 One of these days, Egyptair’s cross-Atlantic flights will join the modern world and introduce wifi. But today is not that day.

In the meantime, I don’t mind that much. It’s time I can set aside to read books and papers on my backlog. 
 May I recommend "Broken Money" by nostr:nprofile1qqsw4v882mfjhq9u63j08kzyhqzqxqc8tgf740p4nxnk9jdv02u37ncpr9mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuumwdae8gtnnda3kjctv9u2xpcur🤔. 
 I did the proofread of the first physical test copy for Broken Money on my flight to Egypt in 2023. 
 An excellent choice! ⚡️🗒️ 
 No zaps crossing the Atlantic 😭 
 Surprised you can get a direct flight from there. I would have expected a connection in EU then another company to the US 
 To a couple US cities you can, via Egyptair.

Otherwise Frankfurt, Istanbul, etc tend to be layovers. 
 don't forget to read my DM when you land 😃  
 I never use in flight WiFi b/c I am a cheap ass. :D

I prefer to get more acquainted with a good book. I finished Broken Money in the customs line. 🤙 
 I had a TSA agent call me out when I was carrying Broken Money through customs. 

She looked at my book and said "Broken Money? The money isn't broken, you don't need that!" 

Preston who was behind me told the lady off "No, he does need that book. The money is broken." 

This was in Dulles International, the capital of the USD fiat broken money system...of all places. 

I'll never forget that little exchange.

 Enjoy your flight! Sometimes reading real paper seems like low food to me. 
 How many surgeries have you undergone to become a 👸🏻? 
 I wish there was a reverse zap ⚡️ for this kind of idiotic comment 
 Cry harder 🤣

 Something tells me you have a teeny tiny penis and that’s why you need to troll and try to make people feel small, it’s the only way you seem to feel better about yourself. Good luck with that, loser! 
 You can dedicate the time to devising new memes 😊
