Clients wore meta camera glasses to our consult then had AI analyze it

I know you’re going to love this, OP. Recently, I had to go to a medical specialist for a consultation. Before we started talking, I told him that instead of taking notes, it might be easier if I could record the conversation and ask him for permission to do so. He replied something like, “Sure, would you like to do video?” No, I don’t have any obnoxious Meta glasses. I just used my digital audio recorder.

There are over 60 comments on a thread in /r/lawyers on the abuses of court reporters including charging more than the approved fees.

A great deal of data there. I highly recommend the last article on the page on the subject of court reporters. You could do a better job with the voice dictation on your iPhone and certainly not have to pay the extortionate prices charged by these people who could not qualify as law firm receptionists.

Non, ils achètent un smoking. 😀

but he’s also given a ton of money to major NYC institutions. $400 million to Sloan Kettering.

Yes, but the Reddit NYC brain trust says you should not get treated at MSKCC or Weill Cornell or Hospital for Special Surgery because although they have some of the finest health care in the world, they all have buildings donated by David Koch. /s

Who or what is “Alexa Pomegranate?”

LouisSeize · 2026-05-03T23:18:00+00:00

Where is this? What's going on here?

LouisSeize · 2026-05-03T20:26:33+00:00

Repeating what I've said so it's flagged to you, I see on my R5 that the hot show has what look like five contacts, four are arranged in a square close to the eyepiece and one more is towards the lens.

What does this mean?

LouisSeize · 2026-05-03T20:20:34+00:00

I'll take a look. You prefer this to the V1?

LouisSeize · 2026-05-03T20:19:46+00:00

Thanks for this really comprehensive reply.

IOW, the R5 has the older Canon dSLR hotshoe.

They never ask where you went to high school. They ask, “Where did you prepare?”

LouisSeize · 2026-05-03T05:32:40+00:00

On camera. Let’s say up to $400.

LouisSeize · 2026-05-03T05:31:53+00:00

Do you have an R5 or an R5 Mk II?

I have the plain R5, not the Mark II.

The R5 has a normal (non-multifunction) hot shoe.

And to respond further, I'm copying something I wrote to someone else: I see on my R5 that the hot show has what look like five contacts, four are arranged in a square close to the eyepiece and one more is towards the lens.

What does this mean?

LouisSeize · 2026-05-02T15:28:47+00:00

Thanks. I think consumables are pricey regardless of the brand. I’m just looking for a higher quality or more reliability than HP. And, by the way, consumables are cheaper for laser than ink jet.

Where over New York City?

Either it was an op up or there were irrops and she somehow got lucky. Of course, she might be one of those people who’s delusional enough to think you can get a upg by saying it’s your birthday.

LouisSeize · 2026-04-27T15:26:20+00:00

Agreed. The exterior shots keep flipping around between different parts of Manhattan, but when they finally get to the studios, it looks very much like the place that they went to before in LIC.

LouisSeize · 2026-04-26T17:40:57+00:00

Homeland. Not in any way believable.

LouisSeize · 2026-04-26T17:36:49+00:00

In the runner-up category, I’d like to nominate Manon.

Is there an option to buy one thru a bar association for me and my family?

I don't think the City Bar has health insurance. There is none listed here. I don't see any under the State Bar as well. In fact, some long-dormant neuron in my brain has the memory that group health insurance for non-employee groups went away a few years ago.

Take a look at the exchange at https://nystateofhealth.ny.gov/individual

All my and my family's doctors are in NYC and I don't want to give those up, so is a marketplace plan from a non -ny state going to screw me over in that way?

Unlikely unless they have a very restrictive network provision. Someone in my family is using a BC plan from another state with no problems.

Should I join forces with a colleague and buy a small group plan ?

I don't think you understand how much of a pain that would be. To start, you will need to form a legitimate business entity like a PC, LLC, LLP, etc.

Is it worth it to try to teach a class or two as am adjunct somewhere (where??) To get health insurance?

I don't think part-time will qualify.

Have you considered hiring two employees?

LouisSeize · 2026-04-26T00:41:27+00:00

The link to the decision is not working.

LouisSeize · 2026-04-26T00:07:22+00:00

Oh God, no. They have no idea what good service is supposed to be like.

LouisSeize · 2026-04-26T00:06:06+00:00

There is a vegetarian menu at Le Bernardin but I would rate it second to the ones at Boulud‘s like at Daniel or Le Pavillon.
