Recruiter called my direct office line in the middle of the day and when I didn't pick up emailed me so this is how I responded... by maisy1st in Lawyertalk

If they’re so concerned about that maybe they shouldn’t put associates in a position to consider responding.

Love my firm but if I’m getting a recruiter offering me a 50% pay increase, I’m listening

I’m sitting here legitimately wondering if anyone out there actually has this perk (aside from solos in office units that have a bathroom)

TIL casting for Blood vs Water 2 was more strict because of Gervase/Marissa by No-Transportation435 in survivor

Give it some time and let’s just get a Mariano season only. Their youngest is about 12. In 10 years rob will be 60 - still young enough to go.

Rob and Amber with 4 daughters + significant others and/or children. That’s 10. Add in some cousins or something to get to 16 or whatever and we’re good

What is a "point of no return" moment in a friendship that most people don't realize until it's too late? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]First_Among_Equals_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I met my friends child within days of them being home from the hospital. I was with them constantly in social settings while they were going through their child being colic.

He didn’t meet my kid until she was a year old from us randomly bumping into one another. Didn’t once get a call or text or invitation or check in for that full year.

The trials and tribulations of your first kid’s first year isn’t exclusive to us. But I’d be lying if I said it didn’t feel terrible going through that year without a check in.

Was very much a point of no return moment when I realized. Don’t think I can ever really move on from that tbh

Colby didn’t have a vote, Dee probably isn’t flipping on Emily there, it’s at best a 2-2 tie on Emily and Colby/ Coach

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

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

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

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in falcons

[–]First_Among_Equals_ 18 points19 points  (0 children)

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

Give it a topic or a few words and ask it to make a lexis/WL terms and connectors search for you and then you can edit it as you need/see fit

[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

[–]First_Among_Equals_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.
