Will you be printing a 3d solid version of a blow up doll?!?

 

[satanboy]

Gonna require a vat of lube.

Yeah, coz he would need to be well lubed all over.

Nope, don't need one of those

 

[Sonikku]

Still 5 hours to go...

 

[Sonikku]

The parts highlighted in green have already been printed, so that was from early this morning until now

 

[Venomous]

Nope, don't need one of those

LoL

 

[Sonikku]

Bit of a stuff up- the slicing software was way too aggressive.. lesson learnt
Anyway...

Might be buying a house tomorrow if our offer is accepted…

This will reduce my debt by 75%, so rather than paying for another nearly 20 years I'll be done in 3 years.

That will definitely help

It's been a year of realism. Turning 55 and have no savings. Living in a nice house that we've paid half of but new bond is 20 years. So I'll be 75 when it's paid off? With no savings! No fuck that shit this isn't working. Move to a decent but affordable place, reduce debt dramatically, start saving.

I don't even know if I'll make it to 75, not even considering the working until then. Christ.

It's all a matter of perspective. Define a good lifestyle - your definition will differ from the next person. Same goes for "what is important".
Many people throw their future away because of the way they live right now, to the brim of their means or above their means. Not all Fortuner drivers can actually afford the Fortuner...you get what I mean?
Be sensible

So only Afrikaans speakers did military service. Got it.

I believed the rumours about the treatment of English-speaking people in the army.

I have some savings. Probably a laughable amount to most people here, but still savings, strictly speaking. It started a few years ago when I started to stuff my mattress with money set aside some of my salary [and bonuses when we still got them].

Then again, I haven't had to worry about things like buying/renting accommodation, buying and maintaining a vehicle, buying food, paying rates, or entertaining friends. I used to splurge more on toys regularly, but now hardly ever and then only when my Strict Voice allows it.

I didn't notice any difference in treatment. We were all treated like the lowest form of garbage.
