@Edent what's so bad about <div> ... or: Why do you want to avoid them?

@Edent I think WordPress may have stripped the other items out of the images when you uploaded it, and it's served up on the blog,

I'm only seeing 964k download size and no embedded video when testing

[edent@mastodon.social]

@ben oooh! You're not wrong!
Looks like image optimisation stuff has been a bit too eager. Will see if I can fix it later.

[edent@mastodon.social]

@ben now fixed!

Even more! Dates like 10191 are AG or after guild. Estimates on guild founding as I recall are around 12000 AD. So Dune takes place past 22000AD there are alternate timeliNes that put it at about 25000AD

@Edent I suffer from all those issues too - which is why I only ever listen to them when I'm out on a walk - which isn't super helpful if you're aiming to try to listen to one on a flight!

@Edent
Close your eyes and focus on the audio and hope you don't fall asleep. 😁

[libbymiller@mastodon.me.uk]

@Edent jigsaws!

[impossibleumbrella@infosec.exchange]

@Edent I normally listen whilst driving - but when listening & not driving I tend to either close my eyes or just look without focus into the middle distance.

[annehargreaves@ioc.exchange]

@Edent Usually doing something else anyway but I guess that's harder if on a plane. Draw?

[auxonic@ottawa.place]

@Edent I can only listen to audiobooks while doing other things. Mostly the more mindless work tasks. Sometimes there’s a conflict and I have to back a ways.

[pauliehedron@infosec.exchange]

@Edent Usually I'm doing something physical, like mowing the lawn or driving. So how about flying the plane? 😂

[jan_j@chaos.social]

@Edent since you are sitting: maybe simple games with minimal input like Tetris, breakout, etc?
interesting question, I listen to many audio books but I’m always busy doing something. Walking, washing dishes, driving, etc

[malte@radikal.social]

@Edent I'll be honest, even if it is not the advice you're looking for: If you drift off to sleep, it is probably a sign that you're sleep deprived and need the sleep. Is it important to stay awake because of jet lag? (I'm very ignorant on this topic and haven't flown in a long time)

[sueneu@fosstodon.org]

@Edent knitting. And I end up with a useful item as a bonus

[hankg@friendica.myportal.social]

@Edent My only time really doing it is when I am doing other things like driving, going on a walk, et cetera. It's basically a swap out for listening to podcasts/talk radio.

[katherine_montalto@zirk.us]

@Edent I find I can only walk or do dishes while listening to audio books

[herover@helvede.net]

@Edent on train rides I look out of the windows or doodle while listening

[herover@helvede.net]

@Edent Oh and choose a good book for the situation! Exciting books works best on long rides for me personally.

[catryan@oldbytes.space]

@Edent mostly I listen when I'm trying to unwind and fall asleep. I'll knit, sew, or stitch while listening too. I can't do anything that needs me to write or do reading comprehension.

[tanghus@freeradical.zone]

@Edent Isn't drifting off to sleep on a 9 hour flight desirable?
