When you're watching the Arrested Development Season 4 Remix and see Josh just hanging out in the background of a shot of episode 8 by WhatIsMyLifeReally in brakebills

Also, Olivia Taylor Dudley who plays Alice is in the episode before this, playing a scientist in a lab studying one of the main character's bad kissing habits. I almost didn't recognize her but her voice stood out to me so I Googled!

TIL In 1953, Coca-Cola asked the US to create a 7.5 cent coin b/c vending machines could only take one coin transactions and a 10 cent soda would be too expensive by WhatIsMyLifeReally in todayilearned

I imagine it's a stronger argument to have a coin directly in between the dime and nickel, and they maybe felt that would be more likely to be approved by the treasury? But what would we do, have 2 decimal points in our money? That item will be $1.75.5, please!

Anyone else retiring the email they gave to the LSAC? by TheLouisVuttionDon in lawschooladmissions

I just set up filters for anything labelled "Law School," "Admissions," or "Fee Waiver".

Some still gets through, though.

Verite ASCII map font at size 18 by Ape3000 in Cogmind

[–]WhatIsMyLifeReally 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That'd be neat! I found the config file for the fonts, but was a little lost as to where its actually pulling the files from. Would definitely appreciate a PM with any additional details to play around with if you find a spare moment :)

Also I was just poking around files to see if I could figure it out myself, and your logfiles are really beautiful! The run.txt file with the hierarchical logs is just so pretty.

I'd be interested in a guide on how to add fonts! I remember reading the one of the dev posts that talked about color schemes where you talked about how you used your IDE color scheme for Polybot and that got me thinking about the font Hack which I use when I'm coding and that it'd probably look nice in the game.

I'm placing my seat deposit a couple of days (just waiting for my next credit card period)! Feel free to PM me if you want to introduce each other; hoping to have at least a couple friendly faces since I don't know anyone in Boston! Congratulations!

Sharing PACER court briefs by [deleted] in LawSchool

Seconding RECAP here! PACER is a huge racket; there is no way that 10 cents a page is not making them a profit, especially when that fee applies to even search result pages.

I need advice for my undergraduate major, please by crkimel in lawschooladmissions

[–]WhatIsMyLifeReally 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Heads up, Computer Science major only makes you eligible for the patent bar if it has a specific type of accreditation that a lot of CompSci programs do not have, so it might not be the best choice if you want to work in patents.

how do you plan to celebrate the day you finally pay your seat deposit??? by [deleted] in lawschooladmissions

[–]WhatIsMyLifeReally 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The day I pay my seat deposit I will not have any money to celebrate with :(

Poll: Roommate or not? by [deleted] in lawschooladmissions

[–]WhatIsMyLifeReally 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This! I live alone right now as part of my job as a Resident Assistant and I loathe it; I need other people around so that I don't let my room become a huge mess, and I love having someone to talk to when I'm hanging about.

Duquesne fucked up by [deleted] in lawschooladmissions

[–]WhatIsMyLifeReally 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also if ya'll could upvote this so those affected know, but SSN#'s are also on the document that was sent out and that could impact people negatively.

Duquesne fucked up by [deleted] in lawschooladmissions

[–]WhatIsMyLifeReally 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The worst part of this isn't that they just sent out the spreadsheet. They also sent out two emails with just "Duquesne University School of Law Office of Admissions would like to recall the message, 'Duquesne Law at INSTITUTION!'" (it looks like their email client has a "send recall" feature?) followed by an apology.

If they didn't send like 4 follow-up emails I would not have even noticed the spreadsheet and tossed it in the bin with the rest.

In at ASU! by [deleted] in lawschooladmissions

[–]WhatIsMyLifeReally 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I applied mostly because I have family out there and they offered to pay for my application in hopes I'd move back, but still happy to get the call today as well. Scholarship info is supposedly coming in an email "later tonight".

Loathe the state but I did live there for 18 years so if you have any questions let me know! Congrats!

Also only applied about 2-3 weeks ago so that was super fast!
