re: Travel hint to those coming to central or southern Florida this summer.

That’s a great route
Here’s a variation option that skips Tallahassee entirely.
From Marianna, go south on Highway 71 to Blountstown,
then pick up Highway 20 east. Stay on 20 until you hit Highway 267 (the Bloxham Cutoff), and follow it east to US 98 in Newport. Take US 98 east to Perry.
From Perry, you can either head down Highway 27 toward central Florida or stay on 98 south toward St. Pete or Tampa. Simple route, less traffic, fewer headaches.
Stop at Wakulla Springs State Park or St Marks NWR

This is not an answer to the question:
Are modern vehicles statistically more reliable than those 20+ years ago?
But still an interesting reflection on that question.

If you have a running and driving car that’s over 40 years old or more, regardless of the amount of work it needed to get there, that’s still impressive considering it was not made to last that long. Because no car or any consumer product for that matter is or ever was made to last that long,
Do you think any of the Ford Model T’s were made to last 100 years? Do you think any of the 1960s muscle cars were made to last 50 years? No, of course not, but some of them did, because someone cared about it enough to keep it going.
I can only hope that the passion for maintaining a vehicle for an extended period of time continues through the 21st century, even though I have serious doubts that most of the new cars will age well, I still think it’s worth trying to keep them on the road for the 30 years or longer.
And I know i’m not the only one who thinks that, but if anyone ever asks me what’s better? old cars or new cars, I’m just going to tell them “Buy whatever makes you happy.”

Shouldn’t we thank Zuck? It could have been Somalians learing how to review the pics.

Good for you - but unless you become skilled with what AI can do in your respective fields you will eventually be replaced by someone in your respective fields who can also use AI tools skillfully (and that’s something that applies to most professions, no earthshaking insight).

I can read your OP in two different ways:
1) You are seeking hands-on, in-person assistance to set up an online course platform.
2) You have expertise in a non-computer subject and want in/person guidance on selecting/ building a delivery platform and structuring course content for effective online teaching of your non computer subject.
