    as a kid i enjoyed rolling up on my bike and pressing the “Send” button and then getting the bored bank teller response on the loudspeaker: “uh… thank you?”

    still sad that pneumatic tubes are not used for transportation.

      Yeah, I used to be pretty sure we’d all have personal pneumatic tubes to our homes. Not sure why that hasn’t happened, yet.
