Yugoslavian culture is amazing. My parents lived in Yugoslavia they and all other relatives that lived there say that it is the best times of their lives.
It is called: Bratstvo i jedinstveno (Brotherhood and equality)
Owners of coops know how different are those organic eggs. Totally diffrent color of yolks, also they have totally different smell when they are cooked.
I find it interesting that people with a lot of storage space tend to fill it with things they don’t need. My father is the king of clutter he has 500 square meters of storage filled with trash he doesn’t need. When I tell him to throw something away, he just says, “I might need it one day,” but that day never comes.
I somehow think that the most valuable companies are those hyped by the media and investors. That’s the reality, and it’s pretty sad because hype has nothing to do with real value.
Personally, I like to self-host everything I can. I know it’s not the most efficient way, but in the end, I love tinkering and owning my data.
In Yugoslavia, in 1969, one of the biggest earthquakes occurred, destroying several cities. After that, the country’s leaders decided to change building codes. Even today, although Yugoslavia no longer exists, the countries that adopted those codes have homes capable of withstanding earthquakes up to 7.5 on the Richter scale.
My main point is that if we face major natural disasters, we need to take action to mitigate their impact in the future. As a foreigner, it seems to me that Americans prioritize building cheap homes over constructing better and more resilient ones.
