As the first commenter almost an hour after posting, I just want to say it's ironic* that no one is discussing our flight from conversation.
*ironic in the Alanis Morissette way, that is.
Maybe the lack of comments is because the topic hits a little too close to home.
I would also venture that, for HN folks around these parts, the more people looking at their smartphones and not engaging in real conversation, is well, good for business.
It's a Sunday. HN is usually slow on a Sunday. On one hand it's nice to see stories that wouldn't make it to the front page, on the other there isn't the same amount of conversation as on a weekday.
