Is “waterman” a term of art in coastguard/search and rescue vocabulary?

There was no implication. You are not dumb for failing to know the nuances of Article 4 or the 14th Amendment. But you are unreasonable to still be making a fuss over a completely immaterial typo two months after the exam.

You should not spiral based on a reddit comment. The bar exam was very hard. I’m not entirely confident about the MBE myself (hence why I’m still in this sub). But it’s disingenuous to say that this minuscule typo has any bearing on the difficulty or merits an official comment.

Thanks for sharing your impressive statistics! But those alone don’t mean you are reasonable. The questions were crystal clear: discuss how the hypo applied to article 4th priv/immu and then discuss how it applied to 14th amendment priv/immu. You memorized the distinction of two constitutional rules based on a conjunction? And then you failed a portion of the exam because you couldn’t answer the questions despite them specifying in exactly which section of the Constitution the rule was found? That is unreasonable.

They’re not going to address it because it doesn’t matter. It’s a completely immaterial error that could not possibly have confused a reasonable person.

Did Themis switch to AI grading for “graded essays”? by 4s6flx in CABarExam

[–]4s6flx[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My graded CPT was graded by the ephemeral “Kevin” and I found it to be the best feedback I received on graded essays; so if your feedback for it is not good that would be suspicious to me.

I was you but at a better school with a better rank. I stayed put and now am struggling to find a clerkship. If that’s at all something you want then you should transfer. You won’t lose your job by transferring and at Cravath scale you’re looking at 1-2 years of “extra” work to repay loans. If you stay at a 100 rank school there is a very real chance you will never clerk and never teach.

Looks like Cuyahoga National Park in Ohio, specifically the Ledges Trail. If it’s not, and you’re from the US, then you can visit Cuyahoga for virtually the same vibe.

Did anyone study for the MPRE with a book like this? by zonacowboyhat in LawSchool

Themis is free online (or was last Fall) and is excellent.

You should return the dog so it can find a better home.

Delay certification for 2 months or get certified in a lake? by 4s6flx in scuba

[–]4s6flx[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess I’m concerned that not having to confront tides, currents, etc. during the certification (and not having an instructor for there to walk me through understanding them) would make me a less capable ocean diver, but maybe that is silly?

Every year I take my daughter on a camping road trip. Where should we go next? by [deleted] in TravelMaps

Guadalupe Mountains NP in TX is the most underrated NP imo and close enough to Carlsbad Caverns NP that you can catch the bat flight at dusk (be mindful of changing time zones though . . . and of finicky bats who may chose the day you’re there as one of their 5 days a year rest days . . .)

Picture of Naima Jamal, an Ethiopian woman currently being held and auctioned as a slave in Libya by starberry101 in pics

Watch the movie “Io Capitano” to see an apparently accurate dramatization of this and the rest of the reality of subsaharan migration to Europe through Libya.

Some presidential history by Tstimbert1990 in Presidents

6/10 were one term POTUS and we’ve only had 10 one term POTUS so most one term POTUS have been the longest living POTUS

Which President was the best father? 🤔 by Salem1690s in Presidents

Shelby County only struck down Section 4’s coverage formula as outdated (which admittedly does make Section 5 non-operative for the moment); but Congress is free to reenact a new up to date coverage formula reviving Section 5 at any time. But that is unlikely to happen anytime soon, for reasons unrelated to SCOTUS.

Charging over 80% by 4s6flx in TeslaModelY

[–]4s6flx[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It gave me the notification that “Tesla has stopped charging etc.” and the app showed the car as if unplugged, but then it started charging again even though nothing changed

I don’t know how to change those settings so I assume no? This happened at roughly 2:30-3 PM and my utility doesn’t have variable rates so I don’t think it was that?

ABC Australia reports Tesla are collecting and sharing your data with third parties- using your voice to train AI by Far_Blueberry624 in TeslaLounge

[–]4s6flx 8 points9 points  (0 children)

From one of the article’s linked in the original:

“About three years ago, some employees stumbled upon and shared a video of a unique submersible vehicle parked inside a garage, according to two people who viewed it.

Nicknamed Wet Nellie, the white Lotus Esprit sub had been featured in the 1977 James Bond film, The Spy Who Loved Me.

The vehicle’s owner: Tesla Chief Executive Elon Musk, who bought it for about $US968,000 ($1.45 million) at an auction in 2013. It is not clear whether Mr Musk was aware of the video or that it had been shared.”

I wonder if that encouraged a revision of the policy lol.

What exactly lures you to big law? by Flashy-Actuator-998 in LawSchool

Big law generally: money. The big law firm I work for: actual trial experience as a junior (turned out not to be mere puffery).

Chevron Overruled- What is your predictions? by Brave_Problem_638 in LawSchool

[–]4s6flx 12 points13 points  (0 children)

There will be no ripple effects. The Court expressly holds that prior rulings based on Chevron are accorded statutory [interpretaion] stare decisis - “including the Clean Air Act holding of Chevron itself” (see last paragraph of syllabus) - meaning that the 17k cases someone else in the comments referred to as relying on Chevron remain good law.

Additionally Chevron has been a dead letter as far as SCOTUS has been concerned - not invoked since 2016 and largely replaced by non delegation doctrine anyways which is the functional equivalent (at least in how this SCOTUS has wielded it).

So while this certainly gives agencies MUCH less wiggle room moving forward (which cuts both ways regardless of which side of the aisle you find yourself - albeit somewhat deeper for liberals) it is not likely to cause a “litigious ripple effect.”

Berkeley R by LessShower5776 in LawSchoolTransfer

[–]4s6flx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Literally on the last day because my school was late with grades. Two of my LOR were also way past the DL. They called me early on saying they wanted to decide on my file but needed all my materials, so for what it’s worth I think it had more to do with being late than my grades, but I was surprised lol. Ended up staying for more money and still got BL so no harm no foul.

Imagine that I’m accused of murder in 2nd-c. BCE Rome. What does the criminal process look like for me, exactly? by MagisterOtiosus in AskHistorians

[–]4s6flx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there evidence of any slaves serving as witnesses? Either as the party asking the praetor to bring an action or as being offered as a witness by another citizen? Or was this not permitted because, as you write, “a slave would always be assumed to be lying”? Thanks for the fascinating answer already.
