silver certificates

Read a random definition: Reasonable accomodation

A quick definition of silver certificates:

Silver certificates were a type of paper money in the United States that could be exchanged for silver. However, they are no longer used and have been replaced by a different type of paper money called Federal Reserve notes, which cannot be exchanged for silver.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Silver certificates were a form of U.S. paper money that used to be in circulation and could be exchanged for silver. However, they have been replaced by Federal Reserve notes, which cannot be redeemed for silver.

Example: In the past, if you had a silver certificate worth $1, you could take it to a bank and exchange it for an actual silver dollar. This meant that the paper money was backed by a tangible asset, which was silver. However, this is no longer possible with Federal Reserve notes.

Explanation: The example illustrates how silver certificates used to work and how they differed from the current paper money system. Silver certificates were a way for people to hold paper money that was backed by a valuable asset, which was silver. This gave people confidence in the value of their money. However, this system was eventually replaced by Federal Reserve notes, which are not backed by any tangible asset. This means that the value of the paper money is based on the trust people have in the government and the economy.

I told my family I won’t get any decisions until 2025 so they wouldn’t bombard me hahah
no i think there should be a Law School combine with all new drills except there is still the 40 yard dash
and a sub 4.5 gets you into any t14
LSAT can be one of the drills

So all the D1 athletes will get into a T-14. What else is new?
@TheAdoptedOne: that is called "Dean Poker Night" lol
@ClockworkBlue: I feel like most people could train for the 40 for the same amount of time as they do the LSAT and get close to sub 5 which would be equivalent to a 167+
this is like the schizophrenic posts JJK tik tok be putting out

Imagine if election night was run by an adcom? Like, "yep, we could get the results Friday, or June 2025."
imagine if it was like Berkley applications

I have no idea why people have so much beef w berkeley's app
I've been reading a bit about "herding," which is this idea that pollsters are making the race look tied so they look right no matter who wins.

Like... it's a more involved app but you don't have to do it? They're clearly trying to have some self-selection go on
I 100% agree with the self selection, I also am not even close to touching the medians there. However I think the huge PS plus the video and especially the very specific criteria for the why Berkeley essay is pretty crazy
