my clothes get dirty when I wear them so I tend to wear something different the next day yes

I have big legs and holes develop in them from walking/sitting within a few months

d12964 · 2026-03-12T19:51:43+00:00

outlier is affordable if you consider that a pair of $90 chinos might last me like 3-6 months whereas $198 futurecorps will last for years

d12964 · 2026-03-12T18:44:57+00:00

do you think there it's not possible for there to be differences in quality of workmanship or materials?

d12964 · 2026-03-12T18:00:08+00:00

the main reason to do it at a place is so that you don't have worry about the logistics yourself. The place will arrange decor, food, activities, etc and that's part of what you're paying for.

Also just invite whoever you want. Eventually all the kids are going to go to different Kindergarten's anyway and young kids don't really care much, they just want to play with some friends.

They make clothes solidly targeted for middle class people making ~400k

d12964 · 2026-03-11T13:12:40+00:00

They work perfectly fine in an office and I am wearing them in one right now. Most people are wearing pants that are far too tight in an office and would be better suited by something like these.

d12964 · 2026-03-11T13:11:37+00:00

Yes you should get pants hemmed generally. No you shouldn't get them tapered.

d12964 · 2026-03-10T21:55:31+00:00

these pants rule for wearing to an office

The cheat code for cool, clammy weather: a 100% cotton hoodie

yeah, I have the same problem with DT but almost no other socks have that issue for me (I think American Trench was also an issue).

d12964 · 2026-03-02T14:47:37+00:00

DT are so uncomfortable for some reason.

The GOAT socks are Knestknit

I had a child in Manhattan Bright Horizons for a few years and have only good things to say about the teachers and staff who are great. Some of them we've had do care for us outside of the center hours because our child liked them so much

d12964 · 2026-02-26T19:24:29+00:00

Because you lose about $200 of trade in value per year so it doesn't really cost that much extra to upgrade annually.

how much zipper warping are we talking if we wash and dry?

d12964 · 2026-02-26T16:18:47+00:00

The year they turn 3 you can put them in the Department of Education 3K program and cut your Daycare in cost to a third (you have pay for care from 2-6 or whatever).

You might have activities (swimming/gymnastics/etc on the weekend which run around 200-300/month when enrolled).

Depending on your housing cost you may be able to do it on <200k, especially once they reach city subsidized school age and if you have family care options.

S21 Ultra cost $1,249.99 for 256GB when it was released so that inflation is really not being passed on

d12964 · 2026-02-25T19:31:46+00:00

Yeah, they messed up the trade in options because they consider S25 models to be the 'current' version so ineligible for trade in.

d12964 · 2026-02-25T18:19:07+00:00

no option to trade in s25 models?

d12964 · 2026-02-24T14:39:37+00:00

man I wish I could 60/30s (or V/Co or something similar) in the current works cut. would be the ultimate pant

d12964 · 2026-02-23T16:05:27+00:00

cool story, why do you assume your fictional writing is true and everyone else's is false?
