I have done a bunch of runs each update and I do kinda wish I did what you did.

You're gonna be blown away by how much more there is already!

Are other countries as nationalistic/"patriotic" as the US? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 7 points 11 hours ago

No.

I live in Denmark but used to live in the US. I see a LOT of the Danish flag around (Dannebrog 🇩🇰) but it's a lot less nationalistic. The level of "I love my country" is a bit weird but it's the "it's the best country and all others suck and wish they were us" that's incomprehensible.

I think David Cross said something like this:

If you're in Europe and someone tells you how your country sucks and isn't free, you know they're American

If you want to build apartments and homes in Nashville, you are required to build parking for cars. Otherwise, the city council will kill your project. in c/[email protected]

Yeah, surely at least Manhattan isn't like that as well

Yeah I don't see those are negative honestly. The send missions inflated the numbers and I don't love that you can get locked out of stuff easily but it's totally fine

I loved FFTA and have replayed it multiple times. I've played FFTA2 some as well, which was definitely not as good.

I thought A was much better than the original. I didn't even know it was "not good"

Tunic is awesome and I wish more people talked about it in c/[email protected]

There's a LOT of toggles for difficulty/accessibility in there in case you get stuck and don't wanna grind, just fyi

I live in the EU but used to live in the US. In a nice part, too!

I lived like 400m from a small store. Never drove once. Insanely dangerous to walk on such a busy road with no sidewalks, no crossings, etc.

I walk a ton and bike ~80-100km/week now and don't think twice about it.

Ja, Molly White er fantastisk. Hun dokumenterer meget korruption på Crypto og på Internettet

Det tager mig en lang tid :D tusind tak!

Jeg flyttede her med min kone og vores 2 kats sidste år. Jeg ved ikke sige det på dansk so jeg vil sige på engelsk:

I thought I would be able to miss my home country when I left. Now I can only mourn that what I left doesn't exist anymore.

Jeg håber alle landes at lære fra USA.

At the Miami GP this weekend the F1 drivers took a lap in Lego cars (sopuli.xyz)
 

No clue the power train or anything. They said 400k Lego pieces to make the 10 cars

Jeg vil gerne øve mig (sopuli.xyz)
 

Hej!

Jeg har boet i København siden 2024 og jeg kan tale en lidt danske. Jeg vil gerne øve mig!

Can anyone recommend video games with at least decent Danish options? I hear the LEGO games are good. Any genre :)

Tak!

Looking for a book I've only heard of, not read (sopuli.xyz)
 

Hi!

Looking for a book that I know very little about. I heard from a Dan Carlin podcast a while ago about some stories compiled into a book. It was about people's memoirs of pre-WWII Germany, like 1920s and 30s, and specifically them trying to and sometime successfully leaving Germany for various other places.

Sorry, I have very few details about it. Any chance someone knows what it is?

Thanks!

US ex pat in Denmark; Roth IRA is poison? (sopuli.xyz)
 

Hi all–

Just had a tax meeting today in Denmark, and the Danish government like a fair few other governments, recognize 401k/trad IRA investments as retirement, but not Roths. This means you have to pay annual tax on the gains for your Roth, that you can't touch until you're 59.5.

This leaves us looking at pulling the money out and eating the tax/penalty. And my questions in case anyone knows are:

  1. is that money income in the US?
  2. is there anything particularly good to do with the money? Beyond the obvious of buying a house (here)
  3. how has no one told us about this in all the posts/threads, financial advisors, etc that Roths are fairly commonly not acknowledged and are absolutely terrible if you plan to leave the US?

Thanks in advance. Sorry for my grumpy tone... I'm certainly grumpy

Max gets a 1 place grid penalty for impeding Russell during Q3 (www.formula1.com)

It's a pretty solid impeding penalty, but I don't think I've ever seen a single place penalty be handed out for that.

Connecticut Kia Boyz - Channel 5 with Andrew Callaghan (m.youtube.com)
 

Pretty wild and fun mini doc with interviews on some kids stealing Kia and Hyundai cars. A bit sad, as his videos often are.

If you got to start all over .... (sopuli.xyz)
 

We're moving to Denmark from the US soon, and are going to be (of course) selling our 120V setup and buying a whole new one. It's pretty exciting to be able to re-shop for things.

We currently have a Profitec GO and a Eureka Mignon Silencio grinder. I'd say my big want that we don't have is having warm water from the espresso machine easier to dispense (without small grounds in it) to pre warm cups, to make Americanos.

Either way, if you had the opportunity to do it all over again, would you change anything?

Hi all!

We're very excited to move to Denmark soon as lifelong Americans. I have a good job lined up, and we're set on a place to live for a while.

Any advice from people who have done it, looked it up, had friends who have done it, etc? Just in general :)

(not) shipping gaming PCs (sopuli.xyz)
 

Hi Lemmy!

My partner and I are moving from the US to the EU soon. We both have gaming PCs but they're a bit older, so we're thinking it's a great time to sell them, taking the SSDs, and buying new components there to avoid shipping them.

Any suggestions surrounding it? Maybe there's a good way to pay a little and backup the whole SSDs to the cloud?

I know it's not strictly gaming related but it sorta is? Sorry if this is inappropriate for the community

Sprint race pushed back 20 minutes to allow for a short testing session with new track limits. If the sprint data isn't favorable, they will mandate a 3 stop during the race with 20 laps max per tire
