As an Algerian, I can confirm that Maltese is surprisingly easy to understand. I was genuinely shocked the first time I heard it because the similarities are so obvious. Many Arabic dialects are also written using the Latin alphabet, especially online and on social media, so the different writing systems aren’t really a barrier at all.

I spent a little more than two in Berlin last year. I didn't find Germany particularly orderly. Spend an evening in Tegel airport and see what I mean.

I recently migrated a 25k line library to .netstandard 2.0 so that I can target core 3.0 and go cross platform. It was worth it.

The same thing just happened to me. I scheduled a physical which is considered preventative which means it's free and covers things like the general blood panels..I go in, they order a blood test and a couple weeks later I got a bill for $800. I called the insurance and they said the doctor billed me as a "visit" and not a physical and I would have to call the doctor to have them change the billing code. So I did that but they wouldn't change, they said that because it was my first time at this office that they have a policy that all first appointments are billed as visits. keep in mind that this was stated no where and this was the first I was hearing about it. Anyway they refused to change the billing code and I'm stuck with $800 bill.

I have one that sends PS4 deals posted to r/ps4deals based on a list of games im interested in.

I have another one that turns on a space heater remotely based on certain conditions to keep my cat warm.

I have one that sends my team mates and I notifications about our upcoming soccer matches, which includes the team we're playing including stats and time.

I don't run this one anymore but I wrote a bot that would screen shot insider ESPN articles if given a link for them and then replies with an imgur link of the article.
