@LumberJack Maybe his past experinece of being (American football) tight-end helped. I dunno how someone could stand up in one place that long; it might be harder than doing an ultra-marathon.
He didn’t even take a bathroom break! I know that means major dehydration, because I have done it, too. Not in such an inspiring moment, though. I really hope that he’s getting medical attention to rehydrate and balance his electrolytes. Oh man, I hope this reinvigorates the resistance.
 
For April Fools’ Day, I figured I’d just have another normal, boring day. Instead, I developed a migraine. It started as a constant pain in the back of my eyes, like having my retina in a vice. Thankfully, I had access to prescription pain relievers, but I was ill-prepared for the nausea that followed. That was rough. On top of that, my blood-sugar took a plunge in the midst of my search for Pepto-Bismol. I mean, really?

Anyway, I’m doing better now. As much as that sucked, it did turn my attention away from anxiety. At least there’s always more bullshit waiting around the corner.

I'm nervous about cashless society for a lot of reasons. To me, it's a bad idea on principle to leave a trail that can let everyone know what you spend your money on. Governments can freeze your account in an instant and leave you completely stranded, without funds. If they can do it, they will do it; no failsafes will stop them. It's hugely inconvenient for travellers, as you cannot shop around for the best exchange rate. You can be sure the app will choose a less good rate for you and then make a profit for itself off the exchange. Using an app introduces all kinds of middlemen into what should be a simple transaction. And your finances are constantly at the mercy of tech. For me, nothing is more convenient than cash.

Sweden have been experimenting with a cashless society and it hasn't worked as well as they expected

I hope you are feeling better now. I know how those are; they can get pretty brutal.
