To those that work as a contractor, how do you determine if an offer is good when they say “possibility for extension”? I have always brushed that off as unlikely to happen as I have gotten screwed by a former employer. Is it safe to just evaluate it on the guarantees or do you put any weight into future work?

A possibility is not a guarantee and should never be considered as such.

I was reading a post in another group that asked how folks were celebrating Diwali outside of India and 2 people mentioned that their whole street (in the US) exchanged sweets, put up lights, and pitched in for a community firecrackers permit. This had me wondering if this happened in the US for Eid as well in cites where there is a big Muslim population. Also, how do you all celebrate Eid? For folks who are grew up in the west, is there anything you plan on doing differently with your kids?
