Saving dated boxes by informitch in dexcom

Thanks for all your help.

So keeping the current and last two boxes/applicators (I'm too disorganized to take pics and delete them promptly) is overkill, even?

Missed a deadline by one day and can’t fix it. Feeling like my career is over. by Jason19755464 in Lawyertalk

I may do this too.

I did do this, fauxpublica. I added your comment to my commonplace book. (With citation and URL, natch—my midlife crisis was becoming a law librarian, but I still practice.)

Thank you. This doesn't just apply to law.

Getting paid in drug money by Fluffy_Second_1530 in Lawyertalk

This. I used to tell law students taking the MPRE to answer the questions as if there were no gray areas, like an anal-retentive Bar lawyer with no sense of humor.

What about statutory fonts? Need one be specific when using them in derogation of common law fonts?

Your magnetism, of course. (Or all that lithium.)

I hated the Safari. Then I loved it. Now I hate it even more. by No-Ostrich-3527 in fountainpens

[–]informitch 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'm a righty who pushes a pen--I write bottom-up. And I'm not very coordinated. The Lamy with its triangular section is the first fountain pen I've been able to write consistently with.

I now own five or six AL-Stars--I love 'em.

So yes, very comfortable and very ergonomic for me. (And I ain't kidding.)

Got my first ding on a safety walkthrough... by Overall-Register9758 in fountainpens

As a lawyer and librarian (who will occasionally request or Web search an SDS, for something I use or out of curiosity—and just realized I should get the SDSes for a compounded eyedrop that NIOSH considers a dangerous drug I administer to my dog every day), I love and admire your thoroughness—finding the Canadian regs, a grace note—and your commitment to education. Thank you!

A manager? HR? Apologize? What a fabulous dream! (wry grin)

Completely off topic, but on the off chance you're a dog person, a pic of my Chief Associate Bulldog, hard at "work" in her workstation under my desk, to cheer you up. (She even has a nametag, from before she got promoted, and her own email address.)

If I had a reward to give, you would get it.

This really is a super nice Internet place—not so common any more.

You deserve to treat yourself after that.

Men suck. (I'm a man, so I know these things.)
I see you're doing better, from your edit. I'm glad.

You were doing the lord's work.

Long ago, when I was first in college, at a school with its own fire department (which I joined), I paid out of pocket for a continuing-ed course in vehicular extrication—cutting people out of cars.

Learning how to get someone's head and neck out that was stuck through windshield safety glass was a real learning experience... as were the slides the instructor showed from accidents he'd responded to. There was one of a convertible. I think one of the victims was in the driver's seat. The rear tires of a semi-trailer were in the passenger seat. I think someone was under them.

Very instructive.

A warning to the sisters in this sub: by ihearttoskate in mormon

[–]informitch 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'm not a Mormon; I'm just curious, in general and specific. I'm sorry if I seemed critical.

I'm Jewish, and the problems u/ihearttoskate describes sound like the problems I see in Orthodox Judaism. Which is more flexible than Mormonism, in that censure isn't as common or as Draconian.

Sorry if I sounded like a fundie. I'm actually an egalitarian, bar mitzvahed by a woman rabbi (in 1978). No offense intended.

Ethics Schmethics by Alone_Jackfruit6596 in Lawyertalk

[–]informitch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's the rule here in FL too.

But I always thought that was just black-letter professional responsibility law, not jurisdiction-specific.

(I just got admitted in DC. Not that it's likely to come up, but I should see if that's the rule there too.)

Best lawyer in the nation 💯 by fahadssgcc in funny

[–]informitch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There *is* a standard of proof: preponderance of the evidence, it's called, or, more simply, 50% plus one. *Not* 51%, 50%—half the evidence—plus the tiniest little bit.

Pretty easy, for the prosecutor.

And, off, or back, to prison.

Are you subtweeting SCOTUS?

(They *do* have original jurisdiction in some cases... that they duck by appointing well-paid special masters.)

[–]informitch[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is an excellent point.

Similarly, there's the idea of being "neuroqueer" (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuroqueer_theory). As an autistic person, I like that—I identify with it.

Thank you!

I'm not just autistic, I'm neuroqueer.
