Currently, reading Schopenhauer's The World as Will and Representation.

Has anyone else read this? If so, what are your thoughts on it? I just finished book III.

Love the quote. I must say that I at first questioned the availability of the cucumber in ancient Rome; so I looked it up. Found this interesting read on the history of such a random food item, LOL had to share. Not sorry:

Anger is temporary madness.

I have been pulling random quotes from random pages. Although someone pointed out that one was incorrectly quoted, but the concept stood; lol.

The things we worry about are normally the things that least matter; even though we build it up in our head. I have always been a rip-the-bandaid-off-quickly kind of person. Just get it done and over with asap.

Great story thanks for sharing. It is amazing how the little changes can have the biggest effects on us and our wellbeing.

Hate it when the internet lies to me! Thanks for catching that; my mistake!

BTW love the Enchirideon. Read so many times my copy looks like a used napkin at this point.

Ask them: How much money do they have in their bank account? How often do they have sexual relations?

Data privacy? I have nothing to hide. Freedom of speech? I have nothing to say.

I have seen recipes for various flowers and reeds — such as dandelion, but have never tasted one. Now that I think of it, I have never seen one lol. Do it!

Sounds like it all worked out well!

25 lbs of fruit with 12 lbs of sugar all in 5 gallons????? Do you have a picture of this..... I only ask because I am having a difficult time visualizing the volume.

I clicked on all three of your links. I still cannot see them.

This is a joint the size of a tampon.

Enjoy it!

 

We seem to have some talented brewers here in the forum. Would be nice to see some final results from the community members in this forum! Perhaps it can also inspire some people who are curious about the hobby.

I can start: here is a sparkling mead along with my labeled bottles.

 

Opinion: Who is the most underrated/under read Philosopher?

I will start... I find Aesop and the Fables to be underrated and wrongly pointed at simply for children. These stories can and must be applied to adult life to live a better and more virtuous life. IMO.

(Yes, I am aware that some think Aesop was potentially not one person, but many, and some question he even existed... like Homer).

Would love to hear what you all think.
