A quick definition of praeceptio haereditatis:

Term: praeceptio haereditatis

Definition: Praeceptio haereditatis is a legal term used in Scots law which means taking the inheritance in advance. It is also known as lucrative succession. This title is passive and if the heir incurs it, he becomes liable for his ancestor's debts. It was introduced to prevent an heir from receiving and enjoying a heritable estate under a gratuitous disposition inter vivos from his ancestor, which he would be entitled to succeed on the ancestor's death, and of thus avoiding responsibility for his ancestor's debts and other obligations.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Praeceptio haereditatis is a legal term used in Scots law to describe when someone takes their inheritance before they are supposed to. This is also called a lucrative succession. Example: If someone's grandfather left them a house in his will, but the person took ownership of the house before their grandfather passed away, that would be an example of praeceptio haereditatis. Explanation: This legal term is used to describe a situation where someone takes their inheritance before they are supposed to. This can cause problems because the person may not be aware of any debts or obligations that their ancestor had, and they could become responsible for them. The example shows how someone taking ownership of a house before their grandfather passed away would be considered praeceptio haereditatis because they are taking their inheritance before they are supposed to.

Quentin Tarantino is interested in watching somebody’s ear getting cut off; David Lynch is interested in the ear.

Quentin Tarantino can't resist putting a gay scene with a black guy participating in the gay act in his movies.
Dkkm11
18:05
David Lynch is just gay.

Lynch is more in touch with his unconscious/dream state than the average person

How’s your LSAT studying been going?
Dkkm11

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.
Dkkm11
18:51
I do like psychological horror though.
[] baddestbunny
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?
Dkkm11
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.
Dkkm11
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.
[] baddestbunny
18:56
yeah but if you’re getting a 95 on all sections what LSAT score is that? how is that calculated?
[] baddestbunny
18:56
oh okay
[] baddestbunny
18:57
so 100 would be a 180?
Dkkm11
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.
[] baddestbunny
18:57
are you taking practice tests that are being scored though?
[] baddestbunny
18:57
or just drills
Dkkm11
18:57
Yep, they get factored into it.
Dkkm11
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
