Because companies mostly don't want the degree to prove skill sets, which is why they don't generally ask for transcripts, just that you have a degree in a somewhat related field. The value of a bachelor's degree to a company is that it proves the applicant is capable of undertaking a ~4 year commitment, achieving a tangible result, and that they pass a threshold competence at navigating beaurocracies and interacting with other humans. The specific skills/experience the company wants are much better assessed using prior experience, interviews, assessments, etc.
The brakes are probably worse, depending on the bike and how nice a bike you'd compare it to could be quite a bit worse. If you're just riding casually and have foresight it's not going to make or break it though. Oh, and modern shifters are a lot easier, but again not going to be life changing unless you're riding a ton, especially on uneven terrain
I got a "bespoke" suit for my wedding a couple years ago for ~$1600 for a 3-piece suit and a shirt. They did the measurements/fabric in-house but the actual making was outsourced to China, then they did final alterations in-house, so it may have been hybrid between bespoke and made to measure for all I know. At least in my area that was pretty cost competitive for all-wool canvased suits (I shopped around a lot), but your mileage and sale timing may vary significantly, as will your priority on natural fibers and canvased vs fused
It is definitely an arms race between better bots and better anti-bot, but part of that paradigm is that it gets more expensive to participate in the race the faster it gets. If valve applied the acceleration even a little bit, the number of bots would at least temporarily be reduced, which would make the player experience astronomically better. No bots whatsoever is unreasonable, but most pubs being 50% bots or more means they can effectively vote-ban anyone and is untenable
Aldi in the US always gives me the option at checkout to pay later, I've never explored it to find out the fine print
Definitely not my genre, but you could try The Rosie Project by Graeme Simsion? It's fairly comedic but I think checks all your boxes pretty well, including the last two (maybe not quite hate but definitely don't view each other as romantic prospects)
