Is it possible that there are millions becoming men without a country? Men who are increasingly removed from the sources of power? Men who have fewer and fewer ideas available to them, and fewer and fewer ways of expressing themselves meaningfully and effectively?

The heater is controlled by #homeassistant which makes sure to keep the temperature at about 8°C. It turns on every ten minutes or so, blowing short burst of warm air.

We started planting early this year and as the #plants grew and got re-potted we did not have enough space inside anymore. Since we still get #frost during the nights, we made small mini #greenhouse inside our (already small) greenhouse and use a heater to keep them warm at night. It has worked really well so far!
