The new drink driving laws. Zero tolerance.
Even low range your licence will be immediately suspended and $500 plus fine. Savage..
And no I do not condone drink driving, I do feel sorry for the person who goes .06 (.01 over) and losses their licence and a fair hunk of change.
Will be interesting to see how this impacts the numbers1 -

I do a lot of things until I understand how they work and then i stop doing them. Music, art, gardening, knitting, chicken processing, sewing, food preservation.
I used to joke that I collect hobbies or that I just was going for basic proficiency in case of the apocalypse, zombie or otherwise. I guess the ideas excite me more than the actual doing.
Now I wonder what mastery in some area might feel like and how on earth a person could choose when the world is so big and exciting.
Too deep for chit chat?

I am the same way. I love to learn new things but I get bored with them pretty quickly.

That's probably the case with a lot of things. The idea of it can be exciting but once you get into the mechanics of how It's mastered, it can be a chore.0 -

Oh thanks for asking the question again in lingo that the chit chat forum will understand!
My experience has been that mastery becomes incredibly boring once you hit a point where it becomes harder and harder to learn; less to keep the mind engaged. However, the payoff when someone with mastery is needed, and you can provide it? The payoff feels good. Vindicates the time you've put into whatever particular skill that is.
However, I dunno if it can top the *rapid* pace of the honeymoon-phase of learning something new. I love picking up the core of new skills just for that reason, so much to take in and process all at once...it's like a flood of gorgeous excitement.
My experiences have been similar to yours--trying many new things over the years, but a few years back I decided to try to really master what I do for a career now and while I'm convinced that there's more I can learn, it's become harder and harder to seek out and therefore it's not nearly as exciting as I like new things to be.3 -
IDK, sometimes I think my broad base (not deep, but broad) helps me to make connections that others don’t see. That’s how I’ll console and rationalize anyway.1

Agreed, I don't even think it requires rationalization. Also makes it easier to talk to people, when you have at least rudimentary knowledge about so many things, it makes it easy to ask relevant questions, and you can learn a lot about folks from how they answer queries like that
Oh no I've said too much1 -
