I'm a responsible 30-something back in school to get a law degree and definitely not a squid. This is my second bike and I've been riding for six years without ever crashing. I've put over 3000 miles on it since April 15th, including a solo ride from Seattle to San Fran and back on the scenic roads. I grew attached to my little 250 during the trip and named her "Ginny," after Ruth Ginsberg, the cautious adjudicator. I thought I knew how to ride.
I was going about two miles to help my buddy get some things in order for his wedding this weekend. All city streets <40 mph. Like it does occasionally here in Seattle, it was raining. Big deal - I've ridden more in rain than I have in sunshine.
I have to admit that I'm at a pretty low point. 1L exams start next week and I'm feeling pretty confident about them, but for some reason I'm down in a broad sense. Maybe it's just the stress piling up, but I haven't had a good smile in a week or two now. How are you folks holding up?
Sometimes at a snail's pace. I have delved into ruins not touched by the living for many years, or so it would seem. I have uncovered tombs and relics from ages past. But always I am somehow preceded. I can't help but wonder who that brave, loyal soul is that lights all the torches and brazers and candles just before I get there.
I see posts about not using FT to travel, but does anyone else not use running either? The first thing I do when I load up a save is hit caps lock. I walk 99% of the time, running only when I would actually want to run. I'll hold shift to run away from a lost battle, but I'll never run in town or for miles and miles in armor along a road.
Maybe I'm going too far, and I know most people won't like this style. Some nights I'll sit down for 30 minutes to play and the only thing I'll accomplish is that I'll almost make it from one town to another.
I've seen so much though. I check out all the detail in the terrain. I make careful decisions about what loot to haul. I don't take on every quest -
I'm sure this varies a lot by school and professor, but I'm curious to see if there's a particular class that edges out as being generally harder for 1Ls.
Personally, I'm finding Civil Procedure to be the hardest. First, the amount of work (number of cases to brief) exceeds my other classes by quite a bit. Secondly, we're studying cases that have really meaty substance, but we have to ignore that and focus on the procedural aspects.
What, to you, is the hardest class of 1L?
The egosoft forums have a ton of stuff but it can be a bit much sometimes. Just for the hell of it I searched for a subreddit and I'm excited you folks are here. I hope things can stay active.
I thought I'd share a tip while I'm at it. I bought an X52 just to use with X3, but it doesn't work straight out of the box. The problem is that the mode selector switch constantly spams button hits, which X3 takes as game input.
The symptom to look for is that it will seem like every time you touch a legit command it will go crazy with rapid button presses. For example, pushing esc to bring up the save/options menu will make it open and close a billion times in less than a second.
To fix this, you
I just got this phone and aside from my nook color I'm pretty new to Android, but I've been a linux user for years. I love it and can see there's a lot of potential.
Everything I can find tells me that the G2x has 512MB of RAM, but my phone doesn't act like it. When I run advanced task killer, it usually tells me that after killing everything nonessential I have just over 100MB of memory available. At that point, I'm running a pretty minimal setup with the default system stuff, t-mobile bloatware (I'm tempted to root just to get rid of this stuff), ATK itself, and a couple odds and ends (skype, Juice Defender, and a battery widget) that are listed as only taking up a couple of megs each. I'
I'm about 18 months into my second affair with linux, but still consider myself a rookie since there's so much to learn. I'm teaching myself as well as I can, and have been able to accomplish most of my goals with a little research. The problem I'm having though is lack of projects.
For example, I just spent most of the night (it's 5am here now) ironing out the wrinkles in a cron job to deposit date-stamped, compressed backup files into my dropbox account for maximum redundancy. Now I'm hungry. I want excuses to write more scripts and automate more tasks because I want to practice what I've learned and improve my skills, but I can't think of any.
A lot of the stuff in here is basic help w
How do I convince the US government to invade another country so I can get their easy oil instead of fucking around in the middle of the ocean?
But I don't really know any of them well enough. How can I build rapport and get good letters?
