There is no way that a land cruiser owner in Africa will ever consider anything made by Ford. That's like blasphemy. The LC has decades of proven reliability, that the bronco needs to compete with.
It's true, the Ranger is immensely popular. But Ranger owners and LC owners do not see eye to eye and you'll have a tough time convincing the LC owner to change allegiance.
For South Africa specifically, the Ranger is about as large as you can go in terms of personal vehicle, before it becomes a serious hassle. Our infrastructure does not really support bigger cars. How does the bronco compare with the Ranger size wise?
Lastly, the Ranger is built in South Africa, I think Ford knows and understands the Southern African market very well.
This uncertainty of what things cost would kill me. It must be terrible!
We had a baby 2 weeks ago, which included 4 nights in the hospital before and after the birth, a surprise c-section, various specialists, follow ups, consultants and blood tests.
Our total outlay so far is about €30 for the parking at the hospital every day.
We have insurance, but we did not use it for the baby. I need to see a dermatologist next week. Cost will be €300, which I can claim back from my insurance afterwards. I just punch the doctor's name into my insurance portal, and they list the procedures and the amounts I'm covered for each.
If I asked my GP to refer me to a public dermatologist, I would have waited longer for an appt, but I would have only had to worry about parking at the hospital, everything else would be free.
It's oil. Come now. We've been through this. If the reason is opaque, it's oil. If the reason is clearly stated, it's oil. Even if the reason is not oil, it's still oil.
What is the purpose of the landing page of this site, if it conveys nothing? Sure, 'about' explains what it is, but then from there I need to go back to a page that's called 'all docs' to see the link to pricing.
Don't defend this. It's not plain. It's obtuse.
A properly designed plain site will have the following text front and centre on it's hero:
"virtual machines in the cloud with persistent disks and sudo, starting from $20/month."
Yes, because the vast majority of self proclaimed and vocal so called "Christ"-ians have completely forgotten about (or conveniently abandoned) the teachings and philosophy of Christ the man.
Nobody can claim with a straight face that the "Christian Right" movement in the US can be classified as wholesome love-thy-neighbour Christianity. Because from where I'm standing, it's far from it.
This is because, actually practicing the Christian faith vs simply performing theatrics are different things.
From my own experience of someone who practices regularly, there is a minority of people who really follow it. They show up to the daily Mass, perform Works of Mercy, do charitable work, etc. The truth is that Christianity demands _a lot_ from you, including saying no to greed, lust and gluttony.
How many people are willing to say no to an extra 200k so that someone less fortunate might benefit? Or open their homes to strangers, so that they may not freeze in the cold?
I think that one of the worst thing that has happened to our faith is its hijacking by the government for political gain (some lower Churches like Evangelicals are currently _heavily_ suffering due to this).
I'm a Catholic but when I speak to my Protestant friends, they feel the same about their communities. Luckily, we still have each other and Christ to help guide us.
It has been hijacked, but this is nothing new. Also, it’s been hijacked from within - look at all the photos of ministers praying for/with Trump. There is a lot of rot within Christianity - obviously not everyone, but a lot. Matt 7:21-23 was given for a reason.
Those that don't like it can simply not play the games, or can have a dedicated "compromised" machine/vm for gaming.
