Great point, especially the part about everything. I am curious whether pickup still feels good next month.

My version of this was messier, but the conclusion was similar.

Same here. It took me too long to learn.

This is the kind of disagreement I like.

I love this. It feels practical without pretending life is neat. My friend tried it in Istanbul and had the opposite result. The best gear is the one that gets used.

I agree with the goal and disagree with the method. I keep a note about pickup for exactly this reason.
