My situation is already a little different because prior to my L1 I was already working in the USA on a different visa. So I worked in the USA, then outside the USA, then returned to the USA (upon which I picked the L1 over the H1B for my spouse). My feelings on whether I want to stay permanently have changed a bunch of times, but in the end, I probably won't get a choice. Both L1 and H1B have time limits, and due to COVID and my company doing various layoffs I probably won't get a green card in time.

I voluntarily went on an L1 so my spouse could work. H1b spouses cannot work.

Unless I'm mistaken, you can transfer employers on an H1-B, and you have 90 days to find a new job if you get laid off. On an L1 you are immediately out of status when your employment is terminated, with no option of transfer

You think H1-Bs are bad? Trying being on an L1 :)

Eh. I'm in a large US metro area and one of our local dances recently had to put a cap on class sizes because it was getting too crowded. The local university club recently started back up after a post-pandemic hiatus. I'm considered one of the oldest at one dance I attend (I'm in my early thirties with some greys). The local yearly convention is back to pre-pandemic size

My Oma went through Alzheimer's. Sbe went from being a functional adult, to forgetting how to speak English, to mistaking family members, to recognizing no one, to being unable to feed herself over the course of 10 years. But she seemed happy most of the time, usually smiling, would light up when she saw people, she would attempt to sing along to whatever music was playing. So I'd say she remained happy most of the time, which made it much easier to deal with from our end.

I think the bolt looks fine? Especially the 2022+ versions. Biggest issue is the 50kw max charging rate imo.

Just do it! Most venues have a beginner class that is specifically designed for people who have never danced (there will likely be others in the same boat as you). I started a few years ago, now I teach it and it's all I do in my spare time. It's also a great hobby because you can either go all in like me, or show up once a week for 1h and still have good time, meet people etc

(based on your username), Poland has a great scene by the way.

I dunno. A Toyota RAV4 hybrid gets 41/38 city/highway mpg, but a Prius gets 57/56. That's 46% more efficient. Gas is just so cheap in the USA it barely matters.

Agreed. My 1972 MGB got 28mpg. I realize cars have improved in many ways since then (crash safety, NOx emissions, comfort) but I feel like in 50 years we stopped caring about efficiency as much.

Rust has lints for unused result types, but I've still seen new coders unintentionally write

  let _ = failable_call();

Which suppresses the error entirely.

I wouldn't say it's "easy", and it hasn't really been a problem in production. But maybe this is where the parent post is going.

Definitely not true. Source: I worked at Tesla at the time of the Snake robot.

I'll do it if it's convenient and has a fixed end time. So, <10 min walk from either my house or my work, 45min max duration. I often find people who want stuff for free expect me to drive across the entire city to meet them.

the USA has a murder rate of ~6 per 100k people and Tesla has 140k employees, so I don't think one murder is statistically meaningful.
