Well the problem is - In Denmark, you need to have walked into the small percentage of banks that actually still have cash in them…

Americans seems highly resistant to the cashless society and also the country lacks the types of banking regulations you see elsewhere that have enabled the transition (for example - card fees are capped at 0.5% in the EU for businesses) so that does not surprise me. Another example is that in most places in europe, cashapps are not a thing because transfers between banks are free, instant and safe.

Nothing to rob - only about 2% of the banks have cash in them anymore.

Because of the hard limit of speed of light - you'd be realistically looking at a couple of thousand years as a minimum. It's unlikely you could make anything last for that period of time.

Let's for argument sake say you travel 1000 light years away - how do you plan to get there in a time period that is shorter than critical failure on the 'ship'?

Nothing like that - the lectures are given by serious well regarded experts.

But it doesn't have courses so the amount you deliver on your courses is neither here or there. It also doesn't claim to support any specific learning path towards "mastery" - simply that it provides lectures at (UK) level 4 and above.

No there is no law on this and its amazing common in busy bars to find women come into the men's to use a cubicle.
