Per mile, but because of how many people drive, the average person is many times more likely to die in a car.

When I used to travel a lot more for work I’d strike up conversations with people at the bar, usually went well. Especially older folk are more than willing to share their stories.

I bought a hand made squirrel shaped water pitcher at a ren fest. It was like $200. Pretty sure it’s one of a kind and you won’t be able to Google what it looks like.

I see you didn’t refute my primary argument.

Mainstream musical success is not a metric of musical skill. However if you look at any violin soloist, they have to be talented.

Also I’d also argue many of those band members do have talent.

It’s more of a multiplier. Regardless of practice someone without talent will never catch a talented and dedicated person.

Have you read Drawing with the Right Side of the Brain? Could help you think about art differently.

Eh you can’t ignore the effect talent has on skill development. Their brain can literally be wired in a way that something like rhythm can be difficult to master whereas someone else can pick it up easily. Some of these things you’re just born with and can never change.

The same applies to high level math and art

Milford Sound, especially when it’s raining, especially if you an trek there.

There’s less brake dust as well.

The main issue for us is groceries. There are just no grocery sources within 5 minutes without a car.

It seems like it had to charge multiple times?

On a single charge, it can travel up to 40 nautical miles at cruising speed.

It’s a capitalist hellscape, so probably barely edible but so cheap it doesn’t matter (I’m sure the company will say it’s delicious).

Like… $450-500? It’s a pretty big difference.

Two adults, one small child: About $400 on just groceries in a high CoL area.

Eating out is expensive, maybe another $400 a month.

I just tell everyone where all the mistakes were.

You need to conjure the ancient dark magics of woodworkers long past.

Definitely applies to climbing. Technically more expensive shoes may help with certain climbs, it certainly won’t help a beginner.

This seems impractical to do over the whole country, perhaps viable over a small area.
