Don’t Assume My Topic Thread

Just another day in our World Class African City Country.

Due to the failure of seven generation units in the last 24 hours, higher stages of loadshedding will be required over the next few days.

DAFUQ!!!

11 hours?! on stage 6? We just get 4.

Edit: Oh wait, that’s not the off-time, just the scheduled stage times. #mybad

Yeah, you did misread that notice, but… if it was fully Stage 6 tomorrow, we would actually have 11.5 hours of loadshedding here:

I only realised today that there is a long weekend, and a proper one!

Also, where did Monday go?

I need to find an affordable and competent barber around here. Paying >R160 is daylight robbery unless that is the going rate nowadays.

@Beo as far as I know that is the norm these days

I figured. I guess I’m just still expecting Margate rates where it could have been anywhere from R60-R100.

That’s one advantage of being bald. I just shave it myself.

While I don’t have any balding, I do still shave it myself with the Wahl hair clippers. But even just to shave your head, a minute job, they still charge the same.

If you were in this area I could help. We’ve got a barber down the road who charges R60 a haircut. Cheapest one around.

That seems very reasonable and affordable.

R160 is really not expensive at all. An appointment takes, what, 15 minutes on average?That allows them to generate at most R640 per hour. Considering rent, electricity, water and consumables, they’ll be lucky to walk away with half of that. If they have half a day’s worth of appointments, allows them to generate around R1280 per day.

Well, now you’re just making me feel bad if you put it into perspective.

I should start cutting hair.

I don’t think the streams would be that entertaining plus having to get consent from all your patrons, sheesh, what a logistical nightmare.

I don’t think you understand how bad the haircuts would be!
