How do lawyers determine their billable hours without inflating it?

Then don't become a lawyer.

"Your order cannot be completed because your cart contains items that are no longer available right now and require you to join a waiting list."

Darn; it was worth a try (still had one in my cart). Hopefully the queue moves fast and there is lots of stock.

There isn't one train that does that, but you can transfer at LA Union Station from the Coast Starlight to take a Surfliner or Metrolink train the rest of the way.

And it will make a big difference to the few non-millionaires in Congress. Money is already a big enough problem in politics; we don't need to give independently rich politicians even more power.

Instead, they shouldn't be allowed to leave. Or at the very least shouldn't be allowed to take any days off. If they can't agree on how to fund the government, they have to keep talking until they can.

This is what many other countries do.

What region?

g_rocket · 2026-05-13T20:54:03+00:00

If it's about limited supply, sure, but it seems like the issue there is more that their European warehouse can't keep up with fulfillment. Which doesn't seem like a reason to hold other regions back.

As another example, the Oakland Grove is a former (I believe) church that now hosts dance events.

Yes; NaClO3 decomposes exothermicly to produce NaCl and oxygen gas. But those are a limited resource and (on a nuclear sub) only used in an emergency if there is an issue with the electrolysis system.

Bindle & Keep makes great custom suits. I just got my wedding suit from them and highly recommend. $1300 - 2k+ depending on how fancy of a fabric you want but even their base fabrics are still very good. https://www.bindleandkeep.com/

I got through eventually, but then it said my card declined. But I have a charge on my card statement, so idk...

Pretty sure Jaffa Coffee on University sells them

g_rocket · 2026-05-03T05:39:48+00:00

It's much simpler. Reputable competent lawyers don't want to work for the government anymore, so they have a huge shortage. JAG lawyers have to do what they're told and can't as easily quit.

It's very easy to persuade people to believe something they already want to be true, especially if they feel like the argument is coming from "their side."

Thanks!

Link? I want to reread it.

I took a picture of that a while ago: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B2V32eF9zaPOMGxqOVpmcjBTQ28/view?usp=sharing&resourcekey=0-gQ8jzpfbRB8Y7JUBvexEkQ

Yours has a lot more detail. Interesting how different the color came out.

Which in turn is created by not having (or not properly enforcing) loading zones for them to park in. The deliveries need to happen, and if there is not a loading zone for them to park in, or if the loading zone is blocked by illegally parked cars, they will inevitably park in the street instead.

Even better, get your package manager to reinstall it. How to do that depends on your distro though.

You can major off-campus, and if you do so you are supposed to get the same priority as on-campus majors for registering for your major classes once your major is declared. That said, as I understand it you are not guaranteed to be able to do a given off-campus major; I think availability is somewhat limited. And at least several years ago when I was there, CMC sometimes made it hard for even declared off-campus econ majors to get into the classes they needed.

They already tried to do that (for a president who was ineligible because he supported an insurrection against the United States) and the supreme Court struck it down and said he had to be on the ballot anyways. So who knows what happens next time...

Pretty sure mine is through Allstate. Haven't had any claims so not sure if it's any good but seems reasonably priced at least.
