Met a guy at the bar when ordering drinks, lovely fella, great bit of chat, returned to my ashen faced friends who informed me I'd been joking with Robert Plant - glanced out of the window at the great big, fuck off tour poster of him.

@DawieScholtz This is the one where there is a mountain of rubbish opposite the poling station?

[Gordon Pringle @GordonMPringle]

@Jonathan_Witt He needs base stations here, thats why its a big issue for him.

The person who eagerly signed the Nordstream 2 agreement with Russia a year *after* the forcible annexation of Crimea in 2014 and the shootdown of MH17 by Russia, killing 298 people, ought to have the decency to shut up already.

She has no moral or political authority to speak

@jacob_maroga How does density matter? And anyway they replaced with high density Russian gas

A tiny Karoo town is about to become South Africa’s next billion-rand export story.
Prieska.
Population ~14,000.
The middle of nowhere.
In the 90s, the IDC poured R130 million into pistachios there.
Climate was perfect.
Vision was huge.
By 2011 they called it a failure, sold the equipment, and walked away.
Two farmers refused to quit.
The Mullers spent 15 brutal years mastering what institutions couldn’t: pollination, varieties, processing. They built Karoo Pistachios and the Desert Emerald brand.
Last year: 20 tons.
Next decade target: 60,000 tons.
South Africa now chasing 5-8% of the global market. Selling at R613/kg, and rising fast as Iran stumbles.
Lesson for every deep-pocketed investor:
The biggest opportunities aren’t where capital flows. They’re where capital gave up.
Conviction beats committees.
Every.
Single.
Time.
The Mullers didn’t invent pistachios.
They just refused to bury a dream everyone else abandoned.

@Noahpinion Both my grandparents on my mothers side lost their young mothers. They grew up in poverty as a result.

@Ianseafgrond @KanthanPillay Wind farms "pay back" their embodied carbon very quickly — typically in 3–9 months of operation The remaining 19–25+ years generate effectively zero-carbon electricity. Over a lifetime, a wind farm avoids 20–50+ times more CO₂e than it emits by displacing fossil fuel generation

@mbalimcdust @ferialhaffajee @News24 These are just locations 20km from existing citiesvl for a population that is no longer growing.

@Poplak Solar at scale would also be a commodity. Smelters would come buy it. Maybe just moves a bit slower

wait until the english speakers find out about our other iconic phrases like
"dressed like a rat for the grand sewer opening"
"free is a fair price"
"for free even vinegar is sweet"
"looks like shit, and tastes even better"
"place where dogs bark with their asses"

This is one of the greatest visual gags in history. The way Emu quickly glances to the side to check no one's looking before grabbing Hull's neck and chucking him in the freezer. And the somersault at such a tight angle. A visual gag artist at his absolute peak, sensational.
