Поймал себя на том, что иногда мне нравится ездить на автомобиле, а иногда нет. Понятно, что чилить на автостраде это прикольно, а пробиваться через городские пробки — нет. Но я осознал, что иногда мне в городе вполне прикольно, а иногда нет. Я даже в пробках иногда стою спокойно.
Начал рефлексировать, и понял: мне приятно ездить, когда я никуда не тороплюсь. Когда можно опоздать на 5-10-15 минут, а то и на полчаса. В гости к друзьям обычно можно опоздать. В магазин можно опоздать, если ты не под закрытие едешь. А вот если едешь на какое-то мероприятие ко времени, то опаздывать нельзя, и обычно даже 10 минут неприятны.
Дорожная ситуация меняется не слишком предсказуемо. Время на поиск места парковки тоже не определено. Да и постоянное искушение где-то что-то нарушить, чтобы не опоздать. Либо наоборот — выезжаешь на машине сильно заранее, и на месте просто ждёшь полчаса.
В общем, машина хорошо решает задачу "Добраться куда-то в место, плохо доступное другими видами транспорта". Но не слишком хорошо решает задачу "Добраться куда-то к заданному моменту с точностью плюс-минус 5 минут". А, например, пешком + метро решает хорошо. Можно, конечно, пофантазировать на тему какого-то предсказания и правильного планирования, но на деле пара забитых перекрёстков вполне могут стоить вам 10 минут, что в контексте городской жизни довольно много.
P.S. Скоро у меня отпуск, и будут очень интересные посты про дроны и мототехнику. Хотя погода в Питере как обычно норовит подвести в самое неподходящее время. С таким климатом хоть на автомобиле езди!

Gorgeous evening view from the Liseberg amusement park in Sweden. 🎢
Liseberg Amusement Park is also a true symbol of love, as it was built in 1923 by merchant Lamberth for his terminally ill wife Lisa. He transformed the former pastureland into a real garden with trees, flowers, and water areas. 🌳🌺😍
After Lisa's death, the park was donated by her husband to the state, and currently, it attracts about 3 million visitors per year, making it one of the most popular entertainment and leisure destinations in Europe.

🇸🇪#Sweden - 🇷🇺#Russia: The Swedish Coast Guard, together with the police, has boarded another vessel suspected of operating under a false flag off the coast of Trelleborg.
The oil tanker, named "Sea Owl I", is believed to be part of Russia's shadow fleet. It was reportedly sailing under an alleged false flag on its way to the port of Primorsk in Russia after departing from Santos, Brazil. Investigators were also alerted by the fact that the ship appeared unusually light and insufficiently loaded.
After the Coast Guard boarded and took control of the vessel, the captain, which is a Russian citizen, was taken in for questioning, however, he has not been arrested yet. Meanwhile, the Russian embassy in Sweden stated earlier today that it is "monitoring the situation", with Russian officials describing the boarding as an act of "piracy".

The operation took place this Friday while the ship was sailing in Swedish territorial waters in the Baltic Sea near Trelleborg.
The ship was involved in the theft of grain from the territories that Russia has occupied since July 2025.
During last summer, the ship is said to have had its flag changed from a Russian flag to a Guinean flag.
