My boss once said, in front of all staff that it’s proven that more money doesn’t make people happy, and I suggested that we swap out paychecks. She laughed, nobody else did.

Doesn’t keep long because I eat them

I just lean into the fridge and catch the drips in the jar.

Oh goody, a proxy war between north and south?

Bad site for Europeans.

Nature? Soon to be distant past…

Just, don’t feed it after midnight, or get it wet…

I think in Finland it is a basic utility like power and water. It is certainly priced like that.

Its working for me…

“it won’t bother me, I’ll be dead before then” – boomers.

Fear not, boy wonder. I brought my…Bat-punctuation. Here, use my colon.

Go see Jeff Buckley and tell him to stay away from the Mississippi River.

That’s why governments subsidize agriculture, to keep the price down.

That’s how I did it for years . Turn the heat down when it starts popping and take it off the heat when it slows down.

It’s also possible that they work people until they die, as all the AI from companies communicate and if you get fired from one, you can’t get work anymore. People are a resource that keeps regenerating after all.

When manual workers were replaced by robots, they were told to “retrain and reskill” to get new jobs.

Perhaps these CEO’s can retrain to be plumbers, there’s good money there.

I know many people, including me, that fall victim to the manipulation of advertising.

Back in the olden days, it was “here is my product, and this is the price, if you like it buy from this store” Now it’s not just the actual ad, it’s product placement in tv and movies, celebrity endorsement, influencers, and all that.

Just remember that advertising costs money, and that is in the price of the product. Products that don’t advertise can easily be better value.

I remember the bananas. They were 1-2 dollars a kilo for a long time. Then there was flooding and storms on the banana farms. Prices went up over 10 dollars a kilo. People complained but were told, it was the natural disaster and it’s going to come down. Years later bananas haven’t been cheaper than 4 dollars a kilo.

Supermarkets found the sweet spot where people would still buy bananas, and they make the most profit.

I use Zerotier. I have a rpi sharing my Linux isos through a commercial VPN. The RPI has Zerotier as well as my other devices, so I can connect to it from anywhere as if it was on my home network.
