I don't use much cash myself lately. I use PASSMO on my phone, and recharge it using my phone, wherever possible (which includes vending machines nowadays). And in other places, I use PayPay. If I can't use either, I will use a Visa debit card, and cash is a last resort.

I rarely eat processed food except in restaurants (where we mostly have no idea what we are eating) and cook almost all my food from scratch. And I am a great cook, as anyone who has eaten my food will attest.

Hit his 25th today. Shohei is on fire. Cashing in against the bottom feeders of the league. (Rockies, Angels and now White Sox)

should be in this year's All Star Game. He's on fire.
The Brewers knocked him around pretty good but outside of that he has pitched well.
He is a shoe-in for the All-Star Game.

An air conditioner cannot work when the humidity is very high, because ice accumulates on the evaporator coil and blocks the air flow. Also, no AC would function when the temperature is 70 degrees Celsius. If tress are burning outside your house, you will not be able to use your AC.
It would behoove you to listen to this guy Steve.

I have never understood why people flock to these places to look at high mountains. My awe has never been inspired by such places, I prefer rolling hills and pastures to see, but woud not travel travel thousands of miles to do so. In the little county where I live with my girlfriend in the UK, there are many places like this, along with narrow winding roads.
Interesting. Thanks for sharing.
