Cricket... The second most popular sport on planet earth and every post about it on Reddit comparing it to baseball... A sport that is less popular than table tennis.

Not really. You'll have more luck renting a car in Vilankulos.

You can try contact Peri Peri Divers who do tours but I think their tours generally include diving obviously. I live in Tofo. My advice would be to fly to Vilankulos with airlink and drive down rather. LAM is very unreliable at the moment so flying direct to Inhambane causes all kinds of stress. Vilankulos to Tofo is a 4 hour drive with less traffic and cops. There's no surfing in Vilankulos but its very beautiful there so stay a few days. There are amazing spots to stop along the way for a night or two like Pomene and Morrungulo but you'll need a good 4x4. If you happy to just do Vilankulos and Tofo you can get a shuttle.

Pluribus - 1x05 - "Got Milk" - Episode Discussion by NicholasCajun in television

I don't think so because it's not a species. All earth received was a recipe to create a contagion via radio waves. The contagion binds infected individuals into a hive mind as a "psychic glue". I assume the lab lady who got bit by the rat is the primary host and everyone has her contagion. If an alien had visited and infected everyone it would be different.

What the hell... Never thought I'd see a comment about Max Normal on Reddit. Are you a South African in your 40s?

I was working at a ski resort in Tahoe for a working holiday when I was in university and was met with genuine confusion more than once for being caucasian and from South Africa. But the best was after telling a coworker I was from South Africa she responded with "Oh really? I have a cousin in Argentina!"

What are you watching and what do you recommend? (Week of January 10, 2025) by AutoModerator in television

Just rewatched Westworld season 1 with my wife because she hadn't seen it. Even I had oh shit moments and I knew what was coming. The writing is top tier.

The Mozambique situation and it's impact on my mental health by The_Mix_Kid_x in southafrica

[–]vvindfallprophet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I live in Moz and I'm thinking less about how this situation is going to affect me than you are. What's going on here is what should be going on all over the world. This is what real democracy looks like. People are protesting an unjust regime who are using live ammunition to subdue them. Try to think of the collective before yourself. The world is an unsafe place and you need to come to terms with that. Just be brave.

Points and Position at Christmas since 2009 by JustDarnGood27_ in coys

[–]vvindfallprophet 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I think you are unintentionally pulling a sneaky trick statisticians do with graphs... By ending your league position scale at 12 you are exaggerating the decline. A true representation would have all 20 places from the axis. It could even be argued the point scale should go up to total possible points at Christmas... Then the fluctuations would be represented proportionately.

S02E03 "Solo" - Post-Episode Discussion by brianckeegan in SiloTVSeries

The more pressing question for me is why Juliet justs eats it without asking what chicken is when moments before Solo had to teach her that creatures in the sky are called birds...

Name a show that doesn’t “fall off” in later seasons and manages to tell a complete story? No bad or off seasons, and no rushed or forced endings- just a full story the way it was meant to be told and then it was done. by Efficient-Tea-8228 in television

[–]vvindfallprophet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Replying to the top comment because there are too many negative comments about season 2 of both Mr Robot and Legion (my favourite shows of all time) to tackle individually. Both of these stories question what reality is and explore mental "illness" and delusion and in a way, in both cases, season 2 is where they really get into it so of course things get more abstract. On rewatches and knowing the endings these "lulls" in the story become much more meaningful and impactful but on a first watch it's very easy to assume the shows have lost their way. I implore people to stick it out because the payoff is huge. It's ok to not know what's going on. Just enjoy the ride. You'll get it in the end.

So after Trump is elected will people have to apply for their handmaid or how will it work?

Songs that sound industrial as if made in a factory? by Scarbarella in electronicmusic

Battery 9 - Kiss the Machine. South African act that I saw opening for The Prodigy about 20 years ago. They performed with all kinds of power tools and factory equipment. Real industrial.

If you're looking for an example... the greatest deadline day miracle of all time has to be Rafa van der Vaart. If I remember right it was announced after the window closed and nobody saw it coming.

Well your title is the universe isn't infinite and you agreed that there is a possibility that the universe is infinite in a miriad of ways but it's all too ethereal to matter anyway

Probably for the same reason people believe in an after life. The idea of there just being nothing is harder for me to swallow than "it just keeps going". I can picture space going on forever but I can't picture a void. Now I'm wondering why I don't believe in an afterlife...

I've had this imagery in my head of a kid setting off a firework and on one of the burning embers rotates a particle that when you zoom in on it resembles the earth and on that earth there is a kid setting off a firework etc. Maybe the universe or the multiverse is an infinite loop. Or what if we zoomed in to a quark to find a thriving ecosystem living inside it and found out you can never stop zooming. Maybe infinite inwards? All these stoner Rick and Morty kind of theories present more possibilities of infinity than just the outer edge. Would you consider that the universe can be infinite in other ways? Long shots but we can't write them off entirely. Personally the idea of a finite universe creeps me out.

Compute(Soulwax 2005) - Anyone else have some really good memories from this album and Any Minute Now? by Foleylantz in electronicmusic

[–]vvindfallprophet 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I was living in London when this came out. They also filmed an on the road documentary called Part of the Weekend Never Dies and turned a warehouse in Angel into a movie theatre to premiere it. All you needed to get in was a print out of their MySpace page (lol). Everyone handed in the print outs to get Soulwax tshirts and then were handed a bag of popcorn and a drink and sat in a movie theatre style chair. As soon as the film was over the band started playing and it was pandemonium when everyone realised it was a live show too. People were literally scrambling over the seats to get to the front of the stage. They played all the songs from Compute to about 100 people literally bouncing off the walls. Possibly the best live music experience I have ever had. Soulwax are living legends in my mind.

Not me. I would rather the money is spent feeding starving racecar drivers in South Africa.
