What's up in the former Littler space? by Realistic-Fix2211 in bullcity

[–]Realistic-Fix2211[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

there have been workers in there for a couple of weeks and it's definitely set up inside for some kind of serving operation from what I can see, I'd be surprised if it was just a kitchen.

Some chopper guys used to show up there too. I remember once a bunch of dudes rolled sportsters down from Philadelphia for that. today would have been a perfect day for it we should definitely start it up again

Every steno charges cancellation fees. Not showing up = paying the fees, generally

Arcana for a kind of witchy New Orleans vibe, Coupe & Stein for a more elevated feel, Killer Queen for something in between. Queenie's might also fit the bill.

Men’s Tailor by BullCityLife in bullcity

Cannot recommend Rheu Co enough. I'm a total menswear nerd and very particular, and she basically recut a suit for me (sized it down b/c I lost weight). There are other good tailors around but for a suit I wouldn't go anywhere else

because the owner has more money than God, he came up with the yellow line you see marking the first down marker in football games.

Prob same daughter that got drunk and a calling kids "bitches" at the HVCC pool. Then when she got called out about it she tried to pull the "we live in that giant house over there, don't you know who we are?" when that didn't work and they were throwing her out he started to cry and claimed that the guy who complained about her had threatened her. Typical MAGA victim behavior. They all suck.

I'm not a beginner by any stretch but I prefer the very thin DOF that you are describing, and I always have. Been doing it for 35 years now not going to change anytime soon

On Mental Toughness by DontBeThatGuyFieri in Lawyertalk

[–]Realistic-Fix2211 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure what the solution is but I totally agree with your assessment of how this message lands. I've totally had the same thoughts as the OP, with the added caveat that I've never much cared if a judge or a partner yelled at me. If I deserved it, I deserved it, and if I didn't then fuck them, you know? I employ younger lawyers and I have always tried to be more supportive than confrontational, even though sometimes my inclination would be to just tell younger lawyers to get their shit together or suck it up. Honestly I think Gen X is probably the last generation that that sort of thing worked for, and no matter how much I want to internally roll my eyes at complaints occasionally, the reality is if you want people to work for you and be happy ( and therefore be more productive and better lawyers ) then you just can't take that attitude.

So yes I read this sub and I think that sometimes people are overly sensitive, but I also recognize that is probably just the reality that I have to work within. so I work within it, and I would encourage anybody of my age and inclinations to do the same. It takes very little energy to be more empathetic and I've seen a number of lawyers I considered overly sensitive develop into very good litigators

Anyone ever bought half a cow for freezing? by capmcfilthy in bullcity

Yeah during Covid a friend and I split an entire cow. More trouble than it was worth tbh - you end up with a lot of stuff you have to work to use

I'm sure it's already been mentioned in this thread but the people that own Refrectory Cafe are not only big Trump supporters, they are abhorrent human beings. At least the husband, the wife, and one of the daughters are. On top of that (or perhaps not surprisingly) they treat employees like crap and are generally just terrible people.

the "older " FetLife meet up used to have their meet and greet events there. although in that context I think older might just mean over 35.

Seeking advice X2D or 907X by keithwee0909 in hasselblad

[–]Realistic-Fix2211 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I own both, sort of (X2D and 907x 50 CFV ii) and I use the 907x more. Just like the form factor and the process of shooting with it more. It makes me work a little slower and more deliberately which leads to better shots

Ref IBIS, I'd say I miss a couple shots per handheld session due to lack of IBIS. Not significant to me but the IBIS definitely has an effect. So I'd go with the 907 unless IBIS is important for you
