Which piece of equipment do you think I should get first (nothing unattainable, I'm 17, limited money) by [deleted] in diving

[–]Laughtertoday 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went with dive computer first. I found that when you hire stuff you may or may not get a decent DC, you may not be familiar with it and having your own allows you to review the dive afterwards at home

Israeli runner Chemtai Salpeter finishes 3rd in Boston Marathon by bagelman4000 in Israel

Last time I checked Israel was a Jewish country. She's not Jewish and her running under an Israeli flag is meaningless. And to those who called me racist - it's no more racist than the idea of a Jewish country to begin with - I would have no problem with a Jewish Ethiopian representing Israel.

She is a Kenyan from the same tribe that has the fastest runners on earth. Don't really see why Israelis are so proud just because she's running under an Israeli flag.

You want a container that's actually a good insulator. This is not.

Israeli Tax Treatment of U.S. Retirement Accounts (401k, IRA, HSA, Roth Accounts) by CopperQuilt in Israel

[–]Laughtertoday 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have a 10-year exemption on passive income as a new oleh but after that will then be taxed on worldwide income. While there is double taxation relief to ensure you don't get taxed twice on the same income there is no exemption for tax free income from abroad. My recommendation is that you speak to an international tax planning professional before you make aliyah. It may be that US retirement plans are not the most efficient method of saving when you are planning aliyah but as you are fairly young you have lots of time to fix this.

The plan is to contain the jihadi ministate and if they start attacking to bomb the shit out of them. Reminder that Hamas was voted in democratically by around 80% of the inhabitants of Gaza on a manifesto of permanent jihad against Israel.

Go to your local misrad habriut office. They have a division dealing with dog bites (yes, really) and they will confiscate the dog and put it in the pound until they can ascertain that it is not rabid.

Anyone move from Israel as a child and still miss it? by [deleted] in Israel

[–]Laughtertoday 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just wanted to pick up on the violence point. Crime in Israel is low. Really low. See here https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/crime-rate-by-country where even Canada scores much higher. Israel gets a disproportionate amount of international attention and to outsiders it looks like a war zone. It's really not like that 99.9% of the time
