  1. More details on this please Wayne. PM if you're more comfortable.
  2. My last few meals out my GF (yes, a long story for another thread...) and I ordered veggie pasta meals. Not to try and avoid meat or anything, but because they were full of all the food we love like olives, artichokes, sundried tomato, rocket, etc. Was packed full of flavour and I certainly didn't feel like I'd missed out on anything by not including meat. We're going to try a few more at home now, so that veg chilli recipe[e above will come in handy.
  3. Correct. You can move R1 mil out per calendar year as part of your discretionary allowance with minimal admin. You can move a further R10 mil per calendar year, with SARB approval. I use exchange4free and they monitor my annual limits for me, and also apply for SARB approvals for the foreign investment allowance. Very handy service.
  4. A very relevant article I received recently https://sanlamprivatewealth.sanlam.com/resources/fiduciary-tax/leaving-sa-what-happens-to-your-estate-plan/
  5. Post No. 15 in this very thread discussed the China Study, and why you shouldn't take it too seriously.
  6. Don't rely on the shipping company to clean your bikes, rather do it yourself and pack them yourself. When cleaning focus on area under the fork crown and in the headtube. They white glove test that on every bike that comes through I used Execumove, to Australia, and they were really good. PM me if you need a contact person there.
  7. It forms a large part of their diet, and without the science most of them would suffer from significant malnutrition.
  8. Yeah, there is. Ever heard of the Banana21 project? There's many just like that that allow people to live where in the past they would have starved.
  9. The same thing happened to a friend of mine in Edenvale, Gauteng after he shot an intruder climbing through his bedroom window one night. The guy concocted a story about how he, the innocent black man, was just walking past the house when the angry white man shot him and dragged him into the yard. The cops were only interested in the racial side of the story and he spent a few nights in lockup before lawyers got involved and got him out. It got worse though, because he sued the cops that arrested him. Life got very tricky for him and his family and he ended up having to leave the country and move to the UK. SAPS and Metro cops are thugs par none!
  10. Do some reading on just the fundamentals, and you'll understand. The majority of crops grown for animal feed are not fit for human consumption. Nevermind the fact that animal manure is essential to maintaining soil quality in production farming. No animals? You'll get 2, maybe 3 seasons of crops from land before it's buggered. Unless you plan to use chemical fertilisers to sustain it? Oh, no, can't do that, it's not 'organic' lol. What about the vast areas of the world where crops cannot be grown due to water availability, soil quality or altitude? You going to send them all their food or just let them starve?
  11. FFS, please go read the facts before regurgitating this drivel.

    Haval

    Other than a JV with GWM to build electric vehicles in China, BMW has no involvement with Haval at any level.
  13. In that price range I'd look at Spyderco's sub-brand, Byrd. Great quality and steel, reasonable prices. I've had a Byrd Raven for many years and it's a good quality knife. Good edc size.
  14. Did someone send you the eggplant emoji too many times, Patch?
  15. All Delivered with the same zeal and blinkered view as most religions. Pure coincidence, of course...
  16. Who is this ‘we’ you constantly reference? And who made these rules up?
  17. Morality, which stems from the 10 commandments? Which is the supposed foundation of religion? To be honest this is starting to sound very much like another religion, based on morals you subscribe to.
  18. Poor example. Law and morals are very different topics. There is a law against killing people, otherwise a lot more people would do it, I can assure you. Eating animals is a moral choice (that the VAST majority of humans have no problem with).
  19. Yeah I'll take Stahwille screwdrivers over any other brand. They are just brilliant. I have a few King Tony socket sets and they are also great quality.
  20. As a vegan, if you fail to take B12 supplements, you will die from B12 deficiency as your diet does not provide it. That's a fact. It's also the reason why there were no vegans around a century ago, or if there were they weren't around for very long. You make many references comparing an exclusionary vegan diet to a "traditional omnivorous diet". It's quite obvious that the majority of the studies have used the average American diet as a basis of comparison, which gives very misleading results IMO. Anything is better than eating an average American diet, I think we all agree on that. Studies involving a properly balanced diet versus a vegan diet yield far less spectacular differences, but that doesn't make for very good campaigning material. Although I suspect you're well aware of that anyway... I eat a balanced whole food diet, including meat. I take no supplementation at all - I don't need to because my diet provides me with everything my body requires. I know this for a fact because I have regular bloodwork done.
  21. I have one of these. Not Parktool though, it's a pin holder i stole from the ex's sewing room. Invaluable!
  22. Partially correct, however UV (sunlight) is the main destroyer of chlorine in swimming pools, causing chlorine to breakdown into hypocholrites(sp?) and return to the atmosphere as gas. Summer results in longer sunlight exposure and thus faster chlorine breakdown. If your pool water is not stabilised, direct sunlight will destroy the majority of available chlorine (over 90%) in the water within a few hours.
  23. Is that an ancient word for a 3 way?
  24. Which one is the vegan? Jokes aside, 25+ years ago when I attended a private school in joburg, the same thing used to happen. I can recall more than 1 occasion when someone bought their dad's gun to school in a bid to be 'cool'. It's nothing new.
  25. Precisely. Any time you use suncream, soap, medication, and a whole list of products, you contribute to this indirectly. It doesn't make the treatment of these animals alright, but from a scientific point of view, there are many, many important products us humans wouldn't have if it weren't for animal testing. They unfortunately play a vital role in research science.
