Life hack: mack sure wherever you go the first thing you do is make friends with the shadiest mother fucker you can. The kind of dude selling counterfit shoes in a back alley somewhere. Because that man will find you fucking anything when your in a pinch, laws be damned.
I went to 20 or kore different dive shops trying to find a shop willing to let me solo dive (just rent the tanks and gas and go into the water alone). Every single shop and no and its illegal. So i asked my buddy whom i met in a back ally trying to sell some cannabis yo passing by tourists. Within 5 minutes he hooked me up with a SCUBA operation that can get me hooked up with some tanks and gas. He literally made this whole vacation work and i can enjoy my diving.

@jcbrand @Cleisthenes that being said, when something restates the essentials simply and efficiently it's an absolute joy, even if you know them
these books are few and far between
@jcbrand @Cleisthenes one of the downsides of this is in maths/physics textbooks - it can be difficult to find sources that explain the rules that aren't being stated, and once you get these rules you join the club of people who can't be bothered with rereading the rules you take for granted

Another thing that happens with people who've studied a long time (too long?) is that they start writing everything in acadamese.
Long-winded sentences filled with unnecessary jargon designed to sound intelligent. The ultimate shame/fear of many academics is to be outed as stupid.
Funnily enough it's a sign of intelligence (and real understanding) to be able to convey a complex topic with simple direct language.
