This is the best response of an xkcd comic I've ever seen

It is, which is only 2,500 Calories (like, the ones on food)

It's a crappy system where kcal and Calories are the same thing even though they sound like they are off by a factor of 1000

I mean it is pretty damn unlikely these days but it could be a stick

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.

As an engineer, I definitely could think of a lot of cool ideas that'd fix problems if I just had unlimited energy or infinite resources.

However, since I'm not a CEO I don't get paid for said "what ifs"

Agree, people in Copenhagen are pretty relaxed about their commutes most of the time here, especially on bike. It helps that many drivers are also sometimes cyclists and pedestrians, so they understand it.

The real fear is people on hotel bikes. That's a real mixed bag

Where's my 4th wave of ska??

Yeah, I actually don't mind the 10s as much. It's not that many to remember. But it's quite fun to complain about :D

As someone learning danish now, yup this is hell and the worst numbering system. And no, other Scandinavian countries don't do this shit.

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

Surely this comes from the American, not European point of view, yeah?

 

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!

 

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

 

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 :)

 

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
