I was hoping for a quiet weekend
Eskom Hld SOC Ltd@Eskom_SA
#PowerAlert1 Eskom implements Stage 3 loadshedding from 14:00 today and anticipates to be in this mode until Monday at 05:00, following 98% availability of power supply, due to loss of 2700MW over the past 14 hours. To replenish emergency reserves over the weekend – ongoing high levels of planned maintenance continue.

LinkedIn is a goldmine
But most are clueless on how to get clients on it
So I made a free Notion roadmap on how I scaled my client to $27,000+ a month with LinkedIn DMs
Want it?
1 - Follow my account
2 - Comment “roadmap”
I’ll auto-DM it to you for free

My projection also covered four more parties for those interested:
FF+ 1.5%
ActionSA 1%
RISE 0.4%
BOSA 0.3%
Dawie Scholtz@DawieScholtz
1/ News24 Projection for NATIONAL BALLOT: ANC 42.3% (-15.2) DA 21.8% (+1) MK 13.6% (+13.6) EFF 9% (-1.8) IFP 3.5% (+0.1) PA 2.2% (+1.2) Extraordinary election! MK the key driving force. Much more detail and analysis to follow. news24.com/news24/politic…

@BigDaddyLiberty Because they are uses to violence getting the job done
English
So SANTACO basically extending #TaxiStrike by two days, whilst they prepare court papers to challenge impounds.
Question on everybody’s lips;
WHY DIDN’T THEY DO THIS FROM THE BEGINNING?
Why did they opt with #TaxiViolence, stoning people & cars, killing #CapeTown folk & cops?
Sandton, South Africa 🇿🇦 English
@LudidiVelani Why no application for interdict a week ago? Surely if impounding was the issue any union worth their salt would have started this process on Thursday. Taxi owners should get rid of these clowns, they are bankrupting them
English
Santaco will continue with the #TaxiStrike which they call a stay away. This is despite initially saying the stay away will last for seven days
Full statement 👇🏾👇🏾
English
@SA_Taxis Why didn’t you launch an interdict a week ago? Perhaps cause you thought the violence will do the job?

This DeLonghi/Nespresso pod machine is on the fritz, been cleaned/decaled, it works but the coffee is gross with any pod (not like a new machine).
👉 Does anyone have a recommendation for an automatic bean to cup machine which will be used for an average of 4 cups a day ?

Ever wondered how the results of a listed company could inspire you with startup ideas? Well, we did just that in the latest episode of How Would You Build It? Dischem recently released their results for 2023, and we found some really cool ideas from their results.

@renierkriel This is not correct.
In fact all solar installers will factor in weather patterns to your installation and actually advise on what can be done to mitigate low production seasons.
The days of solar conspiracies are gone, the tech works and there are numerous examples of this.
English
Want to add an average of 40,000MW in the shortest possible time?
Mandate every new home to install between 5 to 10KW battery and solar systems. These installations should be tax deductible and grid connected.
It nullifies the cost new investments and improves supply.
English
@femolevsky Yes i know. But thats 3kWh x 8 hours = 24 kWh
Mine did 2 kWh for the entire day!
Installation sound, but it was cloudy/heavy rain on the said day.
My point is, solar is impacted way more by weather than those with the pro-solar agenda like to admit.
English
@renierkriel So there are few issues that can lead to this.
1. Efficiency of the panel.
2. Cloud cover/Season
3. Direction of installation.
4. Obstructions such as trees, other buildings etc.
15 x 500watts = 7.5kW, multiply by efficiency (0.4 avg) = 3kW.

@femolevsky Its in cape town
Summer i get 40. Difference is too big to make this reliable
English
@renierkriel Never said it was.
You need to add location to your post and context with weather patterns.

@pkshyne @rogernort It seems like Zoom been getting worse since covid while others getting better
English
@rogernort Agreed. I can’t imagine that this is too difficult to solve - probably low down in priority. Perhaps they should make it a paid feature so that they move it up the priority list. But that would be borderline immoral…

Whats with the massive delay of being able to let people into a Zoom call from the waiting room? It takes are least 2 mins with them in the room and me on the call before I get the notification to let them in...
