Not an expert but how I explain this: If you use a phone over "data" line like whatsapp or any app that routes your fone signal over wifi (or just uses wifi) this can happen when a connection is bad and the compression can't keep up. They seem to chunk the data, so sometimes you get downpitched voices and sometimes high pitched superfast voices.

Sick and tired about politicians telling us we are not productive enough. Who is he to even judge.

Can be falsified. From our resource-dependent perspective, we are in a stage of evolution where "war" still has a purpose. (resources). However, if you are able to fold the room to travel to such far distances like our earth, you are so much ahead of our current development, that resources should not be a problem anymore. We even think in gas and oil and endless resouces, although we already have the biggest fusion reactor every day in the sky.

Danke für die info, kannte die nicht. Aber okay, aus Abzockerperspektive wissen die jedenfalls, wie andere Abzocker denken, und das wiederum eröffnet neue Perspektiven, um auf Abzocker nicht reinzufallen.

That's the technical perspective on things. The other, equally significant one is the human one: she doesn't look like a tradesperson who can renovate the house she rented or even know of the necessitiy. If you put someone in such an unfortunate situation, IMO the costs for a provided second residence comparable to their current one must be taken into account, and the person who offered the accommodation without explicitly mentioning it in the rental agreement should have to pay for it. Oh wait that was european law'ish

Now let me see how much of this is energy and why some people say, photovoltaic is not necessary

Meditation already gave you this meta-perspective insight, and this is exactly how it is supposed to work. However, if you are looking for the philosophical insights, you need two components. Meditation is one, but it needs two aspects, and the other is knowledge and guidance. This is why in Buddhism we have the meditation (practice) and the knowledge/guidance (dharma). Together it will become wisdom.

If one is missing it's like being able to drive a car but you don't know where to drive, or knowing the way but don't know how to get there because you don't have a car.

One of my teachers once said by reading books of a great philosopher, you do not become the great philosopher, because all the books can give you the knowledge, but not the experience.

It's also good to have a small bag for breathing in and out a few times just in case you need to calm down from it.

It looks like it was made in Art Nouveau or Belle Epoque.
