WoW had that really well figured out. I remember when I played both that and FFIX. I'd spend 7 hours looking for a group in FF on a Saturday, get to the dungeon, wipe right away, level down and the group would disband. Logging on becam

In practice signing up for a regular account w/ debit card, bankid etc as a US citizen isn't very different from signing up as a Sweden. You'll run into issues trying to open an account for trading stocks though.

There is absolutely demand. I've been doing cobol for four years and have banks and insurance companies asking me to come in for an interview all the time. But no remote teams, no companies ready to offer any support for relocation and

Yeah. Fines here (static) can be broken out of convenience for the wealthy (see new SUVs parked illegally on small streets in central Stockholm). It feels like breaking traffic regulations should maybe be considered crimes with dagsböter (i

Estonia is still a hot topic and new dives to the wreck always bring new calls for more thorough investigations. It's worth the time to look into if you like speculation around the fall of the Soviet union and political cover ups.
