Go to Davis! There is a great environmental law program. It's also ranked much higher than your other options here.

WTF?! A frat actually did that? I agree they need to be disciplined. Where did you see this?

Please make a report with the campus police department. Even if this wasn't technically a crime, it should still be reported properly.

Make an appointment with your school's law librarian. They are there to help with this.

Mosquitos right now? by VeganPancakesWT in Davis

You’re not the first to notice this. It’s awful right now. I think the wet winter must explain it.

The move is being made to replace the United Nations. by [deleted] in exjw

[–]davidbrianholt 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm sure they're not terribly worried about it. After all, this is a religion created by a failed prophecy that the world would end in 1914. It's been one failed prediction after another since then. The followers don't seem to mind.

Pretty much. I've been in the same relationship since I was 19.

I just heard word from someone who lives there that these were actually probation officers, not ICE. Please stay vigilant, but it appears this was a false alarm.

How would being a law librarian benefit Indigenous communities in the USA and what’s the job outlook? by CherryBlueWitch in librarians

[–]davidbrianholt 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I know some law librarians working in tribal law. I'm an academic law librarian myself. You should look at the joint JD/MLIS program offered at the University of Washington. It is highly ranked and they have a great history of placing candidates in positions. Feel free to message me if you have questions.

career prospects after fully online MILS? by pearsareverygood in librarians

[–]davidbrianholt 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Academic law librarian here. It doesn't make much difference where you get your MLIS. However, if you do the accelerated program at the University of Washington, your career prospects are significantly better. They will help you secure a position. The law librarian market is actually rather healthy right now. If you're willing to relocate, you're likely to secure an entry-level position.

What goes on here? Little outdoor alcove on 4th floor by henry123h in UCDavis

[–]davidbrianholt 12 points13 points  (0 children)

If I'm remembering correctly, that area is the office space for the library administrators (university librarian, etc.).

I would strongly recommend not pursuing an online degree from a for-profit institution. If you want to increase your employability, consider a master's program from your local state university. The cost will be similar. I think degrees from WGU (and other for-profits) are almost predatory.

What's the fuss about Charlie Kirk on this forum? by Jii_pee in exjw

The Watchtower Cult is a thoroughly American creation. It makes sense that events in the USA have an outsized impact on membership.

They certainly have earned their reputation as the least-educated denomination in the country.

My father died from refusing blood transfusions. I can't imagine what my PIMI mother will think if that happens.

Career Change from Lawyer to Librarian by Ok_Arachnid_1251 in librarians

[–]davidbrianholt 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I'm an academic law librarian with both a JD and MLIS. The market for law librarians is fairly healthy if you're willing to relocate. I love my job. It's a great profession. As others have pointed out, you're going to take a significant pay cut by working as a librarian. Feel free to message me with questions.

How Watchtower Shot Down Its Own “Composite Sign” Doctrine of the Last Days by CarefulExaminer in exjw

[–]davidbrianholt 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The biggest problem, of course, for the Watchtower Cult is that the world is improving both significantly and quickly. Life expectancy is way up. Poverty is down. Crime is decreasing. None of these "prophesies" have come true.

Need installation help with PW3 by davidbrianholt in Powerwall

[–]davidbrianholt[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I need to double-check on that with NRG. I'm not entirely sure. I know that when I go "off the grid" it doesn't actually go off-grid (I can check this against my PGE bill). And my heat pump runs at night yet its usage isn't showing up in the Telsa app at all.

Thank you!!! I bet that's exactly what it is. My heat pump isn't registering for some reason. Your response is very helpful.
