"Money laundering regulations", you see.
He wants an easily forged utility bill or bank statement instead.

Flew return SCP - LPA with Binter today.
I usually hate flying. Not _afraid_ of flying, just don't enjoy the experience.
But 40 minutes in a sweet ATR 72 with lovely crew is a very pleasant experience 😊

In the old days, when multi-column text sucked in HTML/CSS, about 50% of designs I received would have multi-col text.
It's just occurred to me that since they became practical and useful, not a *single project* I've worked on has required one.

Colab is great and all, but I can't get over how much Lightning.ai is giving away for free 🤯
Even if you stick to the free tier, you have full access to a VM with 16Gb memory and 400Gb of storage, and all you need is a browser.
Great for students and non-rich tinkerers.
