Honestly it took me years to lose the American work mindset. It was destroying my brain.

Take the leave and feel no shame. Others are reacting because you taking leave challenges their understanding of work. Something that is exceedingly rare in the US.

Having learned a language where dialect often means you can barely understand each other if at all, I'm more inclined to consider Mexican vs Castilian an accent much the same way as English's American vs Australian/british/etc..

Old growth doesn't work like this. Logging companies are constantly trying to take bigger swaths than they're allotted because there's no active enforcement leaving orgs like BARK OUT et. al. To do the ground truthing and sue in court, often after the damage is done.

Often logging companies want this wood because it's much higher quality than second growth. The dense wood is a higher grade and sells for a higher premium. If you've seen wood in an old house versus modern you'll notice the ring structure much more tightly packed and less knotting. It's much stronger.

Here's a maps image of old growth in the mt. Hood wilderness:

And here's the Oregon coast range:

The first image is 100% old growth in a national forest. The second is 0%, in mostly privately owned land owned by logging companies or less so under BLM/FS. Patchwork logging doesn't sustain biodiversity. Replanting is almost always done with a monoculture of trees that make logging easier in later harvests. These second growth forests hold less water, sequester less carbon, and are less drought resistant. This in turn makes them more prone to wildfire, flooding, erosion, and desertification. They are also less food abundant so they can't sustain as much wildlife.

Most of western Oregon looks like the second image, and the old growth is only 10% of the original area nation wide. We don't need to log old growth at all. There's plenty of second growth. Just manage it.

How can you say it's accurate if you're not knowledgeable on future affairs!? Smh...

The US is on the exemption list in your linked article. I have corrected the time period, thanks!

Are we simply to assume the donuts have a homogenous internal structure? Clearly there's not enough information.

Cool! Just file your tax extension by april 15 if the automatic 2 month extension is even slightly inconvenient or pushing the UK's tax return provision date.. It's no questions asked and gives you until October.

The FBAR is also super easy if not slightly tedious depending on your foreign banking situation's complexity.

Yeah i guess my point is not to make assumptions here. Originally i wasn't thinking EU specific. It can just get sticky if you live in eu and have a job based in US.

It may have been a covid related restriction.

Yep. Left signal when entering then right signal when going to the 3rd exit. The left signal means you're planning to continue in the roundabout which would be wrong if you're exiting.

Car position is also a thing. Move to the right side on exit to block traffic behind.

Also on entry: left side of lane turning left, center for straight, right for right.

Idk what the rules are in the US for roundabouts. From what i recall there really aren't any you're just expected to use them without training and not crash.

Edit: not sure i would necessarily apply these in the US. You need to drive extremely defensively because someone WILL misinterpret your signal cause they don't know what's happening either.
