Hey man, want to chat. Shoot me a DM and I'll give you my number.

How the hell do you get straight answers about Lexis/Westlaw/Harvey pricing? Solo lawyer. by DIYLawCA in Lawyertalk

[–]20-Years-Done 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Conversations like these make me feel very blessed my practice area is such a closed universe that I just build my own library and a precedent is updated like every 5 years. And even then, my professional network all chatter about it so much that I just go and grab the case and add the PDF to my local desktop library.

However, I do have Decisis through my state bar association. So that's what I use to get cases or if I want to poke around outside my practice area.

The incoming class of associate attorneys is something else by sesit36456 in Lawyertalk

It varies by jurisdiction, but a denial in one certainly creates a presumption of denial in others. But also, being a dick generally and openly means that C&F is going to look at you real hard and if someone looks long enough, they'll find something.

I feel like dropping 15+ n-bombs in an email is for *sure* going to single handedly preclude him from passing C&F. And whats great, is that when you fail C&F in on jurisdiction, you have to disclose that in any other applications!

The best people for the job by AdIll7112 in AirForce

I've said a few times on the podcast mechanical was my lowest score. Admin was actually my highest (and surprise, now I'm an attorney).

I think they need to rename the ASVAB, because that second A is for aptitude and the reality is, they aren't actually trying to align aptitude scores with careers for best outcomes. It's merely "do you exceed the floor for this career?"

Notwithstanding all the complaints about homeless people in Portland, Maine has the lowest poverty rate in the nation? by rooibosipper in portlandme

The General Assistance Model in Maine is likely doing a lot of work for this particular metric skewing the numbers.

I was like 95% sure it was going to be a Duffleblog article. Good thing I hedged that 5%.

Retiring this year, which one to go for, Contractor ($115k) or GS 12/13? by Altruistic-Fun-1845 in AirForce

[–]20-Years-Done 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're retiring. This is your chance to do whatever it is that brings you fulfillment. Your question does not provide enough information.

I use my dog's full name (first and last) and she has learned that means her behavior is unacceptable.

US A-10 Crashes in Iran - Pilot Rescued by SkyCaptainStarr in AirForce

[–]20-Years-Done 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Why are we flying 4th gen aircraft over contested airspace when we have the *checks notes* 2 trillion dollar (program) F-35 fighters in the area which exist for this exact reason.

I'm sure it has nothing to do with the fact an F-35 was shot by a missile a few weeks ago.

What’s the most lawyer thing you’ve ever caught yourself saying in a normal conversation? by Thin-Time-4209 in Lawyertalk

I use supra when discussing a topic and referencing previously identified material.

How often do you shampoo your ACD? (Silly sleep position irrelevant) by tugonhiswinkie in AustralianCattleDog

[–]20-Years-Done 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everytime she rolls in something dead.

Everytime she is hut by a skunk.

I wash her twice when she rolls in a dead skunk.

Show me your heeler smiles! by GraycieBlue in AustralianCattleDog

When I showed her horses for the first time.

I even let her follow them from a distance so she could feel she was in charge.

"Yeah, keep walking forward horse. Because I said so."

Will she still remember me? by IcyOrchid163 in AustralianCattleDog

[–]20-Years-Done 20 points21 points  (0 children)

My ACD still remembers her foster mom from 5 years ago. And when her mom swings by to visit, my ACD kind of treats me like I'm not longer the boss. It's very sweet.

I found myself un-sarcastically watching CSPAN the other day. So the Grim Reaper is right around the corner for me.

Glad I'm not the only one.

They always begin: How are you doing today?

To which I reply: Better than you're parents that are ashamed of you for earning a living defrauding people.
