At minimum the cheap ones have lower QA tolerances on components. Sometimes they straight up swap in shittier components (eg: plastic instead of metal, etc).

Not saying you always need the most expensive option when choosing power tools, but looks same != same.

V disappointed upon realizing this is not, as I initially read, satirically-typed

Should we…like…number them?

Second on the mandolin that was on someone’s list.

Caveat being don’t buy a shitty one or it will have the opposite effect.

Givewell is thorough with their research, and afaik they try hard to stay current on everything.

Those aren’t fit for human consumption either tho

Me too. My 30 are basically the same as my 20s, and same for most of the people around me.

But shhh if the kids underestimate us, we can get away with more! “oh noes, my poor old hip can’t handle pushing this heavy thing! You do it and I’ll impart some wisdom because of my advanced years.”

We should do meet ups in our tent cities! Start a book club!

Seriously tho… Sending good vibes your way, even though I know firsthand that’s a bit condescending and doesn’t really help.

Being poor and feeling sorry for myself

Everyone happily careening toward totally preventable catastrophe, then doing surprised pikachu face.

I guess I was more curious why people are popping the caps off their beverages while on the toilet.

“Don’t shit where you eat” or some variant thereof is pretty universal; I (stupidly?) assumed “don’t eat where you shit” would be equally so.

Nuka Cola goes well with ketchup chips, eh?

I can’t read the best before date on the hand, but presumably you’d want to open that freezer as little as possible.

Canada too. But there’s a generational divide wherein everyone <50 is assumed to snowboard, and re: skiing everyone assumes the downhill/alpine flavour only.

My family-in-law, all 4 generations, are like 462874th generation American. They use cutlery in their fists like they’re cavemen stabbing at the last mammoth chop.

I definitely do not think chopstick experience is their problem.

How is that a New Canadian thing though? What countries are they from and what fucking intergalactic class missile proof God tier plumbing do they have there? Bottle caps???

I like the idea that riding bulls and rolling joints are Life Skills, as though you need them to function.

What’s your job called? I’m nowhere near your field, and am curious about y’alls org charts.

You can have a bank account, but you wouldn’t be able to do online or mobile banking.

Sms is the only 2fa option (some offer email as well, but last I checked all fall back on sms), and it’s mandatory for online/mobile.

If you’ve firmly but politely articulated what your skill set is, and they’ve told you it’s fine, you’re literally being paid to skill up. I don’t see the problem. You haven’t lied about your qualifications, instead you’ve been told they want you on the project, even though you don’t know the language yet. This is a good thing.
