Adam Rogers on ordering a beer.

Adam Rogers on ordering a bee, PROOF: The Science of Booze

"Time stopped. The world pivoted. It seems like a small transaction - a guy walks into a bar, right? -but it is the fulcrum on which this book rests, and it is the single most important event in human history. It happens thousands of times a day around the world, maybe millions, yet it is the culmination  of human achievement, of human science and apprehension of the natural and technical world. Some archaeologists and anthropologists have argued that the production of beer induced human beings to settle down and develop permanent agriculture - to literally put down roots and cultivate grains instead of roam nomadically. The manufacture of alcohol was, arguably, the social and economic revolution that allowed Homo sapiens to become civilized human beings."

  1. I have a couple collection accounts that I wanted to get removed.. I was going through a divorce and lost track of certain bills/paper work. Also I have completed student loan rehabilitation on my six student loans that went into default. I have been making on time payments with the new provider but the old loans still remain as closed/transferred with the negative payment history on them. Shouldn’t they be deleted since the same loans are now with a new loan provider? It is essentially duplicated reporting them right? I am planning on getting married in few months and want to buy a house with my current girlfriend and with this stuff on my report I was afraid I won’t be able to do this. This was exactly my story until I contacted SAFEPORT CREDIT SPECIALIST who did the magic by clearing all the debts and raised my score to 800+ across the three credit bureaus and even added some positive trade lines on my report. I was able to get a good house with a very low interest rate. Thank you SAFEPORT for helping me.....

  2. Fake Wallet App Scam review // PASSCODE CYBER RECOVERY

    What began as a straightforward effort to manage my crypto savings quickly turned into a distressing ordeal. I had been holding Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), and XRP, and decided to download what seemed to be a legitimate cryptocurrency wallet app from the App Store. The interface was flawless, closely resembling the official wallet I had previously used. With no apparent warning signs, I felt secure enough to transfer $850,000 worth of Bitcoin into the app. A few days later, I opened the app to check my balance, only to be met with shock when my crypto account displayed a balance of zero. I attempted to refresh the app, hoping it was just a temporary glitch, but the grim truth soon became clear: I had fallen prey to a sophisticated scam. The app was a fraudulent imitation, designed solely to deceive users and siphon off their funds.I contacted Passcode Cyber Recovery, a cybersecurity firm renowned for recovering stolen digital assets. Their team promptly initiated an investigation into the scam. Within days, they traced the counterfeit wallet app back to a developer located overseas, who had a history of similar fraudulent activities. I soon learned that I was not alone, this was part of a larger scheme targeting cryptocurrency users worldwide. Thanks to Passcode Cyber Recovery , I managed to recover all of the money I had lost. The recovery process was intense, but their efforts paid off, and I was able to retrieve the full amount of $850,000. This has reinforced my commitment to safeguarding my digital assets. I now thoroughly vet app developers and only trust links from the official websites of reputable crypto platforms. While the incident was both financially and emotionally taxing, the successful recovery of my funds has provided me with a sense of relief and security moving forward.

  4. To anyone feeling trapped by bad credit, I truly understand. My name is Jace Hudson, I'm a single dad, i felt like my financial life was a constant uphill battle. My credit score stocked at a dismal 512, tried applying for a better apartment or a reliable car but was met with rejection. It felt like past mistakes were forever holding me back. I tried other credit repair companies, only to have them take my money and deliver nothing. I was beyond skeptical and convinced my credit was a lost cause, a permanent black mark. But then, a friend, who knew my struggles, urged me to try CREDITFIRM NET SOLUTION. My guard was up, but something about their genuine approach felt different. They didn't make empty promises; they offered a clear, step-by-step plan tailored to my situation. For the first time, I felt understood, not judged. They meticulously went through my credit report, identifying every derogatory mark, old medical bills, late payments, even a forgotten collection. They didn't just dispute them; they worked tirelessly to make sure it was off, the results were astounding, just within few days CREDITFIRM NET SOLUTION cleared all the derogatory marks from my report and my score soared from 512 to an amazing 802! It was not just a number but a new beginning. Now I’ve secured a much better car loan, saving me significant money, and I'm now actively planning to buy a home for my daughter and l. The financial burden that weighed me down has finally been lifted. Reach them via: CREDITFIRMNETSOLUTION AT GMAIL DOT COM they're just what you need. And thank me later, cheers.
