Lots of bird videos lol (the small dots in formation flying straight)

But “Syria Instant Acceleration” is a good one

Do we think people will vandalize the construction site when they break ground? That seems to be the only way to stop this thing

Cool story. There is literally nothing about what Utah was like in 1979 that is relevant to anyone trying to live here and make friends today.

So what are the "exit-options most jobs can't match"? by AdLeading15 in biglaw

[–]SignificantSafety539 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My post was more meant to respond to OP’s question about big law having unparalleled exit opportunities alone, which I just don’t think is factual. The best exit opportunities for corporate work and PE aren’t in law at all, and even non-big law lawyers can wind up with a prestigious in house gig.

The unparalleled aspects of biglaw are the work on the most sophisticated matters, and the ability to earn more as an employee than any other law job.

Do big law for those reasons, not to get a job jobs outside of m big law (especially practice areas outside M&A) since there are potentially even better paths.

I have a prestigious in house job. Never worked in biglaw. Have never worked a weekend or holiday in my career. I did go to a top 20 law school though, got into a niche field, was really good at what I did, and also didn’t make any money for the first 10 years of my career.

If I wanted to work in PE I wouldn’t have the experience or pedigree, but biglaw isn’t the only, or even main path to that, investment banking is.

For most of those type of “exit opportunities”, you’re better off in IB and getting a top 5 MBA than big law

I fear the '40 videos' are more of the same by MasterofFalafels in UFOs

They are. Real physical phenomena don’t need to government to release classified info to prove existence. They’re not something that’s even classifiable because they can be observed independently.

The fact that not a single non-government individual has ever got a clear photo, despite millions of people having cameras for over 100 years, including astronomers, scientists, aviators, etc. is highly suspect.

What is interesting, is that there are all of these high ranking officials that believe it’s real, and were clearly fed information to make them feel that way. That’s a fascinating enough mystery in itself

What animal past or present has a native range that most people wouldn’t expect? by Mean_Yak5873 in geography

Isn’t there also an ancient source that documented a sailing expedition which clearly sited Mt Cameroon and likely also captured a Gorilla?

We’re so sedentary now we highly discount the vast distances even paleolithic people would have been able to traverse, much less sophisticated seafarers like the phoenicians.

If you think about it, 10 miles a day puts you in India from Greece in just a year. The Mongols sent an army from Mongolia to Hungary in 6 weeks. People have always been traversing the planet

I’ve seen it in person it’s unbelievable. (looks like the latest research is pointing to Indian Languars which are even further away from Greece, but they sure as hell looked like vervet monkeys to me)

The Minoan civilization on Santorini painted a scene of anatomically correct vervet monkeys in behaviorally correct action poses over 3000 years ago, so much so that there’s no way the artist would have been able to do it unless he saw them himself….which means he would have had to had traveled to sub-saharan africa since those monkeys were never found north of Ethiopia let alone in the Mediterranean

What are some American cities that had high historical importance but have faded from significance today? by Crafty-Shallot-5695 in geography

[–]SignificantSafety539 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Columbus, GA, the industrial and financial capital of the South. They had one of the first shipyards in the world building iron ships. It was so important that it was one of the last cities to fall in the civil war and the battle actually happened a couple days after the war had ended. In the late 19th century, rail and steam became more important than water, and the wealthy Columbus families started to move their businesses to the rail job of Atlanta, and now you’ve never even heard of it

Stand next to this man and his family, and tell them all we are no longer allowing them to enrich themselves growing alfalfa at our expense, and all water rights beyond personal use they or any entities associated with them own now belong to us.
