I mean you don’t need to buy at every level, and a lot of it is shared, e.g. the smart casual and business casual blazers can be the same one

Each one is a slight upgrade in formality of the previous one, so yes there is a lot of near-overlap

In fairness a lot of people have office jobs with the possibility to be let go if they don’t meet dress code

While true, getting a larger percent of the populace to realize that and prioritize it is necessary in order to eat them

Sure, but so do a lot of other things that aren’t as costly. If NFTs were the first secure way to authenticate things online we wouldn’t have had online banking until very recently

A lot of advanced analytical tools in biotech at least are developed to be compute cluster compatible, and thus work best on unix-like CLI, e.g. Linux (or Mac with a bit of tinkering)

For many of those years it was the only electric pickup truck being advertised. And also, yes people do like the Tesla name. Musk and growing competition has done a ton to tank the reputation lately, but until just a couple years ago Tesla was far and away the best and most advanced electric car, and depending on your criteria the most advanced/best car period. Perception shifts slowly outside of well-informed groups, and the Musk hate is really only affecting well-informed left wing groups right now, so a lot of libertarian Musk fanboys are still fully on the Tesla train

One could make the case that it is a patriotic duty to divert money from fascists that would otherwise go to fascist causes

In addition to what Blisterex said, the open-source hardware ethos is very similar to the Linux open-source software ethos, so it attracts a similar crowd

UK mpg are different than US mpg, it looks like 1 mpg US is ~1.2 mpg UK

Any particular area/aspect you’re looking to improve?

Because companies mostly don’t want the degree to prove skill sets, which is why they don’t generally ask for transcripts, just that you have a degree in a somewhat related field. The value of a bachelor’s degree to a company is that it proves the applicant is capable of undertaking a ~4 year commitment, achieving a tangible result, and that they pass a threshold competence at navigating beaurocracies and interacting with other humans. The specific skills/experience the company wants are much better assessed using prior experience, interviews, assessments, etc.

The brakes are probably worse, depending on the bike and how nice a bike you’d compare it to could be quite a bit worse. If you’re just riding casually and have foresight it’s not going to make or break it though. Oh, and modern shifters are a lot easier, but again not going to be life changing unless you’re riding a ton, especially on uneven terrain

It is definitely an arms race between better bots and better anti-bot, but part of that paradigm is that it gets more expensive to participate in the race the faster it gets. If valve applied the acceleration even a little bit, the number of bots would at least temporarily be reduced, which would make the player experience astronomically better. No bots whatsoever is unreasonable, but most pubs being 50% bots or more means they can effectively vote-ban anyone and is untenable

Just sounds like the first episode of community with less context and more soapboxing

Aldi in the US always gives me the option at checkout to pay later, I’ve never explored it to find out the fine print

Definitely not my genre, but you could try The Rosie Project by Graeme Simsion? It’s fairly comedic but I think checks all your boxes pretty well, including the last two (maybe not quite hate but definitely don’t view each other as romantic prospects)

Tariffs in general aren’t inherently bad if they protect domestic interests, especially against a foreign power that is subsidizing production as part of an economic power play. If Trump had limited his tariffs to China and Russia not included all of our allies I would have agreed with him. If we didn’t desperately need more EVs and if US automakers weren’t such colossal assholes about making good cheap EVs I’d agree with this one

Oh ho ho, where have you been that you think they’ll hold their own side to this standard?

Funny thing is they aren’t even GMOs, they’re hybrids between tetraploid and diploid watermelon cultivars. You could do it yourself in your backyard if you can find tetraploid seed for sale, or make it yourself with colchicine
