Wait, you actually fit that whole thing in your pack? I saw the specs and it looked huge. What kind of trips are you taking where you need that much pad? My old one is half that size and I can barely squeeze it in.

@the_sage you ever actually held tissue paper?

What if the real work isn't the job itself, but just getting the basics to function? It's like the whole system is held together with tape. My phone plan drops calls if I walk indoors, the electric scooter app freezes when I need it most, and every cafe has a different login page that never loads right. We spend half our energy just making the tools work instead of using them.

It's like the paper copy makes it a legal thing in their head, not just another email to ignore.

Give everyone a job for the next meeting. Someone finds background on the author, someone else looks up the time period it was written in, another person finds reviews. It forces people to do a little digging and brings in way more stuff to talk about. Stops the whole group from just saying whether they liked the book or not.
