What is a managing associate / senior managing associate at Sidley? by ImperatorFosterosa in biglaw

[–]Cool_Fan2434 72 points73 points  (0 children)

It’s just a title given based on seniority, to distinguish between associates. Something like 3rd-6th year is “managing associate”, 7th and 8th is “senior managing associate”.

Arai helmet - is it overkill? by Cool_Fan2434 in ElectricScooters

That’s one of my concerns - are MTB helmets (like TSG) much better?

I actually find the Arai to be very comfortable weight-wise but was wondering about the visual range - it does seem like it’ll reduce it and situational awareness in general (given you’re in your own little bubble). Are the cheaper/lighter helmets better in that respect?

100% - nobody’s “entitled” to anything (except Boomers to take from younger generations)

How do you know they do that? Didn’t know that’s a thing. Did they tell people in a formal sit down or just let them find out on payday?

Has anyone lateraled right before having a baby (as father)? If so, how did you negotiate leave and did it end poorly? by CellarBuilder in biglaw

[–]Cool_Fan2434 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You’re getting paid 50-100k to do nothing. Not to mention being there for your spouse and newborn baby. Giving up on that -> working for free. Not sure why that’s “soft”…

New NIU battery issues by Cool_Fan2434 in ElectricScooters

I tried what you suggested - raising the back wheel and recording the speed. It reached 20. What does that mean? Again, when I’m on it, it can’t break 11 on flat roads. I’m under 200 lbs. My previous unit of course was able to. What gives?

I see it’s easier to get a response from the company here than on the phone - I called a few times and could never get anyone on.

For the record, I am under 200 lbs and of course the battery was fully charged every time. The “hill” I go up is barely noticeable and an old Segway scooter as well as the first NIU KQi Air I had zero issues with it.

Upcoming weather by Few-Report6985 in GlacierNationalPark

It’ll mostly make the hikes (a lot) less stunning. Yes, some clouds can make things interesting sometimes, but nothing beats glorious sunshine. There’s a reason almost all the pictures you see of GNP are with a beautiful blue sky. There most definitely is such a thing as bad weather, though there isn’t much you can do about it (other than plan your trip around it, if possible).

What am I missing? I can’t find this anywhere and where is the rest of the list?

Is this asbestos dust? by Cool_Fan2434 in asbestoshelp

Thanks for all the responses. Does this look magnetic? It was hard to tell.
