ParticipantDepends … what you do, and whether you want to put up with the aggro of working for a single entity 40+ hr a week. Being able to code or sysadmin from a beach in the South of France (when you live in the USA) is rather niiiiice.
ParticipantCall it the Ford “Escape Capsule”. Complete with explosive bolts to sever the flaming engine compartment should a fire arise.
ParticipantCan’t you do whatever you want to do for a large corepirate entity on a freelance/LLC basis instead? No IRS issues as long as you’re not being paid through a middle-man, and the insurance situation will become a lot better for small LLC’s come 2014.
(Obama wins this round.)
ParticipantClearly they need to rename the model the Fission, since it seems to disintegrate in a fiery way occasionally. 🙂
ParticipantAs far as hotels, if you pre-book online, you’re usually told the full price before they charge your credit card.
ParticipantI said “Carter-era.” As in, total healthy disgust with the military and its employees after Vietnam. As opposed to today’s attitude of hypocritical soldier-hugging and cop-hugging.
Frankly, it’s good that the Soviets “went out of business.” But theirs was a flawed system, and cracks were showing well before the buildup of which we speak.
ParticipantLove getting a head massage from my Russian barber after haircut and straight-razor shave are done.
ParticipantI actually agree with you.
Which is why I applied for a passport in a Schengen country (I’m a dual-citizen due to parentage), so I can easily get legal residence in most of the EU (Switzerland after 2014 as well) should I desire to live outside of the US.
I wasn’t comparing Vermont to rural France. I was merely saying that urban/suburban Californian prices shouldn’t be compared to rural France, and that far NorCal or Vermont would be more apt comparisons.
ParticipantAs many democrats loves to crow about government spending is what gave us the internet. That government spending was military spending.
I could live without the Internet – not convinced that it actually makes society that much better off. This being said, the Internet was originally a military network. This doesn’t mean that the technology used in it was only developed for military purposes. Military spending may have given a boost, but we would have got here eventually.
And I’m not a “Democrat” nor do I vote any party’s ticket straight up without research.
Participant“Le tout sur 4.4 hectares de terrain en bordure de fĂ´ret.”
This all (i.e. the house), on 4.4 ha (approx 10 acres) near a forest. 4.4 ha refers to the lot size.
Participantspdrun, I haven’t been to Europe. Are there a lot of septic users outside of cities?
Why do you think property taxes are lower in the EU?
Septic tanks: depends on country and location.
http://www.survivefrance.com/profiles/blogs/fosse-septiques-septic-tanks-in-franceLower property taxes: because the primary tax burdens are income tax and VAT, and municipalities receive more of that money back from the central government. As it should be in my book.
ParticipantLooks like the green (rotten?) slice of the pie can be cut by about half. Wish we could return to the sensible Carter-era attitudes about the military.
ParticipantBrainwashed Americans tend to vote for either of the two big parties. News at 11.
ParticipantBlu-Ray? Wassat? Who buys DVDs anymore?
HTPC/DVR capable of Torrenting is where it’s AT, baby.
