  • Dieses Jahr sind sie auch besonders schlimm: Milder Winter, feuchtes Frühjahr.

    Ich habe zur chemischen Keule gegriffen und großflächig Schneckenkorn ausgebracht, außerdem habe ich aus alten PET-Flaschen diese süßen Schneckenkrägen gebastelt. Durch das scharfkantige Material soll es die Schnecken von den Pflanzen fernhalten. Gibt’s auch zu kaufen.

    Ich weiß nicht, ob meine Konstruktion so optimal ist, aber wenigstens ist, seitdem ich die Kragen vor anderthalb Wochen angebracht habe, Ruhe.





  • Although they may be considered primitive by today’s technological standards, they were very, very smart and accomplished tremendous things with very little resource.

    They were not primitive intellectually. They were smart, capable and intelligent people.

    This is exactly the point many people don’t understand: People in the past were not less intelligent than today’s people.

    We developed more ways to discover stuff and more precise tools to measure and detect things and of course with computers we got the ability to handle extremely complex data. All of this gives us an edge over past people science wise but we had very capable thinkers 200, 600 and 4000 years ago. All basic principles of mathematics have been developed a long time ago.


  • Doctors still do this, at least in Germany. When you’re a smoker and getting pregnant, your doctor will most likely not try to bully you into quitting, instead they inform you about the risks and recommend you to cut down the smoking to a minimum but they will also acknowledge that you will most likely not overcome your addiction while your body is already under a lot of stress.



  • Okay, but even if the USA can’t change the law regarding states bonds, it is virtually impossible that people stop buying US states bonds since the US Dollar is kinda like the most established currency in the world.

    So your argument is completely theoretical.



  • Then stop selling bonds and start investing directly (build schools, repair bridges, pay your employees, etc.).

    Countries don’t have to take the detour through state bonds because they can make money out of thin air. State bonds are a self-imposed and there’s no law of nature that mandates using them.
