No worries Kat. I've had my own issues. Although, my issues were based on health :(
My 2Jun18 stroke caught me in a major reimplementation of my data center and it took almost 18 months before I could operate a screw driver again.. Don't stop, don't quit, keep driving on ;)

He gave her away for free, with an offer to connect them with a contractor that would work for cheap. Were she anymore disliked, she'd be dead already.

This is Odessa's flat? So, where the hell she is, cher? ;)
Yeah, I still see Zeke as a tall, green, Cajun ;)
Actually, I see all the low-towners as Cajuns.

BTW, don't worry about it. There never has been a restart without hick-ups ;) They happen, the main thing is to not quit ;)

And threrein lies the problem with flying cars. It's a Dunn-Kruger problem, those who are incompetent are sufficiently incompetent to realise their own incompetence. The problem is that, flying is sufficiently taxing, of competence, to eliminate 60-80% of humans from being licenced pilots. Add to that a sufficiently crowded air-space and even your hyper-competent pilots will become overwhelmed. I submit that, even with fully competent auto pilots and controls, accidents cannot be avoided and accidents carry severe penalties, regarding loss-of-life, property damage, etc.

The problem with flying cars is the competency requirement of the pilots; less than 5% of the population would qualify.

You've nailed the fundamental problem with flying cars, current traffic management will not scale to those numbers. Think of 1.5 million air traffic commuters in Los Angeles alone; the city that defines road rage. Then consider the other major cities following suit.
