Maybe The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas, by Ursala McGuin?

It was a great try, visually stunning and true to the overall feel of the book, but it didn't have a very cohesive story. They tried to cover too much ground. It would have been better if they had just stuck to the first book.

They teased a sequel at the end of the movie.

You haven't mentioned what kind of boat you have. Sailing a monohull vs a catamaran is somewhat different, also the size and rig make a difference. Your process looks about right to me, for a typical small monohull boat.

It's mostly about practice, though, sailing needs to be instinctive. Try not to overthink it.

Schlage makes a keyless entry lock that isn't strictly "smart" (no wifi or Bluetooth) but is pretty well made and as secure as any common deadbolt lock. I have two and have been using them for several years with no problems. I can't remember the model but they are in the $100 price class and most major hardware outlets have them.

As others have said, I'd stay away from any kind of fully remote lock.

He doesn't just test them, he tests them exhaustively and (in shade tree fashion) scientifically.

Community colleges often hire teachers solely based on applicable experience. For K-12, teaching without a degree may be possible depending on the demand and where you live.

Totally agree. For-profit platforms won't exist if they can't generate revenue, either from ads or subscriptions. If I use a commercial offering I expect to pay for it.

If you use the platform and sidestep paying, you're just foisting the expense off on paying customers.
