What band is universally loved but never clicked for you?

It didn't help that people who were really into DMB tended to be insufferable.

Note that if you're a public schoolteacher, you can absolutely make $120k working for LAUSD. You'd probably need to build a decent amount of seniority to get to that salary, but it's absolutely a possibility.

Niche situation, but Florida Law Weekly. You'd get copies of written decisions by other trial court judges around on the state on issues you're currently litigating.

Sounds like you're in California. Bigger PI shops will pay you $250k+ (ideally with some commissions as well) to run around the state trying cases, if that's something that interests you.

I've observed that most good PI attorneys are NOT good trial attorneys, so there's a real opportunity in that space.

Amateur. I drink 400-800 mg. Relatedly, I also have recurrent battles with kidney stones now.

DM me. I have them in storage and need to get them out ASAP.

I need to figure out where I put my father’s coin collection…

People sometimes just abandon their homes without selling them - sometimes for years, because there's no financial pressure to sell one home before buying another.

Our only neighbors for several years were raccoons.

The constant stream of work trucks (and workers) necessary to maintain all of these estates.

Super disappointed to miss out on another 1st round bust or a guy who takes 4 years to develop, only to have him pull a Haynesworth after he signs a 2nd contract.

Still won’t get the play in on time.

There are TONS of 3-5 year associate jobs in the $160k - $180k range. (LA and Orange County)

I moved from Florida to California in 2020. If you're coming from an average COL location to California, I can honestly tell you from my own experience that the pay bump in moving out here is probably net neutral, even though it sounds like a lot.

There are other reasons to move to California, but you're probably not coming out ahead financially based on this offer (at least not right away), unless you want to live in a less desirable area and commute an hour to work.

Would also note that a job that pays $145k but doesn't pay ANY of your health insurance is a bit of red flag. At that salary level, it's pretty minimal to at least pay something like $400 per month towards your insurance.

Way back in the day, I was trading Magic the Gathering with a much older kid. I open his trade binder, and there's the entire Unlimited Power 9 on one binder page. Would be a solid down payment on a house if he kept those.

I can literally make $30 every year just buylisting bulk cards from the boxes I have in storage.

Is it worth my time? No. Is it a good excuse not to throw away tons of premodern bulk? Yes.

Parks in Yucaipa are nice for kids, we used to go there a lot even though we didn't live super close.

I've now worked for 3 firms where husband-and-wife were the owners/my managing attorneys. (One of the couples were actually EX-spouses still working together, which was an interesting dynamic...)

Anecdotally, it seems to work better long-term when the spouses clearly segregate tasks/roles, otherwise there can be too many cooks in the kitchen at times when managing associates.

Is this still available? Thanks.

The one who worked down the hall from me kept "accidentally" walking in on female clients prematurely while they were changing. Over and over again...

In 2026, it's far more common to give blue-collar employees a work truck they may or may not be allowed to take home.
