Alright! I'll play some calm game-oh here he comes.

People who think staying as a hausfrau won't drive you crazy, i hope you stub your toe.

Ah, it took me much more than a second to understand it's written in German. And I was just "but Mozart didn't write about dying nor killing the flute"🤦‍♀️😅🤣

How would you describe #nostr in 40 words of less? #asknostr

This looks like the hardest level of Super Hexagon

fwiw

A new study shows that Tesla Driver s are more likely to get into a crash than any other vehicle drivers.

Nostr is a small frontier town.

There are always the kinds of folks who want to live in a small frontier town.  They come because they are tired of being controlled and want freedom; because they get ostracized from mainstream society; because they want to be part of building and founding something; because they are small or medium fish and a smaller pond is better than a bigger one for them; because they prefer knowing their neighbors and relaxed, small town vibes; because they know that frontiers tend to attract their kind of people; or because they see some potential in that town and know that if they stick with it, they and the town will prosper together.

There are always the kinds of folks who don’t want to live in a small frontier town. When they visit, they dislike that there’s nothing exciting to do, the pace of life is too slow with too little action, few people live here, few who live here share their background or interests, wild or offensive people live here, there’s not enough regulation, the infrastructure isn’t well developed, they don’t know how to (or don’t want to) make their own fun.

Some small frontier towns become ghost towns, but others, which are situated strategically, get the chance to grow.  Towns on river mouths grow; towns on crossroads and train tracks grow; towns with thriving industries grow.  More and different people live there now.  There’s more to do, more being said.  The town gets a glow-up and the finer things of life flow in.  And then, sometimes, some of the city folk are a little more happy to stay.

I believe Nostr is “situated strategically” because of its unique properties, like a frontier town on a river mouth.  There’s no need to fret about whether Nostr will grow or become what you hope it will be; just give it time and do your best to leave your mark.  There’s no need to dis the “city folk” who don’t want to stay; many of their complaints are perfectly valid; just give it time, and as long as what they’re looking for is possible within Nostr’s basic structure and values, they might just take up residence when things get a little more developed.  It doesn’t actually make you any better than them that you stay and they go, though it does show that you are more rugged, or at least better adapted to our particular frontier conditions.

Stay patient and present and I know I’ll be seeing more of you, neighbor!

A 20% tariff on wine sounds simple.

But in the U.S., wine moves through a system designed to multiply cost:

Producer → Importer → Distributor → Retailer → You

Each layer adds its margin.

So when the base price goes up, the whole chain compounds it.

Here’s how imported wine moves through the system:

→ Producer sells the wine for $10

→ Importer adds 35% → $13.50

→ Distributor adds 30% → $17.55

→ Retailer adds 40% → $24.57

That’s how a $10 bottle becomes $25—before any tariff.

That’s just the system.

Now let’s add a 20% tariff to that $10 bottle:

→ Producer + tariff = $12

→ Importer markup → $16.20

→ Distributor markup → $21.06

→ Retailer markup → $29.48

The price didn’t rise by just $2.

It rose almost $5—because each step adds margin to a higher base.

That’s the multiplier effect.

This system what put in place after Prohibition.

The government banned direct sales to control alcohol.

They split the chain into tiers to make it easier to tax and track.

It’s not efficient. But it is law.

And that’s just the sales chain.

Even American wine relies on foreign parts.

Most bottles come from China.

Most corks come from Portugal.

Many barrels come from France.

So tariffs raise production costs here too.

A $10 bottle doesn’t become $30 because of a tariff.

It becomes $30 because of the system.

Tariffs just amplify the effect.

90 day pause on all GM tariffs.

Tariffs still in place for Primal users.
