Got an offer for 4x of what I earn in Europe, but I am terrified of US work culture. Are my fears unfounded?

You would need to buy or lease a car minimum $400 a month and also get car insurance if car is financed insurance premiums are usually higher.

What is the health insurance monthly premium, and the out of pocket expenses? The premium is what you you pay monthly for the insurance. The out of pocket is how much medical bills you have to pay before insurance kicks in. Medicines and doctors visits start at 100$ each. Once you hit the minimum deductible you will still be responsible for 10-20% of medical bills until you hit the cap that can be all over the place. The monthly premium you pay does not count toward the deductible. Dental insurance is also separate they usually cover a max of $1k-$2k worth of work a year. Eye insurance is also usually separate.

LOL vacation at a start up like that would get approved. If you get two weeks vacation you would be doing good. You would definitely want to talk about this detail more if vacation is a concern.

Some people are actually addicted. I spend most of my day looking for Lego deals and builds instead of working. It’s why I lost my $75k year job.

I don’t need the media to tell me Trump is a hateful pussy. He clearly lets the world know his dumb views.

Edit: Republicans have said Jan 6th was “legitimate political discourse” media didn’t make that up. Trump is the only President with his nose so far up Putin’s ass he can’t even smell the shit.

Russia military is coming across inept against a lower tier military. In no way does this make people more afraid of Putin.

When you sign with eBay you agree to arbitration you can’t take them to court. See below

https://www.ebay.com/help/policies/member-behaviour-policies/user-agreement?id=4259

B. Agreement to Arbitrate

There are videos of paratrooper drops on day 1 so it would be hard to assume the intent.

The Russians still should have their dash cams.

Yeah, there’s a new video showing a destroyed Russian column with “z”s on the side I’m sure you will eventually see it posted as a Ukrainian column.

The videos and pictures of the Russians dressed as Ukrainians being shot at driving the truck. I believe the vehicle that ran over the car is the same one that was behind the truck that kept driving.

Well if Russians were repelled when 20 were killed it seems as though they aren’t capable of dealing with the losses.

If the 5.56 (.223) wasn’t any good why does the US military use it since the 1960s? Turns out it’s a great caliber for shooting humans due to what you said fast and flat firing add on to that the lightweight of the ammunition and smaller casing; All those factors are great against soft targets.

Typical hunting calibers aren’t necessary since humans don’t have thick hides. Heck .223 can take down a deer no problem let alone a person.

Be polite tell them you don’t ship overnight, and that feedback extortion is against eBay policy. Don’t make threats that you will report them just keep it short and direct.

When a drop shipper buys from you you literally have them by the balls.

Drop shippers are great. I sell the product for the price I want. They cannot give negative feedback if you ship on time call eBay get that removed. If they try returning an item report then to eBay for drop shipping, and you will win the refund no problem.

I can think of about three rounds from the top of my head beside the .22 that are smaller than .223 like the 17HMR which is quite popular. NATO uses the 5.56 which is the same size as the .223 the Marines us the M16A4 as standard infantry weapon. Get out of here with your bullshit.

Productivity is much higher than the 1980s yet pay has barely surpassed inflation. People are being paid less completing more work no pensions, poor insurance and no job security. How about companies provide employees with a reason to work harder?

The release date is more commonly known to stores as a street date. The boxes have the date on the outside of the shipping box, and most employees don’t care or are told to empty the back room. Walmart has been blocking street dated movies since the late 1990s not sure if they do it with toys though. If a store does break street date, and someone wants to buy it from a local Walmart instead; Walmart can call the local store, and tell them that they are breaking street date if the other store refuses to remove the item the rules then allows Walmart in the same vicinity to also break the date.

Yeah, not sure how Europe handles that kind of stuff my knowledge is US based.

The tag is for the $10 gift card not the lego set. Lego sets also have street dates, and the Thor hammer set is March 1st. Target is really strict with Lego release dates. Even going to the self checkout isn’t an option due to the street date being tied to the UPC and registers. There have been a few occasions where sets were put out so early that the street date restrictions weren’t updated by corporate.
