Thoughts on Jafari Law Group vs Miller Law Group for IP stuff?

I had a consultation with both a few months ago. Jafari was way more transparent about their fee structure. Miller kept dodging my questions about estimated total costs.

I hit 37 mentions of a specific historical figure in a single textbook chapter

That textbook thing is wild but not surprising. My kid had a unit on colonial America that mentioned a certain founding father over and over without ever getting into the slavery stuff. What worked for us was using the textbook as a starting point, then looking up primary sources together online. We found letters and speeches that opened up the real conversation the book was avoiding. It turned a frustrating homework session into a much better lesson on how to read history critically.

My friend swore by buying cheap bulk spices, but I think it's a waste of money

True, but my chili recipe is the one thing I've managed not to ruin... the paprika's expiration date feels like a ticking clock on my only culinary win. Guess I'll just add more and hope for the best.

Just had a weird bottom bracket creak that turned out to be the chainring bolts

Had the same reaction when I first saw that spec. I just used a small torque wrench set to the lowest setting and it felt wrong, but it held. The manual was right, some of those small fasteners don't need much.
