The biggest problem about social media, specifically Instagram is that it causes people to compare themselves and flaunt their lifestyles. I'll admit I've felt a bit jealous in the past when looking at ex colleagues who've managed to land themselves nice jobs abroad with relatively little work...

Interesting article on this topic. While I don't think the amount of couples that meet online in SA is as high as in the US, it is definitely higher than we think and chances are that we all (especially from middle-class households) know someone from our circles who met online. They usually just...

True, I have the utmost respect for her. The one great thing about her as well is that she has caused the toxic segments of the SA expat community in NZ to be uncomfortable.

It just annoys me because it can be time consuming to listen to. I don't mind it once or twice but some people literally send voice notes to every message which is a pet peeve of mine. There are also some people who are loose cannons and don't stop talking so they give a lot of irrelevant info...

People who respond to every message on WhatsApp with a voice note.

People who always ask for favours.

As you can see, I've had bad luck again and this is a refurb I bought three months ago. Not a major issue but it just annoys me and sometimes makes a cracking noise. The residue you see there is just the fragments of a rubber compound that I put there to remove the cracking sound but is there...

I do a few freelance gigs but am looking for a more permanent gig now.

I suddenly had some interest from two companies locally about three weeks ago and have not heard from any since. I'm open to a new challenge at this point, even in another city in SA as long as the offer is good. I'm not intern level now. Once did invite me for a test after the interview but...

I finally got the powerbank with all components. It includes various adapters for laptops but unfortunately does not have the one I need.. (Dell Big Pin). Does anyone know where I can get this adapter from independently?

I remember trying Grand Turismo and Formula 1. If I remember the cars are extremely hard. I was only able to win races with the C-class.

I just ordered a third one now from Takealot after returning the other two. I hope they send me the right item with all the contents this time. You mentioned that it charges your laptop? How long does it take?

I ordered that exact one from Takealot last week and it included everything bar the power adapters for the laptop so I returned it. I then ordered another one from another seller which was advertised as the one above but when received a different brand (it did not have the power adapters and...
