So that's still only 1.5 hours for the cost of a pair of expensive sneakers.
The sneakers will last for months or years; once that 1.5 hours of flying time
is gone, there's nothing.



Might as well kill yourself now, then, because the rest of your life is
just going to cost more money.

Your grasp is astonishing.

I'm not sure how you arrived at this conclusion.

But I struggle to find time and cash to keep this hobby up. Lately, I
have rediscovered digital photography. I can't help but notice that it
also is a skill and craft, with plenty of technical stuff to nail
down, and even at its most expensive, it's a lot cheaper than
aviation. And my wife does not worry about me getting killed taking
photos. There's an appeal to that.

Just be careful of what you take pictures of....

Ah, yes, there's always the possibility of getting killed as a
consequence of having taken certain pictures.
