Busy! My whole week looks busy work wise, therapy, physical therapy, in office every day this week.

The “normal” kind of busy, which is nice to have sometimes

Ah so jealous, that sounds so cozy!

I’m in the EU. My partner and I both signed up and it took 3 days for her and 5 days for me to get the purchase email

Could suspend it by the harness to weigh?

Boost user: they don’t load (though the Preview does) but when I go to share or open in Firefox it works

Isn’t it the case in Danish, Norwegian, and Swedish?

I’m actually a tiny bit shocked apple phones haven’t gone wireless charging only and had no ports tbh

Bikes are low friction as heck, the rolling resistance of a wheel on a road is low with that small amount of weight.

So yeah, amount of machine per passenger (which in a car is often only 1 person) and amount of infrastructure it takes to support that per person

Ideally? As little as possible.

Their next sentence clarifies that there’s no link

Yeah, I’ve played randomizers of it, and it’s kind of just a game that you play the once. But I remember so much about that playthrough and the process of discovery.

What a beautiful piece of art. And the music!

Yup, the only thing I could immediately think to answer as well.

Automation engineer here:

Yup, this. My cybersecurity plan for the fridges would be “what the fuck why are they exposed to any external networks for any reason?”

Yes to everything you’ve said. The good news is that plenty of other people who have moved there from other places are in the same position to want to make friends. And there’s loads of clubs and activities and organizations to become a part of. All of which are great ways to make community!

But yeah it’s straight up hard often times. It gets way easier though. People are often surprised when I say it took a full year or a little longer to get settled

Yeah, echo that. Thanks so much for the curated experience. Lemmy feels a lot more full of interesting content with you cross posting some of the better stuff from the R place

Yeah! Open source wise you’re absolutely correct. It’s obviously not perfect (and I’m in Denmark, not the Netherlands) but there’s so much less tech dystopia here than the US.

Um yeah, there’s a lot to say! It’s hard for many reasons, logistics, distance from family and friends, cultural differences. I guess the main things are keeping a (gainful) job for a visa (I mean I had that pressure for money and healthcare in the US, so I’m used to it). Learning a language and culture. Dealing with dark winters. Being a foreigner at a time when many countries are being less inviting to them. But all the upsides are amazing and plentiful! It’s so worth, but man it’s not for the faint of heart

Um I’d say fairly hard, and I’m decently conversational in Spanish and my japanese is ~N4 level. It’s a really specific language (danish) so small mistakes make it basically unintelligible. But the actual language is very simple.

It’s not anywhere near as necessary as a lot of other places in the world though, since many people here speak English really well. But it’s definitely important for long term prospects here and anywhere else you are.

It’s a stress point among many when living somewhere besides your home country, for sure!

Wow this is beautiful! Really nice work

To move or to visit? Yes, either way

As someone who moved to one of them years ago from the US, it’s fucking sick: 10/10 recommend.
