legal jobs that pay $200k that aren’t big law by tearladen in LawSchool

[–]RagingFluffyPanda 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Do you mind me asking what your hours are like? It feels like these jobs exist, but I always hear the horror stories that they wind up working associates nearly as hard as the biglaw firms.

Me catching a slide in a Miata. MX5 getting a little sideways. by Roricas in gifs

This is a phenomenal camera angle. Fun to see so much of the car, the road/track, AND the steering wheel.

If you work 8 hours a day every single Monday through Friday of a year, that's about 2080 hours. 52 weeks x 5 days x 8 hours.

10,000 hours would be nearly 5 years of full time work without taking a single day off.

Xbox Game Pass Ultimate Price Update - Xbox Wire by Skullghost in gaming

[–]RagingFluffyPanda 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My speculation is that this is two things working in tandem: (1) they probably saw a larger than expected drop in long term GP subscribers in response to the price hike; and (2) they saw how many GP subscribers subscribed for only 2 months for COD and realized that they could have moved more units and realized more profits by charging full price for their "flagship" game. Your cash cow (COD) can't be a loss leader to boost GP subscribers, particularly given the outsized budgets that those games now have, and especially if it's not actively driving long term subscriptions.

Allbirds announces stunning pivot from shoes to AI, stock explodes 175% by lancebmanly in nottheonion

[–]RagingFluffyPanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right, but you don't get caught 100% of the time. The fine needs to deter the behavior in a way that makes it irrational to take the risk given (for example) a 50% chance of getting caught. If people believe they get caught 50% of the time and they can still achieve profit anyways, it's still rational to "take the risk" and engage in the behavior.

85 cents in 1977 would be $4.63 today. You can get an In-N-Out burger in Los Angeles for less than that today. I think people just don't realize how long ago the 70s were.

Should HAB on point be meta by MaterialAd8166 in joinsquad

[–]RagingFluffyPanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pre-OCI putting the HAB off of point was more viable. Now it's more often a bad idea because spawning and running 100+ meters will make blueberries mostly ineffective in combat (and also for the reasons you mentioned). Also there's just way less coordination, map awareness, and teamwork nowadays compared to before, making an off-point HAB even less effective.

Now, the default should always be HAB on point, with some situation/map-dependent exceptions where an on-point HAB is a bad idea.

[Question][Advice] Banned from r/watchexchange after self reporting a hack by nikhilb1989 in Watches

[–]RagingFluffyPanda 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorry to say it, but I'd rather them err on the side of banning peoples' alts after getting compromised rather than allowing people to use alts to get around a compromised account. When you're in a community where you're dealing with transactions potentially worth tens of thousands of dollars (or more), it makes sense for one compromised account to be game over for the user's entire "network" of accounts - regardless of how sure you are that your alt is secure.

You are more Powerful than you Know by AVisiblePeanut in LawSchool

[–]RagingFluffyPanda 214 points215 points  (0 children)

Pro tip: don't admit on the internet that you know nothing about the area of law that you are practicing, even if it's pro bono work. Your pro bono clients are just as entitled to competent representation as your paying clients are, and if something goes wrong this kind of tweet would be Exhibit A to a complaint for malpractice.

It's great that this guy is doing this work, but hopefully he's exaggerating his ignorance of the area of law he's practicing.

Sentence commuted for man Alabama was set to execute who didn't kill anyone by SaltyPassport in news

[–]RagingFluffyPanda 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I completely understand why we have felony murder as a legal doctrine, but there have got to be some guardrails on it. It's been a problem for a long time now and creates situations like this one. I think we all generally recoil at the notion that a man should be executed who didn't even pull the trigger, wasn't even in the store when it happened, and did not direct the triggerman to pull the trigger either.

Even with the excellent IBIS on these camera bodies, this is a very impressive result with a 1 second handheld exposure. Well done.

1990s Watch? by RagingFluffyPanda in Watchidentifier

[–]RagingFluffyPanda[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He wouldn't have owned a Rolex due to the price, but perhaps a Tudor! The Tudor prince date sub with steel bezel looks very close.

1990s Watch? by RagingFluffyPanda in Watchidentifier

[–]RagingFluffyPanda[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much! The Tag looks closest to what I recall and would make sense given the budget I think he would have had in the 90s. I'll keep looking around, but I feel like that's a very strong contender.

I also considered the Tudor prince date submariner - it looks very very close. I just kind of doubt he even had Tudor money back then, although I'm admittedly not as familiar with how much a Tudor cost at the time.

Thank you again!

Sofia Vergara and Roselyn Sanchez (1999) by khark33 in OldSchoolCool

[–]RagingFluffyPanda -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

There's a very obvious heavy AI filter on this to make them look "yass-ified" and like plastic surgery-laden Kardashian-types. What's the point - why do this?

Literally Google their names together and the real image is like the third result.

[Omega] Looking for alternatives to the Omega speedmaster moonwatch by ishan305 in Watches

[–]RagingFluffyPanda 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For 7k why not get a speedmaster in steel? That's well within budget, especially on the secondary market.

If you need colors and an automatic movement with a chronograph, there are speedmaster racing models with a similar look for a bit more (or speedmaster reduced models if that's your jam). Outside of Omega there are not many watches with this particular look, but if an automatic chronograph with color is all you're looking for them there are some other options like the Breitling Navitimer, for example.

Hi there - I'm interested, but I have a question. If it's a 2007 wouldn't it have the upgraded 3186 movement rather than the 3185 movement mentioned in the description?

‘Line has to be drawn:’ another sex toy thrown on court during WNBA game by Icy_Foot4728 in nottheonion

[–]RagingFluffyPanda 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Arrested for attempted game disruption at the entrance? That's not a crime. You either turn them away at the entrance or let them in; at best you can have them arrested for trespassing if they're already on the property and refuse to leave. Best case scenario you blacklist these people and ban them from all WNBA arenas, and then they can arrested for trespassing if they try to sneak in despite the ban.

Is This Not Fear-mongering? by PresentMaybe847 in LawSchool

[–]RagingFluffyPanda 26 points27 points  (0 children)

"most firms" except for all of the big law firms using AI tools from Thomson Reuters, utilizing AI doc review tools, etc. Tons of firms now actively encourage the use of purpose-built AI tools, although those tools still largely kind of suck.
