If there's a routing trick it must be pretty simple and themis has got to get on that. I'm starting to question my going with the low budget option.

It is very simple. However, I don't think they get that. I was advised to use my iPhone app--which would be a great option EXCEPT for the fact that I can't speed up the lectures. So now when I click on a lecture I say a little prayer for it.

Haha you're not alone. I was doing K MQs today and every time I clicked submit for the wrong answer I stated the right one out loud. After the 9th question I gave up and cleaned the kitchen.

Exactly. It makes no sense. Like I said yesterday, there's a good chance the issue stems from the fact that many students are now watching these videos and the server is overloaded.

Well we can't rightly expect them to be prepared for that.

I don't want to jinx myself, but I'm not having any issues with the videos. Besides civ pro being the most boring thing ever, IMO. I'm using Starbucks wifi, if that makes a difference.

I'm using Starbucks wifi as well.

Great news. And yeah, I couldn't stand how the evidence guy refused to just read the handout. He had to change everything around. This isn't a public-speaking class, just read the fucking paper.

I'm surprised he hasn't done more lectures.

I'm almost there...if I could only get these lectures to play or speed up, that would be nice.

Nebby wrote:Did anyone else learn in law school that you can't adversely possess land of another if neither the possessor nor true owner know that the possession is adverse? Like, I thought the hostility requirement meant that at least someone had to know. I just missed a question where adverse possession had occurred, but literally no one in the fact pattern knew about it. Fuck me, I guess

I learned actual hostility is the test, not knowledge of the hostility.

No video issues on my part today. When I was in NYC over the weekend I was having some issues on two separate occasions

OK, but for real, can we discuss this? I understand this is probably some "best answer" and "you have to pick something" MBE magical thinking BS, but wtf?

I got that one wrong too
