I live in Denmark. I’ve met a few people who don’t speak any English but they’re not Danish :D

Also it’s a fun language learning trope here that it’s hard to practice because people will just reply in English if your pronunciation isn’t good/it’s obvious you’re not Danish. It’s not ubiquitous but it definitely exists sometimes

Just newly introduced to MK

Totally agree, but you really never know where would be insulated from everything

I mean surely in the 1930s Hawaii felt like an excellent place to be insulated from war…

All I have to add is be careful investing in a Roth if you plan to leave the US. Some countries don’t acknowledge it as a retirement vessel and tldr it’s a pretty bad investment if that’s the case

Cash travels, sell your non -heirloom stuff.

Doesn’t need to be a lawyer, relocation companies are amazing at this stuff. They can help with taxes, government registration, all of it

Totally. But “down pat” and conversational are a bit different.

US ex pat here:

I agree with a big decision, but I strongly disagree with needing the language down pat before you go. You should know some for sure, and mostly have a willingness to learn it. You’re going to learn so much faster while there than you will studying in the US.

Just need enough language to get by at first

Does… Does this person reach through the legs from the front?

And dont bring hair dryer!

I have a Raspberry Pi 500 running PiOS that works well like a computer to just play things in browser. No ads or anything of course. But also no casting from a phone or anything

Gas? It’s so much cheaper than the EU, even when it’s at its more expensive in the US

Take the thing you wanna do as long as it’s even kinda profitable.

With luck, you’ll do it for decades. Enjoying it is nice

The cool part is you can double and triple dip. Buy bitcoin, promise to make a US Crypto reserve, sell it during the boon, make your own memecoin and profit off that as well

Then maybe do it again when you maybe waste money on a Crypto reserve

Shooting the mailbox twice is a line that gets me laughing every time

Does Rockapella have any music in it? Cuz they made some bangers

Sure did. Repairable ones. I strongly prefer wired headphones and will keep using them as I can, and I ain’t buying earbuds.

But I’d rather not let perfect be the enemy of good. I am not giving up a cellphone, so I’d rather have Fairphone trying (ans sometimes fucking it up) than give my money to anyone else in the market.

Them not being perfect in my eyes doesn’t qualify as a hostile relationship between their corporation and me.

I have VERY few and I cherish them.

Fairphone feels great to me. I think My coffee stuff is the same (Profitec, Eureka Mignon); no app or wifi or anything, fairly available spare parts.

Why? Licensing stuff?

I feel you. I delete like half the comments I post and want to delete another half of what’s left before I do, for the same sounding reasons.

I don’t think people will be a dick to you on here, and if they are it won’t be well received by anyone else.

I’ve had a false positive walking around the other day. False positive is no big deal of course, but it’s interesting that I’m seeing a post about it now
