Hej fra København og jeg tror du har ret

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

Heh, no-brainer

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.

Yup! I think it’s definitely a play on love (愛, pronounced あい/ai)

あいあいがさ

Aiaigasa

Man i think B is cool

Nope. Motherboard SPDIF to (“dumb”) speakers. Can’t get the mobo SPDIF out to work in Mint.

I’m certain if I sink enough hours in I can figure something out but like 6 hours into troubleshooting this I decided I didn’t have the bandwidth to take 100% of my fun time away to do what feels like my job to me.

Man i wish Mint worked out of the box as well as virtually everyone on here says it does.

I am a former software engineer, and don’t want my home PC to be a hobby. I’m like 6 hours into trying to make my (simple) audio setup work on Mint Cinnamon and it’s intermittent at best. Never have even thought about it on Windows.

It is plug and play compared to Linux of old, it’s clearly come a long way. But it’s nowhere near as easy as Windows still, for anyone who isn’t trying to make this a hobby

Can anyone explain for someone really out of the loop? I don’t know this person or what trivago is

Yup! I left the US for Denmark and the public transit was a driving (pun intended) factor. We went from a bunch of vehicles (3 cars and 4 motorcycles) to bicycles and taking the train and I absolutely love it

I was working in pure software engineering and we had to attend a meeting/presentation about some use cases for it.

It’s one of things that any useful tech would never need. Do you think the airplane, the cell phone, the internet, any other useful tech you can think of needed brainstorming sessions for use cases? Hell no, they couldn’t implement their ideas as fast as they wanted because the uses are so obvious

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.

US ex pat living in Europe: 100% agree. I’ve actually not had a single person be mean or negative about where I’m from. Either jokes about how it’s going or more likely, curiosity about how things actually are.

It’s just like if you meet a Russian who left. I would hope you’d have the nuance to think “oh, they escaped, fantastic for them and I’m so sorry about their country” not “oh they must love Putin”

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
