The Swiss have postal banking https://www.post.ch/en and it works amazingly well, services the whole country no matter how remote the village, and is extremely cheap fees-wise.

So yesterday, I got my first wheelchair as a result of complications from long covid (primarily chronic fatigue and breathlessness from walking). It's made a huge difference for me so far even after just one day - previously I wouldn't have been able to walk more than a few minutes without having to stop and rest for twice as long whilst I catch my breath, but yesterday I was out with a friend for FIVE HOURS, and not once did I lose my breath or feel any extra fatigue! I'm so glad I finally stopped trying to just struggle through it and decided to get the chair, as it's making such a positive impact.

To other wheelchair users out there in the Fediverse: I'd be grateful for any advice you're able to offer me as a new wheelchair user. Anything that you think would be helpful to know would be very gratefully received!

at eLife, 3 papers on Homo nadeli have been published. The eLife assessment was:
This... would be a landmark finding. However, the evidence for these claims is considered inadequate in the current version of the study. The four reviewers were in strong consensus that the methods, data, and analyses do not support the primary conclusions.

So what?
