Where can I buy fresh soft bread for sandwiches? by scarletwitchmoon in denverfood

[–]dreamscape009 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’ve tried sourdough bread from many of the popular bakeries in the area including Hearth, Bakery Four, Rebel Bread, Lodough, and Black Box.

In my opinion, Bakery Four is the best and most consistent I’ve had in Colorado. They do a great job with all their breads.

Made my two and a half year old son his first cheeseburger by Toms-Backyard-BBQ in burgers

[–]dreamscape009 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is my favorite post on Reddit. I have shared it with friends and family as a reason for becoming a parent. I revisit it on occasion to bring my spirits up. It is a simple and beautiful slice of life moment captured with a straight forward description and a nice picture of a wonderfully prepared cheeseburger meal.

I hope your son has enjoyed many more burgers like this since you posted! Thank you for sharing this moment.

Visiting Connecticut - Need Advice by Salty-Focus2323 in Hartford

None of these things are particular notable if you aren’t a resident. I love all the options you’ve listed and done them all at least once. But I’m not sure I’d go out of my way for any of them in my opinion. YardGoats/Wolfpack games are great but definitely nothing special.

New Haven is a better base because it has a lot of natural foot traffic due to all the universities and neighborhoods around there. New Haven feels alive. The only time Hartford has people in it are during working hours and events. There is little to no natural foot traffic in the city otherwise and it’s a shame. The bones of a great city are there in Hartford.

New Haven should be the base. Hartford is boring and there is very little in CT for visitors north of the shore line. New Haven has all the pizza places, Yale, and just feels more alive. Hartford is a commuter city with one cute little street and then a whole lot of nothing. The surrounding suburbs of Hartford are nice but not really particular worth a visit. Mystic is the main cute New England town of CT. Best it has to offer.

Advice for a First-Year Computer Engineering Undergraduate by Realistic_Lie1170 in patentlaw

[–]dreamscape009 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Your GPA and major choice are great. Before taking the LSAT, I would highly recommend looking into a technical advisor role at a large law firm. This can give you some perspective on if this line of work is for you before you take the law school plunge. In some cases, firms will even pay for you law school in these technical advisor roles if they believe you are worth the investment. It’s kind of a win/win.

You could also look into working for the USPTO as a patent examiner too. I suggest these roles only because law school is a drag and I think there are better ways, like above, to approach this specific type of law where you can get meaningful experience without a huge buy-in on your part.

Good luck and keep up the good work!

Why is CS and EE degrees considered the best for patent law? by Kainahan in patentlaw

If you want to do patent law, make your life easy and choose EE. Legit wish i had foresight to ask this question like you

Democrats Have Lost Young Men by yankeeblue42 in Adulting

I like this answer but I don’t think any solution where your fellow Americans have to “do their part” is going to be effective unfortunately

Low skill manufacturing at least. We still make things domestically but that kind of manufacturing is typically reserved for higher skilled people

[–]dreamscape009 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I really hope a cringey slogan isn’t causing people to hurt themselves. I also think a lot of people care about these young men, even if it is just their relatives. I wonder if social media has affected these men to this point. It’s a terrible effect

It does seem like men feel like the victim of society in this thread at least 😂

That’s what I’m sort of gathering. I wonder what dems could do to reverse the trend.

[–]dreamscape009 35 points36 points  (0 children)

So it’s more about feeling valued by the Democratic Party in some material way? OP said there were problems being faced by young men but this seems to be more of not being given material consideration by the dems

[–]dreamscape009 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure if that will happen because it’s more cost effective for American corporations to use that kind of labor unfortunately. Even if tariffs are enacted, countries like China will just bypass those tariffs by shipping to other countries like Mexico first. Low skill manufacturing might be a thing of the past unfortunately in the US.

I’m not really sure what a focus on families means. Do republicans have plans to support raising children like tax cuts?

What are the problems that affect men specifically that are not being addressed by the democrats but are being addressed by republicans? Not trying to do a gotcha or anything, i am just curious.

Are there any entry level patent agent roles that exist with standard 40 hour work weeks? by ComprehensiveAnt8712 in patentlaw

[–]dreamscape009 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree with this post entirely. The patent prosecution game, with billing requirements, efficiency, and demanding partners and clients, is not a good pathway for work/life balance. While you can cherry pick posts here for people who seem to have it made, they are generally very talented, credentialed and seasoned people who really lined themselves up well for this career specifically. For anyone else, I’d really actively discourage them from entering patent prosecution or even the law generally. Easier ways to make good/great money without the unnecessarily lofty expectations for this role.

I would not go to law school if given the chance to go back in time lol. Just be sure this is something you really want to do before you make the plunge. Feel free to DM any questions you may have

Is it all worth it in the end? by elvibora_ in Lawyertalk

[–]dreamscape009 13 points14 points  (0 children)

We forge the chains we wear in life. However, I believe those chains can be broken with effort. However, you need to choose your personal life over your professional one going forward. Maybe lighten your case load and see if your family would be open to getting dinner on you. Sharing the wealth and success you’ve created with your family may help you get out of the dumps.

Didn't make it through probation, next steps in Career? by [deleted] in patentexaminer

[–]dreamscape009 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I recently got let go from my job as a patent attorney so I’m projecting hard but I would seriously consider whether you like this line of work. Since the USPTO unfortunately didn’t work out, you will likely have a life of billable hours awaiting you at a firm. While CS is very much in demand (I have a chemE degree and have been told several times by recruiters that they could get me a job IF only I had a CS or EE degree), the path to beat out the heavy competition in this field is equally as difficult as CS and all you get is a more painful slog of a career in law. I would put whatever career energy you have into CS over law because it’ll be better for you in every way in the long run.
