THREAD: I made this with the loadshedding history from ESP .
I wanted to see the actual amount of time we have had no electricity for, not just the time loadshedding is for in general.

Today cut 7000MW from the grid, one of the worst days ever – hasn't bothered to appoint his 'solution', Minister of Electricity, and finance minister is going to make more fake promises in his #BudgetSpeech 🤮

What about the scam of paying you in the first place?

Be vigilant and ensure that you are using Eskom's actual bank account details when paying your Eskom bill.

That's the kinda thing I want to see. Picard enjoying his many hobbies, and seeing old comrades and adversaries doing well for themselves away from him. Using his wealth of years of knowledge and wisdom.
But no. Borg and guns...

Show culminates in Picard helping the Q continuum, because they can't solve an issue without massive, galaxy changing magic hand sweeps.
The problem requires a gentler touch. Some changes require effort and habits, not a snap of fingers.

Q pops in from time to time, shows them what those old cultures looked like, and why they fell. Q and P often clash over their verdicts on the fall of the civ, Q being sardonic and fatalist, P seeing the emotional and human elements for the fall, the fragility of mortal existence

He bumps into his friends, all at the height of their careers now. They discuss the old days and how things have changed. Sometimes Picard helps solve a pickle, but he mostly enjoys the visit before moving on.

I picture Picard in a tiny vessel, flitting from dig site to dig site, having a blast exploring and discussing cultures long forgotten. He has a young aid to help with the more menial stuff, and he has to learn about sharing a bunk and no private quarters.

Picard was the diplomat. The negotiator. The archaeologist that loved to read about old explorers and frontiers. The man who wanted to observe old cultures.

I haven't watched it yet, but I keep thinking about how weird it is that Picard settled down on a farm, and now he has a full crew again?
And people have said he solves problems with firearms too? What?!

I do not like you, Google Docs
I do not like your content blocks

I do not like your “search”—it’s trash

You’re just Notepad, only multiplayer.

This economist couldn't work out anything better than "lol kill yourself", because ultra capitalism is better than having people that are alive... soemhow.

Of course the tourism board is after the whistleblower, not the rampant wasteful spenders that pocket a portion through their side businesses...

All members of the SA Tourism Board who approved this investigation into the #SpursGate whistle-blowers should be declared delinquent and not be allowed to serve on the boards of public and private entities.
Quote Tweet
Dear Themba Khumalo. Whistle-blowing is not "un-South African". Transparency is not "un-South African". Accountability is not "un-South African". What IS un-South African is the blatant looting of the public purse by those who behave with impunity #SATourism #Tottenham twitter.com/bonglez/status…
