It’s just a really small guy. The microphones are from headsets.
- Comment on Why don’t more people start profit-sharing companies or co-ops? 1 week ago:
Well, then there’s a business idea for another co-op right there: one that does nothing but connect potential co-op founders. A marketplace of ideas and abilities, if you will.
Also, your co-founders will contribute time as well as capital to free you. The challenge then becomes decision-making. IMHO, if you can come to terms with relinquishing control, you can be part of a successful business in a co-op easier than in a classical setup. - Comment on Why don’t more people start profit-sharing companies or co-ops? 1 week ago:
Yes, I agree, it is very hard. The perspective and the idea of the co-op however is completely different from what you describe: to distribute the hardships, the risks and rewards right from the start on many shoulders. There’s no more “my company, my sacrifices” etc.
- Comment on Why don’t more people start profit-sharing companies or co-ops? 1 week ago:
Not every business needs to expand, though. There are quite constrained markets for very specialized goods or services. I know several B2B companies that have 10-20 employees, serve several dozens up to few hundred rather small, regional customers, and they’re perfectly happy with that.

FWIW, according to this site, 24% of Germans are co-op members. The number of co-op employees is only a fraction of this, however.

My parents are the complete opposite of yours and I always felt like I had no role model to imitate. The thing is, you have to find your own way. And the one thing all parents need to teach their kids is independent thinking. Unfortunately, that also makes them harder to control, so many parents work actively against that.

I had a solar-powered pocket calculator with a membrane once. Credit-card-sized. You can tell I was a nerd because I owned three pocket calculators at the same time.

Take an aspirin, they hate the taste.
50 mg every day keeps them at bay
Obviously, medical supervision is advised if you intend to do this for a long time, say, more than 2 weeks. - Comment on Websites: Then vs Now 5 weeks ago:
Landing pages, too. Often with a corny Shockwave animation.
- Comment on same as it ever was 5 weeks ago:
Hmm. Interesting, indeed. Now please excuse me while I, once again, sacrifice my own bodily fluids on the modern-age altar of fertility which, over ages and ages, has been optimized to take the convenient shape of a sock.

We get them a lot around here. They don’t make for good pets, but they keep the borogoves at bay.
- Comment on Anon gives up dating apps 1 month ago:
Church events work fine, too. My buddy and me went to one in a damp basement and it was about 30 people. 100% women. Average age about 22 I guess. All were dancing. They all immediately started staring at us as if we’re edible. Within the hour, my buddy met what would soon become his GF, and I was approached by this amazing girl. We went on a string of remarkable dates.
The kicker: It was a Christian event, but the girls we hooked up with were Buddhist and atheist, respectively. - Comment on How come people who are against abortion are in favor of the death penalty? Kind of seems like a contradicition/ 2 months ago:
Precisely this. From a philosophical-logical POV, it doesn’t make sense. From the POV of establishing and maintaining power/ dominance/ oppression/ hegemony, however, it’s the only thing that makes sense.

They go bad, though? At least my nice white aspirin pills start crumbling and visibly yellowing after a few months. There’s no way me or even an entire family could swallow 500 until then.
- Comment on Anon applies for a job 2 months ago:
Similar thing happened to me. Got interviewed, told them my salary expectation, they turned me down and immediately published a new upper bound for the job’s salary, which just happens to be exactly 1000 € less per year than what I asked for. I lost track, but I know they kept looking for applicants for at least several weeks longer.

Hubert Schwarz famously cycled around the world… twice. IIRC, the first time at 40 and then again at 46. Previously, at age 35, he completed all - then five - of the world’s Ironman competitions in a single year.
