  • Lawyer, friends/family, cloud storage, or safety deposit box all seem like viable normal options.

    To be extra safe. 6 hard drives (each with a copy of the files, and four stacks of Blu-ray disks (each with a copy of the files). Divide these into at least two yeti coolers (include a large silica gel pack just in case), and bury the coolers as deep as possible in the woods.


  • Scenario I’ve been playing with:

    Suppose you are kidnapped by two people. They tell you that one of them will shoot you and then let you go, but you get to decide who shoots. Person A says he will shoot you in the head. Person B says he will shoot you in the shoulder. Which do you choose?

    The more think about this the more I like it. Both persons are clearly awful and contributed to the situation. Both could offer better choices but refuse. Both are rather similar in outcomes. But one is clearly worse.

    Is it rational to choose to be shot at all? Is it rational to not choose the better of two alternatives?

    Tales from mage support:

    Mage: how can I help you

    Lord: I was scrying local ladies when all the sudden my crystal ball started screaming that I have the pox and need to throw 100 gold under the bridge to cure it.

    Mage: … tell me you didn’t throw gold under the bridge

    Lord: …

    Mage: …

    Lord: so anyway you repollished the crystal last week so this is your fault. Fix it.
