the regulars: sacrificed at the cost altar or...?

have you seen any of their other work to give you some confidence they are capable of the quality of work desired? I'll be very surprised if they do, because frankly, those issues indicate the contractor doesn't have a clue. A finish carpenter worth his or her salt would have scribed those stairs in tight, not applied wood filler,and not to that extent.

Giri Haji - very bingeworthy.

but it was good brainless fun. Probably the same reason i'm strangely enjoying SEAL team. The acting is generally worse than in Shooter, way worse to be honest. But ya. brainless viewing has its' place.

Anyone watching See?

Cyril's move. Will Moody's standby and wait for the game of chicken to play out, or finally call it? the MTBPS is unclear on the details of the rest of south africa's growth. it was very disappointing tbh. I literally dont know how this country is supposed to go forward. But we'll know Friday, if Moody's doesn't pull another bait and switch delay.

Even after all this shittiness has bubbled into the public domain, you have stations and their managers who are still pushing this numbers game at the expense of competence. When oh when, is eskom corporate HR going to be called to account.

i watched the follow-up, Aliens as a barely-teenager at the golden acre in cape town. Loved it. still one of my all-time fave scifis.

Sounds like a lot of insider info, doesn't it? Ouch. Eskom's response is going to be interesting: do they own it, or spin it.

If true, can't determine if that hot mess is as consequence of deliberate circumvention of safety functions to ensure continued operation, or negligence. Either way, it's massively disappointing as it is aggravating.

Playstation 5: patent application matches the leaked images of the development units recently sent out that's a pretty wild design.

oh yes..

errrm, yes and no. some experience has left. not all of it. The guys in abu dhabi (not dubai btw) were either interested in better income and then left, or were sidelined by internal politics, and then got interested in better income, and left as well. [redacted] There are still really good, very technically competent ppl there. But they've been sidelined.

1) nope 2) done 3) not a problem given 2's location.

medupi is seriously flawed, but there are solutions: one is to derate the power station, the other is to replace the pulverizers. the PF quality is not good enough for the boilers height (it's too short). I've always maintained that there are good enough ppl within eskom, but they are being sidelined. The rank incompetence was predominantly at management level, but i'm afraid that over the past few years, that incompetence has started saturating the non-managerial roles as well. Eskom's problems are no different from those of government in that the pervasive incompetence in government is mirrored in Eskom's structures. And like in government, where good ppl are being sidelined and bullied into silence and inaction, so too are the good ones in Eskom. Get those good ppl going again, and I believe Eskom can be pulled straight. But it's not going to happen overnight. I'd say at least 3 -5 years to start seeing greenshoots. the key is getting the culture right,a nd currently, it's extremely toxic.

this is key to appreciate: there's current state nuclear, and future state nuclear. I'm not a supporter for the former. At all. the world should plow money and focus into efforts like that of Mr Gates and the proposed travelling wave reactor. Not all nuclear is the same, and in the hype/rush to save the planet, ppl are falling for the joke that is the current state of nuclear. Renewables can fill the gap.

then you are in for a treat...

wait till nuclear gets put back on the table....

tell us more! been on a fence on whether to watch that or not.

ooo, total rash of goosebumpy trailers. Season 1 was superb. Glad it was renewed.

got me some goosebumps. Hope the show itself is as exciting. https://youtu.be/-33JCGEGzwU Oct 20, 2019.

so what does it take to become a gold medallist athlete, with support that doesn't come from a national body?
