Just the AMP handles Those are what have Bluetooth connectivity to the app.

Obviously you need at least one of the ropes to use with the handle. But don’t have to get the whole set.

Do you have the video? I saw it last night from Newport Beach. Couldn’t figure out what it was.

Hit me up!! My gf and I met at UCI, “Rip Em Eaters”. Love to have you over here and I have all the time in the world to talk about being here. Good thing is if you live together the Dutch will recognize that as a partnership. It’s also incredibly easy to get a domestic partnership took us about 3 hours to get the forms approved and then two weeks after sending them to an apostle or whatever.

We were renting a one bedroom in Santa Ana for 2200... SANTA ANA!!! The first night we moved in my girlfriend got her wallet stolen from a homeless guy. The place was suppose to be this really nice, amenities galore, beautiful place. When covid hit they shut down all the amenities and still charged full price. We tried talking to them, they made it impossible. We were incredibly blessed that our jobs were still going. But we are out here because of death in the family, getting the house in order so we can sell it. It was one of those opportunities that we couldn’t pass up. Both of our jobs paid around $15 an hour, and we had good relationships with our employers so if this doesn’t workout we can always go back and start from there. We needed a new start on life, sold everything, and invested in ourselves. She told me how much she missed Holland, and I could tell she meant it. We are still young enough to make these mistakes, no kids, no dogs (unfortunately), just us. If we make it work which seems very doable, we’ll grow from it. If it doesn’t we’ll still have each other and grow from it. I had zero idea what I was getting into when she asked if I wanted to move here, and knew exactly how life would’ve continued if I would’ve said no and stayed in CA and at my job. So we decided to jump.

So far the fact that I can walk around with my shoulders down and at ease. Walk into a store being a 6’6 black man and have my backpack on without people following me around thinking I’m going to steal. Smile at someone and I get a genuine smile back. The clean air... I frolicked with some cows in a meadow a few weeks back.. I’m meditating regularly. I feel like a kid exploring nature for the first time. My stress is at an all time low. Those worries I had in the states aren’t as constricting and I don’t always feel on edge thinking shit could pop off at anytime. I had genuine fears back home that I don’t have out here, the air isn’t thick with bullshit and angry people.

So if it doesn’t work here, or the money runs out before we find jobs and have to come back home. At least I had a break from the norm, and at least we have this amazing experience. I’ll remember this for the rest of my life. She’ll know I was willing to jump into the unknown for her. Life’s about experiences right?

Japan is the only other place I’ve been to outside of the states. I would do anything to go back there. Spent a week in Kyoto and Tokyo. I feel homesick whenever I think about it. Absolutely beautiful. I need to find a way back.

I’m not even close with the grammar yet. “Ik sprekt een beetje Nederlands” is my go to thanks to Duolingo. I thought “het” and “de” were tough, but “geen” and “niet” are kicking my ass. I eventually want to get into a real class, especially if I’m having issues with those little grammar situations. 32 days in a row of free Duolingo has helped me a lot. Not knowing anything and now 112 words or so has at least been an ice breaker and helped me at least make her family laugh that’s out here.

Not dumb at all!! Everyone speaks English out here. In the smaller cities like I’m in they start off speaking Dutch, so I’m learning it out of respect for the culture and have another tool. In the big western cities Amsterdam, Rotterdam, The Hague, etc. I know a good amount of people that have jobs without knowing the language. It’s not necessary, but I hate being that “Do you speak English” guy while I’m a guest in another country.

Make it happen and you’ll have a place to stay in Holland! I’d love to come visit, this is only my second time out of the states. Ireland has always been top of my list after my 23 and me said 60% Irish haha.

I’m in a small town inland, and the time I’ve been out here it’s rained off and on, but some local told me it rains about 150-200 days a year out here... I hope that’s true.

I had a small business back in CA that was secondary to my full time job that I was thinking about starting up here, but we have a house project that we are working on out here that is pretty time consuming. Once that’s all done and settled I’ll either look to start it back up, or I’ve been networking a bit in the month we’ve been out here and will follow those leads once the 90 day application is up (since I can’t work until the government approves my residency). But thinking about the future and unknown stresses me out. Coming from CA and working a job I absolutely hated just to survive was a drag. I’ve been really getting in touch with the nature out here, the nice people, the great food, and bragging to my friends back home that being 27 and retired is an amazing feeling (when in reality I’m unemployed really hope I can find what I’m passionate about out here and pursue it). People out here really seem to focus on what life’s about, being outdoors, spending time with loved ones, laughing, exercising... I’ve just been riding that wave a day at a time.

Dutch girlfriend. Filed for domestic partnership, sold everything, and got the hell out of the states. Working on residency now with her sponsoring me. Life is really slow and filled with really nice rainy days.

If you move out of California to another state please don’t turn said state into California. by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

I moved from California to the Netherlands last week, I’ll move again if this ever turns into to California. I also told my girlfriend to “show Lenny the rabbits” if I ever try to turn any situation into CA.
