Exactly.

Would I like to be nuked? No.

Would I like to live out The Road or Mad Max (depending on your preference of atmosphere)? Doubly no.




The cynical truth, though, is that faced with that decision you'd still choose the second option.


Nope, I really wouldn't. I am highly pain-averse. And the point of being targeted by 50+ nukes is that I wouldn't even have to make that choice :-)


Weird, I've found a situation where my insane pain tolerance could help me. (From migraines)


With two kids, "the road" sounds tragically awesome. Okay awesome is the wrong word. But something. Blinking out of existence: ick.


I'm sure that can change your outlook. My first child is scheduled for a fall release, might change my answer.


Doesn't change right away, takes time. But somehow over the last 4.5 years it has. (Ask me before then, yeah absolutely blinking out is the way to go.) Then again, as always, ymmv. Congratulations.
