Lol it was a good time, just not really worth feeling like a junky. They’re actually pretty harmless. It’s just nitrous like they used to use as an anesthetic.
HAHAHAHA I was a child once 🤣 it’s not a taste you forget. It’s not bad per se. Just unique, wouldn’t particularly suggest it…
Was in another dimension without other drugs. It was a good experience to check off the ‘drugs i want to try before i die’ list but not worth coming back to.
That’s my experience with skateboarding. With skateboarding it’s pavement. Longboarding was fine, fun way to commute.
I like skiing, if you fall it’s just snow, but learning as a teenager or adult sounds miserable.
I had the opposite experience. It just gave an earwax taste, killed my beer buzz, and the next day i felt like a spike had be driven through my skull.
Same result, never touched it again.
Oh yeah that one’s intense. Definitely not a good one for a first trip lol
The US is on the exemption list in your linked article. I have corrected the time period, thanks!
Cool! Just file your tax extension by april 15 if the automatic 2 month extension is even slightly inconvenient or pushing the UK’s tax return provision date… It’s no questions asked and gives you until October.
The FBAR is also super easy if not slightly tedious depending on your foreign banking situation’s complexity.
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.
If your company, for which your boss is an agent and therefore part of, is ASKING YOU to get this cert, then the study is labor done as a part of you position. You need to be paid for this work.
If the company is only making it a prerequisite for advancement, and not asking you to get it per se, then reimbursement is reasonable.
If you happen to have a Union then check with them.
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
Seems like it only matters if your taxable income is over ~$130k? So with foreign income exclusion that would mean you’d have to make over ~$250k/year for the 5 previous years.
At that point you can just pay your problems away…
There’s also an income exclusion under $125k/yr.
If you pan to keep and use your passport*
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.
