    Wow good question. In sci-go/ fantasy universe teleportation is the answer but in real world it will be extremely expensive and difficult.

    I do not like being refunded twice for something. Not that I do not mind the extra funds, but I get confused about what to do with the extra funds.
    I recently did an order online with a gift card I won at a contest. Two items could not ship so they said they would refund me. When I asked if the refund would be on the original gift card or a new one, they put the funds back on the original gift card. The next day they sent a e-gift card for the same refund. I called them up to ask what to do and they thanked me for being honest and said I could keep both gift cards. That store has a $80 (or it might be a $79) dollar minimum for free shipping. If I return the pants that are the wrong size, I will have enough to do another order with free shipping.
    I just find that stuff confusing and that makes it frustrating to me.

    I hate it that I over think minor details in my story but feel like I am creating a bigger plot hole without knowing it.

    The way historians on BBC FOUR over-enthuse. It’s just a fucking caveman drawing!! And not a very good one, I might add!

    The way the BBC has an article criticizing the Witcher Netflix series, as if the BBC has put out anything even remotely halfway decent in the last ten years...

    I’m amazed how many people follow their genealogy to kings and queens.
    You wonder if Benedict Arnold or the Sherrif of Nottingham had offspring?

    My heritage went back to Rollo the Viking, yet there is not one Scandinavian cell in my body (23 and me mostly Irish).

    I give zero credibility to those genealogy test.

    I once had a guy say he was related to Elizabeth the first, you know, Elizabeth the first, who had no children! As far as We Know. Either way, I highly doubt it this guy was related and I even said that to him

    What a coincidence, I'm a descendant of M&M the Roman (he's the red one).

    I descend from a guy who was bodyguard to some quasi-famous warlord, apparently. He's supposed to have died in a fire. This would have been sometime in the 1200s. Also I'm related to some guy who allegedly sailed with Columbus.

    Descended from and related to are two different things. You are related to your uncle, but not descended from. He and E1 could have had a mutual ancestor. Which, in the grand scheme of things, we all do.

    Oh, are you kidding me? I love boats. The buoyancy, the sway... No, I reckon this must have been some other guy. Some seaworthy guy.

    Sunny days. I don't know why they annoy me but I always feel better when it is cloudy and dreary out. And sunny days in the winter annoy me even more.

    Please don't use that word, it gives me horrible flashbacks of Coke bottles and Aliens named Hal

    I'm sorry, my friend. I'll strive to substitute "floaty" wherever I am able.

    Yeah, I... I don't know where you live, but the winters we have up here, I tell you... You won't be bothered by any sun, at the very least.

    Yeah, I was just about to say if you like 'cloudy and dreary', move to the NW of England and you'll be as happy as a pig in shite!

    I see you're from Norway, I am not sure exactly what kind of weather you have there but it sounds like I would like it. I don't like the heat or humidity either. I'm in the US in Connecticut. We have the full range of weather conditions. And summers seem like they are nothing but one humid, sunny day after another.
