You have `as const`. Yes I know it's not enforced at runtime, but the type system does support it.

My understanding is that race cars with sequential shifting mostly use dog gearboxes, and having a gearbox that you slam into gear would probably not be very comfortable for the car's occupants vs a gearbox with synchromesh.

This could maybe be useful if you have a (race) car with a sequential gearbox, but for a regular H-pattern, it seems rather pointless, other than fun and novelty factor.

I drive a Passat GTE with lane assist and adaptive cruise control, but if you let go of the wheel for more than a few seconds it starts nagging you to take control of the vehicle again.

I don't think they have ads in all countries. I live in Norway and have not heard a single ad. When I was in the UK a couple of months ago, I received ads.

My wife is a teacher, and they are not allowed to take students' phones during class, as the school then would be responsible for the phones; "where is my iPhone, I put it in the box?", "my phone is scratched, it was fine when I gave it to you", the list goes on...

As others have already written, people with engineering degrees who speak English shouldn't have a hard time getting a job in the major cities. I work as a developer in Oslo, and know for a fact that developers are in high demand.
