Fair, it’s too general to say. More specifically, pulling out because the market is down can just as easily lock those losses in when you’ll recover them by simply waiting. Sure if you can cut your loss then do so, especially with stop loss. But if you’re just using index funds there’s less (or worse) of a point in reacting to the market. So it doesn’t really apply to people who are more hands on.

$100k? Suspicious, not sure the cybertruck is the investment you think it i/s…

And not sell the fall

True for some. Others specifically exploit your empathy by centering it on themselves, red herrings, or subverting the action it motivates.

I would joke about Al Gore but he’s definitely too far left

You need to do it regularly for several months at least to really understand the culture and determine if it’s right for you.

That’s why you get your cult followers to give you all their money, so you can afford lawyers, they can’t, and the other followers can be readily coerced into placing social pressure on any dissent. This is about YOU, the work is about YOU, everything is about YOU and it always has been.

There are lots of IT/SysAdmin on Lemmy so their work will have to switch. I think their concern/sentiment gives others the impression that personal PC owners will also have to switch.

They act like the computer’s just going to stop working or something… People are going to use win 10 out of support for years.

E: specifically note, please, that i said “act”. I’m aware they state it will keep working in the little FAQ.

Having learned a language where dialect often means you can barely understand each other if at all, I’m more inclined to consider Mexican vs Castilian an accent much the same way as English’s American vs Australian/british/etc…

Old growth doesn’t work like this. Logging companies are constantly trying to take bigger swaths than they’re allotted because there’s no active enforcement leaving orgs like BARK OUT et. al. To do the ground truthing and sue in court, often after the damage is done.

Often logging companies want this wood because it’s much higher quality than second growth. The dense wood is a higher grade and sells for a higher premium. If you’ve seen wood in an old house versus modern you’ll notice the ring structure much more tightly packed and less knotting. It’s much stronger.

Here’s a maps image of old growth in the mt. Hood wilderness:

And here’s the Oregon coast range: notice the patchwork? That it’s roughly 1/3 unplanted clear-cut now?

The first image is 100% old growth in a national forest. The second is 0%, in mostly privately owned land owned by logging companies or less so under BLM/FS. Patchwork logging doesn’t sustain biodiversity. Replanting is almost always done with a monoculture of trees that make logging easier in later harvests. These second growth forests hold less water, sequester less carbon, and are less drought resistant. This in turn makes them more prone to wildfire, flooding, erosion, and desertification. They are also less food abundant so they can’t sustain as much wildlife.

Most of western Oregon looks like the second image, and the old growth is only 10% of the original area nation wide. We don’t need to log old growth at all. There’s plenty of second growth. Just manage it.

E: structure

Yeah i guess my point is not to make assumptions here. Originally i wasn’t thinking EU specific. It can just get sticky if you live in eu and have a job based in US.

It may have been a covid related restriction.

Yep. Left signal when entering then right signal when going to the 3rd exit. The left signal means you’re planning to continue in the roundabout which would be wrong if you’re exiting.

Car position is also a thing. Move to the right side on exit to block traffic behind.

Also on entry: left side of lane turning left, center for straight, right for right.

Idk what the rules are in the US for roundabouts. From what i recall there really aren’t any you’re just expected to use them without training and not crash.

Edit: not sure i would necessarily apply these in the US. You need to drive extremely defensively because someone WILL misinterpret your signal cause they don’t know what’s happening either.

You have 90 days visa free to be in the schengen area(most of EU).

It may be better to apply for your Visa in host country rather than through a US consulate. It’s often much faster, and there’s no third party which imo is safer.

*It’s a one-way trip for your pets. At least last i looked into it the US doesn’t allow you to import house pets. So changing your mind will mean losing your pet. Speaking of bringing pets, that process is insane.

You WILL get homesick no matter how awful you feel about the US, it will take at least a year to go away.

The anxieties you bring with you from living in the US will take years to resolve.

You’ll need to get good at saying where you come from by referencing either New York City or LA.

FOR DIVERS:

Divers license discerns between automatic and manual transmission, trailer weights, and motorcycle displacement. There’s probably not a direct exchange so you’ll need to research for your discussing country. Your US license may be valid for a limited period after establishing residence.

use your turn signals at roundabouts. Yes, if you’re exiting left, signal left, if you’re exiting right, signal right. Always signal right when you exit. (Opposite for left hand driving) Optional if you’re diving a BMW.

Priority roads are a thing and right of may be different.

Right-turn on red may not be legal.

*Edit: the pets restriction may have been a covid era thing. Corrections

There’s also an income exclusion under $125k/yr.

All of this really depends on the tax treaty the host country has with the US, if it has one. If there is none, or the treaty doesn’t credit in this way, you could be double taxed.

This is a complicated tax situation. Taxes on salary tend to be based on place of employment. So if you’re working for a US company you’ll need to look into what tax treaties your country of residence has with the US, because your US employer will likely have to withhold taxes and provide a W2. Your host country will ask that you report your income. If the treaty allows, you can claim tax paid in the US as a credit. The reverse is often true in these treaties.

This will often have consequences with things like pensions, Holiday pay, etc… For example, if your country has a lot of mandated vacation you may either not have that benefit, or your company will have to conform to the country’s rules which could cause friction, especially with American companies.
