Depends.

Maybe you're willing to chop some wood or help out in some other way in exchange for the food. Win-win for all.

Or then one of my children on watch duty shoots you with a .308 when I subtly signal them that the negotiations have stalled or you pull your gun out.

Maybe we both die. Those would be very uncertain times.

Like I said, the start would be the hardest part. Cars or any other motor vehicles would be out of the question.

f this scenario would happen during the winter, it would effectively block all the lesser known forest roads for vehicle use. Doing the trip with skis would easily halve my travel time, even with the supply sled and heavy backpacks. 30-50km per day would be easy, when one wouldn't have to go around all the lakes and rivers. We don't get much daylight here in the far north so travelling in the cover of darkness would be ideal. I can find my way in dark forests with ease.

In the summer, the trip would be much more problematic. My country has countless number of old, unmarked roads and forest paths that are usually suitable for mountain bikes. This would be my first option. The second would be crossing the forests by foot which would be very safe, but it would take time.

My relatives would take care of the farm until I would arrive, of that I am certain - and they are very capable of doing so. My family has stuck around those parts for hundreds of years and we aim to keep it that way in any scenario ;)

Hard to say.

The biggest challenge would be to get out of the city and make the trip to my family's farm safely. It would take about a week on foot/bikes using less known roads with all the supplies/weapons that would be crucial.

If I could get to the farm, rest would be fairly easy. I can farm, fish and and hunt. Heating works with wood. Fresh water is not a problem, nor is refrigeration with an ice cellar. My family has an old mill that we could restore to get flour and I think I could retrofit it to produce hydroelectricity in a year or so.

I'd trade access to electricity to get horses and other farm animals.

Almost every neighbour is related to me, so forming a defensive alliance should be possible.

I have the gear and the knowhow to make things work, it's the not-getting-killed part at the start that's hard.

Ransom's voice actor Jerry O'Connell is complimenting his wife, Rebecca Romjin, who plays Una.

I learned to read when I was 4 and I read A LOT.

Before I started first grade in elementary school I had already read everything in my parent's and grandparent's bookshelves. I was a weird kid.

I remember finding the Bible at my grandma's place and thinking it would be cool and epic like the books about Greek and Roman pantheons. It was one of the biggest disappointments of my life.

After I had read the book I knew that the whole thing is just a big scam.

This was almost 40 years ago and my opinion remains unchanged.

It's always a trap. Still, tummy rubs cannot be denied.

Discovery had actual god damn flamethrowers in the bridge walls. Missing circuit breakers are nothing compared to that horror.

More often than you'd think.

When I lived alone while studying, I usually kept only a tiny kitchen worklight on. My friends were always baffled by this when they came to visit.

Once my co-worker asked to borrow my favourite sunglasses. When she put them on, she was still for a moment and then went "MY DEAR GOD, HOW CAN YOU SEE ANYTHING WITH THESE ON?"

The only sunglasses that make sunny days outside enjoyable for me. And yes, they are very dark.

I'm like you. Bright lights - including daylight without really dark sunglasses - are painful but in low light conditions I can operate far better than the average person.

I don't know if anyone had this in my family before me, but I strongly suspect that my kids have inherited it from me. They are quite young, but we'll see.

Tähän saakka tämä olikin ihana viikonloppu.

Back in the days when Netscape Navigator went down, I switched to then-new Firefox.

I have had no reason to not use it. With mods Firefox even allows me to keep the UI looking exactly the same as it did with version 3.x, where everything is just where I want it to be.

Change just for the sake of change is pointless.

The swamps of Dagobah.

When my cat comes in, I always say "All hail the Cat King!"

EDIT: English not my native language. "Heil" was not intentional.

I've used a Nexus 7 mini-tablet for ten years. It runs on Android 6.0 and has been able to do everything I need from a tablet. It only started to slow down drastically this summer, I guess I'll have to flash LineageOS to give it a few more years of life.

I've had general anesthesia, it was just like falling into a deep, dreamless sleep.

If death is like that, then there's absolutely nothing to be afraid of.

Anyone pushing their religion to others.

I've had parents come to me and demand that their child would be excluded from classes involving sex education or something else they think is "wrong". Simple but strict "no" usually infuriates them.

I will teach every student according to the national curriculum and the matter will not be discussed further. Then the parents threaten to take this to the principal and see me reprimanded. Good luck with that, our principal is much stricter than me about going by the book.

Laittaisivat 4G:n edes jonkinmoiseen kuntoon ennen toimivien järjestelmien sammuttamista. Landella on 50-megainen Elisan 4G-liittymä etätöitä varten ja se on kesäkuukausina lähes käyttökelvoton kun mökkikansa striimaa HD:ta töllöihinsä. Aamukasin ja puolenyön välillä sisääntuleva huippunopeus on kilotavuluokkaa, yritä sitten vetää sillä Zoom-palavereita.

Ongelman on voinut tähän asti ohittaa vaihtamalla reittimen käyttämään 3G-verkkoa, jolloin nopeus hyppää samantien 4-5 megatavun kieppeille. Js sillä on pärjännyt mukavasti.

Mutta nyt sekin ilo loppuu ja pitää yrittää löytää operaattori jonka verkko pystyy tarjoamaan edes kohtuullisen murto-osan luvatuista nopeuksista.

What a surprising discovery.

Scandinavian, mid-40's. The vast majority of cars in Europe have manual transmission, in my country you can't even get a driver's license if you can't handle it. I prefer manual, whenever I drive automatic I feel like there's something missing.

I like to repair and restore broken vintage audio gear.

"Wow, this 60's Sansui amp and those 70's AR speakers are practically free! I already have all the tools I need to repair them, it'll be fun and cheap. When I get these restored, I won't need anything else ever again!"

How little did I know.
