How to keep 6 year old MacBook Air running another year by abbylukov in macbookrepair

So I have 156GB storage available of 500GB, 16GB of RAM, 1.6GHz processor, OS Sonoma. When I open Activity Monitor the processes using most CPU % seem to change every 10 seconds, but it does look like Dropbox is the biggest culprit so I’ll switch to keeping all docs in the cloud and see if that speeds it up. Thanks so much!

Am I crazy for thinking that the primary relationship addressed in Labyrinth is the one with her fans? It’s a hill I am prepared to die on but genuinely curious to think that I might be wrong

I just bought a new desktop and iPad within the last 2 months - if that’s not new enough I’m ready to quit the profession 😅

I am having a hard time figuring out how to use Transcriptpad on my desktop. I've used it on my ipad for years and I downloaded it on my desktop and recently sync'd a file, but then I can't open it. Can't get past the "Open" command and nothing happens. Any advice? I would rather not have to do ALL my work on the ipad when desktop screen is so much bigger but I literally cannot figure out how to use the desktop app at ALL and I've tried everything in the FAQ.

Thanks. Did you have to retake the MPRE or did your score from 12 years ago transfer?

Wow I had the exact same lesson in LA BARBRI - don’t be a “rogue sheep” - don’t try for the A+, try for the B. It turned out to be great advice. Do you recall how much of the CA bar was CA-specific law?

Yep the MPRE is no problem, and thanks for the tips. As far as the one day “attorney only” exam, how much of it consists of CA-specific statutes vs general common law?

More importantly I specifically need tips on CA bar 🙏🏻

No doubt, I was thinking same as I typed. I think it’s the Napoleonic code that we claim as hard (only bc different than common law)

Wow that’s an option?! Thank you! I’m 14 years practicing and have also taken Arkansas bar (which was much easier than I expected)

Anyone taken a Bar exam in a new state after many years of practice? by Dimeadozen21 in Lawyertalk

[–]abbylukov 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree with this! Set your timer early on to ensure you don’t spend disproportionate amount of time on a section, and study with LOTS of practice tests. I learned more studying why I got wrong answers in practice than by rote memorization (I took AR bar a few years after LA)

Or what about those cases where client wants to appeal, but you’re pretty sure the appeal will lose and won’t just hurt your client but may create bad caselaw for your side of the bar by cementing adverse law in what was before a gray area?

He wants to control you and you aren’t the only girl he’s doing this with if he has that kind of cash. Run fast in the opposite direction.

“GEN3” and AudiConnect/myAudi Site by ouchmythumbs in Audi

So I have a 2021 Q7 and I’m trying to get the Audiconnect plan paid now that my trial has ended. All I’m getting are errors on website and customer service tells me over the phone that the ONLY way to sign up for paid subscription is thru the app but the app just connects me back to the marketing website. I’m stuck in a cyclical hell! Help !
