A quotation from Thomas Carlyle

It is a mathematical fact that the casting of this pebble from my hand alters the center of gravity of the Universe.

Thomas Carlyle (1795-1881) Scottish essayist and historian
Sartor Resartus, Book 3, ch. 7 (1834)

This old farm came with an old potato scale. Despite sitting outside for years, it still works fine.

#Homestead #Farm #Potato #Scale #Weighing #Tools

A rusty old potato scale sitting on a half rotten wooden pallet. It's got a plastic crate and a bowl of potatoes on it. The weighing arm is balanced with the weight shifted about two thirds down the scale, which is read from the other side. There's a rod upon which further weights can be stacked and a calibration counterweight consisting of two large knurled locknuts. It has a steel frame for leaning a sack of potatoes against.

Most of your stress is from trying to do too much at once.
One offer, one audience, one path to buy.
More moving parts means more ways to stall.

⚙️ Keep it tight.

If it doesn’t scale, it’s a hobby.
→ Systemize it
→ Automate it
→ Get out of the way
Your business should grow when you’re not looking.

⚙️ Build the machine.

Don’t add 5 income streams when you haven’t mastered one.
→ One offer
→ One funnel
→ One repeatable result
Multiplying noise multiplies headaches.
Compound what converts.

🎯 One first. Then many.

Simple businesses win because they’re easy to run and easy to buy from.
→ Clear offer
→ Clear audience
→ Clear delivery
Complexity is where profit goes to die.

🎯 Keep it simple. Scale it big.

(Reupload! Sorry! It was really blurry this first time - I don't know why! 😐)

More experimentation today! This time it started with a pretty bad photo of the stairs from the front of Villa Spada and then I asked myself "What would happen if we added more stairs?" - so that's what happened! 😂 It's not completely symmetrical but it's close enough for me! The stars you see in the centre are from a bad astrophotography attempt a few months ago! ✨

This is a composite photograph/photo manipulation of a staircase which is dimly lit and has a Gothic-esque style to it. The staircase, composed of aged, weathered steps and intricately carved columns, ascends in a symmetrical, pattern top and bottom, left and right. The stairs are mirrored in all directions hoping to create an optical illusion.  The dark, muted colors of the stone contrast with the dark centre filled with stars.

Can anyone recommend a modern body weight scale that is accessible, either via self-voicing, or bluetooth connection? If via self-voicing, anything that doesn't shout the measured weight so loud, that anyone within 500 feet can hear it? Anyone who has used these products in the past will most certainly be aware that the "blind equals deaf" stereotype that is clearly pervasive in the overwhelming majority of these products. I'm hoping there is something out there that does not make this assumption, and has a volume adjustment beyond mute and yell.
Thank you in advance for your suggestions.
