Probably just sit and wait for what happens next and hope all the people around me don't freak out.

I lived in Japan for years without knowing about the whole isekai thing; I've just never really been into anime/manga.

That looks really nice! I want to build a root cellar but it's just not feasible for my climate (humid subtropical) and location (no mountains or hills on my land to go into and water table too high to dig down). I would have to do mechanical cooling and ventilation on whatever I build at which point it's basically a walk-in cooler.

If someone really wanted to find the person, I imagine they'd find where the signal is coming from for that device, and just narrow from there. If it always goes to/from where John works and lives, it might well be John's phone.

In Japan, a lot of things don't take calls from VoiP (+81-050-xxxx-xxxx) numbers. Certain businesses and such won't accept them as contact info, either, as I discovered trying to rent my first apartment by myself.

Various adults-only flights (and I think even an airline, but I might be mistaken) did exist. You could argue about 9/11 and later financial troubles factoring into their demise, but they're usually more expensive and less frequent/convenient and thus are not popular.

Second, if you can afford to fly enough that this is a regular occurrence, get noise-canceling headphones.

Third, not all people who are traveling with small children are doing it because they want to: funerals, work relocation, etc. are a thing that are impractical to do via other modes of transportation. If my work and the internet were good enough, I'd love to just boat everywhere out of my current country, but that's not going to happen (although I don't have kids, so it wouldn't matter for this post, I suppose).

I knew a guy who worked with stuff at Nasa programmed in Ada and who named his daughter Ada :)

Ah, yeah; I was two jobs back then and definitely didn't have money for game consoles.

I have no idea what I'm looking at so I'm guessing I'm on the other side as 'too old' maybe?

Analogue TV

I mean, the vacuum tubes will take quite a while to warm up at the start.

I ran into a number of bugs in that game and got frustrated (I can't recall what exactly, anymore). It's the only one where I didn't roll another character to play though again in a different playstyle. It's great they did it mostly remotely during covid, but that they couldn't be arsed to fix the bugs left a bad taste in my mouth.

The writing but also the direction; there was apparently a lot of work by the writers that got cut leading to some of the mess that's there today.
