If I weren't busy with the familoids at home I'd love a free plane trip and fancy hotel stay. Er, in non-pandemic times at least
- KerryJones 5y agoI think the point is that many people _are_ busy with familoids. I took them up on this offer early in my career when I had less "adult" responsibilities, but as those tend to increase it makes this increasingly hard to deal with.

- sam0x17 5y ago> If I weren't busy with the familoids at home That + never ending pandemic + etc But also, it's really shitty to fly somewhere only to get rejected. Been there, done that.
