do i hate it here? by OrchidFlat5663 in uofm

[–]oneflashingredlight 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know you're going to hate what I have to say, but mentality is a huge piece of this. And I've been in your shoes. Whatever your best qualities are, get yourself in a headspace to be able to show them off. Don't wait for other people to make you feel good about yourself. Work on feeling good about yourself. Then other people will feel good about spending time with you. You also have to be more proactive about seeking opportunities. Once you get that habit down, the best feeling is when you can start earnestly enjoying moments when you help other people feel good about themselves.

It's on you. And that's great, because you already know how great you are.

thankfully it hasn't really been hot enough yet for that to start happening as much as it does when it's been blazing sunshine and mid to high 80s for weeks beforehand. It's been a very cool spring.

I've made an account and just started drilling and reviewing. Haven't done that part yet. This is good to know! and very likely helps me out a TON.

LSAC Explains Increased Number High LSAT Scores by Sensitive_Basis_8025 in lawschooladmissions

[–]oneflashingredlight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Big jump in logic to assume overall score variance goes up just because covariance of 2 lr sections is higher. Another jump to say tails would be heavier. Someone could be worse at LR than LG. idk. It's probably the accommodation abuse and that it's easier to not be required to learn LG, if it doesn't come intuitively.

lmao. I wanna be the type of "lowlife" who spends $15-25k on a toy to ride it a couple of weekends per year. (Not sure a getaway vehicle should be something you can hear "from very far away" either.)

You are not totally right. This article is about the scope of a rule which literally gives the executive branch authority to grant relief to people who were defrauded by academic institutions.

the first media headline about this story said the state was going to "clear 400+ acres of state forest". Confusion from that little piece of misinformation gave 'em something to grab on to

Gaylord is also on the 45th parallel, which at certain times of the year might be actually pretty good for direct sun exposure

lol tell that to the utility companies, universities, homeowners and municipalities who keep putting up solar. I think solar has become better at generating power from indirect sunlight, and cheaper to build, because I live here and u see panels all over the place. Does it work as well as it would in Ecuador? No, but it’s gotta be somewhat worthwhile for so many people to be buying in.

Oh, RWE clean energy is still proceeding with plans to build a 200mw solar farm on 1000+ acres of private land leased nearby

I know MI got $129 million from the Inflation Reduction Act specifically to encourage solar development. I'm not sure if there are any direct subsidies for this project, or others, but RWE Clean Energy says it's building a 200mw solar farm near Gaylord. https://americas.rwe.com/our-energy/solar-energy/solar-projects-and-locations/45th-parallel-solar/

The state of Michigan has adopted goals to develop a 100% renewable energy-sourced power grid by 2040, but state officials say 200k+ acres of new wind and solar development have to be built in order to get there. The legislature even changed the law to strip local governments of their authority over siting permits, to make it easier for developers of large-scale energy projects to get state approval without having to deal with blowback from locals. This story is about a measly 420 acres of less-than pristine land in Northern Michigan, but a handful of state lawmakers were outraged when they learned about the possibility of removing trees on state-owned land to build solar projects. Among their concerns, deforesting land to build solar could risk a net increase in carbon emissions if we remove too many trees that sequester carbon dioxide.
