With Brando the Mando Sando it boils down to work ethic and process.
He has said in lectures that while writing a first draft, an author should be able to push out a thousand words an hour. That's pretty reasonable if you're a decent typist and you're just focusing on getting rough ideas down. Once he's got a draft, he throws it to his editor(s) who gets to work. If he's gotten a draft back from them with notes, he gets on that. Otherwise, he's cranking away at the next first draft.
The man is prolific because he's got his team dialed in and treats it like any other job. He shows up with a plan and executes.
Pepsi and Coke are the same thing!
Wake up, sheeple!
I feel like that was the plot of an old Bond movie.
You. I like you.
I'm 90% sure that he goes to the top of the mountain to get the rope that he used because he already used up all of the plant he needed and still came up short.
They never show him doing it, they only show him pulling the wooden dummy up past the broken branch, then he tells his friend about it explicitly after being rescued.
This one happened to be made of lead.
It's not even necessary to move to the countryside, just to any area that's less built up. I moved from a major metropolitan area to a small city a few years back. Sure the wages my wife and I made went down a little, but the cost of living went down a lot. That move made it possible for us to buy a home when we were both in our twenties.
People need to respond to local economic conditions, not just sit still and demand the world change around them to suit their needs.
Besides semi-autonomous (as the other commenter mentioned) wired control is an option for most law enforcement uses.
Holy shit, the hits just keep coming! Do another one!
Best we can do is Elon Musk spam.
