They’re all incandescent if you’re not a quitter.

Also everything is a fuse

Yeah, I said it looked like Dutch in the 1300 and before period. Maybe that’s a bias because I can speak danish (okay, anyway) but dutch is like a random bunch of nonsense to me

Yup. I suspect on other social media that some of the positive sentiment towards AI is just astroturfing.

Don’t underestimate the value of a good night’s sleep

Hi! I’m an engineer and have done it. It’s of course not easy but it’s totally doable. I guess my really high level advice would be:

Figure out what country(ies) you’d consider moving to (think about language stuff and your willingness to learn a new one if needed, prevalence of English, cost, climate, culture, etc)

Look for the visa requirements (very often in tech just “have a job” is enough for you and your family visa wise).

Look for jobs. Lots of places at least here in Denmark are very aware of the fact that they can get good talent leaving the US right now. My boss literally talks about it weekly. Employers will be glad to help with visas and with help moving. My employer that I moved with found us a place to live (furnished) for 3 months and paid for it, got plane tickets, got someone to help with taxes, of course did visa things, and had someone help with all the “other stuff” like drivers license transfer, understanding healthcare, etc etc

If you actually want to consider it, it’s really doable. It’s been such a rewarding and amazing experience for us.

That’s fair and a much better response than mine above. I’m just a bit disenfranchised from it all, especially the non action and non voting suggestions of many on the left.

But you are right, it’s basically a center right and a far right party, and that super sucks and needs to be complained about a lot.

Someone I worked with had a great rage quit. He worked his ass off for the whole year doing insane overtime and sacrificing way too much for a thankless corporation. When it came to raise time, my boss gave him a 0% raise, citing that he already made more than average/benchmark.

After that meeting he just left. He left all his work stuff on his desk, he didn’t tell anyone he wasn’t coming back from lunch time ish. It took a full month before they stopped paying him, and my boss would come around almost every day to ask if anyone knew where he was or how to contact him. I think they just assumed he was blowing off steam and would come back, meanwhile he moved to another city.

I assume all those “vote third party both side same” people were bots or Russian trolls. Obviously trump was always gonna be way worse
