Stuff that happened to you that doesnt deserve a thread

Weird that the courses are on debian based os. Not so popular anymore. Rhel vm ecm is taking over in terms of server based application configuration. Especially with ansible automation and openshift
 
Not to mention containerisation in the agile and devops space
 
I'm the Admin of one of the Neighbourhood Watch Groups in my town. Our task is simply to observe and pass info on to the guys on patrol. Every week there's a new team leader on patrol, and this week's team leader is a new kid on the block. I couldn't see a Whatsapp icon next to his name, so I SMSd him - twice, with no reply. Phoned him - twice, with no reply. The third time he answered. I asked him why I can't pick him up on Whatsapp and he replied that he's not on Whatsapp. He has an old phone which can't connect to the Internet.

The mind boggles. All our Neighbourgood Watch groups rely on Whatsapp to report anything suspicious, but this week's Team Leader isn't on Whatsapp. Seriously? I phoned the Big Chief who's in charge of all operations and he said if there's a problem we can let him know and he'll relay the msg to the patrol. Great. By that time you've been murdered or whatever suspicious person you saw has long gone.

I don't get it either.

One of my colleagues also refuses to sign up to anything related to social media. Whatsapp, facebook, even pinterest. Its not like whatsapp can even be considered social media.

And smartphones are so cheap if you go for the lower range. And then most service providers give you special whatsapp packages thats like R15 a month.
 
Yeah I agree. WhatsApp is by far the most cheapest communication service. Specially for deaf people. Some deaf people rely on video calling to chat, just like normal people call others.
 
Just now - a moment in time when you are ready to do it.

Maybe later is a term I understand that it may be or not be done later, 50% chance of it being procrastination.

Now now as I'm about to walk out the door to do whatever needs to be done.
 
and to answer you directly, right 'f*****g now is a pretty good method.
e-f******g-mediatly is good to.
Saying you want it done 'chop-chop' is a good one if you don't want to fully exercise your vocabulary.
Chop-chop not "sharp-sharp" like people say at the end of a conversation

here a brain strainer (sorry, this excludes @Stosta and @Christos - sacrifices have to made unfortunantly)
'Maybe' and 'Maybe not' technically mean the same thing.
 
I was confused so google gave me this -

If I do mean "right now" in literal terms not south African terms what do I say

@Faiyaz Cheulkar It's quite true that we South Africans have our own vocab and foreigners, with whom I used to work, never understood what I meant by "now now". But I don't agree with everything that article says. If someone says that they'll do it "now" or "right now" I understand that to mean 'immediately' and I use it in that way.

I was giving directions to a foreigner one day and I told her to turn right at the robot. "You have robots here??" she exclaimed with astonishment.

Yeah their version is different to ours.
 
Nothing gets the weekend fun started like a burst pipe and some emergency plumming before eight on a Saturday morning!

I had about 3 burst pipes in succession. As soon as the ceiling was replaced on one, the whole ceiling came crashing down, another pipe burts.

I ended up replacing all my pipes in the roof with copper as the galvanised pipes were about 50 years old.
My only concern is I haven't replaced the galvanised pipes in the walls yet but that's more of a when it happens I think.

We allways went with Huggins for day and Pampers at night. Don’t know if it is still like that but we never ever had a leak on the Pampers, some of those things weighed a ton in the morning, but never a leak and never a wet bum even with that. They were expensive but I feel it was worth it. Good luck bud, in the long run it’s worth it.

We use pampers for our 2 year old (will be 3 at the end of this month) he weighs 12 kg but my wife buys size 5 which is meant for babies weighing 14-18kgs. Never had any leaking issues.
