A thinker. Non-conformist. Sometimes opinionated. Often play devil's advocate to encourage debate. Should not be taken too seriously.

1. Checked registration, even though I haven't moved in 14 years.
2. Was told to reregister because of boundary changes.
3. Filled in the online form, added photo of my ID.
4. Few hours later, received SMS of successful registration.

Easy-peezy.

@bushlaboy @GarethCliff "One time"?? Nope! Six times. Yet his sycophants still delude themselves that he's a good businessman.

He's busy accelerating the bankruptcy of the US at the moment

@mattvanswol Have you read the 14th Amendment? If so, why is that such a surprise?

They're just confirmed what an ordinary person with a modicum of common sense would have easily understoodd. This didn't even need to go to the Supreme Court, its so obvious.

@bankertobuilder Traffic circles have been proven to be safer, and more efficient than 4-way stops and traffic lights.

Safer: People slow down and look more carefully.

More efficient: Slower vehicles have a naturally closer distance resulting in more vehicles through the intersection per minute

@LivingTricks_ You would never do it the "USA" way unless there are variables involved. If there are known constants, you would always do it the "Japanese" way.

@FNBSA Why do I keep torturing myself thinking that your Secure Chat will be a good experence. Used it for the fourth time now, and STILL a 0/5 experience. Please, abandon the project.

@onlyskypace If the square-root of x is 5, then x is 25

@Monica55dzrh Its a nice-looking, high-quality fence. If you weren't asked to pay for a portion of it, you got a very good deal. The privacy and security it gives to your property has very likely increased your property value. I don't understand why you're complaining.

[Robert Escott @RobertSEscott]

@RefilweSeboko I agree. If you ever want to do this too, PLEASE!, use a string or something so they're in line with each other. This works heavily on my OCD. 😅

@tedcruz Wow! You're lucky its so cheap.

Here, in South Africa, we're paying the eqivalent of $6.16 per gallon. (R26.63/litre at conversion of R16.36/$)

@sadmethod While taxi drivers have little disregard for road rules, my personal opinion is that they're not the most dangerous drivers on the road. I think that status belongs to the towtruck drivers, especially when they're racing towards a collision site.

@CrazyFenaker @sirDukeDevin You're being very naïve. Trust, once lost, takes a very long time to get back. At this point, the USA is seen as an unreliable trading partner, a country that's not afraid to use its financial dominance as a weapon, and a country that starts wars without reason.

[Robert Escott @RobertSEscott]

@sirDukeDevin Looks like the US is going through its own State Capture period like South Africa did under President Zuma (2009 - 2018). We're still struggling to get his corrupt cronies out of the system so, I'm guessing for the USA, a decade or two at the minimum.

@themankhosi This may be an opinion rating but statistically, Mbeki was the best president. All the most important numbers were going in the right direction, even unemployment hit a low of 22% and was trending lower.

This progress stopped and reversed when Zuma took over
