Slaughter season is upon us! My son and I just whipped up 10 kg of ground lamb in under 10 minutes using this beast of a 75-year-old Ballerup Master Mixer. Built to last forever—probably why the company went bust. They should have saved profits in bitcoin

Very cool 😎! What age do you choose to butcher your lambs?

My lambs are usually born in the spring around Easter and I slaughter at this time of the year when the grass stop growing. So from 6 to 8 months I guess.

In my view this is one of the big benefits to sheep compared to cows. I only have to feed the breeding stock over the winter.

I wish I had heard about Bitcoin 75 years ago when it was still cheap, black and white and made of wood :/ but I was too busy not being.

Mmm. 75 years? 16.

Haha.

My point was: there is no shame to solving a problem permanently for your customers as long as you save the profits in bitcoin (/a deflationary currency).

Just close the company when the job is done. And live off your savings for ever or solve a new problem.

My daughter attended a medical call with the fire department about this time last year. A 16 year old girl was up to the wrist in a 3500W electric grinder. So sad. She never got the safety talk.

Safety first. I try to always start with the question: "what is the worst thing that can happen with this machine/task?"

And next time the kids are helping me with the grinder I will share this story. Thanks for sharing
