I’m in NZ to speak, and just -being-half a world away has dropped my heart rate 15bpm, and I finally just collapsed in exhaustion. Even though it’s only for a few days.
@hacks4pancakes hopefully that stress drops even more when you get here
@sortius I will never need another birthday or Christmas
@hacks4pancakes ask for asylum

@siderau @hacks4pancakes no joke: not possible yet. You can't ask asylum because you fear -- no matter how well founded that fear is -- eventually you will be in deadly danger. It's for "clear and present danger". Here's two cases when Canada gave asylum to Hungarians lately, you can see they were repeatedly getting credible death threats and one of them was assaulted on the street as well. The US is not *yet* there.

@hacks4pancakes Here's hoping you can get some rest while you're there.
@hacks4pancakes Enjoy NZ! I find walking in the same lands as Frodo, Sam, Gandalf and the Fellowship to be rejuvenating. Even if it was only a movie ... 😍
@hacks4pancakes Kia ora and welcome to NZ. Hope you have a chilled time and can enjoy the visit.
@hacks4pancakes NZ will do that to you, everyone is so relaxed over there. Even more so than Australia 🤣.
Enjoy
@hacks4pancakes Also (in each place) try to make time for a walk around the city parks and green spaces to check out the views.... nice reward for also being there.
@hacks4pancakes I’m glad there’s any relief possible - just wish it could be longer!
@TheDrPinky it’s out permanently or I don’t know, for me. That’s pretty much it for me it not.
@hacks4pancakes I also realize my original message couldn’t interpreted that I wish you were exhausted for longer… which I hope you realize wasn’t the intent 😅
@hacks4pancakes I am super excited to hear your talk!
