To be honest software development and archaeology have a lot in common.

In Germany we call you a “Mädchen für alles”

Did you know there is last aid? It’s a project, pretty much like first aid, that aims to educate as many people as possible about end-of-life care.

It’s amazing and everyone should learn about last aid!

Boy never in my life I would have thought about political refugees coming from the US to Germany.

Yesterday someone said to me that we’re living in a South Park episode that became reality… I think he’s right…

Yes, you’re correct: Poorer people spend most of not all of their available on income on everyday goods like groceries, clothes, etc…

Richer people spend (relatively speaking!) less of their available income on these items and save me

Earlier this year I built something similar, although with more space for hard drives:

I used the following components:

For storage I bought used 4 TB drives from ebay for around 40 € each.

Now the system is running 5 x 4 TB in RAID 6 as well as a 256 SATA SSD I had laying around as cache.

The system is using 25 Watts in idle with those 5 HDDs, 1 SATA SSD and 2 M.2 SSDs.

It’s a bit more you’ve been asking for but this option would offer you more expandability down there road.

You’re correct but you apparently don’t know how exhausting it can be to listen to kids talking from the second they wake up until the very moment they fall asleep.

I am very bad at filtering input (especially sound and touch) and sadly the Christmas days, when daycare was closed, were complete torture for me.

they say shit like “never again” then they say bs like this.

No they don’t and that’s the worrying part: In the best case they think it has been long enough since the Shoa happenend and Germany should look forward and not backwards. In the worst case the flat out deny that it happened altogether…

Also:

He is said to have told police he had climbed the building to visit a person he knew.

“I thought I had ended up in a B&B, saw the book and started to read it.”

Im not sure whether this guy really is a burglar or a troll.

Seeing this video I am 100 % convinced that break dance battles are the most wholesome form of direct competition. These two athletes treating each other with respect and fun while competing against each other for Olympic gold ist just amazing.

Folding@Home uses your computer trying to find new therapeutics by simulating protein dynamics.

Why would that happen? There’s no proof that printing money (while considering the boundaries of the real resources like available work force) automatically leads to hyperinflation.

I see what you mean, but this is not about having a strangle hold on the world or being the world’s reserve currency. This is about having your own currency and collecting taxes in this currency. As long as a country collects taxes in its own currency there will be demand for that currency.

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.

Serious question? Money today is nothing more than a number in an account. When a country needs more of its own currency, it can increase it’s account by that amount.

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.

They seemed to think that tax revenue in some way has to happen for spending to happen.

Noo!

But the federal government creates money ex nihilo.

Yes!

Money has to be created before it can be destroyed through taxation.

Yes!!

We do not rely on the money of the wealthy. What matters is actual, real resources and services we can provide.

Yes, yes and yes!! ❤️

Thanks for your concise explanation of MMT! I wouldn’t be able to phrase it this well. ❤️

Public sector debt is private sector surplus.

Yes! This is the very essence of our monetary system that nobody seems to understand.
