Yeah, but I’m with the OP here. It should cost significantly more tax wise than it does to disincentivize it

Yeah, oven make some bacon and it’s great to crumble on pizza for something like this. Could make chicken for the same idea too!

If you look up cooking or baking recipes and get American ones you’ll see oz a lot, I have found

Not sure where you’re located, but if you’re in the EU you can consider Fairphone for an extremely repairable phone instead. The 6 doesn’t have the specs of proper flagships, but it’s quite a step in the ethical direction in my opinion.

Where’s my 4th wave of ska??

The steel soul is getting 100% without dying once. 35 hours for 100% is pretty doable with a route planned and some practice IMO

I don’t think the Speedrun is close to as hard as the steel soul 100% one

The average reddit user is a bot

Big In Bruges energy

I thought Bruges was super fucking cool, but I love the idea of hating on it like the movie does

Headphone jacks. They certainly still exist but every device I owned that made sounds had one in 2015, no longer the case

Yeah, I actually frequented a sim center when I lived in the US. They ran Rfactor2 but it got me doing some iRacing too. It was great fun! I can’t believe how real a lot of it felt. Honestly except for elevation not translating well it was an insane practice tool

Yeah, only IRL for a bike. If they made a really legit sim rig I’d probably have to seriously consider it!

Ah cool! After i raced irl for like a decade I sim raced for a while. It was super fun! I’d like to get back into it someday. It’s a lot better on the wallet and body than IRL stuff (especially motorcycles).

I think it helps, but it probably is more of a selling point and aesthetic than an actual help on the (agreed) biggest selling point number.

It’s one of those decisions that someone up top probably made and has these kinds of stupid consequences of moving fast and breaking shit. I wouldn’t be upset if it had to go to a normal one

Source on that? Hobbiest aerodynamics nerd and big into F1 (and did a lot of liquid system design engineering in a previous job). Genuinely curious!

My gut feel is that a half kilo of unsprung weight (those ridiculous wheels), tighter fenders, or a bit of tail teardropping would go so much further than anything door-handle-wise. It’s certainly helping promote flow attachment, but you’ve got poor flow rates there because of the wing mirrors anyway

No EU passport for me sadly, just a visa. If I could get one I super would want to.

We is my partner and I. Very much a team effort.

great question. I think giving yourself some grace has been a hard but helpful part. Like you will probably not have the bandwidth for keeping the house as clean, the working out, the self improvement, etc etc. Just even giving myself extra time to go to the store and extra space to make boring or meh meals has helped.

Beyond that, all the stuff you’d expect. Putting yourself out there. Listening. Money never hurts (and can help fix certain problems). Friends (from afar and close) are huge.

I began volunteering shortly after arriving and it helped make me a friend circle. I love hanging with them and already can’t wait for Thanksgiving here!

Hey, I did that!

Engineer in my 30s. We packed up and left the US after I got a job in the EU (pre 2nd trump). It’s been awesome!

Super hard some days, lots of learning, cultural norming, work, job problems, language learning, social circle building, but it’s very fulfilling and I think it’s a better lifestyle fit for us.

Highly recommend it if you can swing it. And if you do, jump all in.

Man i think B is cool

I’ll assume the gym membership part is some large chain US gym or something? I couldn’t disagree more.

I have a membership to a smaller gym and it’s a great deal in my opinion. Cancel anytime, no deals, no discounts, just a price and access to a facility. It’s one of the most pure and simple subscriptions I can think of.

It’s good! Really good. Fucking hard sometimes. I’m lucky enough to do it with a lovely partner but you can feel so much more alone than you ever have imo. But it’s very rewarding and lovely. It’s nice to be able to choose a little of cultural and political stuff that you really identify with rather than whatever you got originally

Yeah, of course there’s a lot of opinions about it. I’ve even met a guy who has never left Continental Europe who is pro Trump. but for the most part it’s people deciding to not vacation there anymore.

People from all over are very welcoming of us. I’m always prepared for some pushback of “fucking Americans” and it just never comes.

Tak! Der er virkelig dejlig at være her :) vi elsker Danmark og kan rigtig godt lide vores anderledes livsstil her

US ex pat who lives in Denmark (before this absolutely dumpster fire of an administration).

That’s how I see the news here too, generally a bit tired of the US’ shit and pretty keenly aware of some of the consequences.

Everyone I know tries to go there and buy from there as little as possible, which is a nice effect
