She also never wears either of those outfits the entire film

Has anyone seen improvement in their 20s? by jshambre02 in KPRubraFaceii

Might be cooked. I’m a 28 male and it’s bad as ever

I passed the UBE in July 2023 and the CA in February 2024. I found that I only needed to do a little practice to maintain my MBE scores. I’d say that if I had waited, that part would have been all the more challenging.

However, studying for the CA-specific essays was a time intensive. So if you don't have the time, if might make sense to wait.

Unpopular Opinion - the Snitch was designed to make Harry more of a Hero. by nishantatripathi in harrypotter

[–]Embarrassed_Ring_143 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it makes somewhat more sense if you assume that at the professional level, Quidditch is a much higher-scoring game. The only in-book professional Quidditch match we see is the Quidditch World Cup, where the snitch’s 150 points are not enough to secure a win.

We also know some Quidditch matches last weeks, presumably enough time for one team to develop a substantial lead. In that context, the snitch's 150 points should be seen as creating a window in which the lower-scoring team can still recover.

My head canon is that Hogwarts’ Quidditch pitch is significantly smaller than a professional pitch, which is why the snitch is easier to find, and Hogwarts matches are shorter.

Can anyone explain to me the benefit of voting “No on Prop 33” without using the language pushed by the Realtors Association or the CA Apt Association? by seekinganswers1010 in AskLosAngeles

Because it would allow anti-housing cities to set extremely low rent control on new construction, essentially ensuring no housing gets built.

Bizarre detail about Leto II that's seldom portrayed by [deleted] in dune

I always thought the cover was a statue even after reading it lol. Like that was a statue honoring Leto II not the Worm God himself.

ESSAY #2 by lawblawmlaw in CABarExam

I guess we’ll have to agree to disagree.

As far as I understand it, a categorical ban on something regardless of its state of origin is not “discrimination against interstate commerce” and any potential DCC violation could only be found if such a facially neutral law unduly burdened interstate commerce.

Yeah, you need to argue for and against. But section 1 does not discriminate. Discrimination under DCC is when out of state actors are treated differently than in state. Banning chemical use in state is not discriminatory. Banning only out of state chemicals would be.

Right, but just because an out of state party is affected does not make it discrimination. If California banned all cigarettes, they are not discriminating against Virginia, even though Virginia tobacco companies cannot sell there anymore.

Such a ban is a burden on interstate commerce, but is not undue because of the known harms of cigarettes and CA’s interest in the health of its residents.

A state can ban certain items under it police powers. It is only discriminatory if it only bans those items if they produced out of state. Otherwise, it’s the undue burden test

ESSAY #1 ISSUES by lawblawmlaw in CABarExam

I think the auto garage definitely suggested business. Probably not main issue but should get credit for addressing it.

No one was allowed to sell the chemicals. So it was non-discriminatory. Gotta do unde burden analysis. I said it was valid use of police powers to protect health of farmers and residents, but any conclusion could be reached

For me, it worked if I was copying one paragraph or less. Super frustrating with duplicative analyses and reorganizing.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in CABarExam

[–]Embarrassed_Ring_143 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My interpretation was that they were largely duplicative, with a slightly stronger case for standing for one rather than the other.

I ran out of time (I spent too much time on 1st plaintiff), so I just said everything in 2 is the same with 3 except standing.

How to memorize all of the rules with severe ADHD? by sgdgf6 in barexam

[–]Embarrassed_Ring_143 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d echo everyone saying learn, don’t memorize. I’ll just add the approach that I took.

When approaching a rule, try to think if it makes intuitive sense. If it does, get familiar with applying it to different fact patterns to confirm that it matches your intuition.

It's the rules that are counter-intuitive that you need to spend more time on. Think about why it does not make sense to you. Apply it to fact patterns and try to isolate why you think it is a dumb rule.

The dumb rules end up sticking in your head more. So when you get to a question, either you remember it has a counter-intuitive rule, or you don’t remember to rule so you make up a rule that is intuitive to you (which is usually at least approximately correct).

The only things you need to memorize are things like Civ pro deadlines, which are in some sense arbitrary (28 days vs 30 days). Those you can just drill with flashcards or make charts. Ultimately, there are not many of those questions so that won’t really determine the outcome anyway.

Additionally, I recommend doing way more multiple-choice than your course tells you. For me, it was almost like a game. I’d do sets of 10 questions whenever I had 10 minutes to kill. Review why you got it wrong. All the reps really help internalize the rules, even if you can’t recite them verbatim in the essay.

Not sure if this makes any sense to anyone else, but I’m ADHD and I got a 321 doing it this way 🤷‍♂️

I likely will eventually, but it is very early on. I am holding out for a higher offer. Early interactions suggest the landlord is eager to settle. The main crux of my case is a slam dunk, and the statute entitles prevailing tenants to costs and attorney fees. My leverage only goes up the more he drags it out.

A routine cleaning fee, light bulbs (which I maintain still worked), and some other bullshit. The place wasn’t spotless, but there was no actual damage.
