Not sure why you got downvoted.

You might not realize it, but you’re constantly smelling your own hands to learn about the people and world around you

Live with it. Most of the time it is worth it. Do you want to disclose what you have?

I had a super rare form of gluten intolerance that caused problems all my life. Was only picked up in my 30ies. Made a difference like day and night. I wonder what I could have achieved if it had been picked up earlier.

The Europeans often say about new technologies:

"We have never done this in the past, we are not doing this now, we won't do it."

I just send a pitch to a European VC fund with a new, totally disruptive technology. Their answer: "This is a crowded, very competitive market, hence we are not interested." I mean, really? First, this shows that the market is there. Second, such a device does not exists in the market and would disrupt the market. I don't get it.

I am a dual citizen so if we don't find money in the EU we just go to the US.
