I walked barefoot most of my childhood. Even at school until end of St9 (Grade 11). Only in matric did I wear shoes as it was mandatory. Outside of school and church, you'd never see me with shoes on unless it was a public function where I had to dress nicely so other people can think good of me. I hated shoes and actually still do. At home, I'm still barefoot....lol. It's the "boertjie" in me that just won't quit.

In winter, of course, I had to wear shoes with long trousers or my mom would murder me. Had no choice.
I still don't wear shoes. Because of my age it's become a "thing" I'm known for hehe.

Well can't find anything on Netflix I feel like watching, spose I'm going to have to Re watch a bit of Henry Cavill in the Witcher. What a hardship...

Why don't you watch what @M.Adhir is watching above. Looks like a rerun of the prez's Sunday night speech. Lots of gas and hot air.

Don't laugh, that's what I'm having tonight, was alcohol I made last time booze was banned. I am a DIY mixer so I made basic sugar alcohol flavored with flavors I don't like to smoke hehe. It's yummy. My bank account finds it delicious too!! Screenshot_20200713_215920.jpg
 
So essentially I'm snipping threads, sipping on berry bubblegum spirit coolers, smoking the best damn vape juice I've ever had, watching Henry Cavill slay some monsters. Life is very hard :D :D :D
 
HOLY CRAP! Whats going on in Gauteng!

Regards
I can tell you,

People walking without masks
Taxis 100% loaded and no windows open
People standing in groups
People sharing smokes
People thinking this is a joke
Etc,etc

Tons of tiny informal churches in small badly ventilated spaces like abandoned warehouses.
Loads of people living on top of each other in badly ventilated hijacked buildings.
I had to insist that the plumber use a mask and his workers, so it's not just the rowdy poor people who aren't using them.
As the other guy said people hanging around in groups on top of each, lots of parties and get-togethers, I had a bunch of people at the end of my road drinking and going on, my neighbour called the cops, and the one guy crashed in to a rock by my drive way.

Don't smoke the juice. Rather vape it. :p
 
If you really want alcohol just move to the townships where everything is available. The ban affects only a certain segment of society.
 
The curfew is going to make people resent everything

If they ban alcohol then the curfew is probably not all that necessary.

Tough times ahead with COVID - wear your mask and keep your distance.

I don't think people are too concerned about the curfew, but the ban on alcohol has certainly created fury - once again.

Hope the rock wasn't damaged!

That pic looks like you ripped off all your clothes and then did something weird with your pubic hair. Homemade alcohol you say ?
 
Tomorrow is D-Day for the government to align lockdown regulations with constitutional court order, LFN vs Government.
Hopefully 15th July will see the vape shops open again.

Ryno de Beer part 2 vid from 11th July.
Yeah no vape shops will not be opening. As the man says do the owners have the guts to open up. Nope. And Tuesday is basically over so nothing changed as this guy expected.

Vape shops and people entering the vape space as small business owners should have been aware from the get go it was always going to become a bootleggers market due to the prohibition times we're entering. Covid just accelerated it.

Sucks to have all your eggs in the vape game now.

I'm ******* disgusted by it but sadly everyone walked around laughing off the guavament saying they're so slow and useless it'll take years to get any type of regulations going.

It happened and we are powerless to stop it because middle class South Africans are a self seeking lazy bunch and as my American girlfriend observed, South Africa is very much every man for himself and **** your neighbour.

That type of mentality will get us nowhere which is exactly where we are.
There are some people in this industry I can't say I'm sad it's happening to them. To the good ones I'm sorry it came to this.

And to the usual crowd of wankers that don't like my style disagree away I don't care y'all are done anyways.

Medicago launched in 1999 out of a partnership between Canada’s agriculture department and Laval University. After focusing on the tobacco-adjacent plant, Medicago went public in 2006. In 2009 it began using the technology to develop a shot to counter the H1N1 pandemic. In 2013, Medicago was taken private by Mitsubishi Tanabe Pharma and Philip Morris.

Medicago is not alone in pursuing a plant-based approach to the novel coronavirus. Cigarette maker British American Tobacco Plc has been working on a similar vaccine through its biotech subsidiary Kentucky BioProcessing.
