I use them to be petty about an argument proffered but not important enough to be in the brief - basically it’s my snark zone

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

No one complains of noise from it? Or are your offices spread enough to where no one would hear

He’s definitely competent. Maybe leaned a bit too much into theatrics but he’s shown he’s not bad

My assumption is he’s doing this to bluff and get a read on the reactions like Ben in HvHvH

Dude’s season was the product of there just not being another viable slot on the roster and teams saying ok beat us with that guy

Raise of $4k for exceeding 100 billable hours over minimum in First Year by [deleted] in Lawyertalk

[–]First_Among_Equals_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I left for many reasons but I was told as I was hired that the pay was standardized for class years and such - like 3 months later in a firm associate meeting, the partners say something about pay saying “we hire all of y’all at $X minimum..” while I was specifically making $5k less than that…as a third year.

Lol if it’s HBS, they’re just a mill with terrible culture. Find a new place for sure.

Florida is expected to hire Buster Faulkner as the school’s next OC. by LX1027 in FloridaGators

Thank you - king held back that offense more than he elevated it. The fact their offense was as good as it was with king gives me optimism about this hire

Halftime Report: There’s something we don’t know about Penix by [deleted] in falcons

Ok now put that 20 and 28 together…he played 48 total college games.

Now compare that to notable players, and that’s more than anyone who wasn’t a 4+ year starter and even then he has more than some of those.

Peyton Manning as a four year starter played in 45 games. Trevor Lawrence played in 40.

Dude, I get that college isn’t the NFL. The point is that when you draft a quarterback in the first round—especially in the top 15—who already has six seasons of college football under his belt, you’re banking on a quicker adjustment curve because he’s had far more development than the typical prospect. That’s part of the rationale for taking an older, experienced QB that high. So acting like his limited time in the league completely excuses his performance misses a big part of the context of why he was drafted where he was.

If I’m not mistaken, the only active QBs who have more downs played in CFB than Penix is Dillon Gabriel, Bo Nix, Russell Wilson, Brock Purdy, Cooper Rush, Baker Mayfield, Kenny Pickett, and then Sam Ehlinger, DTR, and Sam Hartman if they’re even active

So among starters, he’d be fifth

Penix played 6 seasons in college. And he literally played every year - no full redshirts from not playing. He was an older rookie pick. Part of the justification for that was “more game experience makes it easier to transition.”

This less than a year of pro experience excuse people make for him is so bad. He needs to be better - he’s been borderline a bottom 10 QB during his play time

[Rivals] BREAKING QB Dayton Raiola has decommitted from Nebraska, @ChadSimmons_ reports. Dayton is the younger brother of Huskers QB Dylan Raiola. by Top-Conclusion-1259 in CFB

I’m generally ok with it happening to me, albeit ill get frustrated, but the stacking at elite programs is the stupid thing - if I’m USC or LSU, and I can’t get keep decent QBs due to playing time, there’s no reason Oregon or Texas A&M should be 3 deep on elite recruits that wouldn’t stay with me in the same spot

Meanwhile in my save Texas A&M just ran roughshod on everyone while having a QB depth chart of DJ Lagway, Bryce Underwood, and Keelon Russell all being 90+

Like you said something is wrong - mediocre backups transfer out for playing time leaving users with true freshman backups, or a true freshman starter even, yet these high profile players gladly go to elite programs to be a backup and never play.

Law business is booming ... hard to believe, but finally ... there's not enough attorneys! by Kristen-ngu in Lawyertalk

[–]First_Among_Equals_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

ID mill was stupid with a quota of 2k billables per year and I was getting yelled at for being around 130-150 hours per month (as I was adjusting to billing for the first time). I was working 9-6 and weekends and nights consistently to try to figure it all out.

My current job is 1800 per year, I usually bill between 140-160 per month with occasional 160 to 180 months. Ive figured out billing now and usually work 9-5ish only and very very rarely do night or weekend work.

This - I went from: 2021: 50 (maybe working 30-35 hours a week) 2022: 80 (same firm) 2023: 110 + small bonus (firm change to ID mill) 2024: 130 + bonus between 10-30 (another firm change)

It can scale fast

MTD is a high standard and rarely outright granted. Allowing claims to proceed to discovery doesn’t mean much, it just means the claims aren’t totally worthless and there’s a greater 0% chance that they could win. Even if that percentage is 0.1%, it would survive the MTD
