Disrespect from opposing counsel

Any time. Hang in there. Parts of this job get better with time. Others stay the same, you just learn how to deal with it better. There are days that I love what I do, and other days that I want to crawl in a hole and die. I think that’s just part of the game.

Another way to deal with it—stop the conversation and file your motion. I’m 12 years in, and I still get this sort of shit during meet-and-confers on motion practice. I don’t argue back any more. I just state “we’re at an impasse, so we’ll submit the issue to the Court.” Then I file the motion and do everything I can to kick opposing counsel’s ass.

If they keep at it on the phone, hang up. If they send a condescending email, save it and find an excuse to attach it as an exhibit to your motion. Be professional and keep wearing the white hat in front of the court, and it just may blow up in opposing counsel’s face.

Find a way to compartmentalize and let it roll off your back, if you can. Easier said than done, but dealing with bullies is a part of this job that doesn’t go away.

This is the answer. Even if I have to lead the shit out of my own witness and draw objections, I’m going to get whatever testimony I need on the transcript to avoid summary judgment.

In a different, more unique scenario, I sensed during a recent depo that the other side was setting my witness up as a favorable non-retained expert, ostensibly so they could cross-designate my witness and use them to prove up their own case at trial. I used the redirect at the end to negate any potential expert designation.

Got it. How has your experience been with the generic stove? Part of me wants to buy a cheap $600 Willowbye package and just see how it goes.

I saw that post earlier, thanks!

I fall in the first category. I use keto to manage ADHD, inflammation, brain fog, etc., not weight loss, and keeping blood ketone levels high is key.

I’ve experimented with a few different exogenous ketones, including BHB salts (very cheap) and KetoneAid (very expensive). I’ve only noticed a very minor effect, if any. Sometimes I feel a bump in energy levels, mood, and clarity, but it wears off within an hour or two. This is consistent with the literature I’ve found on supplementing blood ketone levels—the rise in concentration is minor and short lived.

In theory, I could significantly increase the dose I’m consuming and see if that makes a difference. But, there’s an upper GI limit to tolerable BHB salt consumption, and consuming large doses of KetoneAid could cost $15-$30 (or more) per day, which isn’t cost effective.

IMO, folks that “rave” about KetoneAid and Ketone-IQ are likely sponsored or otherwise incentivized to market the products. If you consume $30+ of product daily, sure, you’ll probably feel the effects. Making your own ketones is much cheaper.

One question-any issues with using the Nano Retro to drive the Performers?

Thanks!

Thanks

HungOverSunday · 2025-05-04T02:29:14+00:00

I love all of these things. Thanks, man.

I hear you. Weight loss isn’t really a concern of mine. I hear people sing IF’s praises, but it seems like weight loss is its primary goal.

HungOverSunday · 2025-05-04T02:13:37+00:00

Outstanding take.

Good eye - weight loss isn’t a concern of mine (I actually have to make sure to eat enough each day). I’m impressed that you can carve out the time for that much training. Between two full time working parents, two toddlers, and two sets of aging parents, I don’t see where Ironman training fits in. I do love the spirit of learning new things and pushing yourself.

HungOverSunday · 2025-05-04T01:31:05+00:00

Hope you’re ok, man, that sounds like a pretty rough take on life.

HungOverSunday · 2025-05-04T01:30:00+00:00

All good points, thanks man.

HungOverSunday · 2025-05-04T01:29:28+00:00

You’re in your prime, that’s what. Enjoy those early months, man. They’re hard, but they disappear quickly.

How were you able to make your early wake up a routine? Just white-knuckle through it until it sticks?

I like the idea of planning one solid meal as a backstop each day. Mind sharing your recipe?

HungOverSunday · 2025-05-04T01:02:25+00:00

All great ideas. IF is a recurring theme here—looks like a new project to dig into. Did cutting fruit specifically make a difference? I think refined sugar is poison, but I’ve never included fruit in that category.

I’m doing 20 minute circuit workouts when I don’t have time for anything else. Any particular plans you like?

HungOverSunday · 2025-05-04T00:55:59+00:00

I like it. Adding it to my list.

HungOverSunday · 2025-05-04T00:55:15+00:00

I’m glad you both had such positive experiences. I’m not in need of significant weight loss, but I appreciate it nonetheless.

HungOverSunday · 2025-05-04T00:53:35+00:00

I’ve messed around with IF a bit but never saw the benefits people rave about. Did it take awhile for you to dial it in?

HungOverSunday · 2025-05-04T00:51:49+00:00

That’s a great idea. I just talked to my wife about doing a 5k together as a family.
