@jack, that's very nice.

 

[LotusBud]

All the jobs I see for Enlighs speakers here re in tech or finance. No, and no. No thanks.

 

[Joe]

so are you saying it's OK to reside in Costa Rica as a self-employed contractor or digital type nomad entrepreneur @Seamajor?

 

[Joe]

I know this has become a suitable arrangment in other countries for ex-pats.

 

[Joe]

They get paid at what they do, creating their own employment, but same time they don't threaten jobs of the locals.

 

[Joe]

I think Mexico and Puerto Rico allows it.

 

[Joe]

I wouldn't mind setting up some sort of mobile business(es), travelling, moving around & getting paid while doing it.

 

[Joe]

That'd be a cool way to make a living rather than being anchored to any particular country.

 

[LotusBud]

Portugal and most of the EU also allows this. As long as your employer is not in the country you reside in, you can work as much as you want. Otherwise, you need a different visa.

One of the lovelier things about the Rim these days is that we finally have services like DoorDash here. Rent paid, bills paid, groceries inbound, all attended to at my desk.

 

[LotusBud]

From your desk to the recliner. Wheeeeee!!!! What's the Rim?

 

[Seamajor]

@ Joe. CR welcomes digital nomads. You can own a bar. You must hire Ticos tho and pay their wages and benefits.

I love the discussion that has ensued! The best part of work is locking that door after close.

[jack]

Desolate or beautiful?

 

[The Associate]

Fallout.

 

[The Associate]

Oh, the surrounding geography is both desolate AND beautiful. The town itself is a Fallout location.

Shit, sec.

It’s a nice evening I’ve pulled the bike out and doing some ubereats deliveries

It's so seldom-trafficked that, if you've got the urge (and the balls) you can walk right up into the courtroom and plop your ass down in the Judge's seat. Have done; spent many pleasant hours reading Mark Twain from the bench.

 

[LotusBud]

Oh, Arizona. That explains so much.

It’s moar for my mental health I haven’t been on my bike for a minute now

@LotusBud What, like -- for example -- the Desert Rangers badge?

 

[The Associate]

58 Fahrenheit here. Unseasonably warm for the mountains in December/January.

 

[LotusBud]

high 50s in NY. It was snowing last week.

 

[LotusBud]

Just Arizona and you. Makes sense. Yuck.
