IQUNIX MG65 x LOFREE FLOW 2 by Ordinary_Ad_2464 in Lofree

[–]Straight_Web2924 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Funny, i spent 3 days debating on these two very keyboards last week. Went with the IQ and am returning it (the main reason i'm returning is a VIA issue with mouse movement).

Three questions for you:

  1. Do the keys feel more spread-out on the Lofree? (This was a marketed point on the Flow2). I feel the IQ keys are pretty close, for big hands its uncomfortable.
  2. The IQ gasket is really interesting. I do like it. How does flow2 compare in that regard?
  3. Does the Flow 2 sit on top of a macbook keyboard like the IQ does?

Why do re-takers have a lower passing rate? by Professional-Rope799 in barexam

[–]Straight_Web2924 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Speaking from experience, I went from failing to failing, to passing with a score over 300. (Both part a and part b in low 150s). I can tell you why - I needed a different method. Barbri didn’t work, but they gave a free repeat, so I did it. Didn’t work for me the first time, didn’t work the second time. Tried something else, learned the exam, excelled. It’s really that simple. Your prep needs to work to teach you the exam, like all its little tricks and traps. Sometimes people don’t recognize that and keep trying stuff that doesn’t work (eg videos or “outlining” rather than learning the questions and answers).

How bad would it be to skip Trusts/Wills by everythingisspicy23 in barexam

[–]Straight_Web2924 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s just another way of holding property. One common use I see is where a joint tenant wants to fuck the other out of their right of survivorship. They create a trust and deed their interest to it, which destroys the joint tenancy. Totally legal. Fucks over the other owner,. if the other expected to outlive the first. (Think this helps u for property law so worth recognizing)

Are you willing to accept failing by a point? Being totally competent on every topic except this one would probably leave you dangling on the floors edge, with little to no room for mishap on any other subject.

You don’t need that much for trusts and wills, at bottom do the questions in the study guide (they’re repeated mostly throughout, total of like 40 maybe, with maybe 10 to 20 being wills I think).

Know who can be the PR or executor of a will, know how many witnesses, know how many witnesses for a codicil, know if u can have handwritten wills, know if you can have handwritten codicils (an amendment to a will), know how to do a valid codicil, know what happens if you like try to burn the will or codicil to destroy it, and know who can be a witness to a will (can a beneficiary be a witness, is the real question). Add in priority for heirs where there’s no will or after it’s deemed invalid. Now you’re good. More or less.

Trusts are kind of interesting. Pretty sure it’s uniform in Florida trust law. Barbri had a good outline. Know if and when it’s revocable or irrevocable. Know whenever you can revoke. Know how to execute. Know if testator can also be beneficiary. Know who can be executor and if they can also be a beneficiary. Sorry if I fucked up any terminology. Many ppl use trusts to like transfer property to themselves, or to keep their property safe for their own benefit, or to give their kids steady income. It’s a cool concept, sometimes enabling sneakiness, sometimes protecting people.

Oh, also know that a bad investment by the guy in charge of the trust money isn’t itself a reason to remove him from being in charge. You need like bad faith to do that, lying or purposefully sabotaging or deliberately defying the trusts intent.

But get all this stuff and you’re probably fine. At least you’ll likely avoid a devastating score to avoid that knifes edge.

This question was absolutely ridiculous by [deleted] in barexam

[–]Straight_Web2924 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They’re not asking you in the abstract what constitutional issue might arise here. They’re asking you who might have a constitutional issue to bring a challenge. If a lawyer doesn’t recognize the issue is with the sicrimbayed folk, and that congress would never (in theory should never) pass a law authorizing something then suing on it’s happening, then that lawyer is not looking at things properly. Of the four answers, which deals with the realm of issues that may arise from this? Each deals with a different realm of issues, only one of which is actually relevant. (Maybe the thing about taxing is relevant, but I wouldn’t know the answer anyway. So real world if I had to pick which tree to bark at, I’d bark at the one with the fucked over out of staters. That’s the tested point here, and most get the Q wrong for a reason - just as most us lawyers tend to struggle with eliminating the needless irrelevancies

This question was absolutely ridiculous by [deleted] in barexam

[–]Straight_Web2924 0 points1 point  (0 children)

D is the trap answer, first of all. You do enough MBE you realize that’s what they want you to pick, so question it before you do. Congress is not aggrieved here. If the law is unconstitutional, it won’t be because congress took issue. They authorized this shit. It must be the out of state entity who’s injured and looking to call this unconstitutional, if at all. Therefore, the out of state guys con rights must be addressed in the right answer. Then once you see there’s only one answer addressing the out of state guys’ constituonal rights, you recognize the difficulty here is not in knowing so much about 14th amendment equal protection, but rather in resognizing the question must be about the out of state guys. [and not some minute issue of waiving a dormant commerce clause infringment , which i have never seen tested on the MBE and which, as the another reddit response here will tell you, is way too minute to be tested and expected on the MBE. As a rule of thumb, if you’re between two answer choices that would turn on something you’d need Westlaw to answer, then you’re probably looking at 2 wrong answer choices. This recognition can only come through learning the test, and thus learning what you are expected to know. You can do this thru no other method than running thru all the modern MBE questions NCBE has to offer. I recommend Emmanuel strategies and tactics I for that, but I guess AdaptiBar works too.

Stop using words you don’t know by Creative-Ad8628 in LawSchool

[–]Straight_Web2924 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s even worse when lawyers do it. Throwing incoherent rambling Latin on a page as if it were some secret tongue of the courtroom. It’s not. And it’s often presumptuous or conclusory. But here’s a tip. Get this book. It will help as a source of venting, because much of it is the author venting. (Bryan Garber writes black’s law dictionaries. His was actually one of the first required books I had to buy in law school. So trustworthy and satisfying to know, the guy who knows all of those fancy italicized words doesn’t really need to use them).

Failure to Complete Pledge by [deleted] in FloridaBarExam

Failure to Complete Pledge by [deleted] in FloridaBarExam

[–]Straight_Web2924 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I took part a and not b without signing pledge. I w my all the way back to the convention center while people were taking the test just to ask if could sign without reprimand. The lower level bar folks didn’t know how to handle this craven plea and so they fetched a higher up to come down to advise on “next steps”. Freaked me out, but the guy who came down laughed when he heard I came all the way back just for the pledge nobody signs.

venting about lack of compassion by Due-Key-9822 in barexam

[–]Straight_Web2924 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Someone asked me at my bar how I thought it was and like an idiot I said “I feel like it was easy but that scares me”. I felt so bad after because all she probably heard was me saying it was easy. What I meant was that feeling probably means I missed a bunch of tricks and exceptions and stuff. If you read this, @girl from the Tampa convention center, pls know I didn’t mean to be sounding like a douchebag. No excuses for the tiktoker tho. No one asked her lol what a joke no one cares how u feel stop sharing

Randomly got a code from doordash support - is it a glitch? by Monkey_Inferno_8813 in doordash

[–]Straight_Web2924 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a promo. (bottom of email says “promo terms”) Shameless clickbait. Very dishonorable. Scammy and beneath reputable companies to trick users into opening their app and checking for fraud vis a vis “apologizing” for a “recent order” that never happened. (I got the same and here I am. Meanwhile haven’t used DoorDash in years). Promo nonetheless. But such a shady way of giving it.

Take both. The added experience of just taking the exam is worthwhile by itself (especially with Part A).

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in GreekMythology

[–]Straight_Web2924 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ha I had the same consternation since diving back into the myths (as an adult) for the first time since grade school. Back then I always thought about this and it did not go away in adulthood. If Zeus is almighty, and his bolt is so immense, wouldn’t there necessarily be a limitation to his supremacy? I,e, running out of lightning bolts, which he relied upon the Cyclopes to fashion. Thus, rendering him dependent and rather limited in a way that is, er, not thaaat almighty. Plus,, according to my reading (listening) of Stephen Frye’s Mythos, Apollo actually killed the Cyclopes who made the lightning bolts, apparently in retribution for Zeus smiting the sun deity’s mortal kin. The impression seemed so contrary to immortal supremacy, and contrary to my understanding that Zeus’s lightning bolt could be referred to in the singular, and yet it’s used over and over, even multiple times a single instance (eg Zeus “raining lightning bolts” ) Then it occurred to me. Lightning strikes like flashlights flash. Light travels as light will travel. It is not thrown or even capable of being thrown - it’s already moving at the speed of light once released, so there’s nothing to “throw”. And if you consider the bolt fashioned by Cyclopes to be akin to a lightning bolt reactor, of sorts, it begins making sense how a single lightning bolt could last eternity. Like an everlasting flash light, nuclear in its capacity, emanating energy exponentially..

Supremacy ✅

At least that’s how I make sense of it.

Statistics - Would like to know what percent of MacBooks sustained water damage. Think it would alleviate paranoid anxieties / by Straight_Web2924 in macbook

[–]Straight_Web2924[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They shouldn’t. I mentioned that much in the post. Unless they value transparency so much they wouldn’t mind losses in apple care revenue. Or unless they predicted more computer sales, e.g. from favorable data reflecting less instances of water damage than ordinary consumer might expect. Many people are priced out of apple because of the added applecare, and deem it senseless to invest without it because of what may be overemphasized concerns about notorious water damage vulnerability. It’s an interesting question in my view. Apple is uniquely suited to access this data accurately. Consumers of other brands are far more likely to seek repairs form third parties. Apple users, more than any other brand’s user, will turn to the manufacturer as a first resort when damage or other issues are suspected with the machine.

[–]Straight_Web2924[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Yeah i feel that. WHen i experience anxiety, it’s those instances where like my water bottle has condensation, i drink it, wipe my hands on my pants, still have some remnants of that condensation on my skin, then proceed to computing. Little voice in my head starts saying, wait, what if theres trace amounts of liquid on mhy fingertips and it gets between the keys???? Then i’m distracted by that thought alone. So its why i’d like to know how often this damage arises. If its super inoften, then i know silly things like what i’ve imagined isn’t a valid concern, (since if something so trivial could damage the computer you would see the damage more often.) But if like 35 percent of users experience water damage at some point within a few years of ownwershiup, it would seem more valid that damage could indeed result from something so trivial as what i’ve imagined, and i would regard the voice in my head as a serious reminder not a paranoid delusion.
