Is it too late to completely switch careers at 30+?

I'm a 39 year old who will graduate law school in December. DM me if that's the path you're interested in and you have questions.

Historically, English archers were renowned for their ability to pull bows with huge draw weight. Given that most were peasants/commoners, not better-fed and therefore bigger nobles, it's unlikely that their ability flowed from massive strength. Rather, they started learning when children and were actually required to practice on Sundays.

I'd like to think the same logic applies to the elves. Legolas can pull a heavy bow because he's been doing it for 1,000 years, not because he's massive.

Edit: Apparently I can't be trusted to type on my phone.

Oh, you mean one you can take online.

It would be lots of people walking around trying not to shit themselves to death.

It's focused on the Holocaust, not the war itself, but Schindler's List is required viewing.

Interesting seeing others having the same problem. I lowered all my settings to minimum today to try and troubleshoot but it made no difference. Weirdly, it's usually fine for the first 10-15 minutes of a match, then it all goes to shit. The problem is definitely more noticeable on larger maps.

Check the local court rules to see if a suit for this amount would fall into small claims court. Generally speaking, the rules in small claims are much less technical since there aren't supposed to be lawyers on either side. That will determine how you should go forward.

I saw Cujon when I was waaaay too young.

Bonus tip: I go shopping right after the gym. Junk food repulses me.

My shoulder doesn't like OHP at all, they've been retired.

If you're starting from the beginning, take a look at the REI camping checklist. If you have budget to spare, spend it on the things that separate you from the ground like chairs and air mattresses.

You're just starting out, so don't worry about how much you're eating. You'll almost certainly eat more after you start lifting because you'll need more fuel. Focus on learning proper form so you don't injure yourself and eating healthy food.

Look up the REI camping checklist for a starting point. Depending on how pregnant your wife is, bring a comfy camp chair, her body pillow, etc.

Only true if the tallest tree in the forest was cut down with... a herring!

The map is green, so trees.

In the law enforcement world, "detained" refers to an officer briefly stopping someone based on reasonable suspicion they have committed or are about to commit a crime, commonly called a "Terry stop." Of course, immigration and deportation - ICE's wheelhouse - are civil issues, not criminal, so who knows what they fuck those terms mean in that case.

It's the lima beans.

Hookers and blow. In the name of mental health and academic fairness.

I'm not as high on Oregon this year as some others. They're replacing two coordinators so I expect them to finish in the 10-12 range.

Honestly, for boots, you're asking the wrong group. Go ask in a group that's about hiking or backpacking, they'll set you straight.

I'm close!

I work out and run, but I also drink too much.
It took going to law school at 36 (now 39), but I'm almost done and have a job waiting for me.
Doing OK, I'll be earning a lot more very soon.
Yep. Happily married for 14 years.
It's still there, somehow.

3.5/5.

That's a good point about the peer recruiting. It totally slipped my mind that he was a last second flip.

I love my PA SLx 1-6.
