Do any of you ever have these? Seems I rarely have of late, but I almost feel symptom free today excepting some slight sensation of slow motility after eating breakfast.

Hallo zusammen.
- Was passiert, wenn man in Bundesland A einen Antrag auf Approbation gestellt und die Fachsprachenprüfung bestanden hat, aber während der Wartezeit auf den Kenntnisprüfung(KP)-Termin in ein anderes Bundesland B umziehen muss (z.B. aufgrund der Arbeitsstelle des Partners)? Muss man den Antrag in Bundesland A unbedingt zurückziehen und im neuen Bundesland wieder einen Antrag auf die KP stellen? Oder darf man die KP noch immer in Bundesland A ablegen?
- Kann man in Bundesland B eine Berufserlaubnis kriegen, während die Approbationsantrag noch immer in Bundesland A laufen?

2025.01.22 14:00 ronnie_carra The Dream That Could Have Been
I used to believe in a grand plan—a masterwork of intentional design as if the universe had conspired to give us one man with too much time and too little impulse control. I believed in a guy who promised to save humanity, who said, “Our world is dying, and we need a new home.” It sounded noble. It sounded urgent. And it came from the same person who was designing flamethrowers for fun.
I saw the pieces fitting together like some cosmic jigsaw puzzle. Spaceships to carry us across the void. Autonomous cars do the driving because, let’s face it, humans can barely handle a roundabout. Robots to lift what we couldn’t. Starlink to keep us arguing on Twitter from orbit. The Boring Company digs tunnels for… some reason. Neuralink to upload our collective bad decisions directly to the cloud. It all felt like destiny.
I remember the day they unveiled the Cybertruck. It wasn’t just a truck—a brick from the future, a vehicle that looked like it had crash-landed in 1982 and never called home. But I didn’t care. I sat my sons down that night and said, “We’re going to Mars. Look at the plan—spaceships, robots, indestructible trucks. We’re doing it.” They nodded like kids do when they think their dad’s losing it. But I believed it. I did.
And the man himself? He told us it was his dream. He told us his intellect, motivation, and everything were focused on saving us. We believed him. We believed in him—to the tune of billions of dollars.
Back then, his oddities seemed harmless, even endearing. The eccentric tweets, meme wars, and quirks were all just part of the mystique. “He’s a genius,” we told ourselves. “Let him be weird.”
But now? Now, I see no dream, plan, or purpose beyond the endless pursuit of wealth and power. The interconnected vision that once made sense feels like the plot of a sci-fi novel abandoned halfway through. The interconnectivity has faded, replaced by a single, relentless focus: the accumulation of wealth and influence.
The dream now is TRILLIONAIRE.
Today, a good day for him is tweeting a bad meme. But today, it’s worse. Far worse. The man who once inspired dreams of a better future has turned toward something darker. Where there was once eccentricity, there is now something deeply unsettling. A man who promised to save humanity now openly embraces authoritarianism. He sealed it with a horrifying salute.
The dream hasn’t just faded—it’s collapsed into something dangerous, something monstrous.
I no longer tell my sons about Mars or the inspiration I once felt. Instead, we talk about how power can corrupt and how unchecked ambition can lead even the brightest minds astray. I tell them how dangerous it is to let anyone hold too much influence, no matter how brilliant. But I also tell them that it wasn’t all a lie. The dream wasn’t impossible.
It’s still my dream, even if it isn’t his anymore.

2025.01.22 14:00 BiscottiCautious9014 The Crown Jewel of Narasimha – Experiences of an Upasaka
TLDR: A very long post about a Narasimha Upasaka whom I had a very close relationship with. Do read and find out how a simple encounter with Swami can make someone fall madly in love with him.
One of the defining features of every devata is how it responds to each of its upasakas. Ganapathi awards his upasaks by giving them focus and thinking skills that outmatch most people. Durga smashes down fears and removes obstales. No evil can approach a Kali Upasak for Devi inspires fear in fear itself. Shiva rewards his upasaks with resilience, determination and to find peace in oneself even in the most difficult of situations. Now if we take swamy, he celebrates his devotees by bringing out the best in them, just like how precious jewels emit a glean when it is placed next to a light source. Every sincere upasak of his becomes a shining jewel in his magnificent crown and there are countless people who might fit this description. But the person whom I believe fits this description well is none other than Sivachidambaram Suppaiah. Many would not know who this person was. He was just like any other upasaka but he made an indelible impression on me and how I approach swamy.
Sivachidambaram or Uncle Siva as I affectionately call him was a neighbour to my Grandparents in a humble estate in the state of Pahang in Malaysia. His parents were not very well educated and worked in the oil palm plantations that were scattered all around the country. They led a peaceful life with enough to feed their son and themselves and to save for the future. From a very young age, due to a lack of supervision, Uncle Siva got into a lot of trouble. He could not finish school. He was addicted to cigarettes and often got into brawls when he was drunk. Not the qualities of someone you would see in an upasaka. Things started to take a change for the best, when he followed his parents and my grandparents for a short tour around South India. He came back a changed man with an obsession for Swami after his visit to Ahobilam. Everyone knows that once you enter Ahobilam Kshetram, it is difficult to come out of it without a yearning for Swami. Swami will ensure that thoughts about him will never escape your mind. That is exactly what happened to Uncle Siva.
Trust me, there was great opposition to his bhakthi towards Swami! His parents hated the idea that he was showing extreme devotion to Narasimha. They were staunch Kartikeya devotees who identified as Tamil Shaivas. They were opposed to even having a picture of Swami in the same area as Shiva and Skanda. His father had the final say on the matter. He demanded that either uncle Siva change his ways and come back to the fold off Karthikeya or Shiva or to leave the house. When this happened, uncle was 25. Its not that Uncle Shiva never prayed to Lord Shiva or Karthikeya but his heart was only filled with Swami. After his father’s ultimatum, Uncle had a misunderstanding with his father and decided to leave his house. He was now a destitute with no place to go. My grandparents took him in and that was when I got to know him for the first time and that seemed eons ago when I was probably 5 or 6.
Now most of us cannot have imagined a world where we were left to fend for ourselves. When your greatest lifeline of support, your parents, asked you to leave, it would be a great blow to anyone. It was no different for uncle. He was very affected by the incident and a fear caught hold of him. He looked for a job in Singapore. Started working there part time as a cleaner and saved money while also contributing to his parents. His father would never talk to him. His mother accepted his money but she was in no power to influence the decisions of her husband. Despite the hardship, long hours of working, staying in a dilapidated worker’s quarters, he continued saving money. Took up odd jobs from my parents, to paint our house, do some repair works etc. My father always spoke very proudly of him and he became my idol.
Eventually, he managed to save enough money to buy a piece of land in Pahang when he was about 40 years old. One would have thought, he would build a luxurious house or start a business with the land. No! Uncle Siva built a temple for his one and only love, Narasimha. It did not have a fancy gopura or multiple shrines or impressive facilities. But the vigraha of swami seated with Lakshmi was amazing. Swami sat with that Gambeerya that you would see in Chatravada Narasimha, smiling widely. I wondered to myself, what would have caused Uncle Siva to do this? He spent his life savings for a temple when most of us have insurance policies and bank accounts as if we are going to bring all this with us during our last journey. What faith he must have had in Swami that he surrendered his entire future to his lotus feet? I am not sure I have reached to that level of surrender yet. But I am proud to have associated with someone who clearly has that amount of unwavering trust.
Then the next issue came up. No priest would come to do prana prathishta. He didn’t have the cash to conduct an elaborate samprokshana and none of the priests were willing to do it for him because he was not brahmin. They said that he had to hire a brahmin priest to take care of Swami on a daily basis while he could be a caretaker of the temple. Uncle Siva was obviously not going to agree to that. Why would he allow someone else to be a middlemen between Swami and himself? He decided to surrender all his problems to swami. About a week in, everything was ready but no priest to do prana prathistha. But Uncle Siva did not know that Swami was going to send someone to help him. Right during that time, a Narasimha upasaka who had his Deeksha from Guhananda mandali was in the midst of a social visit in Singapore. My father managed to get his contact and got both Uncle Siva and the upasaka to meet. And after that prana prathishta went without a hitch. Swami always works in mysterious ways. Maybe he was testing Uncle Siva if he would give up on the whole idea. But Uncle Siva had more resilience than that.
After the temple materialised, Uncle Siva stayed there. He had no house, no relatives to care for him and no family. But despite this, he would never fail to greet me or anyone who visited his temple with a huge smile. There were no elaborate homas, paid archanas or ubayams there. You could go and offer what you have and pray silently. I remembered going there sometimes during my Uni breaks for the holidays to visit my grandparents but I spent most of my time around uncle Siva in the temple rather than in the house. He would wake up in the wee hours of the morning and take a bath in the cold tap water before getting started with Swami’s nitya thirumanjanam. He would never agree to bathing Swami in tap water. His remark would be, “ Would you bathe a king in pipe water?” He would boil his water until it is luke warm to the touch, add Vasana dravyas into the water and then he would start from the feet of swami slowly working his way up and when it came to Swami’s head, he would gently cup the eyes with one hand and pour water gently as if he was bathing a child. It would take him about an hour to finish, what most temple could finish in minutes. For Lakshmi devi, he always mutters something after he has finished dressing devi up. I thought he was saying some mantra and let it be. But he told me one day that he always apologised to Devi. Why? “How could I touch and handle Devi like I do with Swami? If I had a wife, I would have asked her to dress Devi, what can I do? I am not married. So I apologise to her everytime that I have to do abhishega and dress her!” I was taken aback by his innocence. There he was treating Swami and Amba as living entities in the Garbagraha, and there I was who looked at them as mere vigrahas. I learnt an important lesson that day. The moment we recognise that there is God in a stone is when we will truly get a darshan of Swami. Many from other religions often mock us that we are praying to stones. My Guru told me, it is more difficult to accept there is God even in stones. Saguna worship is not as easy as what most would put it.
After the temple was erected, he never left the temple. Reason: “Who would take care of Swami if I went on a holiday? Swami is all alone, let me keep him company!” would be his standard reply. How he offered neivedyam was art in itself. He has this idea that Swami loves sweets. He will definitely make a sweet neivedyam everyday at least once. He makes lunch with very little spice. For that he would say, “ He is already very hot tempered. What would happen if I put more chillis? What if he starts getting into an argument with Devi?” would be his reply. I would laugh it off as a joke but I quickly realised that to him it was real. He cared for them like they were a part of his family.
Rain or shine, happiness or despair, Swami was his only companion. Nothing wavered him from his goal of being a slave to swami. Once, a devotee had visited the temple and she had mentioned in a rather nasty way that Devi had no ornaments or Maangalya sutra. She mentioned that if it was run by proper brahmin priests they would have cared for Devi but according to her it was run by a homeless man. I was pissed and told her off. But Uncle Siva was devastated. He had given his all and yet people were criticising him. But then I realised that this was a test of his commitment. He sold off his parents house and got some of money. He bought a gold maangalya sutra and jewellery for Devi. On Varalakshmi Nonbu, he got a priest to do a Sri Sukta Yaga and adorned Devi with the ornaments. After the whole ceremony, I asked “ You had the money from your parents’ house and you spent it on Devi. Why didn’t you split the cash and do something for Swami also instead of only Devi.” His reply “Swami is like my son. It’s ok if he does not have jewellery, his aura itself is that of gold. But I could not take the fact that someone said that Devi is Mooli (without any auspiciousness; without jewellery) to me. She is like my mother. How can I stand there when someone speaks ill of my mother?” was the reply. I was swept away. I stood there in front of Swami thinking, “If you don’t take good care of him, you do not deserve to be worshipped!” And the day till he passed away, Uncle Siva did not have any difficulty walking or any medical condition that got him bedridden. I feel that it was an indirect retort to what I had said in the past. It felt like Swami was saying, “ Who are you to tell me about how I take care of him? Just you watch!”
Uncle Siva had an unusual knack of steering almost every conversation towards Swami. It was fascinating how I could be watching a video of Rajinikanth on youtube, and his reply would be, “ He probably worshipped Swami before. Which Swami could give you that swagger and style than our Swami?” I would be looking at him in disbelief. Once it was Shivarathri, I was in the temple keeping vigil and Uncle Siva had asked a local speaker to come and give a pravachan on Ramayana. The speaker was quoting some verses from Kambaramayana ( a tamil version of Ramayana) which depicts Rama as a male lion. And immediately, he would whisper in my ear, “ I always had my suspicion. That could only be Swamy. Which deity has the glamour and ferocity of Swami?” In another instance, I had shown him a picture of Sharabha clutching on to Narasimha. I had told him in a joking manner just to elicit a response from him, “ Look, even your Swami cannot escape the clutches of Parameshwara?” He got a little worked up and relayed an explanation I have never before heard or read in any scripture. “ Who says that Swami is weak? It is a divine leela. Parameshwara is a devotee of Swami. Have you not read mantra raja pada Stotra? Swami is just being Swami. He likes to pick his upasakas up and place them at the pedestal even if that means that he needs to belittle and humble himself. Also, you think Parameshwara would slay his Prana natha? No, in my eyes I see it as a loving hug. Swami is giving him a chance to do alingana. Parameshwara too is a devotee. Won’t he be yearning to hug Swami? That’s all.” If this was a Shaivite upasaka, he would uphold Shiva’s dominance. If it was a Vaishnava devotee, they would have said that this was Shaiva propaganda. But Uncle Siva said it in such a way that it does not belittle both of them. Even though this might not be a Pauranik explanation, it definitely beats that!
Uncle Siva passed away 2 years ago in his sleep. He never bothered anyone and didn’t give any trouble. He did not have any family or children. His only possession was Swami. His final journey took place from Swami’s abode itself. I always wondered why Swami took him away from all of us so suddenly. But after reflecting about his life, I understood immediately. Swami wanted to take back his only priceless possession because the world was a never a kind place for such people. He knew that he could take much better care of Uncle Siva in Vaikunta when his only family deserted him here. For all the Kainkaryas he did for Swami, I would not have been surprised that Swami himself came in person to bring him there. Though I write this with a heavy heart, I know that Uncle Siva is probably in the loving arms of Swami looking down at us all. My only wish is to develop that Bhakthi he had on Swami, to at least make him proud that I am trying my best to walk in his footsteps. My only prayer is for that ever shining light of the crown jewel of swami to show me the path to walk on and the ever present Swami to hold my hand till my last breath. Om Sri Lakshmi Narasimhaya nama!

2025.01.22 14:00 wegwerfen Project Stargate - What does it really mean - The elephant in the room.
Note first that this is somewhat political only because it is made political by the endorsement and support of the Trump administration.
Project Stargate, according to the announcement and comments by Larry Ellison, Masayoshi Son, and Sam Altman, tie this project to medical research and working towards curing diseases, treating cancer, and individualized medical treatment.
Matt Wolfe's video, The Stargate Project - The $500 Billion AI Agenda, brings up concerns of the involvement of Larry Ellison and his previous comments about, essentially, mass surveillance. These are valid concerns considering we would essentially be giving Project Stargate, and by extension, the AI companies, complete access to our medical and other personal information.
There was an elephant in the room during the announcement that everybody ignored as they were distracted by the AI, AGI, ASI aspect of this and the potential for curing cancer. This elephant was not visible in the room but I guarantee its influence was there.
We are all aware of the Trump administration's ties to and influence by groups such as big pharma as well as the health care and health insurance industries. A project like this has direct influence and effect on these industries and the Trump administration would not be involved or approve of this without the blessings and complete support from these groups and these groups will only support something like this if it lines their pockets.
Here's some important questions about this:
- Who will manufacture these drugs and treatments?
- Who will get to patent these treatments or drugs?
- Who will determine the cost of this treatment?
- Will it be covered by health insurance?
- Who will be the gate keepers for access to this and to treatment?
I'm not typically a doomer, I am actually quite optimistic but I am also realistic and realize that people, and especially ultra wealthy corps., have their own motivations besides the "wellbeing of all humanity"
