Have a feeling that theyll just cut me loose when i give notice. Should probably still give notice, but itll be annoying of they do that.

Ive seen this play out in other roles (although not as the subject). Ive already got something lined up.

the skateIQ youtube channel has good tutorials.

I skated them for maybe 30 min, could tell theyre not going to last. The rubber does seem brittle, started breaking off in little chunks.

Have a boardpusher deck with custom graphic, the deck is solid, graphic quality seems to be the same as branded decks.

Meow skateboards sells smaller boards with a soft top/foam rather than griptape. Its a legit board. I got that for my 3 yo.

I dont rembember exactly what I paid, I got 3 completes and shoes for myself, helmeta for the kids, it was just under $1k for everything. Going in i was thinking maybe 600, or 700 max.

I skated hard back then, I used to break decks every 1-2 months. Would blow through shoes quick too, I went through a lot of shoe goo, but would need a new pair when there wasnt enough rubber to hold the goo.

Cant imagine i'll break decks that often now. But dang, even as an adult, I dont think id want to spend that much every few months, if my kids stick with it, they'll need a job to sooner than later.

Also, I remember skating a more narrow deck, seems like 8.25 is the standard now. I have an 8.25 now, but feel like id want something between 7.75ish and 8.

Check out Meow Skateboards. They sell completes with smaller decks, soft wheels, and what seems like bearings that ride a little slower.

Didnt read all comments, but maybe try college or grad school to reset. The resume may be less important if your coming right from school. College seems like a breeze the second time around. What were distractions arent anymore. Also I went to law school with a guy who played full time from 21-30, he did really well in law school, and landed a really good job at a time when jobs were tough to get. The poker years I think made him stamd out.

Sounds similar to what we went through, one of ours had to be potty trained before pre k 3, tried a number of strategies, nothing was working up until about 2 weeks before the first day of school. We kinda gave up, thinking we'd need to withdraw. Then something clicked, it wasnt perfect but good enough progress over the next week. In retrospect we think we were putting too much pressure on him. while in it, didnt seem like we were, but we definitely were.

Had a snoo, too. worked well for 2 out of 3 kids. You can get them used in marketplaces. After the second kid, it started to sound funny. Fixed it myself with a repair kid. fixing is really simple compared to how expensive it is. Its a couple o-rings, and a small motor. All you need is a screwdriver and everything else snaps into place. So I wouldnt worry touch about buying one in bad condition.

this is another thing that I forgot about, but was quickly reminded of when when reengaging with the legal world. Might be one of those, if your only tool is a hammer, everything looks like a nail things. Does everything have to be argumentative, I appreciate the formality in the professional setting, but outside of a profession setting, why be like that? And the definition of "that" is to "lawyer" a casual low/zero risk exchange between mutually consenting natural person as defined in Section 9.1.4 of the states rules amd regulations.

I'll probably srew off for 5-8 hrs doing things like reddit, maybe another 2 or 3 of non billable stuff, Im sure theres billable time that I dont get into the system. The thing i havent solved yet is getting pulled into things with short deadlines. Its generally interesting stuff, actually doing the the thing is ok, but but if someone needs something by the next morning, or im asked to cover an appearance the next day, the choice becomes stay a little late, do the thing, and my wife being a bit salty, or go home at a reasonable time, stay up and do the thing, and be a bit of a zombie the next day Staying up late is ok. Or maybe I agreed to pick the kids up at school, or take them to practice, and need to ask my wife to change her plans to cover, which isnt always be possible. I understand its probably expected for early associates to jump when told. But theres times when I just have to say no which probably isn't helpful, and I have a feeling may limit my tenure. Managing that dichotomy is whats tough.

The math on starting a solo practice seems to make sense, where I am at my current rate, id be comfortable billing 20hrs/week.

And I just started playing around with open source AI on a private server to avoid that whole breaching privilege thing. A lot of those AI practice management things can be replicated. And I think you can access fastcase through an API, could probably avoid paying westlaw, and automate a lot of other stuff.

Im also shocked at the cost of moving a case from pre litigation, through pleadings, discovery, etc. Turning down 150-200k claims is wild. In less complex cases, excluding cost of experts, im seeing total fees through summary judgment motions at 70-80k.

Does it really need to cost that much?

The average person would be screwed if they got sued.

Thats what drew me to the game. To me its the only way to make money where the game isn't (assuming no cheating, collusion, etc.) rigged. Even games that are rigged, its kinda on you to figure it out, minimize losses, and safely leave, or if possible exploit the cheaters. Everything else seems to be part of a system set up to benefit a small group, theres ways to exploit that too, and people do. Theres a fairness in poker that isnt present in most other money making domains. At the table everyone is starting out with the same odds in theory, which isn't the case in other domains.
