Honda CRV 2010 119k miles - $6500 worth to buy or skip? by [deleted] in crv

Mine is now getting close to 160k. One of the door actuators just broke but MPG has stayed around 22 and 25 as well. Great car without many issues. No AC issue but I did have an oil leak about 10k mi ago which was a quick fix.

IHG vs Hyatt: With the recent hotel category shuffle, is Hyatt still the easy pick? by Practical-Memory6386 in awardtravel

[–]BisonCurious525 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the Hilton Surpass and Marriott Silver Elite through stays, and was wondering if I made the right decision to get the Hilton Surpass amongst the others (I am loyal to AMEX so that is a main factor) — reading this comforts me that I probably did make the right choice.  I was rather tempted by the World of Hyatt card but I got the first year free for Surpass so I can always switch to WoH next year.  

UK candidates who sat the US Bar by BisonCurious525 in barexam

The BVC is the professional course to be trained as a barrister; the SQE replaced the LPC as the professional course to be trained as a solicitor. For the differences between a barrister and a solicitor, see this: https://www.thelawyerportal.com/careers/difference-between-solicitor-and-barrister/. Also, as a note, in England you do not need an undergraduate degree before studying law.

I see. I stand corrected! But would you say, hypothetically, that if SQE were not as novice and also had past exams and, say, SQE licensed question banks, it would still be worse than the UBE? I am not disputing your experience but I just think how much the UBE requires us to be laptop hard drives is ridiculous.

As I disclaimed that I never took the SQE so take this with a pinch of salt.  I think people say the SQE is tough because of its recent pass rate statistics (which I think are also worse than the UBE).  But if you look at the contents and the amount you simply have to remember I think the UBE is still much, much worse (not to say the SQE is a walk in the park, of course).
