No, you can leave the sauna any time you want and go cool down, so there shouldn't ever be any damage done from the heat really. Unless, of course, you purposefully stay there way past being uncomfortable, but that's not really what a sauna is about


That sounds like the sensible reaction, at the time at least.

It's interesting to think about and realize how much things have changed now though, and how reliant people are on everything, and especially their tiktoks etc. working all the time.

Some of the panic is likely related to the war in Europe too, and especially the general talk about war


> Some of the panic is likely related to the war in Europe too, and especially the general talk about war

We were just two years removed from 9/11 so terror talk was the first thing that happened. We got that news from AM radio in our cars. Still no panic.


Without going into whether it's a good idea, or how the current administration and climate might affect things, these are some common options I have personally heard of:

- L1 visa: Get an internal transfer from a company that has offices both in the EU and the US

- H1B visa: Get hired by a US company and enter into a queue/lottery type of thing

- Green card lottery: Enter the annual lottery to get a Green Card to enter the US

- OPT visa + extensions: Graduate from an accredited college/university in the US

- O1 / EB-1 visas etc: Convince the immigration office that you have some extraordinary ability that would greatly benefit the US

- E2 visa and similar: Start a business in the US and invest a substantial amount of money into it

- New "Gold Card": Buy your way into the US with 5 million

Some of these also have different variations with slightly different requirements


What are the chances of getting O1 / EB-1 visas? Thanks for this detailed response. I appreciate.


Just to be more realistic

H1-B without a degree and 19 y.o.? Not gonna happen

I'd believe the same for O-1 (and very few 19 y.o. have "extraordinary ability" without a degree. Very, very few.)

Easiest way would be to go get a degree in the US (of course, you need $ for this)


Yeah Americans are going to learn that the hard way, if they haven't already


I'm hoping the lesson we learn is "do everything possible to maintain 3 separate but co-equal branches of government"

Tariffs are supposed to be imposed by congress, not the president. The president is using a loophole (declaring a national emergency) to give himself authority to bypass congress.

It shouldn't be possible for 1 branch of government to take such drastic measures unilaterally.


The fundamental problem is that political parties (and, in particular, a two-party system) render the existing constitutional checks and balances useless. As long as you have political parties with members spanning all three branches, they are not truly separate branches.

We lived in the illusion that this wasn't the case for nearly 250 years because most of the time, elected officials have largely acted in good faith. However, the Republican party (correctly) determined that when it comes to wielding power most effectively, it's in their best interest to protect its own members in all branches rather than members in each branch thinking of themselves as independent of (or even in conflict with) the other two branches as the constitution envisions.


Ah yes, the government has famously been only competent up to this point


We didn’t know how good we had it!


That's the long-term theory, yeah.

It's interesting to see how the U.S. could make it happen though, given that there is already a shortage of labor and materials. It will be a long, long road.


Yeah, it might also mean that the suppliers just didn't have balls to restock into those machines


Good point, I guess they probably did mean scour the country for suppliers, rather than ball machines! Even in context you could read it both ways:

> First, they had to scour the country to acquire the 250,000 bouncy balls needed to create the critical mass. “They bought every bouncy ball west of the Mississippi,” said Ranahan. “There was not a single bouncy ball in any machine in America for a couple months. I felt so bad for the poor children,” said Fuglsig.


This is probably a colorful way of saying they bought up a couple months' worth of inventory from Wham-O's western-division distributors.


Good time to consider and try out alternatives!

Such as Bluesky


Is Bluesky good enough and dense enough if I block all political keywords? X is good enough for me after muting all political keywords.

There was a link recently to a site that lists all top links on Bluesky and overwhelmingly all were about US politics.


It has great support for blocking yes. In fact, there are curated and/or crowdsourced block lists that one can subscribe to so you don’t have to spend as much time doing it yourself. I am sure there’s one that’s suitable for your needs but I don’t have any to recommend


..you can do that?! I've been dreaming of the ability to block certain words and phrases from Twitter. Blue sky is too chaotic for me… I'm OK sticking with Twitter so long as I can block words and phrases.


or mastodon. or threads. or <anme your platform here>... I hate that the short-text social media world got so fragmented. Twitter was the one place i could go to say hi to my neighbors, complain to a company and get recompense, grow my hobbies with friends, ask almost any restaurant "are you open on $holiday?" and just watch the whole world breathe.


This is same as https://www.goeuropean.org/

> Why did you change your name from Buy European Made to Go European?

> We changed our name to better reflect our evolving mission and values. "Go European" encompasses a broader range of initiatives and activities that support European culture, tourism, and services, beyond just promoting European-made products.


Ah, thanks. I wasn't aware of that.


Nicely executed joke! :D


Maybe this is not for me, but I don't understand what it does

What do those groups and arrows mean?


If you don't understand what it does the fault is all mine!

The arrows represent dependencies. For example, if you create a function A that calls a function B in a pull request: 1. We'll render function A as a diff on the top part of the canvas 2. We'll render function B as a diff on the bottom part of the canvas And we'll draw an arrow from A to B, to represent that A is calling B

In this way, you can more easily understand the relationships between different parts of what someone is editing. We hope that this reduces the amount of mental modeling or mapping someone has to do during code review!
