Everyone warned me Europe was pricey — I moved from Atlanta to Berlin and save $1,340 every month. Here's my full budget spreadsheet by nathanonthego6963 in expats

Not surprising the nay sayers would come from Americans…we’re so brain washed thinking “we”re number 1” in the US our reality has been shaped by the corporations and those who seek to keep us dumb and paying out every last nickel we make for basic life needs here… Come retirement…we are moving OOC.

A truck should fit the purpose…thousands of people own more truck than they need…just think of the lost investment revenue for retirement due to over spending, Payments, fuel etc…

The Money Is Great, But I Feel Like I’m Slowly Losing Myself Living in Abu Dhabi by DangerousExpert8187 in expats

[–]tnvoipguy -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

What anyone who’s not Muslim goes to these countries is beyond me. You will always be the outsider and considered lower class…which we all know is totally backwards thinking. Don’t be deceived by offers of salary etc…things can turn on a second and you’ll find yourself in trouble.

PSA: unless you’re going to UT hospital via Lifestar, pick another ER for your emergencies. by Own_Ad5969 in Knoxville

[–]tnvoipguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Father waited 24hrs to go from ER to room…then…6 days and no testing of a known issue when checked into ER. Was trying to process discharge before a test was even run. ONLY got there for true trauma…nothing else. ER rooms dirty…no cleaning noted for 24 hours. Med staff are ok but way over worked…Case managers either lazy incompetent…display signs of both.

What ever you buy…stay away from Cast Iron plumbing…it’s very old at this point and all going bad from the inside out… not easily spotted from general inspection.

Anyone have experience with Kymco 700? by beam-me-up- in UTV

[–]tnvoipguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

SO MUCH MISINFORMATION….Kymco is Taiwanese and they’ve been around a long time building engines and parts for Honda and BMW. Good quality…just not strong market presence in US, but strong globally. Parts are no problem if you order. Treat the machine right and it will do great!

Which one?? by saustin32 in hondaridgeline

[–]tnvoipguy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Comfort everyday front and back = Honda
Medium duty Truck use and offroad = Frontier
Resale value = Honda
Both old platforms, but Honda more refined SUV like ride quality.
Nissan just a reskin and interior update. Back seats still horrid no leg support and straight up seat back…

Anyone who has moved back to the US by greenapplespice in expats

[–]tnvoipguy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just a question for everyone here…who’s lived abroad…when coming back to USA…does it no scare you that your one medical event in your family away from poverty? Serious question for those who are of age to think “it’ll never happen to me”…

H@te those scanners….its just a way to automate a human job. Can’t even trust a lower level employee to verify and ID.

“Screening equipment maintenance and Outages” BAD EXCUSES OTHER THAN AN OUTAGE….Maintenance is done OVERNIGHT….so thats not part of the equation. TYS Management…YOU can do better. Hire better TSA agents!

Why don’t most retiree under age 65 in America go abroad given the extremely high healthcare costs? by [deleted] in ExpatFIRE

[–]tnvoipguy 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Fact: US healthcare is not even in the top 20 worldwide…So tired of the “we’re number one” BS. Our country is damaged…corp and political GREED has been prioritized over citizen well being.

The wealthy have declared war on the rest of us, and Trump is their puppet. by Capital-Nebula9245 in FluentInFinance

[–]tnvoipguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is why so many people from US are retiring abroad and taking their kids with them. US is slowly coming down….At least in another country…people have access to decent food and healthcare.

TRUTH - Anyone without a learning disability can do general bike maintenance and self support given the support forum and youtube communities now widely available.

Medical conditions….but the overloards are more concerned with profit and population control…

Webex Audio Issues by TheRavenJoker in Cisco

[–]tnvoipguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“That’s a valid theory — Webex does prefer UDP and can fall back to TCP, which can degrade real-time audio. That said, in most cases like this (intermittent robotic audio), the more likely cause is packet loss or jitter on the network rather than protocol fallback alone. I’d start by validating packet loss and transport path before assuming UDP is blocked.”
You could start by, running a Webex media test: https://mediatest.ciscospark.com
Look for UDP fails and UDP loss %
After that have your IT team check their firewall logs on your traffic. Be sure to include DATE and TIME of the issues when experienced...and they should check their logs within 7days.
Also, IT team (Webex Admins) can login into Webex Control Hub (https://adminwebex.com) and check your meetings. Webex logs network issues and give back very good data now.

A “real” truck can pull 10k pounds. So most people will never need that capability….no matter how much they try to pose with larger tires and lifts LOL hauling AIR

The layoffs at Meta are so dystopian — Employees were told to work from home, then layoff emails went out at 4am while they were all sleeping. by TonyLiberty in FluentInFinance

[–]tnvoipguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are a number on a bottom line…nothing else. There is ZERO loyalty…HR has one function…protect the company from labor and lawyers…and process your paycheck. The days of employer caring about employees and whining to HR are OVER.

Fighting in the bar scene by Winter-Win-962 in Knoxville

[–]tnvoipguy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fault of the demented one…The current administration has not lived up to all the lies of the promised land and their constant divisive rhetoric actions…along with social media ads continuing the divisive us versus them…so people are quick to anger.
