I got some shoes a few months ago at Fleet Feet — giving them a shoutout because they have employees who generally really know their stuff — and the guy said he’s seeing running shoes last about 6 months with regular wear, and you could maybe stretch it to a year with some insoles. And these are the good supportive ones, so I can’t even imagine what the Vans and Sketchers are doing to your musculature.
They seem like more of a sack-tap crowd
As long as it’s not street beer, which could lead to the abuse of non-prescription booze.
Ayn Rand is already a terrible choice, but the results of half-assing it? Yikes
It’d be an insult to Hoffa
A thin layer on new car battery posts when you put a new one in to help protect from corrosion. Cheaper than the anti-corrosion spray and you probably have some lying around.

Cannot emphasize enough how important it is to ask questions if anything is unclear. Stay after class for a few minutes if you need to. Use office hours if you can. The students who did the best in my classes always asked for clarification on stuff and I was thrilled to take time and give whatever help I could. It shows that you’re making an effort to learn, and you’ll stand out (which can sometimes count for a little extra something at the end of the semester if you’re on the fence between two grades).
Inevitably followed by “don’t like what we’re doing/how we’re doing stuff? At least we’re not MAGA”
Big Black’s recording of Pig Pile. Not even a top 10 band for me, but the energy of that show is incredible.

Naughty? Like how they’re doo-doo feces?
Cases of a favorite beer sounds like a good idea! My mom always urged some kind of consumable as a gift in these situations. Consider if there’s anything unique to where you’re going (e.g. if I went to Hawaii, I’d bring back a Kona blend coffee).
THANKS OBAMA
That’s a little kind.
