as someone who has tried to make a furnace to melt metals, I envy iron age people who could do it successfully (unlike me) with no fancy tools or materials

I've been in Vienna from time to time, and it's pretty good, 365€/year for the pass that gets you buses, trams and subways with unlimited access and no turnstiles anywhere, you just go and enter

Schedules follow work hours and go from a subway every 2 minutes during peak hours to one every 15mins late at night

You have night line buses for weekdays and on Saturday night public transport doesn't shut down

Coverage is good, you almost always have a bus or tram line less then 5 minutes of walking

There are bike sharing places with 20 bikes each ~1km apart and they cost 60 cents for half an hour, or e-scooters in the designed locations which are basically everywhere (but being owned by companies they cost so much more then everything else)

I usually charge a bottle of alcohol

if I try to mention getting something in return for my constant tech support to the whole family I instantly get the "we raised you, how grateful" treatment

ofc if something completely unrelated breaks it's my fault and I'm required to fix it

same for touch screen tapping. They just hammer their finger and keep it there for 5 seconds, then wonder why it didn't work
