@BarronNaledi @Eskom_SA DEAD. FISH. Wasn't that clear?

@DollarVanDave @DimaZeniuk @elonmusk Uh, these rockets crash about 1 in 20. How do you like those odds for your commercial airplane?

@lexfridman ...'if you won’t respect me I won’t respect you' and they mean 'if you won’t treat me like an authority I won’t treat you like a person' and they think they're being fair but they aren’t, and it’s not okay."

@lexfridman "Sometimes people use 'respect' to mean 'treating someone like a person' and sometimes they use 'respect' to mean 'treating someone like an authority' and sometimes people who are used to being treated like an authority say...

@lexfridman Define respect, Lex.

@intuitidbits You're not being honest. Your tweet doesn't match what the research here says.

"We found no significant genetic correlation nor a causal link between RHR and ASB in preliminary analyses using currently available summary statistics."

A rock band is performing and the singer sees a kid with a banner asking to play guitar with them. The singer asks him:

- Do you really know how to play guitar?
- Yeah!
- What's your favorite band?
- Guns N' Roses

What happens next is incredible.

@StellMun Speaking of which (the image): Where can one see the Ida's Valley dam level percentage and other storage numbers online? The provincial and Cape Town websites don't have this information.

Please, for god's sake, give the commentators some media training.

@joannagtweets What SHOULD be commended is her memory – and above all, to deal with such a stressful situation. That is highly impressive.

[Pieter Rautenbach @parautenbach]

@joannagtweets Nonsense, Joanna. You're a journalist clearly not versed in writing about music. You should've said "rehearsed", not "learned". There's nothing amazing for a piano virtuoso playing without sheet music: That's what they do. Nobody gets to that level without that ability.

I'm urgently looking for an #Imbuko #MTB entry for this weekend's #race!

@Ubiquiti I've contacted your support team without a response: Why don't you support something as fundamental as SNMP on the UDR? What could be the limitation? Would I void my warranty if I installed it via SSH?

if i say hamas because they committed the terrorist acts, are even today holding hundreds of hostages and are putting their own civilians at risk does that make it better?

if i say israel because they’ve built up hamas, have far greater military capabilities to inflict damage, and aren’t taking nearly enough care to protect palestinian civilians does that make it better?

it’s a human catastrophe and if you are only focusing on one side of the story you’re missing a piece of your humanity.

[Pieter Rautenbach @parautenbach]

@PhumlaniMMajozi This is not new. This has happened several times before. The real question is how we (civilians) can put on pressure, because there's clearly no sense of accountability. I don't understand how anybody could be surprised by this after 16 years of load shedding.

[Pieter Rautenbach @parautenbach]

How come there hasn't been a lawsuit over this? Do you see it?
