Treffende Beschreibung der Inflation aus der Zeit des Goldstandards: "Und sie lohnte sich; noch wurde nicht wie in den Zeiten der Inflation der Sparsame bestohlen, der Solide geprellt, und gerade die Geduldigsten, die Nichtspekulanten hatten den besten Gewinn."

"Ständig mußte man sich Forderungen des Staates unterordnen, der stupidesten Politik zur Beute hinwerfen, den phantastischsten Veränderungen anpassen, immer war man an das Gemeinsame gekettet, so erbittert man sich wehrte; es riß einen mit, unwiderstehlich."
– Die Welt von Gestern: Erinnerungen eines Europäers - Das goldene Zeitalter der Sicherheit von Stefan Zweig

"The Paradox of Freedom: The way to expand your freedom is to narrow your focus.
Stay focused on saving to achieve financial freedom.
Stay focused on training to achieve physical freedom.
Stay focused on learning to achieve intellectual freedom.
The disciplined become the free."

Yes, but at least you know the maximum level from the description of the seed bank. That is what I take for my calculation. So I hope to make sure not to overdose (I had a less than pleasant experience with overdosing). Would you mind sharing one of your cookie or chocolate recipes here?

Sounds yummy. So you calculate one full dose with 18mg THC? This would be my calculation if you take 100g buds with 20% THCA. For me, one full dose is more like 5-7mg THC in edibles :-)

At the end of this Parliament everyone in Britain will be a victim, apart from the minority of hard-working, over-taxed, middle-class males who bear the cost of the remainder. Roger Scruton, 1997!

2023-09-11 07:46:56 UTC

The choice lies before us, as it has lain before every human being in history, to live well or badly, to be virtuous or vicious, to love or to hate. And this is an individual choice, which depends on cultural conditions only obliquely, and which no other person can make in our stead. Roger Scruton.

And of the #plebdrink: „Occasionally we should reach the stage even of intoxication, allowing it, not to drown us, but to take over our senses; for it washes away our cares, and rouses the mind from its depths, acting as a cure for its melancholy as it does for certain maladies.“ Seneca, On the Tranquility of the Mind.

2023-08-18 19:23:59 UTC

Seneca was the father of the #plebwalk: „We should also take walks out of doors, so that our minds may be energized and refreshed by the open air and deep breathing.“ Seneca, On the Tranquility of the Mind.

2023-08-18 15:53:08 UTC

This is a good summary of Stoic philosophy: „Above all it is necessary for the mind to be withdrawn into itself, abjuring all external interests; let it have confidence in itself and take pleasure in itself, let it admire its own possessions, withdraw as far as possible from those of others, let it not feel losses and put a kind interpretation even on adversities.“ Seneca, On the Tranquility of the Mind.

Great idea, I was eagerly waiting for it. I installed it overnight on my Pi 8 GB, but was very disappointed when I started it this morning. It was VERY slow and could not answer my first two questions (first was relating historic exchange rates and second regarding stoic philosophy). Llama via nostrnet.work from @npub1cmm…lr6f answered both questions quickly. Also, the other apps on my Pi became slower. So I deinstalled the app ... No offence to @npub1agh…mhct, you did a great job in offering this one click install app, but anyone has to be realistic ... You cannot run a fully functional and competitive LLama on a Raspi Pi ...

„I am satisfied if each day I make some reduction in the number of my vices and find fault with my mistakes.“ Seneca, On the Happy Life.

„For if a man has put himself beyond the reach of all desires, what can he lack? What need does he have of anything external, if he has concentrated all that he possesses in himself?“ Seneca, On the Good Life. This sounds very similar to Buddha: Big mind, small mind.
