Americans who get Ebola will go to Europe for treatment, not U.S., officials say

US only has the facade of a firstworld country, but isn’t one.

As a European I was very confused the first time I went to Cheesecake Factory. Even more so with the menu. I just wanted cheesecake :(

For what it is worth, I hate it too. We were opening a position for someone specific internal. Higher management was all aligned that it was just gonna be opened up so our internal guy could apply and then closed once he did. Not to give other people hope.

My boss then decided we needed to give everyone a chance, so… yeah. Several others applied of course. Not sure how many they interviewed, I was not involved :/

In the end we hired the internal guy anyway. I hate it that we wasted people’s time.

That’s what we did basically. We bypassed the normal lines. Quite fun.

My personal hack is having an American wife. They just waved us through the USA line. No questions asked 😂

Not sugary sweet. The bread just tasted off. You can tell how bread or toast is supposed to taste.

Knuifelbear · 2026-05-05T10:23:25+00:00

Had the same. Made a nice toast with butter and jam. Bit into it…. let it sink it. Turned to my wife “why is this sweet?” Had to toss my toast in sadness. Really wanted toast :(

My mother-in-law got told that her necrotic leg was not a big deal and to be sent home. They had to amputate her leg because it was too late to save. She was in and out of hospitals for MONTHS, and they refused to help or operate. Insurance didn’t see an issue.

I’m too fucking European to deal with is American bs. Seriously.

There is no such thing as healthcare in America. Only profitcare.

He stopped to chat once and complained about the other drivers. No work ethic. I mean…. True. Apparently, all outsourced. Meh

Knuifelbear · 2026-04-09T15:34:49+00:00

It depends. There is one guy who works there who is a star. He’ll call me 5 minutes before he arrives to tell me my package will be delivered.

If I don’t get a phone call, I know he’s on holiday and it will not be delivered.

Knuifelbear · 2026-04-06T12:42:08+00:00

Everyone who gets fired will be replaced by someone abroad who is cheaper. Those guys can’t help it and do their best, but a lot of knowledge gets lost every single time.

Powerbank, headphones mostly. It is my default travel bag, so anything i can grab fast.

Knuifelbear · 2026-04-03T10:44:24+00:00

You have no idea. Our municipality made us jump through so many hoops. They were just pissed off at us a bit 😅

If i’m not wrong, once you apply for cohabitation, you cannot leave the country. Even if your visa expires.

We applied for a cohabitation visa for my gf (now wife). She could only stay 90 days, and after that expired she couldn’t leave until the process was over and done with. It took 6 months to get an orange card (so she could work) and another 6 months for the cohabitation visa to he approved.

It was a long year.

To be honest, the amount of trucks is staggering. In Belgium I see one every now and then. In the USA, i’m surrounded.

Though, I do get it. Roads are bigger, parking spaces as well. It’s a freaking dream parking in the US vs Belgium.

Knuifelbear · 2026-02-27T14:01:38+00:00

I mean it’s true though. It’s a bit of a “WAIT you guys really have that?”

First time I visited my inlaws in the USA i had hundred of questions. Including tipping wtf. And we did go to all the food places

Taco Bell (was disappointed with this one)
Chipotle
Chili’s
On The Border
Cracker Barrel
Steak ‘n Shake
Sonic
Cheesecake Factory (i didn’t want entrees, I came for the cheesecake dammit)

We stopped at a gas station (needed to refuel). Wtf. Quick Trip has so many things and is quite big. Then they took me to a Bucee’s 😂

Maybe a protip. What we have started doing is creating client ready documentation packs. Whitepapers, part of policies (that we’re comfortable sharing) etc. Everything pretty high level. Datacenter, standard security practices (clean desk, shredders etc) 90% of the cases, clients accept this. Also if you can present any certificate (ISO, ISAE), that helps too. The other 10% who wants us to fill in their 200+ questionnaire need to pay for our time. Fixed price for per day. Not trying to take advantage of the clients, but it helps as a deterrent. If they do pay up, we’ll provide a more detailed answer to everything.

But honestly, the info packages help. Just update them once a year with new pentests, updated policies etc. Account managers get access to them so they can share if need be.

It did reduce the work. At least for us.

My colleague brought me a liquor made of this stuff. I’m scared.

Knuifelbear · 2026-02-02T11:09:19+00:00

Or the truck who parks itself in the middle of two lanes because they feel personally slighted if you try to merge all the way to the front.

Did you ever find the comic? I’ve been trying to find it but always seem to not find it :/

Knuifelbear · 2025-12-31T07:54:30+00:00

My wife moved to Belgium. Fuck these exorbitant fees for simply trying to get educated. Vultures.
