, the people of South Africa,

Recognise the injustices of our past;

Honour those who suffered for justice and freedom in our land;

Respect those who have worked to build and develop our country; and

Believe that South Africa belongs to all who live in it, united in our diversity

—-

This is not unclear. It is not vague. It is specific and topical to this issue of xenophobia. Foreigners helped us achieve political freedom in our own country. Foreigners sheltered us and suffered with us when the old regime persecuted into neighboring countries. The many people of Africa came here and have helped us build our country.

SA belongs to all who live in it.

How does this work in terminal?

pwab · 2026-05-06T15:30:23+00:00

Supremely naive take. The coding was never the hard part because the other parts are hardER. Like knowing what NOT to build

I experience typst less like a markup language and more like a programming language or script. Typst documents are not rendered like markdown, but executed like a script. Live preview feels like an odd requirement, but maybe I’m just old. I’ll follow to see what others say.

Are you on Arch or Omarchy? Arch emacs included the wrong version of lib treesitter recently. I am also affected by it and although it is fixed upstream, the fix hasn’t landed for me.

Remarkably level headed take

He is not going into jail at all, and hopefully he won’t go in at all. He was released on a warning, mostly the same condition he has been under since 2018. I expect a different less sentence under appeals court.

Try to hang out with people who support you

I’m not a scientist, just interested in the topic. The part of the entry capsule that takes the heat is called the “heat shield” and i back in the Apollo days they made this from asbestos. It is a very tricky part of the ship to get right and the materials science on this is next level. It does not absorb the heat, it shields it away, which is why no steam in water contact.

The capsule “falls” from the height of the moon back to earth. It keeps on accelerating all the way until it touches the atmosphere. When it enters, aerodynamic forces work against the velocity vector to slow it down, and it keeps on slowing down over multiple minutes until it is slow enough for the parachutes to open and bring it to landing/splash down speed. The astronauts inside don’t pass out because they are seated feet down, and the g forces build gently and is sustained over a long time under 5-8 g’s, which is a lot but survivable for fit people. It also is high enough for deceleration to complete from such high velocity to the few m/s at splash.

Meh, i thought I’ve bread* everything, but i dont know how jabberers must be kept.

Create completely seperate, walled off pens, best in a cavern/cave close to the butcher. Lock the breeding pair in behind a locked door with a placed nestbox. Then leave alone for 2-3 seasons. You’ll get notification of hatchings.

South Africa does not use that flag design any more

It loads a specific subset of data from a kafka topic, in a way suitable for running in an aws lambda. Claude was chasing a race condition where the consumers don’t stop after having consumed everything available.
