They were on a Boeing too.

      It’s called “global warming,” that means the incredibly complex fluid dynamics of earth’s atmosphere don’t change at all except for getting slightly warmer. What the fuck is convection?

      I’ve made a decision to stay firmly on the ground for the rest of my life. If I can’t get somewhere by foot or bike or vehicle or train, I’m not going, simple as that. Between the carbon footprint and the personal logistics and the security theatre I am just done with air travel.

      I’m looking forward to an overnight train trip to visit family in a few weeks. It wasn’t cheap, but it wasn’t much more expensive than a flight, and so much more relaxing. I normally book cabins both ways but the return cabins were all booked up this time around, so I got a berth. I’m okay with that though, I still get shower access and provided meals. Should still be a more pleasant experience than dealing with air travel.
