Oooo spicy, but also true. He's in a really clear headspace about this, especially given his age

Looks like a Direzza or some other mixed use tire

A last-minute SteamOS update has saved Doom: The Dark Ages on Steam Deck, and it runs surprisingly okay-ish in c/games@lemmy.world

Whew what a whirlwind I've had leading up to this while intending to play on deck

Pros/cons to legalize marijuana in a country in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world
[–] frank@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 week ago

I have a hard time imagining making an argument where alcohol and cigarettes are legal and weed is not. In terms of harm it does to people acutely and over time. I understand the position of "nothing like that should be legal" and "everything should be legal" even though I disagree. But I think if you choose one, weed might be the least problematic?

No, it's not easy to test for driving. But alcohol is and TONS of drunk driving incidents happen still. I think that's more a function of not having non-driving options to socialize over alcohol.

Ah man that's pretty disappointing. I probably won't buy it until then

What are you playing this weekend? 2025-05-09 in c/nintendo@lemmy.world

I'm still so deep in Blue Prince, hopefully maybe finishing it this weekend?

Gotta clear the schedule for some DOOM next week

Have you ever quit a job because you just can't stand your coworkers? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world
[–] frank@sopuli.xyz 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I've got the closest thing to a software engineering job I've ever had and it's similarly miserable. I have a coworker who I really like and mostly the rest are like you describe.

I can't wait to get out of this role and back to having a more normal job. Nowhere near you, but I've worked a bunch of places in the US and none have been like this

What's the worst "corporate speak/buzzwords" that you absolutely hate? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

Bro I have my first "big company" job after working smaller places for over a decade. This feels so real. I'm dying.

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

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
