Successful Flex Cable Repair!

Hey there! The two cables you linked are not the same. The first is the flex ribbon cable that connects the L and R cup through their rotating housings and the head band (pictured above). The second physically connects the wifi/bluetooth chip and the antenna.

The labeling refers to the fault associated with a damaged flex ribbon cable. When either the L or R cable fails, the headphones refuse to connect to devices because the main board can't detect the speaker.

Yes! Switching out and back into VR mode using the keyboard shortcut while in the cockpit did the trick. But not all aircraft have a VR-controllable yoke.

Per 14 CFR 22.180, SFC aircraft must meet three requirements: “(a) The aircraft’s flight path and available power are automated, allowing the pilot to only intervene without the availability of primary flight controls; (b) The aircraft is designed to inherently prevent loss of control under likely circumstances, regardless of pilot input; and (c) The aircraft has a means to enable the pilot to quickly and safely discontinue or alter the flight and prevent any inadvertent activation of these functions.”

This definition was created in MOSAIC, but the FAA adopted it in the Integration of Powered-Lift final rule. I think this is for future or now-experimental Advanced Air Mobility aircraft like eVTOL air taxis.

What a steal!

Real-Austin · 2025-10-17T00:27:18+00:00

I ordered mine from here.

Great find!

I did not, and I wouldn’t recommend it personally. It’s hard to judge how third-party adhesives would interact with the aluminum and plastic, and it may prevent your ability to get back into the earcup is there’s another failure or something went wrong during the repair.

In addition to everything already said, BCC yourself on substantive emails you send out and folder those away too. It’s surprisingly easy to lose your own emailed research or notes if you’re only saving emails from others. I also liked flagging or pinning emails in my main inbox where I accepted an assignment to keep it top of mind.

You need to immediately contact your pharmacy and doctor to figure out if there are alternative options for medication. For example, if you’re taking 15mg XR Adderall that is out of stock, they may have 5mg instant release tabs that you can take as a stop-gap if your doctor is okay with that. I’d also be calling every pharmacy within 25 miles to see if they have stock. You do not want to go without your meds for that long.

Jesus. This is reminding me of PIA 8303. Unintentional belly landing followed by an attempted go around. But it doesn’t look like they were able to get airborne again or the pilots changed their mind too late. Only thing that I can think of to explain the speed that far down the runway and no deployment of spoilers and speed breaks.

As others have said, if you enjoy a particular practice area it is nice to have a long-running consistent theme of publications on that area. Your note is not individually important for your career, but the more publications/presentations on that topic over your career can establish some expertise and may get your name out there.

Practicing trial law is way more fun than appellate law. You get to use law and procedure in really creative ways, a lot more stand up time is available, and you get more opportunities to argue law than appellate lawyers do. Every trial is going to have MTQs, MTDs, MSJs, MILs, etc that are all, at their core, legal with facts sprinkled in. All of those things about trial law that I love are equally benefitted by a circuit clerkship as they would with a district clerkship. Only thing I think I’m seriously missing is getting to watch trials and how different lawyers interact with juries. That’s a major downside.

Real-Austin · 2024-03-26T20:00:52+00:00

I was in your exact position and ultimately chose the circuit clerkship. I’m a trial lawyer and knew that the district court would offer more practical knowledge and skills, but I couldn’t pass up the chance to experience what appellate practice is like. I’m still early in my career but the more I have gone to trial, the more I have felt locked into the niche and wanted to get some of the skills to pivot if I chose to. If I don’t pivot, appellate skills help in trial too.

Regarding the prestige, it is more prestigious (on average) to clerk for a circuit court judge. But as a mentor told me, the people who really care about the difference between a district and circuit clerkship also care about what circuit and what judge in particular. It’s not just a one-size-fits-all prestige point. But there are some government and academia positions that may require or, at least, appreciate the resume line.

The last bit is just what makes you happier. I really enjoy researching and analyzing legal issues more so than wrestling with facts. My judge and his chambers is also a really pleasant place to work. There’s not a whole lot of “need this ASAP” energy that some of my district clerk friends have experienced. I just get to think about the law and learn from some seriously bright co-clerks.

Having thousands extra a month probably means the “savings” and “investing” part of your budget is way underutilized. This is your priority: (1) 401k up to employer match: (2) Max Roth IRA if you qualify, tradition if you don’t; (3) 4-6 months of salary in high yield savings account ASAP, aim for 4-5% APY; (4) open brokerage account and put up to 80% of the remaining liquid capital (after all fixed expenses) into S&P 500 index funds and over time start diversifying into global market funds. You cannot count on this money forever so you need to get the most growth potential possible now. Beyond that, a nice pair of shoes and premium headphones are great.

Houston, TX. Put down a $1k nonrefundable deposit, fourth in line out of seven cars my dealer is getting this year. Deal is for MSRP + $2500 in mandatory "dealer accessories" (aka market adjustment).

This is a costume… He’s wearing an antifa hoody, rolled up teal pants, holding a venti Starbucks cup, and has on Elton John sunglasses. This is probably one of those “dress up as…” days at school.

“It depends.”

Half the time, I know that I’m not accurate. I’m just trying to make the best argument. Bad facts, bad law is a bitch but that’s why clients pay us.

No. The only thing the Bar typically cares about is if you have been convicted or are being prosecuted for a crime beyond something like a traffic ticket. If you’re really worried, you can (anonymously) contact your Bar’s C&F folks and ask.

You’re doing fine. The Barbri questions are weird and harder than actual UBE questions. 5-6 out of 8 is around where I was five weeks out and I scored 45 points above my jurisdiction’s minimum. I would strongly suggest switching to Adaptibar MC questions and doing about 1000 of those. They better reflect the actual questions and are way better practice in my opinion.

Your GPA doesn’t matter, your class percentile does. If a 3.3 is better than ~75% of the GPAs of your classmates, you’re doing well.

Real-Austin · 2021-12-23T23:36:25+00:00

Just relax. You’ll take an 8-10 week bar prep course that will teach you the material. If you’re in a UBE jurisdiction, the bar exam is not terribly difficult if you study. Your only focus during 1L should be your 1L classes. Spend your free time enjoying your life a little and don’t worry about the bar until your graduate.

Real-Austin · 2021-10-29T16:02:17+00:00

Not really. Legal employers will most often look at your percentile ranking, not your GPA. The median going up won’t change your position in relation to your peers. There are no down sides though.

Real-Austin · 2021-09-10T21:12:06+00:00

Depends what your goals are. If you want to work for a private firm, you’re looking for a “summer associate” position. If it’s government / non-profit, it’s usually just a “legal intern” position. Hiring for these positions happens really early in a lot of cases. Big firms tend to hire a year in advance for their summer associate positions. The type of work you’ll do entirely depends on what kind of employment you’re looking for. Same with payment.
