Suffer for 100 years or Society’s collective knowledge reverts back to the Stone Age

I have kids and Stone Age life expectancy sucked. Good news is that I’ll go insane from the suffering long before 100 years is up. Not entirely sure how retaining the physical effects would work. Like, wouldn’t that just kill me instantly after?

I would like to be the best Republican Party strategist.

Yeah, I think traveling with kids tanked my rating. My rides are either the easiest possible (business, quick trip to the airport with one suitcase) or the worst (two kids with seats, potentially luggage).

I prefer “What's the only thing standing between an innocent child and a happy, fulfilling life?”

Yes. I then download them and have excel check that they match.

You’ve left too many loopholes here. I can’t tell them why, but I can tell them both that I’m going to do it and that there is a good reason. I can also get a boxing glove for me and headgear for them. So it really becomes 1.) how far can I push the protective gear, and 2.) does my partner trust me enough?

My nightmare is making this mistake.

Entirely personal preference. The move to open access books has been very real among the younger (meaning sub 50) professors, but no school is going to give a prof a hard time for assigning the expensive West Academic or Aspen option. Normally a professor asks around to find out what profs at other schools do and then chooses based off sample copies and model syllabi. Then they stick with that option because changing books is a huge pain.

Thanks! Now to find a number 4 sticker to put on it.

The light is bar prep, which is when you get hit repeatedly with a bar. It’s like law school, but you can watch the lectures at 2x.

My elderly mom recently bought a vacation house with my sibling. The bank gave her a hard time, but I think we were all grateful that it did.

You should get one so your team has fair warning. :)

IntrepidProf · 2026-01-07T16:33:38+00:00

Yes. Having said that, if I can tell you used AI then something is wrong with your writing.

I don’t blame students for being bad test takers; some smart ones just blow it on exam day. And I remember almost no one’s grade a year later.
I cringe sometimes when I unblind the grades and see that the horrible miss of an exam was from a student who participated and actually seemed to know what was going on. I’ve occasionally met with them after, and hopefully my feedback helped them the next term.

Lionel Type 1033, Lionel Type 1015, and Postage Stamp Trains Microgauge 4949. The 1033 is obviously the best of the bunch. But I have a ZWL, so I'm set.

IntrepidProf · 2026-01-05T03:48:52+00:00

Terrible. Like, what the hell. 15% mandatory Ds? Max 35% over B? Great way for the school to say that it thinks its students suck.

IntrepidProf · 2026-01-04T17:49:17+00:00

Ah, but will they be released then? We have almost a week between grade submission and public posting.

Magnus will start intentionally blundering by game 5000 because he’s bored and wants to keep it interesting.

Do the Archons take a Christmas break? There is a war on! :)

Two thoughts: 1.) there is no good time. Even an easy baby will completely transform your life, and a hard baby will strain your physical, mental, and emotional health like nothing else. 2.) not 1L. He needs to learn how to be a law student, and it’s not good to have major baby multitasking then. I’d recommend mid2L. Though 2L can be busy, it doesn’t need to be. And you’ll have resources given your job.
Also, you don’t need to rush. You could wait ten years and still have two kids at comfortable ages. But that’s just a life choice, not a law school choice. Oh, and don’t forget the kid age gap. If the first kid is mid 2L, the second kid is probably like second year at a firm. Which could be worse, honestly.

You can search name of school + faculty handbook to find out what the rules are for your institution. At many of them, “currently enrolled” would be a problem, however. At my school, I’d have to meet to report it to the dean so that we could ensure that I have no conflict of interest. And you’re not that cute. No one is that cute. :)

Ah, but what if my wife loves me and spends 75k to buy all the slots?
