What will you practice? If you are willingito practice 5+ days per week for years anything will do. If you won't practice nothing is easy. Sure a violin is harder than a guitar, but if you hate the guitar and love violin then violin is the answer for you.

for many the best answer is who do you want to play with. Group blay is a lot of fun and weekly sessons will keep motivation to practice up. Thus find a group you like and figure out what they need - ask. There are guitar only circles where they wil always be glad to have another guitar - that is what I used to play my mandolin in until I moved (yes it was a guitar circle and they loved the different sound I bought - not all groups are like this) sometimes the group needs a bass, sometimes a keyboard... different groups
play different music. Some groups are elitist jerk who demand prooven perfection before they let you in. some are funamentalists in the wrong religion. And so on. So prepare to search a lot to find a group you fit with.

it isn't I play and it took a lot of practice. It is easier than a violin, but you will still sound bad for months. Guitar is only slightly harder.

Which harmonica - the common diatonic sounds like what you are talking about but there are other kinds and your comnent does't apply to all.

Try to get a total of r40.

Why talk about it when you could bee practicing or playing. most discussions feel like people who don't like it enough to practice and so theyeare not good and in turn are 'blind leading blind'

i play mandolin, at an okay. I dabble in many other things.

That is an issue.

i just realized that I didn't finish the thought. Once self driving is statistically safer we will ban human drivers. Some places it will be by law, Some the more subtile insurance costs, some by something else.

We need to figure out liability of course. I have ideas but nobody will listen so noebuint in writting.

We have numbers already from all the human drivers caused death. Once someone makes self driving safer than humans (remember drinkingiisia factor in many human driver caused deaths and so non-drinkers will demand this be accountee for.

That is a low bar. However I have yet to see independant data. I know such exists but the only ones who talk have reason to lie with stastics so I can't trust them.

What jury results do is cost real money - companies often (not always) change in hopes to avoid more.

while not wrong things will not be significant that fast. The average car is 12 years old and so there will be many years of enough still on the road to support existing cars.

Stations will greatly slow down building new gas pumps soon, but existing pumps are a sunk cost - you won't tear them out without good reason as the money they make is still a nice addition to the bottom line for most stations..

Spare parts often are available long after any new car uses that part - there is a lot of money in autoparts and so someone will make then for 15-20 years to get the market, OEMs keep their molds around just to makes spare parts for years. Modern cars the drawings are electronic so they can make new ones (at a cost) even without the molds. A machinist doesn't care if the part is for a car, custom drum kit, or a widget factory - just will you pay them.

Eventually gas cars will be colletcors items with fuel spercial ordered. however that will be many years yet,

The us has enough airplanes that we think we can use bombs to do most of what artillary does for russia. the us does have artillary but not much because it is thought the role is limited.

ukraine doesn't have as many airplanes as the us does and so is useing artillary for things the us would use a bomb. either will do the job for most tasks.

if you are any country other than the us you don't have enough airplanes - but nato can probably count on the us should they need them. The rest need to learn the artillary lesson.

Though you need to evamine every file because '/usr/bin/bash' might really be an illegal video. (I'm a bsd fan so this would be useful to me if only I had something illegal to hide)
