Idk why you're being downvoted. Petrochemicals are used for a bunch of stuff, including plastics manufacturing.

We should switch to renewables as quickly and completely as we can, but it wouldn't eliminate 100% of oil use

I opted out of this over a month ago, still opted out.

Wonder how long they've been doing this ....

I'm in Asheville NC not Tampa. We're not built for the hurricane we got.

Insurance covers very little. Not the fact that the city won't have water for months, nor access to you property, nor flooding for the majority of people, and many many businesses are gone

Yeah, a truck would make me feel better. It's definitely a risk to move it myself uninsured. For comparison, looks like post tax prices delivered of ~14-18% more in Denmark than the US where we are.

That's a fair bit, but I'm not sure we're in the market to try this hard to save a few hundred dollars in such a massive move. I lean towards selling, especially once we packed a big suitcase and it went VERY quick with stuff we love lol

All of this sounds so exciting. Thanks for the reply.

So excited and so overwhelmed.

We're moving from the US to Denmark soon. We just had a hurricane destroy our city. We are fine, thankfully, but our city is in bad shape. I also just had a decently big surgery a few weeks ago and my doctor's office is gone, so in the midst of all this I have to find a doctor. Just coincidental timing on all of it.

But it's net positive. I look forward to the future more than I dread the bad stuff.

We're moving away from the US, did you misread that or are you suggesting we should flee further than Europe?

[–] frank@sopuli.xyz 2 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Very very little to move. Just what we can carry onto planes basically. Hoping to stay in a spot for many years, but you never know. The packaging is a good idea, I should price compare properly

Yeah, I'll be in Copenhagen. I hope to not own a car at all! Just a bike and public transit

[–] frank@sopuli.xyz 4 points 11 months ago

That's great, I like that a lot. As the commenter below said, sounds like New England to an extent. I'm fine with that and happy with less superficial
