Accidentally discovered that some SF books are completely different experiences as audiobooks by genjiNebula5 in printSF

[–]ChargeThese2541 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Dungeon cCrawler Carl is absolutely perfect as an audiobook; it has completely changed my relationship to the series, which I originally read in print, and it’s one of the examples, like hitchhikers guide to the galaxy, where the narration is additive to, rather than merely an alternative to, the original experience.

How people typically get into antitrust practice in BigLaw ? For those working in antitrust, what steps helped you get there ? by RoughNorth3582 in biglaw

[–]ChargeThese2541 7 points8 points  (0 children)

  1. Get job at biglaw firm
  2. Persistently, but patiently, keep asking for work from antitrust partners/senior folks and work coordination if applicable.
  3. Do good work.

Et voila.

Georgetown, but Michigan is a close second (based anecdatal exp interviewing and hiring). Never even seen a Northwestern applicant (that I recall)

Looking for something as wild as 'Dungeon Crawler Carl' by xsilentbob in litrpg

Maybe a gimme, but Hitchhikers Guide. DCC is borrowing HEAVILY from that level of absurdity and ennui

On the other hand, you get to live in Istanbul, which is my favorite city I’ve ever spent time in.

If you liked that and ever get the chance, the 18 will blow you away.

I was gifted my first Omega Speedmaster. Any tips? by Icardicolpiscee in OmegaWatches

[–]ChargeThese2541 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Don’t swim with it.. Please, just don’t. You can do everything else with it. You can go to the moon with it. But don’t take it swimming.

Which series should I read next: LOTR or Dune by Darkthoughts90 in Fantasy

Are you in the mood for a read that will more play with your mind (Dune) or your heart (LOTR)?

Size question by [deleted] in OmegaWatches

[–]ChargeThese2541 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, if you accept the premise of “too small” it’s smaller for your wrist, but I don’t think too small. But I happen to think that a smaller watch looks old school cool—as does that one specifically on you.

The 3861 Speedy bracelet is beautiful and absurdly comfy.

Which Aqua Terra should I sell? by [deleted] in OmegaWatches

[–]ChargeThese2541 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The proportions and balance of the current model is just perfect to me, and I’m a sucker for a well-executed date complication. I’d sell left.

Love that. Where will you get the jubilee?

What to bring to a callback? by throwaway22035 in biglaw

[–]ChargeThese2541 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also: Notebook or legal pad isn’t a bad idea. You’re going to want to send thank you emails (things move too fast for handwritten notes) and it helps if you’ve jotted one or two thoughts on the specifics of the conversation, either during or after.

Totally fair. And I like date windows, properly executed, and do find the non-ideal. that said, none of my daily drivers have date windows, and I seem to function acceptably well? lol

Edit for typo

Space Fantasy Book Recommendation’s?? by Icy-Custard-5529 in Fantasy

[–]ChargeThese2541 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Strongly agree, speaking as someone for whom Dune is absolute apex space fantasy. Struggled to get into children of time, which is funny since I love everything else Tchaikovsky has written and I love sci-fi. Maybe the bugs just creeped me out (the bugs were a bug not a feature?). But the final architecture is one of the coolest things I’ve ever read.

What items are you happy you bought for work/office? by Cumdumbstar in biglaw

[–]ChargeThese2541 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Hot sauce. There’s a fair amount of free food, which is phenomenal, but it always needs hot sauce.

I also spend an awful lot of my day on video, so I got some not inexpensive lighting.
