I've mentioned this before, but McGregor does not get load shedding despite being on the schedule.

And I doubt any minister is hanging out in that small town.

I think Eskom just forgot it existed.

Ran out of stuff so tried the DMT vape again. Sjoe, that is not for everyday use, lol. Funky taste too.

I am relatively happy with our load shedding prep in the house now.
we have a small 200W portable power station to run the home office for a load shedding stint. its enough to manage the screens and charge the laptops if needed.
the lounge, dining room, office and bathroom all have LED bulbs with rechargeable batteries in them.
the little power station can run the TV and the sound bar if needed, but honestly it wont be needed. we would just run a laptop to watch stuff if we wanted to.
is the portable power station the best option? no it has the wrong battery tech and its not going to last more than 2 years at the current load shedding rate, but it was affordable and does the job. we got the magneto ones from game but its good enough for right now

I haven't noticed, but apparently Melkbos hasn't had load shedding for nearly two weeks. Koeberg upgrade? Minister staying in the golf estate?
Can't you check on your system (when the power is supposed to be off) if you are receiving any Eskom power?

The inverter sends me a notification when the grid goes off, haven't had one for nearly two weeks.

The battery bulbs were my best purchase (already had a 20 year old 200W inverter setup). But there is a lot of crap sold for cheap, I opted for these more expensive UK made bulbs:

Did you get beyond the threshold? It's all fun fractal/mandala style hallucinations until you do, and then boom, an entirely different world.

No this isn't concentrated enough but certainly gives you a head feeling for about a minute or two.

Google didn't mention this though ;) Should probably use ChatGPT next time...

About the programme​


Please note​

The roll-out of the free home composting bins will resume later this year. More details will be provided closer to the time.
ChatGPT is connected to the internet now, is it?

I see that you can sign up to try searching for information using an AI-augmented version of Bing, though this does depend on running Windows 11.

Don’t think so, Bing is though. Was really just teasing @Dave that had his typical response without checking if it was true. You know how he is ;)

Got a 0.5g vape months ago to try, but it’s not like cannabis you can consume daily.
