It's generally very safe there, so not much to worry about. If you are planning on doing a lot of hiking in unpopulated areas make sure you do your due diligence. The weather is pretty nice in the summer. Nearly everyone speaks good English, with the exceptions of some older people and those in rural areas. Enjoy your time there, the people are friendly and the land is breathtaking.

For skate style shoes I'm a fan of Nike SB and Lakai. Anything over about $70 will generally last. My Nike Shane Premiums have walked all over Europe and are still in great condition.

I also recommend Vessi. They're waterproof, breathable, comfortable, and my wife and I wore them in all sorts of rough use cases and they are still going strong years later.

I tend to browse FB marketplace when I'm bored and look for cars that are listed for less than they seem to be worth. I don't really actively look for them so it's usually a few months between cars because I'm busy with my real job

Car reselling

People often have mechanical problems with their vehicles and instead of trying to fix it they buy a new car. You can sometimes get them to sell the car for half the value, especially if it's not running.

I bought an SUV for $1000 because it wasn't running. I spent 4 hours and $300 replacement a sensor and the brakes on it. I then sold it for $3000. That works out to $1700 of profit for 6 hours' work if you include the time to sell it. That works out to $283/hr.

They don't always go as well as that one but it's usually pretty close

Espresso beans are roasted a little more heavily to help you get a full extraction during the ~20-30 brew time, as opposed to pour over for example where you have a few minutes of immersion for the extraction to occur.

If you're just starting out, you're probably going to spend your first bag of coffee trying to get your process consistent. Once you've got it dialed, then start changing to different roasts.

I do what others have suggested: I Google "coffee roastery near me". Many will ship to your home.

If you're not already familiar I highly recommend looking up James Hoffman on YouTube. He has a series of videos giving you a solid foundation on how to get started brewing espresso, and they're very aesthetically satisfying as well.

Dependent on the length of the horn blast, however

A lot of people are commenting about how Ryobi and Milwaukee are owned by the same parent company.

This is true, but in the same way Lexus and Toyota are the same company. Ryobi is intro level and Milwaukee is the professional focused brand. There's nothing wrong with Ryobi, but Project Farm has repeatedly tested Milwaukee and Ryobi and Milwaukee consistently outperforms. It's not a "badge engineering"situation.
