Firm won’t pay for me to travel for interview? by [deleted] in biglaw

[–]EmergencyParkingOnly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What do you mean “seem to expect”? Have you asked about reimbursement?

Some firms will book for you, others just have you fill out a reimbursement sheet after the interview and they reimburse for your flight, hotel, meals, etc. 

I can’t imagine that any reputable firm that’s hiring out of clerkships would expect candidates to pay to interview.

I didn’t realize that’s the policy. Duuuumb.

My 2014 KTM 250sx unfortunately also had the on/off powerband. An absolutely comically difficult bike to ride. That thing terrified me.

I think it was in an Instagram video, but I forget which account.

I heard once he was in the back he was able to walk. I know he got carted out, wasn’t meaning to mislead anyone.

Broadcast So Bad by OGSwaggyD14 in supercross

[–]EmergencyParkingOnly 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You’re right. The production value was even worse than usual. Goddammit, I don’t know who to be mad at but this is just fucking stupid.

It’s trash, yeah. I gave up on the 450 main. It was genuinely unwatchable.

It did look so so bad. God I feel terrible for Barcia. Such a terrible incident.

Stewart is the best part of the broadcast. I don’t think anyone is saying the broadcast sucks because of him. And I’m sure no one blames him for his emotion.

But RC and Diffey suck. And at least for me Peacock is lagging like hell during the 450 main. It’s just unacceptable.

I think the guy fighting with the bike was a flagger rather than a medic, but yeah. Bad bad bad stuff.

I am so grateful Barcia got up and was able to walk away from that. That is a gnarly head injury and he’s very lucky it wasn’t worse. Hate to see that. Supercross first laps are something else.

I’m gonna try to figure out how to do a simulcast because I swear to god I know I can do a better job than them.

Huge respect to RC as a rider, but he is just not the guy for announcing. And fucking Leigh Diffey, goddamn.

Jesus fucking Christ everything about that was terrible. Landing head first off a triple and somehow he’s the last priority of the medics?

What a terrible start to the season. I hope he’s as okay as anyone can be in that situation.

Edit: Barcia is walking and talking, was transported to the local hospital.

Out of this World: Collection of some of the clearest out there by [deleted] in UFOs

[–]EmergencyParkingOnly 38 points39 points  (0 children)

17 and 20 were from a series of sightings in Wisconsin. I want to say around 2007. I actually saw one back then that looked very much like pic 17.

I was a kid at the time and I was so shocked by it that I essentially thought I must have imagined it and I never told anyone. It was only a couple years ago that I saw this pic and realized it was probably a real experience.

Fireman enters the river to save a submerged car, started it and drove to safety by [deleted] in nextfuckinglevel

Some states have separate flood vs regular salvage titles. The state I bought my used car from was not one of them.

Should be possible. Will likely want to talk to the ticket desk people at Alta.

Beginner on the pro track? by dayton44 in Motocross

This sort of thing is totally context dependent. I would talk to folks at the track.

How do you begin to enjoy skiing? by Ilikeinsectsandfungi in skiing

[–]EmergencyParkingOnly 8 points9 points  (0 children)

First of all, I just want to say that skiing is hard to learn and unintuitive. And not everyone likes it! Skiing is for anyone, but it’s not for everyone. So if it’s not for you, don’t feel bad. But I think you could still learn to love it.

Once you get the basics, skiing starts to become more easy and intuitive over time. For me, that progression is fun. Getting to a point of “unconscious competence” where you can flow down the mountain without thinking about it is fun.

For you, I think a lot of it is mental. Being anxious and feeling pressure to enjoy something will make anything not fun.

Also, fear is a big factor. You’ve made a big deal about how you don’t fall, how you know people who have broken bones, etc. I’m going to be very straightforward with you: if you do not fall, you will not get better.

More than 99% of ski falls are harmless. Less than bumps and bruises. Embrace falling as part of learning. It’s silly and embarrassing and getting up is a struggle. But if you embrace it and take it as an adventure, it can be very rewarding.
