(If any selection puts you in a different country, assume you’re granted the right to live and work there.)
Does it also compensate for the difference in taxes and language?
North: Germany. Higher taxes, but the language is close enough
West: Sill in Switzerland. But they speak French. No thank you.
South: Italy. Higher taxes and they speak Italian.
East: Lichtenstein or Austria. No idea about the taxes, but the language is close.
If I had to move. I would go north. At least I would be closer to some large cities.
iiandyiiii has always puzzled me. After several years I realized that it might be incorporating roman numerals (so “2 andy 4”) but that’s just a guess. I probably still parse it as “2 andy 4” mentally.
Nope. Let’s say your initial moving expenses are covered, but apart from that you’re on your own as far as learning the language and finding a new job (or commuting back to your old one).
Some probably did; but most likely not the ones with severe nearsightedness and klutziness to start with, and if I’d survived that I think my heart would have gotten me by now without treatments only recently available.
However, I picked ‘gathering’.
I don’t feel like working out what’s exactly 62 miles from me in each direction.
Hmm-- people have conveniently provided ways to make it easy. Maybe I will, maybe I won’t. Maybe I won’t in any case pinpoint my exact location on a public message board; though I could as many have reply in generalities.
EyeAndyEeeey. To the extent that I hear it at all; which isn’t really hearing it, but I do find it a hair easier to read names I can pronounce (or think I can pronounce) so there is some connection in my head to pronunciation.
Do I also get a farm whereever I’m going, at least if I choose a location in farm country?
If so, then probably not south, as the soils are even poorer, I think. Though maybe by the time you get that far south they get better again.
(If not, I really don’ wanna move. Not that I do anyway. I know this place, and I’ve got money in it, and I’ve got good neighbors.)
I just recently moved to a new city. Looking at @Maserschmidt’s mapping tool, I see that 100 km east puts me in the middle of some sort of marsh, 100 km west puts me in isolated farmland, 100 km south puts me exactly on the US border, and 100 km north puts me in the lake resort area of New Iceland. So north was an easy choice, helped also by the fact that I spent several years learning Icelandic.
Up until December I lived in Vienna. 100 km west would have put me nearly at Amstetten, whose main claim to fame these days is probably Josef Fritzl, so no thanks. 100 km north would have put me nearly in Brno, but I don’t speak Czech and would rather not learn it. 100 km east is in rural Slovakia, also a no-go for language reasons. 100 km south is pretty close to Szombathely in Hungary, which I suppose would be OK. (Better would be 100 km southwest, near Győr, which at least has a fast connection to Budapest.)
The caveman/cavewoman poll asked what you would be doing right now. At the time I responded to the poll, I was watching TV. I figured sitting around the fire, listening was the caveman version of watching TV, so I picked that option.
Using that mapping tool, I realize my estimates were kind of far off in some cases. North puts me quite a bit farther north of Nevada City than I thought, and in fact puts in the middle of Tahoe National Forest. East does put me in Eldorado National Forest, so I was right there. South puts me a little south of Stockton, actually closer to Manteca, but I wasn’t that far off (still no thanks). West actually puts me a little short of wine country, and actually puts me pretty much right on the western shore of Lake Berryessa, near some campgrounds and what looks like vacation homes. I think I’m changing my choice to west.
