Although in fairness they were both centrists who pivoted more center, which imo is a recipe for disaster especially for women candidates who are just never going to capture significant rightwing votes. Kamala in particular started out really really strongly and lost more and more support as she gave up leftwing talking points

They mean viewpoint. Was it a first person camera game, were you seeing your character top down, was it a side scrolling platformer, etc.

That’s amazing but I think you’re in the minority

I think machine compatibility plays a huge role, some machines do mostly ‘just work’ while others are a pain. It also definitely requires some tinkering, though mostly on setup or on the first week or two in my experience.

Also, ymmv and a lot of people swear by them but I’ve never had good luck with Ubuntu based distro, they’ve always been super buggy with hard to track fixes for me. I like fedora a lot better and it similarly has decent (though not nearly as extensive) community support for weird bugs, but I know people swear by many things.

Taller, worse station wagons since the extra height dramatically increases fuel consumption and rates of severe injury in crashes, while also making rolls more likely.

No, but it does play a pretty significant role in how much influence they have to control AI

While true we’re also in the ‘do literally anything you can to stop or stall the fascists"’ stage and this denies a greater Republican controlled house

Not unless you want to be halfway competent at both, rather than well-qualified and hireable for either. Genetic engineering in particular is a rapidly evolving field, and if you take tons of extra time to complete your degree (or finish and then work as an electrician or something else for 5 years) what you learned at the beginning probably won’t be more relevant than any other wet science experience. As the first response said, what’s important is that you demonstrate that you can self-motivate and learn. Any biology related bachelor degree should help you get your foot in the door of any biological or even chemical science job–you’ll have to sell yourself to a greater or lesser degree, but you have to do that for a job interview anyway.

All that a second qualification, whether that’s electrician, plumber, stenographer, etc. would do for you is make it more likely that your lifetime career will be that secondary qualification. If that’s what you want then why bother with genetic engineering, and if it’s not then fast-track genetic engineering and know that if you need a bridge job it’ll be at a lower salary, but that you’ll be getting your main job earlier in life so it’ll even out.

Used to be true, not consistently so since COVID or so. I had to buy a car about two years ago and brand new cars with full warranties were only $1-2k more and with better financing offers than 2-4 year used cars with limited warranties. It got better for a bit but apparently used car prices are spiking again

Personal experience but I’ve found that Ubuntu breaks far more easily if I’m doing anything nonstandard, and doing nonstandard things is the whole reason I’m on Linux. Probably this is because of snaps, but as a new user it’s hard to tell where things were installed and how. Switched to fedora and had a lot more success and didn’t go back, so maybe as a power user I’d be able to figure it out more, but not worth it imo.

It depends heavily on the area, with the rural mountains and coast distorting the average. But in a city in the central Piedmont (where most people are moving) $3k for a 3 bed 2+ bath is probably a good median. However, our schools are in the bottom third of the country, our waterways are routinely contaminated as in this article, and our public transit basically doesn’t exist outside of very small areas of downtowns. Ohio has better public libraries, schools, and arts institutions, and was way cheaper to live in, though maybe they have higher property tax rate there even if the absolute value of a similar home is less. NJ does have wicked taxes, but you also have some of the best schools and pretty good infrastructure, so I’d take it.

Taxes aren’t even that low here for how badly public services fail.
