>Why didn't they just fly it there?
They did. In 1903 they achieved the first controlled powered flight in Kill Devil Hills. If If my memory serves correct, it was late in the season, and having achieved their objective after three long years of camping in that miserable location they packed up their plane and went home. It was the last time they worked at that location.
For the next several years, until their contract with the US army they flew at Huffman Prarie in Dayton Ohio. There were lots of witnesses but strangely the world wouldn't really know of their success until 1908.

> a native Ohioan I am obliged to view Ohio as the one who deserves it because 99% of the work was done in Ohio.
That's just flat out wrong. The Wright Brothers travelled to (and lived in) Kill Devil Hills for 3 years. The first controlled three axis flights, both powered and unpowered happened at that place. Without the strong, steady winds on that beach the invention of flight would have looked very different indeed.
I will not downplay the role of the work they did in Ohio but trying to claim that it deserves the "first in flight" badge is a very tough argument to make.

Grifter. They never paid the artists, so there was basically no chance there would be music at their "festival". This documentary spends precious little time talking about it.
The organizers breathlessly talking about how they were balls to the wall trying to get the site finished glossed over the fact that they must have known that the artists were not coming. The only reason they kept up this pretense was so they could grift those kids into loading up their prepaid accounts.

I am not talking about chefs here but regular restaurant work. My buddy wants told me if I ever need drugs and I'm in a strange town just drive to a restaurant and wait for the cooks to go out back to take their break. They can always hook you up.

You are on to something there. I recently went whole foods plant-based and have cut drastically back on my sodium. The increase in energy and general sharpness was immediate.
I am more against processed foods than anything else. That shit will send you to an early grave and keep you sick on your journey.
