Buy us a cup of coffee
A ridiculous amount of coffee was consumed in the process of building this project. Add some fuel if you'd like to keep us going!

Nixivan had gathered his friend for supper and was brewing a juicy piece of meat. Suddenly, he noticed they were out of salt.
Nixivan called his son: “Go to the village and buy salt. But pay the fair price for it; neither pricier nor cheaper.”
His son was surprised:
“I understand I shouldn’t pay more, father. But if we can bargain a little, why not save some money?”
“In a large city, this is advisable” he said. ” However, in a small city as ours, the entire village will notice it.”
His guest overheard their conversation and wanted to know why one shouldn’t buy salt for less.
Nixivan answered: “Those who sell underpriced salt, do it in a desperate need for money. Those who take advantage of the situation, show disrespect for the sweat and battle of a man that worked to produce something.”
“But that is too little to destroy a village.”
“In the beginning of the world, injustice was scant as well. But everyone that came afterwards added something, thinking it was not important, and see where we got today.”
