  • No idea what the brand of computer it was, but it was beige and had Windows NT on it, complete with one of those legendary loud mechanical keyboards and … the big beige ViewSonic CRT with the 3 birbs logo. It was a computer for work that my pops got some years after the Apartheid ended and there were also loads of 90s PC gaming goodness - SimCity 2000, Transport Tycoon Deluxe, Duke Nukem 3D, Blood, XCom Enemy Unknown and Apoccalypse, Jagged Alliance 2, etc. No internet or graphics to speak of, so no way in hell this computer was going to run Half-Life 1, Unreal Tournament or even Quake.

    Oh and good old MS Paint.

    Though at times I did get to go to my pops’ workplace and experience the Internet and all these Flash games.

    I think it’s right that this kind of motion should be voted down, the good guy tactic will reduce population casualties in the short term, but in the long term, uMkontho we Sizwe will do more harm, so it’s right to have an eye for an eye tactic. But the focus should be on how to eliminate uMkontho we Sizwe while protecting as many civilians as possible, rather than a truce to give uMkontho we Sizwe a break.

  • €15,000 transferred right now.

    Enough to leave eu-cool back to South Africa for good since quality of life and the political landscape is worsening to the extent where I might even be in some degree of danger. Also work hasn’t allowed me to leave for the Friday prayer, so there’s that. I do get paid on Monday so after bills that leaves me with a little over €5,000 saved. The extra money would pay for the flight, buying a 1BR apartment outright with maybe spending a few grand on renovations and living expenses would be covered for at least 3 years, leeway to find an income.

    I suppose the silver lining is that I am able to add an extra €400 a month to my savings, so this goal is at least materializing albeit slower than I’d like.
