Hear me out, in a way that's actually better, because you can modify the original models to make them better.

Like the guards on these razors have usually annoying flaws: they are too thick, which pushes a lot of hair down, and the bottom is too round and doesn't lift the hair. You can take the model from Philips, remix it, and get exactly what you need.

And if the company is smart, it will enable sharing of improved models.

And don't forget that photoshopped tattoos count!

Fun fact: when I was in college, we still used that style of cursive for the names of vectors.

Well, I mean, that's one way to get a cheap divorce, no?

Obviously, your mental health and well-being and that of your partner are the first consideration. Please do whatever the two of you need to survive the times.

That said, when I read, "it's either me or these beliefs/trump," I wondered how you would have reacted if your dad had said you have to choose between him and being gay/your partner. I assume you might have shut the door in his face, felt good about it, and never looked back.

I doubt he'll feel any different about it.

If only! That's <$300 total "savings," but the proposal is to return only 20% of it, so something <$60

Cars are the tip of the iceberg. What about smart home appliances, like garage door openers, or door locks? They all come with their stupid apps, and once the company is dead, suddenly your home stops working.

We really need mandatory standards: post APIs for client-server connectivity and make the connection URL configurable.
