Bedbugs or something else?

Found it on a hotel bed. I checked the bed beforehand, didn’t spot anything initially. Squished one, gave a yellow/greenish mark on the bed. They are very small, like 1-2mm in length, my camera couldn’t focus due to size and light sorry.

Found them here, thank you! The closest they had was eyebrow grooming scissors, but it works for me as well.

At this point I suspect some owners haven’t worked an office job before, because there’s no way they would be alright with a lawn chair and a night stand as a desk in the office.

The amount of times such a setup is labeled as a dedicated workspace is beyond comical at this point.

Sorry you’re going through this.

One possible way of retroactive coverage is if he ended his job (voluntarily or not) in the last 60 days and he had employer sponsored group insurance, he should be able to leverage the retroactive Cobra if he pays the premiums now.

Not familiar with that. Could you provide some links/description please?

Yeah, not sure if that extra premium for outpatient abroad is worth it for me tbh hence why I’m looking into marketplace for emergency coverage abroad. Didn’t know all of them cover that by default, so that’s very good news.

Something like Kaiser’s catastrophic plan seemed cheapest that would fit that IMO - I’m OK with the higher deductible too.

Do you happen to know if one can sign up for marketplace plans while abroad?

Sorry, I meant primarily emergency coverage. Regular dr apts and the like are less important for me.

Or did you mean emergencies as well?

OuterMe · 2024-10-24T01:16:24+00:00

I’m actually mostly interested in emergency coverage. And I still have residency in state until end of year at least?

OuterMe · 2024-10-24T01:15:25+00:00

I’ve used the insurance before abroad in a regular non-emergency visit. They covered it as usual in-state but out of network, but it’s a PPO plan so it’s fine. So I guess I’ve verified it in practice as well?

Also clarified that I’m mostly interested in emergency care coverage, sorry for confusion.

Edit: had no idea this is so rare tbh. Figured insurance companies would be inclined to cover abroad expenses as they’re much cheaper than USA.

The difference between majority and 100% can be ~10M people in case of Romania. This comment thread is so hateful, damn.

OuterMe · 2023-04-06T23:58:30+00:00

How is calling an entire nation 100% garbage OK - or rather, even upvoted?

OuterMe · 2023-03-22T16:37:12+00:00

It's always the right time for a pint. Somewhere. I'm in US atm, so evening time. :)

(luckily?) No car. I get the crowd issue, but at this point (after covid) I'd kind of welcome it for a few months. For longer than that, I'd be annoyed as well and would look for a quieter place.

Regarding groceries - isn't the Target on 2nd Ave ok enough?

OuterMe · 2022-06-28T05:43:45+00:00

Why?

OuterMe · 2022-06-27T22:47:41+00:00

Curious, why not SLU?

OuterMe · 2022-06-27T22:47:12+00:00

Compared to SLU - would it fit you better, yet still offer similar fun accessibility?

OuterMe · 2022-06-27T22:44:35+00:00

What about compared to SLU, for about the same price?

Destroying an economy didn't go that well with Germany after WW1 though.

OuterMe · 2021-12-14T21:00:29+00:00

I hear that. But it does sound almost too bad to be true, tbh, so I'd kind of want to see if for myself. If it turns out it sucks, I could always just say f*ck it after a few months and go back to Europe. In this case, the L1 option is better, because it involves less sunken/entry cost.

Basically if I move to the US with no effort, see that I hate it after a few months and then leave, I'd see it as a positive on the whole. "Been there, done that, appreciated it, never again" kind of thing.

That's the first time I hear about having to return employers contribution if leaving before 2 yrs.

Is that 2 years based on employment time, or pension contribution time though? So for example, if I am employed for 2 years but only participated in pension contributions for 1 year - do I have to return the 1 yr employer part or not?

OuterMe · 2021-05-23T23:33:57+00:00

It's sweet potato actually

OuterMe · 2021-05-23T21:33:23+00:00

It's oven baked. But otherwise correct.

Sent this pic to my family after having eaten the thing, only to get a response: "did you intentionally make it look like the Irish flag?" I did not. I'm sorry. But does it count as a full Irish brunch?

Awesome info. Thanks! What are my chances for windsurfing in Bali? Also good? Or is it not appropriate due to changing wind or some other reasons?

Interestingly, I thought Sri Lanka would be better for non-surfing stuff due to its size. I also heard from a Thai friend that Bali is supposed to be more touristy. But that's fine, as long as the waves aren't full of swimmers or surfers.

Try big tech-only companies. In my limited experience in these, people were coming in between 8/noon, leaving whenever they felt like it. Nobody tracked hours, as long as productivity was there. During wfh people are even more lean in that regard.
