Ah, thank you for that reminder to bring my portable charger for my week of skiing trip!
I often think of this issue (not being capable of old-school "technology"). What happens if that technology is interrupted? A huge sun flare could disrupt and even destroy satellite capabilities, rendering GPS unusable. Then what do we do? Learning to drive a tractor "old school" is one thing. Learning to fly an airliner "old school" is quite another.
This is true for just about every aspect of modern life. How many left who can drive a stick or pop the clutch to get the car started? Build a fire? Kids today are completely buffaloed with a rotary phone. Write a check, read cursive? Do basic math longhand without a calculator? How the hell did we get to the moon with just sliderules? Parallel park, without the car doing it for you, anyone?
You can do a screen shot and just drop out the ads.
As expected, it is one boarding pass per page, with an ad for the airline credit card. Don't feel like doing the work to get them to a single page. Maybe will print at the airport.
Yeah, one per page, but I wouldn't want it differently. That way each passenger has their own.
I typically find a "print" link on these types of pages that takes me to raw image of the ticket only.
Incorrect assumption. I want my two flight segment passes on one page that I can cut in half. I'm going to cut the paper anyway so I don't have 2 full sized sheets to carry. One page, one cut, less waste, less ink, less effort. My son will do whatever he wants, which I'm positive is to not carry paper, so I don't even offer anymore.
Naw, not old school at all.
Wait a second.. I didn't think these would work anymore. Really?
Not old school
Makes you the winner here.
Not old school, many of us do this to avoid paying.
I'd never criticize someone for using their phone for all the cool things that it can do. For me, however, I don't want to be tied to my phone or even need to cary the brick with me all the time. I am slowly adapting to using the phone, but it'll be a while.
I use my mobile phone almost exclusively to get two factor authentication codes. In fact, it almost never leaves my desk, although I did take it on vacation to Japan and it was useful.
People used paper calendars without a problem throughout human history except for maybe the last 30 years. It blows my mind that this blows your mind.
Paper calendars come in handy when you do not own a cell phone.
I use the backs of paper all the time, for stuff I need for only my own purposes. About a year ago, I went through some obese folders which had stuff relating to my co-op going back well into the 1990s. Most of it was printed on one side of clean, reusable paper. So, besides trimming down a large folder into 3 pretty small ones, I freed up about 200 pages of clean, one-sided paper which only now I am on the verge of using up. Going through other junk mail gives me a bunch of these reusable sheets from time to time. It will make me a little sad when I have to use new, clean paper to print stuff out again for my own purposes.
There is a stack of used envelopes from junk mail and bills on my desk. I use those for notepaper. There’s another stack on top of the fridge that we use for shopping lists.
Same here.
My (phone) calendar is on Google's servers. I can get to it from any phone or computer in the world, as well as having it shared with friends and family.
