You’re overestimating their ability to change. I still regularly have to pay in cash in many businesses here in Berlin. Wero is a great start but I suspect that PayPal will stay around for many more years.

This doesn’t work well with hard science lectures like physics or math. Even when just copying what the professor what writing on the blackboard I could barely keep up. It’s hard to summarize those lectures on the fly, and it might be a mis

I thought I had UARS too, and did a sleep study. I couldn't sleep at all when I was there. My neurologist then just gave me fucking prozac. It's not that simple to figure out what's going on unfortunately.
