IIRC mine (as an employee, not HR) verified some stuff on my CV (education details I think).

I'm vegetarian and mostly keep to a vegan diet.

I guess my experience has been that those things are mentioned more as novelties, as in, "hey crazy thing but instead of kale chips you can eat sour patch kids!" But that's just my experience.

I think in a developed nation, "veganism" almost always connotes some amount of health consciousness, which can be expensive. Different, I imagine, in rice-and-lentils developing parts of the world.

AFAIK Oreos, sour patch kids, taco bell bean burritos, and ~~McD's French fries~~ are vegan...but they're not associated with "vegan culture."

Edit: strike through fries

Other comment says there is a way from inside, just not outside (which doesn't help with a young kid/toddler/baby is the inside passenger of course).

Either way, glad this is "only" a huge embarrassment, and not a dead kid.

Is there any consensus as to the internal organs/stuff which maybe doesn't fossilize well? Like, did they just evolve a bitchin' chassis but they're constantly tinkering with the internal bits?

Yeah, I feel like the right has such a black-and-white/zero nuance view of things. So then the left goes and does the same thing!

My sense is that these A*AB movements are really trying to say, "the institution of X is fundamentally flawed," and that's something I agree with definitely. But it's worded provocatively, which is just...assinine. Like, the little old lady who would be priced out of her home if not for renting out a room to a college kid, below market value? Yeah total bastard...

AFAIK in the USA you can't have the main batteries be replaceable (I think an aux battery for wireless functions is allowed...).

EDIT: I seem to be thinking of California, maybe not all of US.

What country? AFAIK in the US you can't make the batteries replaceable. If they are wirelessly linked they can have auxiliary batteries for that, but (I believe) that's different than the main battery...

with the ever present threat of hurricanes

That may be true for Florida, but that's not really relevant for northern California/PNW/many, many other parts of the world...

If you can get to work on city streets, there's a good chance you can bike or take public transportation. Nothing evil about that!

Funding agencies have huge power here; demanding that research be published in OA journals is perhaps a good start (with limits on $ spent publishing, perhaps).
