Have you looked at a map?
Do you have any idea how long the way is in this instance?

Reply to LPT Your body is on autopilot a lot more than you realize. Everyone's autopilot is an idiot. Life's easier and you screw up less when you realize this, and think intentionally and take actions accordingly so the autopilot can't screw things up. by 12jonboy12
Tangential:

My older brother marries his opinions.
A simple example: He claims that SNL sucks because it's not as good as the original cast.
The writers and cast have changed a bazillion times over the years, and he just keeps repeating this. He hasn't even watched SNL in over a decade.
It's lazy, autopilot thinking.
It's the same thinking as when people never get over their racism and other prejudices.

Wow, I had to read a bunch of comments here to establish that the title wasn't gibberish.

Fun fact: a lot of the early scientific research about Lake Baikal was done by Polish scientists sent to nearby camps.
