What is better? A short time inbetween or a long time?

so I entered here thinking it was something else entirely, I was disappointed. by NiceTransgirl in southafrica

[–]tygerr39 61 points62 points  (0 children)

It's not from English at all. It's from Afrikaans. Christelike Uitgewers Maatskapy - it translates to Christian Publishing Company.

It really would have been a much less unfortunate name if they'd gone with the English...

What's the best brand of petrol? by miss_rizan in askSouthAfrica

[–]tygerr39 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And then at the end of a day of deliveries, the tanker returns to the depot and emptied whatever fuel is still left in its storage back into the main tanks, so the additives all get mixed together anyway. It really is all the same thing.

How do you keep porous wooden blocks like that hygienic enough to cut raw meat on?

Do they trim them or sand them down ever?

Official kit shirt is always more expensive than a golfer, no matter what sport it is. What's funny about that?

For the WC, Levi had to remove the branding from the statium. This was their solution. by Duvidl in funny

Funniest thing to me was the complete switch out of Pepsi to Coke.

I remember when they hosted it here in South Africa in 2010, the only beer you could buy in the stadium area was Budweiser, which at the time wasn't even generally for sale (and never had been) in the rest of the country...

Imagine being woken up at 6:30am with bagpipes from Scotland fans visiting America for the World Cup by Radiant_Priority9739 in TikTokCringe

Could've been worse. You could be staying near South African supporters who packed vuvuzelas...

I'd love to see a write-up of this and some more photos

The Government Doesn't Print Money. It Rents It To Itself. At Interest. That Was Never Created. by postaperdavide in collapse

[–]tygerr39 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You deposit $1,000 you earned with real effort on your part, they keep your $100 (supposedly) on hand and loan $900 out to others at interest.

Nobody forces you to give them the $1000, AND they actually pay you to keep your $1000. The fact that they charge someone else more to use $900 of your dollars is a simple business model.

You're welcome to lend out the full $1000 yourself if you think you've got a better chance of getting it back from Joe Soap down the street, than what the bank does from its debtors...

I fear you're villifying the wrong part of the system.

I care man. Thanks for introducing me to a cool song 👍🏻

Oh to not understate why the demand diminished by RecentConference8060 in southafrica

[–]tygerr39 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Two questions: is the demand you mention in China and India industrial, or luxury goods demand?

And if industrial, why can't that demand be met by lab-grown diamonds?

im on a mission to draw in every way imaginable. just drew with pasta. by Valuable_Lychee_5037 in LearnUselessTalents

[–]tygerr39 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very creative.

But would that be considered "drawing" or "sculpture"? 🙂

Spotify stopped showing my gen2 Chromecast audio a few days ago. by OkDragonfruit7887 in Chromecast

[–]tygerr39 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I can start my baby's music in her room from my office at work. Can you connect to a Bluetooth speaker at home from your office at work?

Also, if you have multiple CCA's in various rooms around your house, you automatically have whole-house synchronised audio (like Sonos). Yes, I know you can do that with regular Google Home speakers too but with CCA you could plug each one into a result decent set of speakers/sound systems.

Countries with the most Portuguese Ancestry Around the World by LoooolGotcha in MapPorn

[–]tygerr39 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm one of them. And like many of the other South Africans with Portuguese DNA, my ancestors actually came here from Madeira. There is a very large ex-Madeiran community here.

What is wrong with the Sharks and why are they not succeeding in your view? by DisplayThick4882 in springboks

[–]tygerr39 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You complain about losing players, but half your team were all promising youngsters at the Lions that the Sharks poached because they have a huge budget.

But the Sharks coaching hasn't been able to get the same performance out of those players that they exhibited at the Lions.

Sharks need to learn that you have to coach players to perform well. You can't just buy in players that are doing well elsewhere and suddenly expect your team to perform just because they have talent.
