A quick definition of battle of the forms:

Battle of the Forms: When two parties are negotiating a contract, they may use standard forms with different terms. This can cause a conflict, known as the "battle of the forms." The Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) attempted to resolve this conflict by allowing a contract to be created even if the acceptance contains different or additional terms. This can make it difficult to determine which terms will be included in the final contract.

A more thorough explanation:

Battle of the forms is a conflict that arises during contract negotiations between a buyer and a seller. It occurs when both parties exchange standard forms that contain different or additional terms. The conflict arises because each party wants the contract to be on terms of their choosing.

For example, a buyer may send a purchase order to a seller that includes their terms and conditions. The seller may then send an order confirmation that includes their own terms and conditions. If the terms and conditions of both parties conflict, a battle of the forms arises.

The Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) attempted to resolve battles of the forms by abandoning the common-law requirement of mirror-image acceptance. This means that a definite expression of acceptance may create a contract for the sale of goods even though it contains different or additional terms.

Overall, the battle of the forms can be a complex issue that requires careful consideration of the terms and conditions of both parties.

Quentin Tarantino is interested in watching somebody’s ear getting cut off; David Lynch is interested in the ear.
18:03
Quentin Tarantino can't resist putting a gay scene with a black guy participating in the gay act in his movies.
18:05
David Lynch is just gay.
18:18
Lynch is more in touch with his unconscious/dream state than the average person
18:42
Probably. I just dont know. All I know is he did a good job with Dune.
18:45
You should watch Blue Velvet

How’s your LSAT studying been going?
18:49
It is good. I have about two more weeks and I broke the 90 level on LSAT Demon which is good last night. My goal is 95 so I can probably get it before I test. It is scaled our of 100. This is for LR. My RC is below that but I know the more I get better at MBT questions the better my RC becomes.

I watched the trailer for that movie. The run time is 2 hours. May watch it on 2x the speed. Just watched se7en and thats like as graphic as I get so I kinda need a break from weird bodyhorror stuff. The sloth guy in that movie scared me.
18:51
I do like psychological horror though.
18:53
Oh jesus don’t watch the movie at all if you’re gonna watch it on 2x speed
18:54
I have never used lsat demon; how do their levels relate to actual lsat scoring?
18:56
kinda go in 20 point intervals. 20 points if you have mastered lvl 1 difficulty questions, 100 points if you have mastered lvl 5.
18:56
Getting 100 points is incredibly difficult though. anything baout 95 is pushing the 175-180 range. 90-95 is like 170-174 or so. etc.
18:56
yeah but if you’re getting a 95 on all sections what LSAT score is that? how is that calculated?
18:56
oh okay
18:57
so 100 would be a 180?
18:57
Yeah, 100 is like you would get a 180 and there's nothing more to teach you. I have only seen someone with a 100 like 2/3 times.
18:57
are you taking practice tests that are being scored though?
18:57
or just drills
18:57
Yep, they get factored into it.
18:58
I do drilling essentially every day. A timed section every 3, and a test every 2 weeks.

re: WashU's URM lsat differential - fair to chalk that up to LSAT redaction weirdness messing w the scale or are they generally starved for URMs

And an (albeit negligible) inverse URM GPA differential
Just found out LSAC gpa is different from offical from undergrad, went from 3.0 on 4.0 scale to 2.67... Guess I'm a super splitter rather than a splitter
