i always thought that a wife beater was a sleeveless vest.. what we call a string vest or sometimes a muscle tee. a tank top in uk parlance is a sweater (which we'd call a jumper) without sleeves
Tank top means something entirely different in some parts of Europe. For instance, in some areas it means the roof that used to be on a Russian armored vehicle. Just a nuance in the meaning.
Smart move, making it resemble a kitty cat. Appealing, but avoiding the Uncanny Valley effect of making it look in any wise human.
They have them but their functionality is limited. You need a variety of knife cuts from conflicting angles. And robots can't taste things and adjust recipes. Sometimes, the lemons might be too bright and need more sugar. Or a stock might have reduced too far and need more salt. More trouble than it's worth.

We had to bury a cat today at work, or more accurately re-bury a cat. We were just about to do the line markings on a football pitch when a lady walking her dog informed us a cat had been dug up by something. It looked like the thing had been buried by its owner but not very deep, so something had got a whiff of it and decided to investigate. Not something I signed up for when I took the job.
So what's a pullover then? Is it an umbrella term for what Americans call a sweater, with or without sleeves?
we call them jerseys too - or football shirts / rugby shirts (bearing in mind that football is what you call soccer - we don't play american football much) a pull over or a jumper is a knitted sweater - sweatshirts are the fabric kind of sweater , or a fleece if its made out of the micro fleece type of material,... fleeces usually have a 1/4, 1/2, or full zip , sweatshirts usually have a round neck with no zip (there are exceptions to both), hoodies are a sweatshirt but with a hood
I don't have time for any of this- I need to take the elevator (lift) down to the parking lot (car park) and put this bag of chips (packet of crisps) in the trunk (boot) of my car next to the wrenches (spanners). But I need to be careful because my soccer (football) uniform (kit) is in there. Wouldn't want stains on my jersey when I take the field (pitch)!
The official Windows developer documentation team at Microsoft decided to ask Microsoft Archivist Amy Stevenson "What was the largest piece of software we ever shipped?" The answer may surprise you... [T]he award goes to Microsoft C/C++ compiler with the Windows SDK, which was released in 1992 and weighed over 40 pounds. It included Microsoft C/C++ 7.0 in a box that was more than two feet long and allowed a developer to produce MS-DOS, Windows, and OS/2 applications. As Stevenson points out, "we never did that again,"
With long sleeves. Could be a sweater, a sweatshirt, or (possibly) what is sometimes referred to as a long-sleeve tee shirt. In the U.S. (at least, this corner thereof), a sleeveless sweater is called a sweater vest.
If you spend a large amount of time in space, your feet become smooth and soft. Also, your blood pressure drops as the heart no longer needs to work against gravity. It's kind of mind-blowing that our bodies can adapt to conditions that no Earthborn creature has ever experienced. This also makes it harder for men to get erections in space--which sounds trivial, but there is serious study into the issue, which could be important when it comes to sustaining extraterrestrial colonies in the long term. In one of the final battles of the Russo-Japanese war, a young officer named Yamamoto suffered a hand injury that cost him two fingers. If he'd lost a third, he would have been discharged on medical grounds, and would never have become the Admiral of the Japanese navy during WW2.
Well I had to research that one. Yes, the low-gravity decreases blood to the lower half of the body and also testosterone levels decrease in space. But also, fluid shifts produce some rock-hard erections. “A couple of times, I would wake up from sleep periods and I had a boner that I could have drilled through kryptonite,” astronaut Mike Mullane told Men's Health. https://melmagazine.com/en-us/story/space-boners-its-harder-to-get-hard-in-space
Ford unsuccessfully tried to reinvent the steering wheel in the 1960s by replacing it with a pair of twisty dials. It never caught on.
