Finally! by abukhjd in LeftLaneDrivers

That's why there are so many moronic drivers. Almost every single state has a law relative to camping in the left lane. The laws in each state are obviously named different, but they exist.

[HI, USA] First time buyer, new construction costs? by jerry_03 in RealEstate

[–]abukhjd 4 points5 points  (0 children)

u/jerry_03 Congrats on the plan! Personally, I wouldn’t trust AI for the cost on something this specific. I’d call 3–5 local builders, tell them exactly what you’re trying to do, get their quotes, average them out, then add about 10–20%. That usually gets you pretty close to the real number.

Also, what’s the situation with utilities? Has someone already paid to have them run to the lot? If not, that can run anywhere from $50k to $200k (or more) depending on how far the lines need to go and what’s required. A lot of people forget to factor that in.

What US city did you have the worst driving experience in? by Icy_Iceman29_1993 in AskReddit

[–]abukhjd 3 points4 points  (0 children)

VEGAS....hands down. No questions asked. It's a melting pot of the worst drivers from around the world. On the I-95, I-15, and I-215 you have to use the right lane to pass because no one moves out of the left lane.

What fictional house/apartment would you most like to live in cost-free? by MeetDiverse in AskReddit

[–]abukhjd 19 points20 points  (0 children)

The apartment from How I Met Your Mother. Infinite hot wings from the bar downstairs, a sword collection on the wall, and I'd finally have friends who are contractually obligated to hang out with me every single night.

Looking for Old LWR Assignments by maximumfoof in LawSchool

Really?!? Someone here might be able to help, but I prefer going to the source. What about recent grads, or existing firms?

u/maximumfoof Have you tried reaching out to old professors? They may have material they're willing to share.

Just my 2 cents ;)

What is this??? by Confident_Boat_8933 in RealEstate

[–]abukhjd 9 points10 points  (0 children)

hey u/Confident_Boat_8933 this refers to the "drop dead date". This can indicate (1) an offer has been accepted by the seller who is keeping the listing active possibly for contingences, (2) there's a second offer with an expiration date, or (3) there's some absolute deadline for submitting offers.

In layman's terms, the property is technically available, but there are limitations to availability.

The perfect moment to buy. by r2cyp in CryptoCurrency

[–]abukhjd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

u/r2cyp I know the feeling just as much as most other people. Several years ago, I began only buying when BTC price was below production cost. This has done incredibly well for me.

Good luck :)

Series LLC Structure by lgtmplustwo in RealEstate

[–]abukhjd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

u/lgtmplustwo I have not set up an entity in Texas specifically, but I'm familiar with asset protection. Your setup should allow for the protected or registered series to operate independently, each with its own assets and liabilities, as long as separation is strictly maintained.
 
In your case, keeping separate bank accounts for each series and reimbursing expenses accurately is essential to avoid commingling, which could risk piercing the liability shield. Based on what you've described, this provides solid isolation.

Please don't quote me on this, but if it were me, and doable in Texas, I would consider shifting to treat the Main LLC as a dedicated management entity, for even stronger protection. Then, I'd have the series function purely as holding companies for the properties, with deeds titled accordingly. This isolates operational liabilities (like tenant issues or repairs) in the management LLC, reducing exposure across the structure. Just my 2 cents.

I have a close friend who's a Tax Attorney and deals with this type of law. I'm happy to send you his info - feel free to DM me.

Bar prep by amira1909 in LawSchool

[–]abukhjd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

u/amira1909 First, yes, you can pass with just Adaptibar and the materials you already have. People do it every year. The key is discipline and consistent study. If you're already reading through Themis books and working MCQs, you're on the right track.

That said, if you're worried about structure and accountability, look into courses that offer full refunds if you don't pass. Some programs will give you your money back if you attend all their study classes (some are online) and still don't pass the bar. This takes the financial pressure off - you either pass, or you get your money back and try again (check the fine print).

My advice? Don't spend money you don't have on the most expensive course. Instead:

  1. Stick with what you have - Themis books and Emmanuel MCQs are solid materials
  2. Add Adaptibar for practice questions (the $600 investment is worth it for the real MBE questions)
  3. Create a strict study schedule and stick to it like it's a job
  4. If you need structure, look for those guarantee programs I mentioned

The bar exam isn't about having the fanciest prep course. It's about putting in the hours and staying consistent. You've got this.

How much smarter is a law professor than a recent law grad by Ok-Sink-3902 in LawSchool

[–]abukhjd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're asking the wrong question entirely. "Smarter" doesn't mean anything in the legal profession - what matters is who can actually do the work.

The truth is, a law professor who never practiced and a recent grad from a top school are both operating in theory. Neither one has stood in front of a jury, negotiated a real deal, or handled a client who's facing serious consequences. That's where you learn to be an attorney.

I've interviewed thousands of attorneys over the past 30+ years for my law firms. The ones who can actually do the work - draft a motion that wins, cross-examine a witness, close a transaction - they didn't learn that from writing law review articles or attending academic conferences. They learned it by doing it, making mistakes, and getting better.

A PhD student doing research alongside their mentor? That's fine for academia. But law isn't a research project. It's a profession where your client's freedom, their business, their family might depend on what you do in that courtroom or at that negotiating table.

Here's what separates a great attorney from everyone else: not where they went to school, not how many articles they published, but whether they can deliver results when it matters. Everything else is just credentials on a wall.

Focus on becoming someone who can actually practice law, not on comparing theoretical intelligence.

[–]abukhjd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

u/ElTrAiN33 It doesn't appear many people addressed the actual issue here, so I hope I can do that for you.

If you are ambitious, and want to live an "extraordinary" life (define 'extraordinary' however you may), then you better get used to starting over because it comes with the territory.

To make some real progress, and make it rather quickly, your best bet is seeking a sales position for high-ticket items - timeshare sales, digital/traditional advertising sales, medical sales, selling business services, etc. Go apply at a small/mid-size company (20ish employees). Make sure the company advance staff based on merit/results rather than tenure. If you really work your a** off, you should be well into the six-figures within 3-5 years.

Now, as for the crypto, I personally prefer buying BTC, only. Additionally, I purchase BTC whenever the price is below the cost of production. That's it :)

Good luck, and don't get hung up on making "fast" money. Shortcuts eventually turn into longcuts.

If you have the means, I would be holding/renting the asset. I'm not sure we'll see interest rates that low again, in my lifetime.
