When in doubt I would basically suggest not overspending when moving off to college for the first time
Take things simple, get adjusted, and then expand where you need to

I never went to Purdue specifically but I can’t imagine there’s any reason it wouldn’t be just as good of an idea to do there as it was at michigan

please invest in a good u-lock for said bike
also if you need to keep it outside buy a bike bag to keep the rain and especially snow off of it

idk wirecutter tends to give me pretty much everything i’m looking for. i used to use it way more often, but the quality of the site overall declined a bit after the NYT buyout. Like the quality of the review articles themselves seem to be more or less the same, but overall the site has gotten worse in a few areas. Even if I don’t find exactly what I’m looking for, I tend to have a much better idea of how to find the thing I am and learn new things I should be caring about that I didn’t realize I was before. And I can easily send it to someone else, like an older relative, and tell them to buy something from the page that’s in their price range after reading the article myself and again that’s just a way better experience than it would with a YT video

I don’t dislike Wirecutter
I just don’t think it even approaches Jarrod’s Tech when it comes to what an electrical engineering student would be interested in analyzing when trying to pick out a laptop
Would I send Jarrod’s Tech to my grandma if she wanted to find a laptop? No. But for sulit that’s definitely the best resource.

Just gonna own up to being an enormous fucking dweeb, but I found a site with high quality guides on lacing shoes. It has an index of various methods, and diagrams you can flip and adjust the number of eyelets being laced. It’s just perfect. Why the fuck would I ever want a video over something like that

im ngl the fact it’s video content literally does not factor into me recommending Jarrod’s Tech here whatsoever
if it was written I would still recommend it
if it was a podcast (weird but aight) I’d still recommend it

I’ve seen this site. I forget why it was relevant but we were talking about it. And all my friends did the pentagram lace on their shoes but I couldn’t because I had no suitable shoes :’(
