... If you have exceedingly long dress code standard (and because it is so long it allows for quite a lot of leeway in terms of what you actually can wear) then what you wear to work effectively becomes a uniform.
Uniforms purchased for work are tax deductible.

I'll add this is very old news.
It pisses me off to no end when other parents complement me on my children's manners, as if they were born with them instead of having it (literally and metaphorically) drubbed into them day in and day out for years.
Why should it piss you off, since they're complimenting you on your continued diligence in dutiful daily drubbings?
I personally take compliments on my kids behavior as an extra pat on the back. Given my genes (and my childhood behavior) my kids were predisposed to be rabid jackals. The fact that they are not I take as a compliment to my efforts.
Now, complements on my kids' intelligence... don't please me as much. At their current young age they got that mostly from my DNA and not from my parenting. Besides, it's not as developmentally productive to praise 'inherent traits' as it is to praise hard work.
You see what I did there?
... if not for those damn conference calls at work.
Although it begs the question: If you're in a conference room with a few other people, gathered around the speakerphone, are you really "on" the phone?
Or are only the poor shmucks dialing into the daily TPS meeting "on the phone" while you're just "in a meeting"?
Maybe vote for Cthulhu here, too. At least he'll deliver on his promises of a fiery end of the world.
Why settle for the lesser of two evils when you can have The Most Evil Candidate Possible?
I couldn't agree more.
Far more likely people will be strapped into "total body controllers" that let them log into remote robots (or virtual spaces) long before the flying car is perfected.
In the future, [study leader Fernando Galembeck, Ph.D.] added, it may be possible to develop collectors, similar to the solar cells that collect the sunlight to produce electricity, to capture hygroelectricity and route it to homes and businesses. Just as solar cells work best in sunny areas of the world, hygroelectrical panels would work more efficiently in areas with high humidity, such as the northeastern and southeastern United States and the humid tropics.
Galembeck said that a similar approach might help prevent lightning from forming and striking. He envisioned placing hygroelectrical panels on top of buildings in regions that experience frequent thunderstorms. The panels would drain electricity out of the air, and prevent the building of electrical charge that is released in lightning.
