It's a balancing factor that is supposed to make escaping to a secure location feasible. If zombies maintained full speed we'd basically have a force that is dumber humans with the ability to exponentially force-recruit and not caring about personal safety. This would be a very short struggle for everyone not physically separated from them at the start. It would be normies vs a growing crowd off their rocker on pcp.

On the other hand if you want to introduce any degree of realism:

1. if it's a disease a vast majority of infected will be dead within a week. Fill your bathtub with water and barricade the door - it's going to be pretty much over by the time you really have to leave.
2. If it's supernatural bs but decomposition still applies see above - you'll be down to facing skeletons
3. In both cases extreme climate is your friend if it doesn't affect you

Heh, I assumed you were talking about young children and your response suggests adults. In that case I'd say it's even easier - they already live their own lives and you have more flexibility to live yours the way you like and where you like. Travel is always a pain, but the bigger deal the trip is the more meaningful the visit.

Take them with you, especially if the move is a quality of life upgrade.

I'm not going to touch immigration, work permits etc, because it varies greatly - I'm assuming you figure it out. For skilled workers with work experience there usually is a fairly painless way to get all you need.

Continuing to work:

• your employer has to have presence in the country you are moving to, or
• they have to handle your employment through an intermediary, like deel.com, or
• you have to transition to independent contractor (potentially legally dicey if you are a contractor in name only)
• if your company doesn't support fully async work don't move more than 8 time zones away - that way you'll still be able to join some meetings

Moving is the simplest part:

• Lightweight & cheap option: pack a backpack/suitcase like you were going on long vacation. Buy plane tickets. Rent Airbnb at the location for a week and use that week to rent a place to live. This option is similar in cost to moving to a different city within a country with extra costs being $2000-3000 for travel and initial week at destination.
• Everything and kitchen sink is not much more expensive: 10k gets everything you own professionally packed, stuffed in a 20 feet shipping container, shipped across the ocean, moved through customs, delivered to your new address and unloaded (but not unpacked from boxes). 20 feet container is enough to take everything in a large, packed 2 bedroom condo including furniture.

At destination you will need:

• work permit / work visa
• local equivalent of social security / tax number / sometimes both - file a form, sometimes pay a small fee
• a business (if you are going independent contractor route)
• bank account

Vast majority of the info you need will often be available on the embassy website of your destination country.

Historical definition of decimated: reduce by 10%. Not to 10%.

Modern definition: reduce by significant amount.

I hate both the level cap and the fact grinding gets even more painful at higher levels..

There should be calls to toss him into a volcano and they should be getting serious traction

Planar magnetic headphones that start around $200 (monolith m1060) will do that

More expensive bourbon tends to be more interesting but not necessarily more pleasant to drink. In my case it quickly becomes too fancy for my taste buds around 2-3x the price of the cheapest one. Whiskey is a bit more complicated.

In my experience the vast majority of cheap knives can't hold an edge at all. The super budget stainless used is just too soft. At the same time I can find many in the $70-100 range that do considerably better in that regard - I sharpen them 3-4 times less frequently.

I prefer to spend a little more on the 1-2 that get the most use.

One exception: I wouldn't buy a noname filter claiming to e.g. be a hepa filter or having high MERV rating - I wouldn't trust a brand that might not be around long enough to be penalized for false advertising

I've just discovered a new game: start posting how you love windows, meat and Elon, place bets who will attack you first

A rehabilitated convict turned prison cleric actually

I was on a night train, alone in the compartment, when a door opened around 2am letting in a very tall guy built like a fridge. I'm above average in height and build and he dwarfed me. He had a face to match including a long scar going from his eye to the jaw bone. Think Marv from Sin City, but more grim and less charming.

He nodded, took off his coat and that's when I noticed a clerical collar.

What do you mean by bike rack: a car roof or hitch rack? A stationary rack/stand? Rear rack on a bicycle?

The problem with that is it would be an aluminum radiator, so you'd get electrolytic corrosion with copper blocks / fittings (vast majority of the market) gunking the whole thing up fairly quickly

I've got a redneck engineering version of this that is arguably better: 4 480x120x45mm radiators mounted on a generic 20 inch box fan - even at the lowest fan speed it has no problem keeping 2 high end PCs (daisy chained) VERY cool and is almost completely silent. I've added a frame from $10 worth of aluminium flat from a hardware store and used metal screws to attach extended feet directly to the frame of the fan so it doesn't fall over - I've only used a hacksaw blade and a drill to make it, I've lived in a condo at the time and that's all I've had available.

Even at double the price you still end up paying under $0.10 per shave - maybe $25/year - and that's if you pay full price. A small fraction of what you'd pay for cartridges or disposable razors.
