@elonmusk Now please do a viable replacement for youtube.

@alphafox Yes, and about 2 years ago I used a batch script amd xcopy to automate a backup that wouldn't work because the database date wasn't changed.

@popped_blog Maybe its got to do with "management'.

They haven't "managed" to suppress the tenacity of the minorities they dont like and subsequently need the money to go on expensive shopping trips to Europe to feel better.

So really telhe money goes straight back.

@elonmusk is by all reasonable considerations a real life Tony Stark.
Just imagine if something had happened to his parents in alley he would be Bruce Wayne.

@engineers_feed 30+40 then 7x2 +1

More like

3+4 add a 0

For larger numbers over 100 I'd simplify.

Take 2 from the 37 make the 48 > 50 and leave 35 easier to manually add round numbers

@BarneySimon Hector is going to be running three Honda civics with spoon engines, and on top of that, he just went into Harry’s and bought three t66 turbos with nos, and a motec exhaust system.

Late for work is not the important thing here.

@GardeeGodrich How about we try and lock the murders that get away with it, up in the first place.

@ZakesvanTonder Well for a start, SA hasn't given 2 hoots about it before. Why do they care so much all of a sudden.

And if you pay attention the US are upset about posting their citizens documents online, which if im not mistaken is a popi violation and a criminal act itself.

So that...

@hobsonj123 @AdriaanBasson @elonmusk @realDonaldTrump @YouTube Thats the problem, The point is to inflict more pain.
You can't use that to heal it will only cause more divisions.

Minister Lamola,

Your recent remarks toward the Secretary of State were noted.
While disagreement is normal between nations, the tone and dismissiveness you adopted fall short of the professional standards expected in diplomatic exchange.

Your attempt to “correct” the Secretary’s remarks requires a factual response. Respect between nations cannot exist if one side continually rewrites reality to avoid accountability.

First, your Ministry’s statement ignores a fundamental truth:
South Africa’s decline is not a foreign invention. It is the result of policy choices made by your own government. No amount of diplomatic language can conceal the consequences of corruption, racial engineering, and institutional decay. The world is not obligated to pretend otherwise.

Second, you accuse the United States of misrepresentation while refusing to acknowledge what thousands of South Africans live with daily:

collapsing infrastructure,

violent crime at epidemic levels,

systemic discrimination built into government policy,

and a governing party that prioritizes political theater over economic recovery.

These are not “narratives.” They are measurable, undisputed realities.

Third, you speak of “dialogue,” yet your government routinely attacks those who disagree with it, including its own citizens. Genuine dialogue requires honesty something sorely lacking in Pretoria’s recent diplomatic posture.

Fourth, your reference to multilateralism rings hollow. South Africa’s G20 presidency was not defined by cooperation, but by obstruction, ideological grandstanding, and an eagerness to antagonize partners whose development contributions have long supported your institutions.

Respect in diplomacy is earned, not assumed.

Finally, the United States’ decision regarding G20 participation is grounded in conduct, not sentiment.
A government that undermines consensus, enables hostility toward partners, and refuses to confront its own failures cannot demand a seat at a global economic table it repeatedly disrupts.

Minister, disagreement is expected in international relations.
But denial, deflection, and political theatre do not replace the responsibility of governing.

The United States remains committed to the people of South Africa
but will not legitimize a government that refuses to take responsibility for the consequences of its own policies.

In my complex there's around 20% of the tenants that don't pay their levies. Because we can't legally cut their electricity or water. The rest of the tenants need to pay a special levy to keep from falling behind with eskom.
We are paying R500 pm extra to cover the people not paying.

How is that fair?

Complexes need to be able to enforce restrictions on non paying tenants.

@News24 @SithandiweVelap Good, and as for people saying it denying access to their homes. They can sign in like guests. Why should they get it for free.

[AlsoMike @AlsoMike_ZA]

@bourboncowboy @daneelwiggins @EndWokeness @grok 🙈 not really the point. For most normal people carrying your ID is just something in your wallet anyway.
