dubz.linkAssistance with getting a cellphone battery only sold in the US to South Africa?
I'm currently using an older phone which is no longer being sold on the market. I'm still maintaining and using the phone as it is the perfect size phone for me and the features I want.
The main issue I have is getting original or good quality replacement batteries as the phone stopped being produced years ago.
I identified a good quality replacement battery from the iFixit website. The issue is, it being a battery means that they are not allowed to ship it overseas in the traditional way.
Can someone please assist. There's two avenues that I'm looking at here.
1 - Is there anyone currently in the US who might be coming to SA soon and can perhaps buy the battery and return to SA with it as hand luggage?
2 - Is there any shipping company that will allow shipping of a cellphone battery for special circumstances?
Also if there are any other solutions, please let me know.
Thanks
Have F1 removed the ability to change video quality settings? I'm not able to change it anywhere with this silly new interface...

How would you rank the 6 Ferrari Hypercars (288 GTO, F40, F50, Enzo, LaFerrari and F80)?
Also, to be a bit cheeky, I know some of us don't take like the F80 styling and actually would have been happier if the Daytona SP3 was the actual F80.
So also rank the Hypercars again, if the SP3 was the successor to the LaFerrari.
Here's mine, from best to worst:
F50, LaFerrari, Enzo, 288 GTO, F40, F80
If SP3 was LaFerrari successor:
F50, LaFerrari, SP3, Enzo, 288 GTO, F40

Why did Airbus decide to make the shortened and stretched versions of the A320 have different base model names? (A318, A319, A320, A321)
As opposed to usual indications of shortening and stretching by Airbus and Boeing where they keep the base model name but add a number or a factor hundred suffix. (A350-900, 787-8, 737-800 etc.)
Imagine the shortest A350 was called the A349 or a lengthened version, the A351 for example.

streamable.comWhat are some of your biggest "pet peeves" or signs of lack of car or mechanical sympathhy from non-car enthusiasts that makes you want to tear your hair out?
I just thought of this question as I've had two serious instances just earlier today.
First one is people starting their car and within like 3 milliseconds, putting the car in Drive and booting it.
These people don't even allow the rev spike when you start the car to settle for even 5 seconds. Literally when the car turns over, they have the wheels rolling within 1 second. I'm not being pedantic and saying let the car warn up for a minute or so but at least give it 5 seconds.
The second one is people who vigorously turn the front wheels left or right while the car is stationary. In an emergency it's fine to do it but I see people around here turn their wheels in a parking spot in the direction they want to go, while the car is stationary, before setting off. Like at least get the wheels rolling a little. I can't imagine turning the wheels while stationary is the best for wear or tie rods.
What are yours?
Since 1981, the ONLY times that McLaren have finished outside the Top 5 in the Constructors' Championship (for whatever reason) have been when Fernando Alonso has been driving for them...
After finishing 5th in Australia 2018, Alonso said "Now we can fight". After winning Australia 2026, Russell said "I like this car, I like this engine". What are some other famous F1 driver quotes that aged like milk?

Alonso on the 2026 regs: "Now it's the energy. Two years ago when Verstappen won all the races, it was the downforce. He could go in the corners at 280km/h, and we could go in the corners at 250km/h because we didn't have the downforce.
racingnews365.comQ4W: Would you participate in or use a dating app that had no pictures of the person you are talking to?
Would you use an app that matched you with a guy PURELY based on personality. The first time you see what the guy looks like would be on the first date.
A dating profile on such an app would only have name, age, distance and a short bio. No pictures at all.
This means that the man you choose would be a really good fit for you from a personality perspective seeing that you won't know what the guy looks like until the date.
You might be a hot slim blonde Stacy and you hit it off on the app with a random guy because you are both into football or quantum mechanics or woodworking. If you decide to go on a date with him and he ends up being an unattractive 5'2 balding janitor then so be it. That's your personality match.
Would you use an app like this?
