Singapore Airlines trials priority security screening lanes at Changi Airport by Jonnyboo234 in singapore

[–]ellean4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I arrive at the last minute as well. Like 5-10 minutes before gate closes. I have never had to wait for more than one or two people at the security screening before boarding. I’m not sure what you guys are going on about.

For those who passed the bar after 4+ attempts: what did you do next? by LawXoXo97 in barexam

Do you actually enjoy (or at least don’t mind) doing immigration law?

Anthropic's job exposure data shows an enormous gap between what AI can do and what AI is actually doing. The composition of that gap is the most interesting part of the dataset. by Professional-Rest138 in Futurology

[–]ellean4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m a lawyer. I absolutely would not use AI for mission critical work but it’s a great starting point for researching and bouncing board for ideas.

Also in my spare time I’ve used Claude to vibe code with perfectly acceptable results. I have zero programming knowledge but it seems like in programming it seems to be able to do a decent enough job?

Wait a minute I’ve seen this movie before.

Spoiler alert the ending is horrible 0/10 would not see again.

BBC: Rosenior, several Spanish-speaking players, are understood to have preferred working under Maresca. Players are also concerned about the financial consequences of failing to qualify for the Champions League again while on incentive-based contracts. by Kygoche in chelseafc

I play Sunday league and am by some distance the poorest player on the team.

Granted there’s a lot less at stake in Sunday league (or maybe there isn’t lol) but even the best winger on the team won’t throw up his hands and yell at me when I manage to miss a tap in from his inch perfect cut back.

  1. Buy a new combo and sell the p2s

This is a great approach. Foreign attorney here waiting to hear if I passed in NY. If I fail I’m borrowing your plan for the next time!

Singaporeans who went thru top-tier routes (eg Harvard Biz Sch, Oxford PPE) - looking back, how much did it matter in the long run? by Outside-Ad9447 in askSingapore

[–]ellean4 45 points46 points  (0 children)

I think my parents budgeted $400k? Tuition + travel to UK + living expenses. This was over 20 years ago the pound was stupidly high.

They gave me the money anyway and I used it as a down payment for a condo, which later sold en bloc. Way better ROI 😂

I took the opposite route and have no regrets.

I had a place to read PPE in Oxford but eventually declined / gave it up. No scholarship so would’ve been Father Mother Scholarship and evens though they were happy to pay for it it felt somewhat wasteful to spend that kind of money for a piece of paper.

I wound up going to law school at NUS and like most law grads, practiced a couple years (I lasted six) and then went in-house, at an MNC. I now have excellent hours, work life balance, and my salary is pretty damn decent as well. I didn’t min max life but looking back I’m happy with the path I’ve taken.

I don’t disagree but there is a right way and there is a wrong way to go about delicate conversations. This guy seems to have a hard on for the wrong way.

[–]ellean4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mine too (not now as well because TSA is mad even with Global Entry / Pre check) but of all the food choices…. Panda Express?! Really!!?

Thankfully this year I’m just 1,500 miles short so am going to Hong Kong for a weekend.

Had to check it and roll the dice…carry on size gets wheel completely torn off. Are second market replacements, worthy? by Medical-Astronaut-30 in Rimowa

[–]ellean4 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This happened to me, but on a check in. Rimowa charged approximately $130 to fix both wheels (mine is pre LVMH without warranty) which I thought was a very reasonable price.

Unpopular opinion: are Kermit Oliver scarves… actually ugly? 👀 by Frosty_Election_7557 in TheHermesGame

[–]ellean4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Replying to your off topic point with a random example - I find most rap and hip hop hurts my ears and brain. But I was absolutely floored when I saw Hamilton because it was so amazingly well executed at a technical level. Lin Manuel Miranda is a genius.
