Chunks, because they are less messy. But kids seem to prefer wedges. Plus wedges are less work to make.

If it’s just me alone in my house the correct approach is to halve the watermelon and use a spoon.

Instead of “recommending” a substantive explanatory parenthetical when the cited authority isn’t otherwise clear to the reader, Bluebook 22 now “requires” the parenthetical in Whitepages Rule 1.5(a).

(No change to Bluepage/practitioner rules! But RIP journal article word counts…)

Fair point 😂😂

My aunt said that her friend raised one from a caterpillar and it grew to be 18 inches across!

This huge imperial moth was hanging out on the wall outside my office this morning. Those are standard sized bricks!

I love this 😂

Thank you for the shout out!

I feel seen. North Carolina is just big bites from here until November, with the occasional copperhead scare and a lot of sweating.

I’m also thinking of these signals in the practical usage context and how bringing over the law review complexity to briefs etc often isn’t helpful - different purposes and audiences, different use of sources etc.

And in a footnote! Agree as always with David.

The compare (and now contrast) signals seem like unnecessary complications bc you can write the same sentence without italicizing the signal and it still works. But maybe now invites a bit more explanation for the reader about the sources.

Late to all this, but why must we do this in the citations. Why? WHY? Just compare and contrast in regular sentences.

The sickest of burns, Jack!

Mistaking the cite for a multiplication problem?

Yikes

The number of times I have exclaimed “ooh!” in genuine surprised excitement upon getting an email from the person I watched send me that email 0.004 seconds earlier 🤦🏻‍♀️

I’m impressed you were able to save this for step 3!

Haha no worries :)

I am trying to be back online but it’s going sporadically at best.

I like this one best for readability—like you wouldn’t have to learn any new signals to understand the point. Could use (of many) for fewer characters.
