Hello landers with knowledge in electricals, I want to install a changeover switch in my new place by myself and I would like to know if I have the basic connection layout right. Please don't tell me to call an electrician, I could but I want to learn how to do this, I like to tinker and fix things myself so long as i have the right tools. I googled this but came up with a lot of electrical jargon and diagrams I didn't fully understand but i think i have the basic gist. So please just look at the picture below then tell me if I have it right or not. Thanks. 1 Like

Aaronsrod: So God anointed a thieving, lying, racist, fornicating, adulterous fraudster to lead a country you called "God's own country"? Leave God out of human politics, it's blasphemous to throw his name about in this manner. 2 Likes |

Donald Trump is a man who has never had genuine sincerity for Africa. But surprisingly, he is popular in Africa. Here is why Donald Trump is popular in Africa. If there is any president of any powerful country who has made their distaste for Africa open, it is America's president Donald Trump. Since assuming power, he has not set foot in Africa yet, and he is very blunt as regards his disapproval of the whole continent. He infamously referred to African countries as "shithole" countries. It sparked a lot of rage, but he just seemed not to care about the fuss of it all. He once dismissed Nigerians as "hut-dwellers" and once mentioned Namibia as "Nambia." And you know, no African country is called "Nambia". Despite all of this, Donald Trump is very popular in Africa. Donald Trump is more popular in Africa than in any other region, according to a 25-nation survey by Pew, a pollster, as cited by The Economist. The figures clearly show a good rating for Trump from the perspective of Africans. According to the research, some 59% of Nigerians and 56% of Kenyans believe Trump has a positive influence on world affairs. South Africans are not as enthusiastic with Trump. Only 39% express their confidence in Trump, but still, it's 12 percentage points higher than the global median. These are favourable figures for Donald Trump, coming from Africa, despite his apparent dislike for the continent. At any point, Trump is less popular than Barack Obama, whose father was Kenyan. But what makes Africans like a president who shows no regard for them, who throws around derogatory terms whenever he feels like, just to feed his egotistical whims, and who thinks "Nambia" is a country? Ignorance could play a part. Another pollster, Ipso, found that 38% of Kenyans could not name the American president. So, how can you resent someone you have not heard of yet? America's influence in global culture is of immense proportions. Africans like the United States of America. And perhaps, this could explain why some Africans are fond of Donald Trump. Nigerians, Kenyans and South Africans are twice as likely to hold pro-American views as the average German. Africans like all things American. "Black Panther" is trending in Africa. Hip-Hop is also trendy in Africa. Talk about fast-food joints too. But then again, is this only the reason why Africans are willing to tolerate Trump, and to like him? Here's what Trevor Noah, a South African comedian, said in 2015, "As an African, there’s just something familiar about Trump that makes me feel at home." So somewhere in there, Africans resonate with Trump's character and behaviour, they relate to that. Trevor Noah made note of how Mr Trump boasts about his wealth, power and that his brains are similar to those of the late Ugandan dictator, Idi Amin. On a continent that has been inundated with over-bearing and bombastic presidents, there is something in Donald Trump that Africans find familiar. The outward expression of strength. "Somali parents like to name their sons after powerful men," says Saddam Hussein Adani, a logistician from Mogadishu. "If Trump were a Muslim, I’m sure you would have a few baby Donalds today." Then, there is also the issue of USA vs China in controlling the world. For some Kenyans, a world that is controlled by the United States is better than that controlled by China. And so for this, the only reasonable thing is to show unwavering support for Donald Trump. They praise Trump for standing up to China. Perhaps someone informed Trump about the harshness of his impolite and crude remarks towards Africa, and of late, he has tried to adopt a conciliatory tone. "Africa is so beautiful," he gushed ahead of his wife Melania’s recent tour of the continent. But Africans are aware that this is not Trump. They prefer the real, blunt Donald Trump who expresses what is exactly on his mind whether you like it or not. They know the conciliatory tone is just for public relations. No insincere flattery. "He’s only saying what the others think," says Willie Wekesa, a truck driver, glancing away from the American wrestling show on the television behind him. "At least he’s honest about it."

This is what is known as a stereotype. It is a generalisation, because people from all walks of life are gamers, we can't all be racist misogynistic garbage. In every community the shitheads are usually the loudest. 5 Likes |

"There's a reason why you separate military and the police. One fights the enemies of the state. The other serves and protects the people. When the military becomes both, then the enemies of the state tend to become the people." -William Adama, Nigeria sorry, what happened to the police being responsible for quelling uprising within national borders? what happened to subduing violence with non-lethal means? 7 Likes |

LucemFerre: Ok, well there are things they've not been able to nail down, like the fact that your head's position is always weirdly placed in FPS games, or how you're either running too fast or walking too slow when you're supposed to be following someone. 1 Like |

LucemFerre: Honestly i don't understand, are you saying the player should run differently based on the weight they're carrying? If that's what you mean then I agree, that has also been implemented in some games like ES: Skyrim for example. |

LucemFerre: You are either being dishonest or you don't know what realism would mean in a game. Let's use Call of duty as an example, if they decided to prioritise realism over a fun gameplay elements what you would have is game where your character can run for minutes but gets killed or incapacitated in one shot, where you and your team could shoot at the enemy for hours without casualties on either side etc... Personally I just think you're looking for an easier gameplay experience, where you can run endlessly through a level shooting everything that moves. These quirks in video games are called gameplay mechanics, they serve the purpose of making games engaging, fun, challenging or even easier. 3 Likes |

It's not possible, you will just end up either downloading GTA: SA modded to look like GTA V or you will download malwares or ultimately be scammed. I have no idea why you would think it's possible to run GTA V on a phone. |

delishpot: Don't let news like this make you misandrous, that is if you aren't there already, there are a lot of terrible people out there but there are also a lot of good people, we just see more of the bad because dey sell better. Everyone will click on an headline proclaiming doom and gloom but will most likely skip the sunshine and rainbows. Bottom line is, good news doesn't bring in as much ad revenue so you find yourself staring at depressing garbage all day long. |
