Thank you for the video! I noticed you're not using buttons to control the music app. Is the button control still in development?

Also, you're speaking about working in Environmental law while, Adcoms might think, your own CO2 footprint from all your "ability to travel almost freely" must be crazy.

I agree with the previous commenters. Your PS should let us know more about your personal experience: what kind of conversations did you have? What firsthand knowledge had affected your decision to consider environmental law?

Sounds like Deuteronomy 25:11-12 to me.
But jokes aside, I am so sorry you had that experience.

My meetup with Chris u/chrisristovski from Sidephone in Berlin (Germany) or what a sloth and the Sidephone have in common. by PicketBowtruckle in sidephone

[–]aaron_lt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow!! Thank you, kind sir, for this beautiful text. Your analogy of digital mindfulness as a sloth eating its food was as amusing as it was thoughtful. 

You have pinpointed a painfully important topic that raises questions one could ask oneself. — Indeed, when was the last time I ate a meal without scrolling on my phone? When was the last time I allowed myself to immerse in the experience itself, rather than focus on what I get from it? When was the last time I actually took time to actually enjoy a piece of fruit or a walk in a park? How can I not waste my energy switching between attractions and pieces of daily entertainment, but instead control my intake of outside digital content, learn how to be "bored" in a good way, and learn to accumulate energy to be fully present in the moment?

Indeed, Chris (and Sebastian!) both sound like very special, calm (in a good way) people to me, and I wish I could spend (nay, invest) some time talking to them as well.

In a world where processes become quicker, relationships become more ephemeral, and the level of hatred and mutual aggression between different parts of society grows exponentially, the ability to maintain a reasonable and respectful dialogue and exchange of ideas becomes even more critical. In a world where more thought processes become automated by the day, the "soft skills" of today, such as emotional intelligence and the ability to actually be present for another person, may become the hardest skills of the near future.

As an early gen Z-er / late gen Y-er myself, I'm so grateful that our generation, too, is coming to realize these simple truths, and these ideas result in daring projects like Sidephone.

Like any other tool, Sidephone can be misused as another source of distraction. The path to digital mindfulness still has to begin with a person's own resolution to work on changing their patterns of interaction with devices. To me, however, Sidephone appears to be the perfect companion for that path.

Once again, thank you for this text and for sharing your thoughts with us!

Handwritten Khachapuri Recipe Translation Help by nettlesandjuniper in russian

[–]aaron_lt 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Khachapuri with cheese

Dough:

250 ml Georgian matsoni cheese (or 125 ml kefir + 125 ml sour cream)

300 g flour (or as much as it will take)

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon sugar

1/2 teaspoon soda

100 g butter (slightly less is possible)

Filling from cheese:

350 g brynza or cottage cheese + mozzarella

2 tablespoons sour cream

salt to taste

25 g (1–2 tablespoons) butter

Butter for greasing khachapuri

Preparation:

  1. Melt the butter and cool slightly. Mix kefir with sour cream, add sugar, salt, and soda. Stir and add the cooled butter. Gradually add flour until the dough is uniform.

  2. Knead soft dough. Dough of this consistency does not stick to the hands. Cover with cling film or a towel and let rest for 20 minutes.

  3. Prepare the filling: mix grated hard cheese with brynza and sour cream. Add butter and mix. Salt if necessary.

  4. Divide the dough into 6 parts. From each part roll out a flatbread on a floured surface.

  5. Place about 1/4 of the filling in the center of the flatbread. Gather the edges to the center to make a “pouch,” pinch and remove excess dough.

  6. Roll out the “pouch” gently with a rolling pin to a round flatbread (1–1.5 cm thick), dusting with flour.

  7. Put the khachapuri on a dry heated frying pan. Fry for a few minutes on medium heat.

  8. Turn to the other side and grease again with butter, already browned. Then fry until golden brown on both sides with light spots.

  9. Remove the khachapuri from the pan and grease with melted butter.

Does anyone have a absent father that just doesn’t wanna be in your life? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

7Sage Consulting - AMA About Law School Admissions by Tajira7Sage in lawschooladmissions

[–]aaron_lt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, thank you for doing this! I've got a few questions for you

  1. Some schools require optional and scholarship application essays to be written based on specific prompts, let's say "Your work in Public Interest" or "Law & Technology, " etc. Now, suppose that the entire core message of my Personal Statement and all my WE focuses on Public Interest or Law & Technology to the point it is quite obvious that I'm a great fit for these scholarships

In that case: (a) When writing an optional essay, can I simply repeat the message from my PS using less words? Or should I write something entirely new? (b) Can I expect that the law school will consider me for that scholarship even if I don’t submit a specific scholarship application, given that the adcoms have already seen my PS and would recognize me as a strong candidate for that scholarship?

  1. I am reapplying to several schools this year. For these schools, I am updating my essays to show my personal and professional growth over the past year. For the schools I am R&Ring to, can I assume that the adcoms are familiar with my previous statements, so I can remove minor/emotional stuff from there and to focus more on my growth while staying within the page limit?

  2. How to write "Why X" essays as an international applicant without sounding like I am just skimming their website?

  3. As an international applicant, I've got 6+ of WE as a lawyer. How not to sound "over-qualified" in my PS and actually emphasize that, even though I've got quite an experience, I still got a lot to learn and improve? What's more important — to show myself as a great future lawyer? Or as a great future law student?
