@Viss sadly no

@jerry sadly there arent pneumatic tubes we could take advantage of that run the width of the country :D

@Viss @jerry we really dropped the ball on the pneumatic tubes.

@Laukidh @jerry very much so

@jerry @Viss human sized pneumatic tubes please, to escape in. Just finished a family gathering. They tried to make my wife sleep on a futon with a neck injury. Spent $2k on new beds for us instead. Now I’m “a snob”.

@Viss @jerry LOL can’t find one of those here, only alcohol delivery.

Though I’d welcome that in this situation, everything helps.

@jerry I hope it's a big cabin.

@jerry I'm not sure that fits my mental model fo "cabin"!

@jerry oh so it's that The Bear family dinner episode from season 2, then, eh? My condolences.

@jerry 17 folks is a large crowd, but maybe a variation of the 5:3:1 rule might help? Maybe a 15:9:5:3:1 variant if there are enough options?

@jerry I'm the 9th child. This sounds like.so much of my life. I've adopted one of my brother-in-law a strategies: Announce that you will be eating $typeOfFood at $place at $dateTime, no reservations.

Hold to that even when members of the family try to redirect to alternate places. You can't really dine with everyone in a 20 member party as it is...

@jerry that sounds like a nightmare

@jerry is it like the pizza scene from home alone?

@jerry I used to travel with enough gear to disappear in the woods for 3 days. It wasn't much gear but enough.

@jerry I do hope someone is arguing the point that 9PM is far too late for dinner ☺️
