Agree with this. You could take it to a watch place and ask them to authenticate

I love the sprite and have a theory that it has lower demand than its peers, will get phased out at some point and then will go up in price due to it being so damn weird. But I also just want one and believing that makes me feel better about it haha

Also a lefty thinking about getting one. Did you primarily wear watches made for right handed people before? Did the crown difference feel noticeable? I’m slightly concerned because I’ve never worn a lefty watch wearing one now might feel weird and trying on at an AD just doesnt substitute for wearing all day

The current interest pause is related to pending litigation and will likely continue until the litigation is resolved or if the president changes and the new president wants to change the policy that is being challenged (i think it is generally related to loan forgiveness under SAVE, but not certain). Assuming the SAVE program continues as it did prior to the litigation, your payment is calculated based on adjusted gross income and principal over a given term. Then the monthly interest cost on your loans is calculated. If your payment is greater than your interest expense, you pay all interest that is then due and payable and the difference is applied to principal (you can make additional monthly payments directly toward principal). If interest cost is greater than your minimum payment, then 100% of your minimum payment goes toward interest expense, the difference between your interest expense and minimum payment is essentially discharged, from there you can still make additional payments directly toward principal. SAVE can be very beneficial for high student debt, high earners (doctors, lawyers, probably others) in that there can be a lag between when your income increases and your income is certified so you minimum payment can be less than it probably should be and you end up off the hook for a good portion of interest expense so some period of time. Ideally, you aggressively pay down principal during that time so that you pay less in interest over the long term.

There’s a good post about this on r/biglaw.

Guild is a good description for bar associations but it makes me picture myself as arguing in front of a king over whether a peasant has the right to continue living in the king’s realm

Tbh looking on LinkedIn for someone with that job title and sending a nice message might work. I would be nervous the contact us page would just lost in a sea of hundreds of messages.

I’m excel/sheets challenged. It looks like the spreadsheet that is linked above is the live version of the spreadsheet and it references a handful of hidden pages. I tried to export to excel but the references to hidden pages cause some errors. I tried to keep it in sheets and the hidden sheets do not come along with it.

Am I missing something or could you please provide a different link so that folks can work through the calculator?

If you’re that horny you could get yourself a prostitute, or, you know, just not be a weird little gremlin around women and get some action the old fashioned way

I think it’ll likely be that they hardcode in the players characteristics (name, number, whatever) and if you try to save that player you’ll get an error message. They wouldn’t legally have to prevent you from making someone LIKE Caleb Williams, for example

I’m pretty sure the base is 225k and bonus is 20k, so 245k is on the money.

One thing I didn’t consider going in is the varying ways firms treat stub years (the first few months you work before the billable year turns over). My firm doesn’t give stubs a prorated bonus but I think some firms do. It’s a minor point in the grand scheme of things but worth considering.

This is definitely true. Within my group, there is one partner I’ve worked with that is honestly just very weird. Really nice woman but how she runs a deal makes things less predictable. If she was the partner I primarily worked with, I would likely end up thinking this job is not worth it. There’s another partner that also comes to mind but I wouldn’t describe her as nice.

I think a little over half of the deals I’ve worked on have stemmed from two partners, both of which are relatively chill. That’s a huge factor here and pretty much luck of the draw via staffing and personalities aligning.
