  • I was visiting Seattle in 2019 with family and had the misfortune of flying in a Boeing for a transit flight within AmeriKKKa like 2 months after a Boeing crashed in Ethiopia. Suddenly the seats felt considerably tighter and the lights were constantly flickering off. At a point they turned off completely - was it Boeing’s amazing safety record or the pilots being cool because it was a night flight and there was some sweet views of nighttime city lights to take pictures of.

    On my return back to South Africa, the plane also banked like what I presume is like 40-45 degrees to the right on some occasions, not long after taking off from Seattle. Also a Boeing BTW. I swear I was thinking like “please don’t 9/11 into Mt. Rainier”.

    I also tell people to choose a flight that uses Airbus, lol.













  • No idea what the brand of computer it was, but it was beige and had Windows NT on it, complete with one of those legendary loud mechanical keyboards and … the big beige ViewSonic CRT with the 3 birbs logo. It was a computer for work that my pops got some years after the Apartheid ended and there were also loads of 90s PC gaming goodness - SimCity 2000, Transport Tycoon Deluxe, Duke Nukem 3D, Blood, XCom Enemy Unknown and Apoccalypse, Jagged Alliance 2, etc. No internet or graphics to speak of, so no way in hell this computer was going to run Half-Life 1, Unreal Tournament or even Quake.

    Oh and good old MS Paint.

    Though at times I did get to go to my pops’ workplace and experience the Internet and all these Flash games.
