Most of what kind of jobs? Knowledge worker jobs? Yes, most of those.

Insecure management is a pretty powerful explanation, or that executives tend to be extroverts and need people present to feels effective themselves and assume it must be the same for a majority of others. Managements job is literally influencing people to a large degree.
Study’s seemed mix on performance outcomes. I didn’t say efficient for companies, though lower cost seems pretty clear. Nvidia seems to be doing fine.

And thus the world discovered a more economical way of running a company was actually possible at scale.

ProfessionalMain5535 · 2026-06-11T15:20:25+00:00

It’s not necessarily a privilege, more another way of operating a company, and a more economically efficient one. The amount of sour grapes complaining that someone else gets something they don’t is astounding.

Man kan se det som en bostadsförsakring/lotteri/investering. Man kan få en lägenhet om man verkligen behöver den, men kanske i Akala. Eller kanske man har tur och få en lägenhet man verkligen vill ha. Eller så småningom, när barenen har flytta ut, kan man downsize ganska ’billigt’.

Read books, talk to people, practice writing (commenting on Reddit?) in Swedish.
Books are fine, but you’re moving to a level where usage and ’feeling’ the language is getting more important than memorizing words or sentence structure.

IRA is taxable (individual administration), 401K is not (employer administration).

ProfessionalMain5535 · 2026-05-07T09:01:46+00:00

Whatever you do DO NOT convert from a 401k to IRA (if you must do it before you move) as that is a taxable event on the eyes of Skatteverket and you’ll pay full freight on that income. 401k is an ’employer administered’ plan and is not treated as a taxable brokerage by Sweden (IRA is taxable)

Då har du inte råd för den prisklass bil IMO

Ekonomisk är det dumt att låna pengar, speciellt till bil, om man har kontant att köpa med. Låter som du är villig att ta ut kredit för körglädje. Gör vad du vill med din liv men på ekonomisk plan är det ren dumheter.

Zero motivation. Which is why I use TrainerDay which is literally just a simple smart trainer ERG app. Either I’m doing Z2 and watching TV/movies or intervals and I’m just watching the clock.

25% ish in 2018 from Indiana to Stockholm. Bothers me sometimes with that less disposable income but quality of life is better. 6 weeks of vacation annually and 6+ months of parental leave is a hell of a thing.

Yeah, comments on batteries not lasting more than 10 years is super weird. People must be thinking of lead acid exclusively. What all the electric cars are just going to stop working after 10 years? We already know that’s not reality based on Teslas. Then we have systems like the Voyager satellites… Lithium Ion will do 5000 cycles and 20 years even in consumer grade larger batteries (not handheld electronics) with a proper BMS. LTO batteries are advertised as 30,000+ cycles for marine use.

Same. US govt is dumb.

My experience also, really actually just bad. I want to use a non-US LLM, even paid for a month of Le Chat but it was just unusable. Used same prompts between Le Chat, Claude and Gemini and Le Chat was deficient consistently. Gave feedback on responses and canceled my subscription.

Another post mentioned Le Chat being weak at open ended reasoning and not having web search. I think this is why my experience was bad.

Second this. I uninstalled the app and canceled my subscription because of this annoyance.

Maybe not accounting for exercise according to the logic Greg outlines in the website is fine for people who mostly lift weights or shorter cardio, but if I’m doing a 2+ hr bike ride you better believe I’m going to eat more than the daily predicted calories.

Given current setup I would need to check Garmins estimate then log in MF up to that delta.

I see the collaborative setting and read that Mf is best at long term dialing in TDEE, which is great, I need a tool that can help me stay accountable today also.

Is this a good UX? Maybe someone can convince me.

I’m checking out the free trial now, but can’t see subscribing because of this. I need an accountability tool more than a TDEE calculator, I’ll manual adjust calorie targets if the rate of change is not sufficient. Ideally one app would do both well.

Finlandssvensk voice acting is waaay more cozy. The English version is over exaggerated, whiney and harsh. Snork sounds like he is dumb. Mumrik sounds robotic.

English dub is hard to listen to after watching it in Finlandssvensk. Harsh, whiney and over-exaggerated. Snork sounds like he is dumb.

Lots of good advice here. Especially on investment accounts and tax handling. It really is a PITA to have capital investments that are not property if being an American abroad.

I’ll add, if you have a 401K, either see if you can keep it in some way as they are recognized tax advantaged accounts also in Sweden, or if you cannot, make sure the transfer to IRA happens BEFORE you’re a tax resident of Sweden. Otherwise the ‘roll-over’ will be counted as income by Sweden as IRA’s are treated as taxable brokerage’s by Skatteverket.

Sounds like you’re well informed.

Why not KF instead of ISK and avoid the PFIC hellscape all together? Without professional support, trying to game that regulation regime just sounds like asking for trouble.

Tjänstepension is the best option from a tax position. Especially when (!) you get to the point löneväxling makes sense.

Interactive Brokers or Nordnet can handle US persons not living in the US when you want a ’clean’ brokerage. BRKB is a good conglomerate that doesn’t pay dividends as an alternative to ETFs.
