School closed early due to heat today. So I dropped a line in work slack, picked up my kid and went swimming in a great open air pool for 4.50. Europe is wonderful place to live.

And it's not even southern.

The better post that I saw was someone saying how ex-USA citizens jumped at loud sounds because we fear gunfire and Europeans took them in stride.

Ehh.... Probably a bit hyperbolic. Most people are jumpy around loud things, not because they are afraid of guns, but because loud noises are surprising. Your brain isn't very involved in most of your body's reflexive actions.

Plus, most Americans haven't been around people firing guns either. And the sound that a gun makes changes pretty drastically based on environment and where you are relative to the shooter. The most common reaction to actually being shot at is generally confusion not fear.

The machine is not for everyone - and we should have a system that allows people to have a balanced life. But we should not punish or prevent the people who like working like that. It takes all kinds...

Life in Velen vs. life in Toussaint.

Moved to Scandinavia. That's completely accurate in my experience

Then they need to grieve the time spent grieving over a time, that they didn't know they could be grieving about.
