@Jonathan_Witt Moved to a new province 3 days prior to the lockdown announcement. Lost all of my savings, had to sell half of my pension. In September 2020 I had to sell some of my possessions to pay for petrol en bread. Sometimes I didn’t have airtime to phone home. It wrecked us.

@RamaphiriMpho @Our_DA It costs less than R1 to place you rubbish in a refuse bag to be put aside and to be picked up.

Germany charges €0.25 on most single-use drink bottles and cans (0.1–3 L PET and metal).

Return rates for those containers are reported at about 98%, among the highest deposit schemes in the world.

@DanielvsBabylon I grew up with two gay younger brothers. They were not “choosing a lifestyle.” One of them died by suicide. I am a believer though, and I still believe the way faith was used around them did more harm than good... to me as well, and to us as a family, unfortunately..

Los incidentes con los power-bank o cargadores portátiles son cada vez más frecuentes. El fuego o humo en cabina, son de los incidentes más serios a bordo.
Las recomendaciones para el transporte de bancos de energía (power banks) son las siguientes:
- Cantidad y potencia: Se permite un máximo de 1 banco de energía por pasajero, con una potencia máxima de 100 Wh.
- Ubicación en el avión: Deben llevarse exclusivamente en el equipaje de mano (dentro del artículo personal) y colocarse debajo del asiento delantero o en su bolsillo.
- Protección: Sus circuitos deben estar protegidos de forma individual, ya sea manteniendo su embalaje original o aislando los bornes con cinta adhesiva.

Tell me why it isn’t just a matter of time before one of these things brings down an airliner?

Should there really have to be another serious incident before airlines permanently ban power banks from passenger cabins?

The cabin does not have a dedicated fire-detection system like the cargo holds or lavatories, which are equipped with smoke detectors and fire-suppression systems. Instead, a cabin lithium-ion battery fire largely relies on a “see and act” response: cabin crew must spot the fire, use portable fire extinguishers and then place the affected device in a fire-containment bag.

A power bank fire can escalate rapidly, especially if the battery enters thermal runaway.

Airlines already prohibit lithium-ion devices in checked baggage because conventional aircraft fire-suppression systems cannot stop a lithium-ion battery fire from restarting. They can help prevent the fire from spreading to surrounding materials, but the battery itself can continue to generate heat and reignite.

That is one of the major challenges with lithium-ion battery fires: standard fire suppression may not be enough to stop the battery from undergoing thermal runaway.

The video footage of the KLM flight Business Class seat, side wall and window area that was subjected to the power bank catching fire suggests it was appropriate for the emergency return for the safety of the flight.

[Francisco Cunha - ✈️ Aviation et al @OnDisasters]

A KLM flight from Amsterdam to Curaçao was forced to turn around over the Atlantic on Thursday after a power bank fire.

The power bank was being used by KLM´s former CEO and President, Mr. Camiel Eurlings, who was injured in the incident.

"According to a passenger who was sitting close to Eurlings and saw everything happen, the power bank was charging at the moment things went wrong . Power banks are allowed on board KLM flights, but it is not permitted to use or charge them on board."

Incident occurred on a flight from Amsterdam to Curacao. (Flight KL735 operated by a B-777 - Registation "PH-BVP"]

Hennops River, Rabie Avenue Bridge, in Centurion.

This is not a river. It’s a floating landfill with current.

Plastic so thick you can walk on it. Nappies, bottles, tiles, black sludge and raw sewage from failed plants upstream. Volunteers drag out tons. It fills back up the next week. Because the ANC treats a living waterway like a toilet they never empty.

They’ll blame “apartheid spatial planning.” The river didn’t look like this when the pipes still worked. Now E.coli is in the millions, businesses flee Centurion Lake, and Hartbeespoort drinks the leftovers.

This is governance, not weather. Cadres first. Sewage last. White ratepayers still fund the circus that can’t keep plastic from burying a river in Gauteng.

Let them smell it.

@goddek Different view... Hectares of natural habitat destroyed unfortunately too.... For human consumption, for some fruit that would probably never be eaten, or juiced into a plastic bottle that would eventually end up in the next to a scenic road, river or ocean....

This isn't in the trial phase.

The entire China International Consumer Products Expo in Hainan, recently, used only these materials for signage, food containers, and more.

This is getting scaled for mass use.

South Africa 15 years ago vs today:

[Rory Duncan @RoryDuncan1966]

In the late 1970s and 80s, Mozambique was swapping military equipment with Russia and paying for it with natural resources. They allowed the Russians to dragnet the Mozambique channel, which emptied the seas and caused immeasurable damage for decades to come.

What makes the story worse is that the Russians were sending them giant V10 petrol powered trucks, which they couldn't run, Mig fighter jets and MiL helicopters. None of which was put to effective use.

They also clear felled 10s of 1000s of hectares of Old Growth hardwood forests as part of the deal.

I often wonder if this is happening to this day in South African waters with the 100s of Chinese fishing ships that are constantly harvesting our marine bounty within our waters.

Has our navy been intentionally destroyed in order to allow this to happen without challenge?
