It is really the second coming of Excel. And it is a good thing (probably?)

They are just token generators. It is just that 'just' does a lot of lifting!

humanity has been producing useful things from bacteria for thousands of things already.

that per-se doesn't mean you are bound by it.

For what is worth, a few years ago, I was able to chargeback a significant furniture order after the company collapsed. It is indeed at the bank's discretion and my bank didn't rea…
