Farmer Crack-rear end posted:i don't read during takeoff anyway because i like to look out the window and marvel at how loving fast i'm going and watch as things on the ground get smaller and smaller same but then at landing time my eyes are slammed shut and I’m white knuckling the armrests because i just know the pilot’s gonna touch the plane down wrong and we’re gonna bounce back up into the sky, overshoot the runway and the breaks will fail and we’ll flip over because they catch a wheel because we’re sideways etc.

oh also they’ll slam the plane down too hard because at the last minute there will be a wind gust that drops the plane when they are above the runway. it’ll break the landing gear or something. idk I’m not an airplane scientist.

Like, two weeks, nine years ago, working forest service trail crew. Built a bridge. Hotsprings right next to a waterfall. Learned how to use a come along to move boulders and how to stack rocks. And then I don’t interact with screens at burns, so, like, a week at a time a few times a year. NOT THIS YEAR THO

had a summer job away from home when i was 19. the house i lived in didn't have internet (i can't remember if it couldn't or if we were just too cheap to get it) so i mostly just hosed around all day with roommates/locals. it was a good summer, away from computers. so like 2-3 months?

Without a desktop/laptop, I think maybe between 2-3 weeks on a vacation. I realized that was a mistake and then always took an 10" 2 in 1 with me. Without a phone maybe a few hours if I was out diving or the battery died.

Skyscrapers seem miserable on airplanes. i miss watching lovely comic hero movies on my ipad on flights. thats the only time i watch them.

I've done JFK->Hong Kong->Sydney, total time was about 30 hours counting the layover. That was rough. Longest gone without a computer is whenever I travel for a week or so. I never take my laptop with me, just my phone.
