The previous times I have been to South Africa I was always a passenger. Even though I never drove I was still a little disoriented when I returned to the US and drove for the first time.
Facts don't lie or have an agenda. Facts are just facts "God did it" is not an argument. It is an excuse for intellectual laziness. If your viewpoint has merits and facts to back it up why would you have to lie?

The BMW I rented here in South Africa does not have a dual scale speedometer. Kilometers only.
We also have a BMW van. I haven't been in that one yet but will look later today. To all who think I must be rich and fancy because I rented a BMW, it was the midpriced 4 door automatic that was most reasonably priced. The reason for the van, is that my mother-in-law lived here for 7 years to grandmother a house of orphans. They are now all in late teens. So need a large vehicle to transport them. She comes back every year to see them. This is my wife and I first time back in 10 years. Facts don't lie or have an agenda. Facts are just facts "God did it" is not an argument.

Well my first experience driving on the left hand side was not as bad as I thought it would be. It was dark when we picked up the rental car at the airport. Not sure if night and lights helped, but it wasn't too bad. A friend who has driven in Ireland a few time told me his mantra. Wide right, tight left. Served me well. Only problem is I am hugging left curb a bit. Scaring my wife. I am sure that will improve.

Bandwith and data maxes are different things.
A 25.00 MB plan would mean you can only download 25MB of data per month. Do you mean 25 Mbps? A max of 25MB of data per month would be worthless so I think you must mean Mbps. For example since I turned on my computer 45 mins ago, my computer has downloaded 113 MB of data and uploaded 9 MB. The Mbps speed is irrelevant to the total data that is downloaded. Are you on a cell plan or a satellite plan?. Those are practically the only plans that have data caps. If so what is your data cap? It can not be 25 MBs? For, example I have a 20 Mbps plan, of which real world speed is about 12 Mbps. These days, this does not even qualify as broadband. https://www.nbcnews.com/...finition-broadband-speeds-n296276 But, as it is a DSL connection, I do not have a data cap. If I was abusing the service, for example downloading movies all day every day, my service provider might throttle my speed. But we would be talking 100's of GB of data for that to happen. I think the rest of your questions are irrelevant if you are on a standard internet plan. Bandwidth is not something that accumulates. It is the speed data is moving at a particular moment. Unless your plan has a data cap you do not have to worry about the pictures you link to.Facts don't lie or have an agenda. Facts are just facts "God did it" is not an argument.

Ah yes the photobucket bandwidth issue. Sorry I missed that part the first time. It is a well known problem. There is nothing you can do about it. They are just trying to monetize there service. The changed terms of service a couple years ago. I think their bandwidth cutoff is pretty low. There must be other sites that are a bit more liberal in allowing the viewing of stored images. If they are going to charge at such a low level of actual use then storing images there is cost prohibitive and not worth it.
You would have to store images of such low quality that it would not be worth the effort to store there. Facts don't lie or have an agenda. Facts are just facts "God did it" is not an argument.

Here is photobucket's bullshit explanation. It actually has nothing to do with bandwidth.
