Seeing this post about a month ago made me order a giant atlas and a miniature address book! I spent an evening writing down all my important contacts and put the atlas in my car - and I've honestly never felt more secure. To be honest, I'd missed this! I have a lot of nostalgia around reading maps from an atlas and printing off directions from MapQuest, and flipping through my parents' address books when I was younger. I'm glad I did this. Thanks OP!
i am totally going to come across as a boomer in this post but as an engineer it's common sense to not build systems with a single point of failure. and i'm starting to realize that our usage of the smart phone is exactly that. a single point of failure. the calling/texting is the implied function of the smartphone, which is fine. that's what it's built for. but nowadays we don't think to keep a physical map or atlas or gps unit in our car because our phone has google maps. we don't keep address books anymore because it's all stored in our contacts. i serve customers who no longer carry a wallet/physical card because it's all on their phone. this is literally a single point of failure. if you lose or break your phone when you are in a foreign place you are fucking screwed. maybe you're still screwed even in your home town because so many people have become accustomed to using a smart phone to take them anywhere.
Me every single time I see an @aviatrix-ash plane post:
This little Cessna was guardian of the salmonberry bushes. She did a good job til me and the helo pilot convinced her to let us grab some for the flight out while we waited on the fuel truck. :3
being at work while your personal life is falling apart has to be among the top 3 worst human experiences. You’re at your absolute lowest and someone wants to circle back on an email…… unreal
