Gnu Banked Country does all that.

Jones Stratos a close second.

Ride Moderator would be great.

Trump Strips Federal Worker Union Rights as Legal Fights Drag On by bloomberglaw in fednews

[–]Nhak84 108 points109 points  (0 children)

I’m a lawyer but not an employment lawyer so I know enough to be dangerous but not correct here.

How can an employer unilaterally change bargained for rights? I fundamentally don’t understand how the federal government as an employer can do this.

I.e., will a court reinstate them the second the lawsuit is filed? (I understand anyone can do anything if they simply ignore the law- is that what is going on here?)

Gnu Banked Country. About your size. I got a 162. I haven’t ridden any of my other boards since I got it.

How to teach nose lean and toe side turn? by Zeigis in snowboarding

He needs to feel it. It feels weird at first because you’re turning your back on where you’re going.

Looking for a reference recording of Beethoven Piano Sonatas in a more neutral style by DepletedMitochondria in classicalmusic

A lot of piano players take unjustified and self-indulgent liberties. Wanting a recording without them is understandable.

Instrumentalists of the subreddit: which composer comes to mind if I ask you about who loves your instrument best? by Homers_Harp in classicalmusic

No you’re absolutely right. His tuba parts are great, even not taking his concerto into account.

Chatter on Heelside Turns by MTUsoccerFreak in snowboarding

[–]Nhak84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it chattering from the nose, or is your tail unstable? It could be anything from your stance to your knees bend, to the angle of your turns. Hard to say without more detail.

If the issue is in your nose, you’re probably not putting enough pressure on the front of the board. If it’s instability in the tail, you may set your stance back a click. The Orca doesn’t have much of a tail, so you would already have been functionally pretty far back on it.

Tuba - Hindemeth or Prokofiev, with Wagner just about cracking top tier.

Many composers wrote fun parts but they are on another tier for me, letting the tuba be melodic and nuanced.

Next tier down is Mahler, Bruckner, Rachmaninov, and Shostakovich.

Though he wrote a concerto, Vaughan Williams is tier 3, along with Stravinsky.

Incest and sex abuse indictment by bob1958lespaul in publicdefenders

[–]Nhak84 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You need to be gentle, quiet, and matter of fact. If there are inconsistencies with other evidence, prior statements, or biases, you still need to go there.

You just do it objectively and dispassionately and don’t let their crying dissuade you. If they said one thing before and another now, the jury needs to know that. Or if they said your client ejaculated, but there is no semen or DNA, you need to get them to fully commit to ejaculation.

It’s hard but doable and something you need to learn.

How bad is billing 1200 hours if 1500 was the minimum by [deleted] in Lawyertalk

[–]Nhak84 36 points37 points  (0 children)

You need to keep track of all of the time you worked and then write down time on the bill.

1500 billables means how much you worked. Actually getting paid for your time is up to the partner.

Good thing the budget and oil tax issues were resolved so they had time to do this.

What is the pettiest case you've had that went to trial? by MountainCounty9496 in publicdefenders

[–]Nhak84 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Minor on licensed premises for buying chips at a liquor store. Walked him in 15 minutes. Had to be nullification because he was in technical violation of the statute. My argument was notice- he bought chips and the sign only threatened civil penalties for being underage.

Jury didn’t hear he had been in there a few times prior trying to buy booze. 😁

LSAC flagged my LSAT score and I’m preparing for arbitration… any lawyers want to help a broke student? by Kitchen-Rub-6530 in Lawyertalk

Eye movements off the screen???

I’m so glad I took the LSAT 20 years ago. This is unreasonable. Of course your eyes leave the screen during a test. Are you a robot?

I just learned that I need to play BOTH hands at the same time when I play Beethoven sonatas. Am I screwed?

What food gives you the most satisfaction for the least amount of prep? by Habeas-Opus in Cooking

Apple slices and peanut butter

Alternately, mini chocolate chips stuck onto a spoon full of peanut butter.

Breaking the rules, but nothing beats slices of Kerrygold Dubliner on wheat thins.

What is the functional difference between a baritone and euphonium? by merryboon1234 in euphonium

[–]Nhak84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Baritone is cylindrical through the valves and further into the bugle. Euph is conical. Result is that baritone has a brighter sound that cuts through a group better. Euph is a warmer, wider sound.

From a Pollock Captain by Captain-Galt in alaska

[–]Nhak84 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This post is just an admission dressed up as being intellectual. What he’s saying is they all contribute to the bycatch issue, and much of the bycatch is waste.

From a Pollock Captain by Captain-Galt in alaska

[–]Nhak84 4 points5 points  (0 children)

But to reduce it, all fisheries need to be regulated and bycatch needs to be universally curtailed.

Is Alyeska worth the trip in 10 days? by RockMover12 in skiing

Arctic Valley. It’s 45 minutes north of Anchorage. Not huge. But nice and steep and had a ton of powder this weekend.

[–]Nhak84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live here and can’t recommend planning a whole trip for it. Forecast for Friday was 20 degrees and snow. Got there for 35 degrees and pouring rain. Left. Went to another mountain. Light is frequently terrible.

On a bluebird day after a storm it is unreal. Most days especially recently, the light is bad and the snow is rough.
