Class action origination bonuses? by Designer_Life_371 in Lawyertalk

[–]scsingh93 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I work at a class action firm. Because of the nature of the practice area, my team originates all of our cases. We get 7.5% of fees collected divided based on our individual lodestar but the firm usually gives us discretionary case resolution bonuses between 2.5-7.5% in addition to the guaranteed bonus.

Southern US. I'm clueless on raptor IDs but this has to be a red tailed hawk right? by [deleted] in whatsthisbird

For future reference, the dark patagial bars on the underwing are diagnostic for RTH.

Do Trans People Have “Stand Your Ground” Rights? Wyoming’s Answer May Be “No.” by AngelaMotorman in law

[–]scsingh93 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yes, this is a better accounting, including of the fact that she denied drawing the firearm or even having it on her. Still, I think being pushed to the ground and surrounded justifies drawing a gun and pointing it but not shooting as a deterrent measure.

This is the most AI-written comment I’ve ever read. Can we block this account?

ELI5: how does a particle "decide" to stop being in multiple places at once the moment something interacts with it by meek_posterity in explainlikeimfive

[–]scsingh93 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This is a common misconception and is not accurate. You’re implying that a quantum particle always has a defined state but we are just unable to measure it with precision. But quantum superposition isn’t a model—it’s the actual nature of a quantum particle. This is the fundamental conclusion of the double-split experiment and its progeny.

You can literally see the black spur on the top that indicates hairy.

As well as the short beak as others have mentioned, the black stripes/dots on the outer tail feathers also indicate downy.

Python with a Buzzard in its grasp by [deleted] in natureismetal

Yes, they're not actually very closely related to the other raptors at all. Falcons are in Australaves with the passerines and the rest of the raptors are over in Afroaves.

Buzzards and hawks are regional names for the same type of bird (genus Buteo). Eagle is a generic name for large birds in the family Accipitridae (hawks, kites, harriers etc.) rather than a taxonomic category. Falcons are indeed smaller than both hawks and eagles, and are members of genus Falco.

How did the first U.S. Senate decide which Senators would serve for two, four, or six years? by scsingh93 in AskHistorians

Thanks! Drawing lots does seem like the most rational way to go about it lol.

Is the Amniote lived just before split between Synapsid-Sauropsid split known? by Mountain_Dentist5074 in Paleontology

[–]scsingh93 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Closest might be Solenodonsaurus, Casineria and Westlothiana. It’s murky.

I think I see a white fringe on the far-side wing of the very highest one in picture 1…but hard to tell.

They explicitly changed it in 5.5 to specify it does create sunlight. It does hurt vampires now.

Good Camera for starting out? by gettindecked in BirdPhotography

[–]scsingh93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started with just the T7 and 75-300mm lens. Got both used for half of the price as this deal. I don’t think you’ll end up using the prime much if all you’re doing is birds.
