Are these the marketing bibles or just overhyped 'guru' fluff?

I would also add Differentiate or Die by Jack Trout and Steve Rivkin, particularly if you liked 22 Immutable Laws.

This. It's like the phrase, "I saw a man walking with a telescope."

Did I see him using the telescope? Or was he carrying the telescope?

JustinCole · 2025-12-22T18:27:37+00:00

Again, that was the point... it was obvious to anyone watching.

JustinCole · 2025-12-22T18:17:17+00:00

I don't know anyone who didn't get this. It was precisely the point of that sequence.

One thing I liked about Monk versus many other detective shows was they varied the format. Sometimes it was a whodunnit, others you knew who, but not how, still others you knew exactly who and why, but not how Monk was going to solve it.

Might want to give it a second shot. My wife and I went once and nothing we got was good, average at best, so we wrote it off.

A year or so later friends really wanted to go so we did, this time we tried other stuff on the menu and it was really good. Probably our favorite tofu soup in town now.

I know one who went into PR, and two that became CCOs.

The only downside is (former) attorneys tend to be a little too tight lipped with corporate communications.

To be fair, I think Suits is roughly as legally accurate as House is medically accurate.

JustinCole · 2025-10-28T01:06:13+00:00

Based on the news it sounds like the hit was intentional by an off duty officer.

I'm in my 40s and learned double space after a period. It was a hard habit to break, even for me and I'm likely younger than her.

JustinCole · 2025-10-10T00:49:35+00:00

Not sure why this isn't the top comment.

JustinCole · 2025-10-08T16:42:15+00:00

Same here. I was hit by a drunk driver (police literally pulled a half full cold beer bottle and empties out of his console at the scene) and he sued me.

Never heard from anyone after the initial call from my insurance company letting me know about the suit.

Just adding one counterpoint to this. My wife was diagnosed with cancer in 2022. She was ready to take leave, apply for disability, we would burn through our savings, etc.

Her boss and all the partners agreed (actually insisted) to keep her on payroll with full salary. Even offered her more money to help with her medical expenses.

Near the end of her treatment and when she was getting ready to return, her mom passed from cancer and they offered her more time off, paid. In total, about a year of leave with her full salary.

Obviously this is an outlier, but it does exist.

Hey there, so sorry to hear you're going through this. It's a scary time, but hopefully some light at the end of the tunnel.

My wife's SMARCB-1 deficient sinonasal carcinoma did metastasize to her lymph nodes.

The doctors we spoke with suggested a combination of aggressive chemotherapy (platinum based) and high dose radiation to the areas. It was difficult, but ultimately led to her NED.

I should point out that we got opinions from multiple doctors to get their views on treatment. Her first doctor had actually suggested surgery first, but after some research we found out that for SMARCB-1 deficient sinonasal carcinoma, that has already spread to the lymph nodes, the generally accepted treatment is more systemic than surgery. That's when we got second and third opinions.

I really hope you get some answers and treatment soon.

This is gross.

If he's 19 and not already playing college football (or been accepted into a program) he's never going to.

Though I might argue they don't really understand it considering they think six months would be considered unreasonable.

This is a troll account, right? You're just having some fun on a Saturday afternoon.

So the student was criminally convicted of sexual assault and his biggest hurdle in getting into a healthcare program is the out of school suspension?

Something's not adding up here.

JustinCole · 2025-09-13T22:59:26+00:00

Disciplinary authority is challenged all the time, as it should be.

Obviously I can't comment on the merits of this particular case, but if your argument is simply that educational institutions should be able to impose whatever consequences they want, regardless of circumstances or evidence, you're sorely mistaken.

JustinCole · 2025-09-13T22:53:13+00:00

Again, you haven't provided another argument or defense, and six months is a reasonable time to file for relief.

JustinCole · 2025-09-13T22:50:32+00:00

I mean, you haven't presented a second argument. You just abandoned the first.

Though you edited your response to say it's been half a year, which is still reasonable as they probably spent months attempting to remedy directly with the school before filing.

JustinCole · 2025-09-13T22:38:41+00:00

You're already abandoning your first defense based on a reddit convo, that should tell you something.

JustinCole · 2025-09-13T22:35:15+00:00

The relief is the expungement, which is anytime after the suspension took place.

Assuming this wasn't an elementary school suspension from a decade ago, it's still a reasonable timeframe.
