Are the blocks single threaded? If I run a loop, everything else will wait until that loop ends?

Thank you in advance!

Yes, try to start a different process to trigger a timer to simulate multithreading.

So while one timer is counting down, other stuff happens, and when the timer expires the action gets inserted in the queue, like a JS async call. Is that correct?

Is that timer “Wait X seconds”? Just having that action is enough to start a different process?

“like a JS async call”
Yes

Use the Timer component with a single start. I would not recommend using a delay block “Wait” at all.
