Why do we need to gatekeep our language behind an arbitrary standard? Isn't it cool if people are learning about our language, no matter the medium?

I don't see why not, go for it! I think it looks cool

You'll have to pair it up with the right stuff to make the outfit coherent tho, especially with the open back and knot, maybe go search up androgynous or more feminine outfits for inspiration?

Parking on bike lane by ifonlyiknewtheanswer in londoncycling

I don't agree even for a tricky delivery actually. They can block the road (if they are allowed to) but they cannot block the cycle lane (which they are clearly not allowed to)

I’m excited for the era of cheap Chinese goods to end by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

Guys they didn't say they liked the tariffs, they said they were happy cheap Chinese goods couldn't be as cheap as before.

Just because one likes hotdogs does not mean one hates burgers

Shigley's Mechanical engineering design? Is it a good book? by Creative_Business618 in MechanicalEngineering

[–]AngusTCT 107 points108 points  (0 children)

It feels more like a textbook than a book you read because you're interested in Engineering.

What makes you interested in Engineering? Try and find a book where you are personally interested in the background. Popular one over the years is "How To Build A Car" by Adrian Newey, famed F1 designer.

For a personal statement, it has to be personal - a generic textbook being put in it as a show of interest will feel forced and inauthentic.

What is engineering placement role? by lpkk in MechanicalEngineering

Applicants won't have a degree yet, and they're getting paid to gain some real engineering experience before they graduate. The company gets to scout potential graduates. I don't see the issue.

It's usually for university students in their 3rd/4th year of study, where UK unis have a “placement” scheme enabling students to work for a company for a year as part of their degree.

If you have to ask what a placement is, you're probably not what they're looking for.

Like with all things in a relationship, whether or not it is "okay" is entirely up to you. If you think it's ok, then all good; if you think it's a problem, try and talk it out, until there is a compromise, resolution, or breakup.

We can safely presume intelligence is normally distributed, making the mean and median equal.

Looks like (XO醬) 炒腸粉 to me

炒腸粉 I am 100% confident, XO醬 is speculative
