And a hectosecond (which I assume is what a hectasec is) is just one minute and forty seconds... I hope he would be able to stay awake a little longer than that.
Just buying a rejsekort (travel card - you put some money on it at some machine with your credit card and it pays automatically when you check out at the end of your trip. It also has a significant discount vs buying individual tickets) solve all the problems for buses, trains, metro, etc. You can also put your commuter card on it if you want, or you can receive a commuter card by text message which would even work with a dumb phone.
But it certainly helps a lot to have a smartphone, mainly for the government messages and the nem id app.
I'm from France and I'm using an online bank. Almost none of these apply to me - yes the pin code and the card come by mail but I can transfer arbitrary amounts online, I have a free gold card, there are basically no fees at all: the account is free, the card is free, transfers are free, I don't think this account cost me anything at all. I had to open the account with a significant amount to get the gold card but you can open it with a much lower amount or by receiving your salary there, and the only difference is that you get a regular card instead.
The only downside is that you don't have a physical branch you can go into but you can do basically anything online without ever interacting with anyone, or at worst you can always call them. Those are real banks btw, not pseudo-bank fintech companies.
I miss UHT and homogenized milk since I moved to Denmark :( I loved being able to buy a six pack of milk bottles back in France and keep it in a closet for weeks, now I can barely drink a carton of milk before it goes bad.
>the individuals that I named were Persian speakers, who lived in a region that is called the Greater Iran today, and wrote most of their work in Persian
Are you sure? I have memories of making a spell that targetted myself and gave me 1pt of fire damage that I could spam to train my evocation skill (or whatever it was called).
