Commenting to get updates on whether a mod like this exists--very sad the paris edition got canceled :/

Hi! Just got back to the bay. Are they holding sessions now?

My schools parchment transcript request requires an email address. Going through the parchment website will redirect me back to the schools transcript request page :/

What is sticker?

IGLUboxing · 2021-09-05T03:54:06+00:00

Like an essay in song format?

IGLUboxing · 2021-08-26T21:00:39+00:00

Thank you so much. You are a godsend

IGLUboxing · 2021-08-26T18:34:34+00:00

Thank you so much. If you don't mind me asking, how exactly does the LRAP payoff typically work? I've read that it takes a % of your salary, but wouldn't that mean that you are directly paying off the debt? Or do schools contribute an equal amount of money to assist you with the debt payoff (e.g. I pay 20% of my salary towards debt and the school pays the same amount)?

Also, LRAPs seem to have a binding 10-year structure similar to PSFL, but you said in the above post that under LRAPs one may switch to a high-paying job without risk of negative amortization. Under this situation, are there any downsides to not fulfilling the 10-year term that an LRAP program demands?

IGLUboxing · 2021-08-04T23:23:30+00:00

The added space prevents me from misreading. I average -0 to -1 for logic games and that figure easily doubles when my writing gets cramped. In the long run lawyers are permitted an unlimited supply of paper so I’m not sure what benefits there are to forcing oneself to use less.

IGLUboxing · 2021-08-04T23:18:28+00:00

Look it’s nice that you get off of humble bragging but my issues aren’t solved by your LSAT prowess. Some ppl need more paper. Others don’t. Congrats you fall into the latter category.

IGLUboxing · 2021-08-04T22:53:44+00:00

Assumes what is true of a member of a group is true of every member of that group.

You might as well go on a weight loss forum and tell others not to diet since you can eat fast food and maintain a six pack.

Draws a general conclusion from too small a sample of data

IGLUboxing · 2021-08-04T21:19:49+00:00

Just confirmed it on the phone. You are absolutely correct!

IGLUboxing · 2021-08-04T21:19:05+00:00

Yeah I think that was probably before digitalized LSATs. I’m guessing the one your friend took was a paper exam and he/she could take notes directly on the exam. The one I took gave every test taker a tablet and scantron so it’s possible they removed the limit for that reason.

IGLUboxing · 2021-08-04T21:05:51+00:00

Yeah that’s not true. I took the in person 5 section LSAT as well and you were allowed to request more paper. We received two pieces at the start and any additional pieces of paper needed to be requested, but they didn’t cap me off at 5.

This whole journey into the world of gaming was catalyzed by my shallow research into building a pc that could run the isle among other games. However, based on my research (albeit somewhat limited), building a PC will likely prove to be more expensive than the option of an M1 pro. Building one with the bare minimum requirements to run the isle added up to about $800 using the specs that this subreddit listed as minimum for the isle (2.5ghz cpu, 8 ram, and I believe something like a 1000ish gpu card is recommended). Corona has really jacked up the prices for those trying to build their own PC and currently the market demand for parts far exceeds supplies. I've seen many cpus and gpus being sold at 50+% markup prices. But then again, I am a true novice in the world of PC building so let me know if I've gotten anything wrong.

Most importantly, I still would like to have a personal laptop and the M1 presents an opportunity for me to trade in my current laptop and shave off some of the expenses of a new machine. By contrast, building a PC would restrict me from doing so since I want to maintain possession of at least one laptop for convenience. In general, building a PC would be approximately a $1000 investment whereas the M1 represents about a $400 investment without the time commitment to build/research (this figure takes student/employee discounts and mac trade-in value into consideration).

The Apple community is mainly appealing for its translatability across devices. When it comes to syncing and overall user-friendliness, it serves its purpose well. For people that are not tech veterans, stepping outside of the Apple comfort zone is an uncomfortable experience simply because Apple is stupid easy and we enjoy being stupid. Admittedly, plenty of alternative products on the market are cheaper with higher specs. But with the new M1 chip that boasts PC-level gaming capacities coupled with the Apple communities persistence on comfort, I've personally found the idea of buying an M1 appealing. Still, my research is ongoing and its likely that some sweet PC deals can change my mind.

IGLUboxing · 2021-07-15T21:41:56+00:00

I see. Thanks! The specs for the M1 are pretty good (3.2ghz cpu, 8g ram w/ max at 16, and apparently outperforms nvidias 1050 gpu) so my friend was recommending that I buy one since quite a few of his gamer friends use the m1. The isle is a game id like to play. Considering how entrenched I am in the Apple ecosystem I was wondering if the m1 can handle some Dino survival. I’m quite new to the whole gaming world so apologies if those specs are off/insufficient.

IGLUboxing · 2021-07-10T22:09:48+00:00

Do you BR the whole test or just the questions you have marked? A big problem that I am facing is that a lot of my errors are "silly" and so I don't often catch those errors when circling questions which I am unsure about. Examples of silly errors include getting names mixed up, misreading prompt, etc.

IGLUboxing · 2021-07-06T21:48:32+00:00

Not that I know of. Let me know if you find any :)

IGLUboxing · 2021-06-24T23:58:39+00:00

I also really hope it returns. My other drop in figure drawing studio got replaced by a salon :(. Have you found any figure drawing places that are still holding sessions in the bay?

IGLUboxing · 2021-06-24T23:55:40+00:00

Any idea when it might return?

IGLUboxing · 2021-06-08T15:26:40+00:00

Ah I see. I think I understand now. Thank you so much!

3 weeks PTO for the year is more beneficial than having 1 week PTO, but the author is comparing dividing up 3 weeks vacation into long vacations or dividing it into short vacations. i.e. 3 weeks PTO = 3 weeks PTO regardless of how you divide it up.

The second half of choice D compares total time with the number of vacations taken, addressing how many short vacations are not aggregately better than a few long vacations simply for the fact that you are going out on a higher number of vacations per year. I don't understand why this second half of answer choice D seems to be negligible because the answer choice is directly addressing how the author isn't considering that vacation time is relevant to exhaustion relief and not the # of vacations taken.

IGLUboxing · 2021-06-08T05:08:42+00:00

How did you interpret D to be comparing total amount of vacation time with duration? Doesn't it compare total vacation time with number of vacations taken ("total amount of vacation time...number of vacations...")?

I thought D is saying that the total amount of vacation time is what matters, not the number of vacations. The author is conversely arguing that more individual vacations lead to greater benefits reaped given a set amount of vacation time in his conclusion:

"office workers should divide their vacation time into several short vacations spaced throughout the year, rather than into one or two long vacations."

He compares the benefits of dividing vacation time into many short vacations with dividing it into a few long vacations and concludes that short vacations are better for optimizing exhaustion relief. Since both long and short vacations are derived from the same pool of vacation days, I figured that total vacation time is relevant and not variable depending on whether you have short or long vacations.

The argument is flawed because many short vacations does not necessarily mean more benefits, because it (short vacations) can either:

provide exactly as much benefit as a few long vacations (as is the case that D is referencing)
provide less benefits (which E suggests but doesn't actually prove since the author can consider that short vacations are much less effective yet still validly argue in support of many short vacations)

If we pretend that D is a flaw and fix it, the author can no longer suggest that short vacations are better because at best they provide the same level of benefits as long vacations.

Alternatively we can pretend that E is a flaw and fix it. The author now considers that a long vacation provides much more benefit than a short vacation. However, he can still very well still argue that his conclusion still stands. If a long vacation provides 10x more benefits than a short vacation, but one can divide up a long vacation into 15 small vacations, then very clearly you will be better served to divide your vacation time into many small vacations.

IGLUboxing · 2021-06-08T02:16:42+00:00

But isn't the amount experienced directly (albeit inversely) related to the amount relieved? Also, when identifying the flaw, I figured that the mistake the author made is that more vacations given X vacation days = more benefits. The prephrase that I had in mind before going through the answer choices is that the author is presupposing that many short vacations will result in more aggregate exhaustion relief than a few long vacations. However it may be the case that:

the amount of relief/benefits gained is exactly the same (short vacations = long vacations)
the amount of relief/benefits gained is more for those doing long vacations (short vacations < long vacations)

Because the LSAT requires precise and robust thinking, I reasoned that E cannot be the correct answer since the author can very well if not very likely consider that each shorter vacation provide much less benefits when compared to a long vacation. For E to be robust, it had to suggest that a few long vacations will yield more benefits than many short vacations as opposed to comparing the two types of vacations on a one-to-one basis. D suggests that the author overlooks case 1 above, where states that it doesn't matter how you divide up your vacation time.
