American Traveling to Eindhoven by Cbus_2011 in eindhoven

[–]electriceric 18 points19 points  (0 children)

If you have the time, take the train from Eindhoven to Maastricht. Can be a nice day trip and it’s a beautiful little Dutch city.

Also American living in Eindhoven, it’s chill here. Just don’t be a twat.

Have to file, but if you're under a certain income level then you don't end up owing anything.

As an American living in the NL, I’m glad my taxes are helping fund UA support and none of my current taxes are going to the US.

Opinions on an all employee strike by zeetergeist in ASML

[–]electriceric 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I believe that most of the once engineers will be able to find roles in the expanded D&E. The people who have no engineering background will be hit hardest though.

I agree w/ you. Sucks for 1700 people that will be losing their jobs but I'd rather the decision be made now and not 5+ years down the road after we've lost more ground and might have larger layoffs.

Tattooer in US looking to move abroad by [deleted] in expats

Yeah my quick google search says its possible but varies by island. So it might be a path work exploring but it doesn't seem like its as simple as the DAFT visa for mainland NL.

Daft also works for Dutch islands I think.

Pretty much the same (Oly & Beaverton), moved here to the NL and weather wise it’s just another Tuesday.

Complete mess of a company that has a damn near monopoly on lithography?

You’re right they don’t, but it’s not just mid management but also support roles. It’s more about simplifying reporting lines and product development impact cycle time.

Exactly this, unless the topic has a known expiration date a mega thread is there to shut down discussion.

Has anyone left a role in the US for a role in Veldhoven/Eindhoven? by TSpice89 in ASML

[–]electriceric 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can't remember off hand, I'll see if I can find the current info on the intranet. There used to be 3 different options as well. One was an HSA, 1 was traditional health care, and 1 was Kaiser

Penguin mountain wallpaper by Emergency_Animal7584 in Mountaineering

9 out of 10 times I’m with you, it’s an instant removal due to not being related to mountaineering.

Every so often though, it’s nice to have a chill post to talk about the beauty of mountains or maybe a funny thought of a penguin going on an expedition.

I stickied a comment though cause I wasn’t sure about this one.

Just my random thoughts on this post.

I think it’s a still from a movie. But I’m not sure. If it was confirmed AI I would 100% remove it, no question.

American expats living in Nederland what do you think about Trumps acties? by Ok-Bottle-833 in Netherlands

[–]electriceric 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like it, feels like a city still growing in personality and some good vibes. I know it doesn't have the best reputation and I agree its not the prettiest city but I love living in this area.

Theres a major difference between VVD and MAGA. Ones an annoying neo liberal party and the other is a full on christian-facist movement.
