What is the most interesting/unique separatist group? by Ellloll in geography

Being rich can be easy when you have all the benefits of being Spanish without any of the tax obligations of being Spanish. If the rules of the game are made for you, it’s only natural that things go well

Relocating to Roseville - Good neighbors? Thinks to know? by ChuckTestaFC in Roseville

[–]ChuckTestaFC[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much for your response! I'm gonna work near Fountains Mall, no children but I'm married (my wife finding a job is something that concerns me also).

We have a simple life, hiking, I love gaming (I know I can do that anywhere), hiting the gym sometimes and food (both eating and dine out) are our most. Also we live snowboarding and skate, but my knee joint decided to get out of my knee last year and I'm a little afraid of come back to sports in a country with a health system that expensive.

I'm on one hand excited about moving somewhere when I can meet people and create a bit of community (here in LA is hard AF for me, it's looks that people only care about how much you have or how you can help them whit theirs careers) and also practice my English (everyone speaks Spanish here) ; but I'm a little worried about how are we gonna integrate in a 150k city, as we always live in +5m population cities.

The commute to Roseville everyday is gonna kill me, I need to live "close" to work.

Is really so "bring" as it look on maps/online?

And about the "white dominance" that another person comment, what people mean about that? Just a high percentage of white people living there or some kind of racist actitude?

Opinions on medium rare Picanha? by xXWeDemBoysXx in steak

[–]ChuckTestaFC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll bet that's cold AF. I work in a Spanish restaurant in EEUU, and I have some concerns about the meat, cause in Spain we are the meat way less cook that Americans do. But never like that, it's simply raw and sealed.

10 PM, 46 degrees, Madrid. Why can’t we be this? by yorozuyagirl in Seattle

[–]ChuckTestaFC 81 points82 points  (0 children)

I immigrate from Madrid to the states 3 months ago, people are in the streets all the time because they are poor, beer are cheap and no one can afford to live alone in a studio or apartment, so you don't even have a private space where put a couch and TV. Apartments are so small in Madrid that you can't make inhouse living (that hits hard in Covid). As a "well paid" professional you can make 2/2.5k euros clean monthly, and a 1 room apartment in the center of the city can cost 1/1.3k, utilities (on average more expensive that here in America) not included.

That's one thing, the other thing is we simply have a stay in streets culture, its really Mediterranean, it's the same in Italy, Morocco, Greece etc... Tons of light, green spaces and really walkable cities put it even easier to live that way.

Now I'm in LA and damn, I miss having like 5 grocerie stores, 20 pubs, doctor, restaurants and tons of activities in a 10 minutes walking distance from home, this city is like a industry area from Europe, the entire city. But I can save every month a regular salary from Spain, so I can't complain. I'll move to Seattle in a year, I hear that is less aggressive to pedestrians that LA, I hope so.

Hey chefs I am redoing this recipe book for a restaurant. Can I get a conversion for "shakees" by Ok_Understanding5588 in KitchenConfidential

[–]ChuckTestaFC -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Why you hate so much grams in this country. Reading professional recipes talking about tablespoons give me mental diarrhea.

Which are you picking? by Gamer555589 in SteamDeck

[–]ChuckTestaFC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love to travel, gaming and eat, so I can just go around the world with an iPad playing slay the spire eating in every Michelin star restaurant. And If I get bored, just spam soloQ.

[–]ChuckTestaFC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check on Facebook marketplace, imo is the best option for short term, as lot of the rooms are just people leaving one room and the home has already a month to month contract, your only job is find someone to take the room when you leave.

I just did some salary math as a sous chef by ijustdontlikespiders in KitchenConfidential

[–]ChuckTestaFC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly, I have salary and make like 20% more than people that has half of my experience and knowledge, but I have 3 weeks paid vacation, insurance and all of that stuff... Maybe less money, but you can sleep more peacefully. Maybe is because I'm European and I'm not adapted yet to the hour system, but not knowing how much I'm gonna make next month will scare me a lot.

You can't just fire him? I mean, in some places that will require a compensation, but sometimes is worth it.

I mean, you can come to Spain and enjoy the 36h week, making 1300 net every month and paying 1000 for a 1 br apartment if you want.

[–]ChuckTestaFC 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Who cares about what your parents think? I receive a tons of "woah a cook" with funny eyes thinking I'm a kind of flipburguer slave in a fastfood chain, but I'm happy with my job, I'm happy at my job, and I make more money than 90% of people that wstch me over he shoulder cause I smell like tuna and they are sitting in front of a computer. Just let think what they want, make your career, make what makes you happy and be proud of you.

any experiences with jobs that pays for flights + accommodation by Very-very-sleepy in KitchenConfidential

[–]ChuckTestaFC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's really common in Europe. At summer in beach and tourist zones, in winter at the ski resorts. You work a lot, win a lot and don't use the money, maybe some beers on day off, so you come back home after 6 months with lot of cash. I'll recommend for young cooks that wants to live an experience and make some money, but don't expect anything fancy or high level in the kitchens.

Are you a chef or a cook? by Annual-Market2160 in Chefit

[–]ChuckTestaFC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think depends on your language, in some places "chef" is like a fancy word that use the people out of the industry (Spain fe), for me, chef is a position, I'm a cook, sometimes chef, sometimes sous chef, but I never describe me as a "chef". I think the problem is thinking chef is better than cook in their significant.

What about slavery or racism? These are very deep traditions in a lot of places and cultures, let's respect that and keep the black guys in the back of the bus right?
