   MobileSheets(1) gets an endorsement from me, if that counts for something. It's imo the best app for managing sheet music for performances. I sing in 4 choirs, and its a godsend so that I don't need to juggle a bunch of binders. I

   I legit did not know helium was intended for communication. I thought it was a way to mine crypto via the airwaves or something. The OP's idea is an improvement: if you have to use crypto, then the only way a token is generated is wh

   Ireland is small, you basically have Curry's or DID to choose from as a retail vendor. Just go on their websites and find a cheap model without smarts. The more expensive models don't wash any cleaner I reckon and it's often

   Yes but the point of the poster is the framing of the conversation. There is no labour shortage, there is a salary shortage. And we, as the collective global community of serfs and plebes must realize this, and call it for what it is. There

   I've only really been exposed to French in music, where I've sung various French pieces of the years. But from my experience, at least French is consistent? As-written is as-pronounced. Is this not really the case, and therefore i

   Irish Prez is also in that list, also current and former British PMs and other world leaders. So I don't think its anything specifically related to SA going on here.

    Some countries have labour laws you know. Where I'm from, if I start a new job that bait-and-switched me into working one hour more than 40/week they will get into a lot of trouble. I'm not saying overtime is not allowed, but

    A renowned South African university, UNISA, has done remote learning for decades. Students had to mail in their work every month, and they would set up exam centres all over the country where students can take their tests. This is not an un

    The first 4 or 5 pickups in that infographic is the Toyota Land Cruiser, not the Hilux. Although this infographic is pretty funny, it's not accurate I'm afraid. They still make the Land Cruiser more or less in that shape and confi

    I guess it's a way to keep the weirdos out. Some might be willing to pay that money just for the opportunity to be surrounded by likeminded individuals.
