Use a double Windsor in front of a jury. And only if the tie is long enough to end at your belt.

I had to get some ties lengthened to even do a four-in-hand.
I have a bunch of fancy trail lawyer stuff I never really get to use anymore like bespoke suits, over a dozen allen edmonds, and I regret nothing.

Never tie a tie on a kid. Tie it first and just slip it over their noggins.

Calvin and Hobbes remains the only comic with the skill and verve to pull off depicting a child about to be executed by hanging.

This does not make sense when, again, aggregate indicia also indicate improvements. The belief that things are worse is false. It remains false.
Bolo tie supremacy. Perfect for any occasion, a good one can be used as an improvised garrote.

Also, to continue my mission of thread cross-pollination, from the federal jobs thread:

This depresses me a lot: we have a bunch of homeless employees at my facility.

I personally know two of the homeless working here: a GS-12 and GS-11. The only reason I know is because they are friends and trusted me enough to tell me about their situations. There is a large amount of shame that keeps people from talking about it.

I have no clue how the GS-5 mailclerks or GS-7 admin staff exist. I know some have 3-5 hour commutes per day.

This place (bay area) is broken beyond repair.

I don't buy this. Yeah, you'll have a lovely commute, but gs-11 pays at 70k with locality in the bay and, hell, you can live on BART at that rate if you're not that picky. You can even be picky if you're single with low debt.

Vallejo also still exists and has a ferry to SF.

after looking at a bunch of poo poo that I'd need to tailor to fit, I found an off the shelf suit in macy's that looks pretty decent so I don't have to spend any real suit money yet.

I do wish I could find three button jackets. I don't like the two button style that's en vogue now.
