  • My wife has been an indonesian all her life and her family does pretty well. She and her sisters have university degrees. Her sisters both are married, have 2 or 1 kid.

    It's all pretty fine. Labour is very cheap but so is the cost of living. They barely have any old people and a high labour force. Their economy has been booming.

    Maybe you should go there

    Your husband could try and get a job in Europe. Here in flanders there's quite a lot of walkability. They are creating bike lanes. I'm lucky that I can bike to work 15 km without interacting much with cars.

    I could suggest Indonesia, for 100k euros you have a nice apartment with access to a gym and swimming pool. But I don't know about the needs of your child. They don't really speak English there either, but Bahasa is pretty easy to learn.

    Personally I'd go to Batam, Indonesia. Right under Singapore. Live in the center.

    For walkability it's bad there kinda. And hot. Be careful of things like construction work. Can't really know if it's all safe.

  • Bought my wife a home bike so that she could do some cardio while I worked. It's good for the winter, it gets pretty cold here for her. She's used to Indonesia and in Belgium it gets to 0 to minus 10 degrees in the winter months.

    It's a good option because you can read something while doing that. Basically you can be on the internet.

    When you're more fit, I'd suggest rope skipping. However it can be hard on the joints. It's very good cardio though. Boxers do it all the time.

    You also can buy some kettlebells. I have one of 16 and 20 kg at home, it takes no space at all. I use them for shoulder raises. They can be used for swings which is great cardio.

    You can do bodyweight squats. I do 5 sets of 50 on a Sunday when I'm "too lazy" to fix up the weight for deadlift.

    In all these years of working out, I quickly made the investment to have a home gym. Not because it's cheaper in the long term, but because it's far easier to actually do the workout.

    The most difficult part about working out at a gym is getting to the gym. It feels like a drag. Sure, once at the gym it's all great, but getting there the next time is once again a drag.

    About food I don't know shit though. I consume a lot of calories. Me working out and stuff like that is what I call damage control. I'm a stereotypical Belgian. I eat a lot of fries with mayo and drink strong beer.

    Working out, and likely food, is all about mental stuff. Truly it's half the battle. Need to figure out how to do a routine and keep to it. Like right now I'm going to do barbell rows because it's Thursday. I don't even view it as an option, it's just what my Thursday looks like.

    Good luck, getting back into shape is always difficult. But you know that after 2 months you'll have a lot of energy. Then the trick is to keep working out just to keep that amount of energy.

  • You're unemployed

  • 👍🏻

  • This social media seems to be primarily eurozone folks

  • Being told that it was a mistake just means that you need to fire whoever told you that.

    They bombed it twice

  • Using a funny word whenever you're at a road block causes growth to stop 😁

  • You ashamed?

  • Because we want people to stop doing things we don't want them to do. With we, being whichever group having power.

    Nothing I do is illegal, and hence of no consequence.

    My life's so fucking easy

  • Depends on the subject and on how much effort I put into it.

    What job do you do? You didn't answer

  • Don't you worry, my job will be replaced by AI as well. By 2026 peppol invoices will be enforced in Belgium. Reducing bookkeepers their workload.

    ITers replacing my job: 😁😁😁

    ITers replacing their own jobs: 😧😧😧

  • My mate is applying to Amazon as warehouse worker. He has an IT degree.

    My coworker in the bookkeeping department has two degrees. Accountancy and IT. She can't find an IT job.

    At the other side though, my brother, an experienced software developer, is earning quite a lot of money now.

    Basically, the industry is not investing in new blood.

  • Basically, while you're alone. We all have eachother ☺️

    Have a great time

  • Nah it's not going to get cheaper. Your imports on beef have been higher than the exports.

    For some reason your country chose to export a lot of beef while also importing a lot of beef.

    Let's see..

    https://www.beefmagazine.com/cow-calf-operation/why-does-the-u-s-both-import-and-export-beef-

    The article highlights several key points to explain why the U.S. both imports and exports beef:

    1. Market Efficiency: Markets function to maximize the value of products and use resources efficiently. This means producing goods where it is most cost-effective and meeting demand where it is highest.
    2. Supply and Demand Balance: The U.S. imports beef to meet domestic demand for specific types of beef that are not produced in sufficient quantities locally. Conversely, it exports beef to capitalize on international markets where certain U.S. beef products are highly valued.
    3. Consumer Preferences: Different markets have varying preferences for beef types. By engaging in both import and export activities, the U.S. can cater to diverse consumer tastes both domestically and internationally.
    4. Resource Optimization: Importing and exporting allow the U.S. to optimize its production processes. For example, the U.S. might import lean beef for ground beef production while exporting high-quality cuts that fetch better prices abroad.
    5. Global Competitiveness: Participating in global trade helps the U.S. beef industry remain competitive. It ensures that the industry can adapt to changes in supply and demand, maintain market share, and support economic growth.

    These factors collectively contribute to a robust and flexible beef industry in the U.S., benefiting both producers and consumers.
