Today is #diy #foodstr day: #Nostella and #Pesto, more to follow ...

Just ordered some good stuff at Royal Queen Seeds and guess what, they accept BTC via Lightning. I opened #Zeus (thanks @ZEUS) connected to my node, scanned the QR code of the invoice and bang, payment was made; a few minutes later I got confirmation from RQS and two hours later the parcel is on its way. #lightning #seedstr

Spent and earned some fiat on a horse race day. #horsestr #betstr

And of the #plebdrink: „Occasionally we should reach the stage even of intoxication, allowing it, not to drown us, but to take over our senses; for it washes away our cares, and rouses the mind from its depths, acting as a cure for its melancholy as it does for certain maladies.“ Seneca, On the Tranquility of the Mind.

Seneca was the father of the #plebwalk: „We should also take walks out of doors, so that our minds may be energized and refreshed by the open air and deep breathing.“ Seneca, On the Tranquility of the Mind.

This is a good summary of Stoic philosophy: „Above all it is necessary for the mind to be withdrawn into itself, abjuring all external interests; let it have confidence in itself and take pleasure in itself, let it admire its own possessions, withdraw as far as possible from those of others, let it not feel losses and put a kind interpretation even on adversities.“ Seneca, On the Tranquility of the Mind.

„Nothing happens to the wise man contrary to his expectation.“ Seneca, On the Tranquility of the Mind.

„Wherever there is a human being, there exists the opportunity for an act of kindness.“ Seneca, On the Happy Life.

„I am satisfied if each day I make some reduction in the number of my vices and find fault with my mistakes.“ Seneca, On the Happy Life.

„For if a man has put himself beyond the reach of all desires, what can he lack? What need does he have of anything external, if he has concentrated all that he possesses in himself?“ Seneca, On the Good Life. This sounds very similar to Buddha: Big mind, small mind.

„We never exercise judgement in our lives but constantly resort to trust, and a mistake that has been passed down from one hand to another takes us over and spins our ruin.“ Seneca, On the Happy Life“.

„What follows from this is that men are piled high, one on top of another, as they rush to their ruin.“ Seneca, On the Happy Life.

„Accordingly, the most important point to stress is that we should not, like sheep, follow the herd of creatures in front of us, making our way where others go, not where we ought to go.“ Seneca, On the Happy Life.

Will see Oppenheimer now. How did you like the movie?

„Life, it is thanks to death that you are precious in my eyes.“ Seneca, Consolation for Marcia.

„To this end you were born, to experience loss and to perish, to feel hope and fear, to disturb others and yourself, to dread and yet to long for death, and, worst of all, never to know under what terms you exist.“ Seneca, Consolation for Marcia.

As Oliver Wendell Holmes put it, “We must think things not words, or at least we must constantly translate our words into the facts for which they stand, if we are to keep the real and the true.” Farrington, Allen; Meyers, Sacha.
