My preferred lean as a Tshwane coalition solution? A simple DA-ANC arrangement, with a few simple agreements, safeguards and carrots as main building blocks. It keeps the GNU theme going, and prevents the volatile, unstable DA-ActionSA coalition from being necessary. It has a lot wrong with it, but it's the least wrong option after ActionSA's expressed decisions and demands these last few hours. It's of course not the only permutation, and until recently I called for a DA-ActionSA collaboration, but I'm no longer convinced that these parties are ready for the political maturity and skill that such a marriage would demand

You haven’t had popcorn until you’ve had Amish Country popcorn. This converted our kids from microwave to stovetop popcorn overnight.

The age of agents is going to be amazing for most programmers, but it'll be hard times for the cantankerous ones. Specialized knowledge and rare skills will no longer offer immunity for those who are a pain to work with. Best learn some basic people skills.

A plane crashes in Florida, lives are lost, and within HOURS the blue-checkmark crowd is blaming a female pilot and screaming “DEI.” Here's the problem: They don't understand how a two-pilot cockpit works. As a pilot, I'm disgusted. Watch this before you embarrass yourself.

Some great photos have been released of a SAAF Rooivalk at the Dragon Peaks Park camp in the Drakensberg, for the first time in quite a few years. The camp, in which crews train in high-altitude mountain conditions, featured 3 A109s, an Oryx & BK117 in addition to the Rooivalk.

Consider this in the context of the state of SA's State Information Technology Agency (SITA) and the thousands of security flaws found in websites it administers. No wonder it has remained silent on a threat that governments around the world are scrambling to contain groundup.org.za/article/sita…
The state says its computer systems are secure. We looked. They’re not

SITA’s internet services have more than 5,000 security flaws (part 1 of 4)
