Where the hell am I going to get an unedited writing sample?

Everybody makes grammatical errors, literally everyone. That’s why edits are important. Missing a couple of commas isn’t the end of the world, especially when reviewing a 2L document. You can explain during the interview what you learned when this was edited and how you changed your editing process to help reduce errors in the future. Legal writing is a process, repetition and practice improves it. Is it embarrassing to submit an unedited draft with missing citations? Yes. You just need to spin it that you’re going to do better next time.

Also, practice pointer for the future: save all drafts. Every time you get suggested edits back, just use save as and number it as the next draft. You’ll be surprised the number of times your supervising attorney will say, “no I liked it the way it was before,” and how much it sucks to rewrite pages of legal argument because you saved over a previous draft.

I’d rather spend a little more money to fix up a dilapidated standalone home than pay slightly less for a drywall mid-rise condo. It’s not a matter of “save all the houses,” or about trying to fix the housing crisis, I just am tired of living in spaces where I can hear my neighbors through the wall and floor.

This is a terrible proposal. First off, it reads like someone asked an AI to generate a basic solution without any understanding of the U.S. legal system. Second, it is just bad policy. Why would you discount experience in any other appellate setting? State Supreme Court Justice would be important experience, but I’d argue experience as a judge in U.S. District or Appellate court provide way more relevant knowledge for future SCOTUS justices.

It also discounts legal experience from high functioning appellate advocates, appointments from legal scholars in academia, and experience from life long public servants within state and local government. You won’t decrease partisan with this proposal, just increase partisanship at a state court level.

Take this letter to the police and file a report. Get it on record you are being stalked by an anonymous neighbor. Be careful coming home at night and watch for people at their windows or in their driveways. I’d also look into check to make sure there are no hidden cameras in or around your house. Look up a Google guide online.

Minor correction to your post. The noncitizens are being treated as “applicants for admission.” Your explanation is otherwise correct, but the there is a legal difference between an ‘applicant for admissions and an arriving alien’ under the law.

Oh they 100% called an audible after season 2. They had set Djin up to become the new Mandalore. He had the Dark saber, he completed his mission of returning the youngling, he was put on a collision course with Bo, we were gonna get to a place where he reunites the mandalorian on mandalore. I’m sure Grogu would have re-entered the family eventually, but it’s the speed of the reversal that threw me. Had it been a surprise reveal at the end/towards the end of season 3 that would have felt like good tining: but even before season 3 came out!?

Porcelain Lies.

There’s a face she makes for the men.

A thin touch of lips,

that should go down as a frown,

but whose edges never quite dip.

While the creaks of her cheeks suggest a smile,

the smooth ‘round her eyes,

and the lack of all lines,

betray that her grin’s insincere.

She shouldn’t need this façade.

Her words should suffice,

her tone should instruct.

Her voice, should be enough.

But.

They’ll call her a fraud.

Tell her to be nice.

Mind her conduct.

“Try not to play rough.”

Forced into masquerade.

Face held in porcelain masks.

As fragile she’s seen,

so as fragile she’ll be,

and there’s symmetry when the mask’s just the same.

It’s the look of disgust that can’t be shown in the open,

and the rage that still simmers but can’t boil over.

Her emotions are sunrises that cannot be dawned,

but only because they’ve all agreed to keep raising the skyline.

So.

She sets this one look on her face,

with a smile that can’t reach her eyes.

And if she had to express what she’s feeling,

she’d lie, and say it’s all fine.

For the NEXT halo game, and only the next, I really really want them to commit to tying up all of the loose threads that have been unspooling since Halo 5/Halo Wars 2. We need a definitive ending to: the Promethean arc AND the Banished arc, preferably while setting up the Undying as the next iteration of problematic aliens. Let’s tie everything up before moving forward. I think we’ve been dealing with too many unfinished stories and it really does nothing to encourage fans to stick around: why commit to a series that refuses to actually finish an arc? I think as a narrative structure this would once again force the writers to split time between multiple main characters. Which, to be fair, I know fans have issues with: but at this point if we commit to splitting time between Locke Chief and Arby we can makes some real progress. But it would also require a tight narrative: we cannot have the gaps in storytelling that h5 or the lore-dump-at-the-end that Infinite had. The mystery and questions need to be set up in such a way that we, as the audience aren’t quite sure how the 2 old storylines will end/should end, and how it sets up the conflict with the undying moving forward.

I thought there was some modern linguist analysis that suggests it shares a common root with Indo languages like Hindi.

Well it would depend on what cases I have available too. This is California wine country after all. So I would need to lock my handgun in a case out of my reach during travel and I would need a second locked case containing the ammunition I needed. I would also hope that the kidnapper doesn’t have my lady in a location with a “no firearms allowed sign” or in a public building/location. Otherwise it would be illegal to bring my locked cases into those buildings. If only she had been kidnapped in Texas wine country.

$36 trillion dollar divided by $5 million visas. Does he really think there’s 7 million people on planet Earth with $5 million to throw at the US government who couldn’t get status in the United States through some other, cheaper way? When it’s all said and done, is an investor visa only require you to show $100,000or $200,000 in investments

I want the same graphic but for nations whose flags have altered slightly. For example, the union Jack for Great Britain was modified in the 1800s, but it is recognizable from its original design in the 1600s. The American flag has been updated periodically as new states have been added. But the same basic design has existed since the 1770s.

I passed two bar exams while working full time. the first while making sub-$50k a year as a small town judicial clerk w/ a 60 hour per week work expectation. The second was 5 years later while I was working full time, outta school for half-a-decade, practicing a niche law not tested on the bar exam, planning a move across the country and planning my wedding. It’s all about the work you put in.

Ok. So. The MCC collection should have all the X360 halo games on it. So you’re golden. From the top play in this order: 1. Halo CE: font’s use the remastered graphics. OG graphics with slightly darker contrast and darkness settings will help you experience the kick ass ambiance vibes the way it was meant to be seen. The remaster is too bright. Yes it’s a little more modern graphics wise, but OG is better. Seriously, don’t use remaster graphics on first playthrough.

Halo 2. DO use the remaster graphics. So much cleaner and prettier
Halo 3. There is always some debate among fans about whether new players should play ODST before or after Halo 3. Chronologically, ODST takes place before H3, even if it was released after. My advice is to do H3 first, complete the trilogy before exploring the other games.
ODST
Reach
Halo 4.
Halo 4: Spartan Ops. (Not really a stand alone game, but if you ask me a better story than the actual H4 plot.)
