After school I've worked at a gas station as well and we did not need to close because the shift swap was the same as over the day.
You exert your cashier(?) and the next one inserts the new. And you count in the office and take the time you need.
Half an hour incl. Some other minor takes was part of the shift. Simple as that.
Yes handling cash is not free. But compared to some charges or fees it's often quiet cheap.
Sure you need to think a head like how much small change money you will need or how much cash for change in general. You also need kind of routine and flow for counting and handling but even if I had to count up to 10k EUR in small bills t does not needed more then half an hour incl putting it into the safe or on the way home putting it into the banking machine... At least in Germany it's not that big of a deal breaker.
I too have a real credit card to be able to rent for instance "bigger" cars like even an Audi A6.
Most often hotels also block 500 Eur, or they state upfront that you need a proper/real credit card and not just a debit card.
That's for me the only reason I have VISA and use it like 3 or 4 times a year...
Personally I "like" or prefer V-pay because it made payment in the EU more easily for me without the need of a credit card even 8 years ago. Since the pandemic, I only pay for a (real) credit card (with daily billing) because some goods or services can only be paid with a "real" card, like more expensive cars at a car renting company or sometimes hotel rooms and the like.
In general I try to pay with cash so nobody needs to pay extra fees. But more and more smaller businesses prefer electronic payments. Then I use the banking card with V-pay and to state it again, the real visa card is only used when no other options are available.
Our sun, sol, has a neat live span so we can thrive for while if we don't **up this plants ecosystem.
But as far as I understood astro physics we are rather quiet early in the game.
All these transitions methods are far to expensive and an unnecessary overhead.
In my personal circle I only new of a single woman who had no issues. The majority had all flowers off issues. During and afterwards. No most of the time it got downplayed or simply ignored but doctors and society a like. I'm personally glad that birth control pills are not longer sold as a wonder pill because many woman suffered needlessly and the worst part is that many did not knew that is was the pill in the first place.
I don't want the miss the young girls skills but she is no security researcher but in the eyes for her target simple a hacker. And I would say too that she got lucky. It would not be the first time that inexperienced young persona have to suffer the consequences even of their well intended actions.
No. It does not. Just write good scripts and catch errors and handle them. That's the same more less with every language. And bash can be written in a way that it is sane and readable and maintainable. Just because you have seen a lot of junk in the language does not make the language bad per se. Sure there are a lot of languages "features" which are more then questionable but I want to rise again the point that it has its place and can be used in a good way.
Yes, in the end it just describes a "zone" and back in the old days most if not all small scale deployments just had wan, lan, and a server network.
But what actually matters are rules between the zones. And again back in the days most firewall rules where simply, disallow wan to lan, but trust all lan to "dmz"/server. And between server and lan? Good luck -.-
Tldr old farts rant: please just all it all a "firewall". Be it zone based or otherwise organized....
Please have a look at how indigenous tribes live and cure the sick to get a feeling what it would have might be back 50k+ years.
What I got during Museum visits and talking with people working in academics those people had a pretty good living. Well feed and even major injuries were treated well.
So please come on.
