I’ve done about 30 of these depositions
Have another lawyer there on your side or even a paralegal who speaks their language if you don’t.
Make sure you know personally the precise Translations of the key terms.
A real thorough job would be to learn the foreign language yourself so that you can actually go to the deposition fluent in it but that’s me.
Also, understanding difference between simultaneous translation and Consecutive. Consecutive a lot easier to understand like somebody said here it takes twice as long. If you have experience and a great translator in a very consecutive. Consecutive a lot easier just understand like somebody said here it takes twice as long. If you have experience and a great translator in a very experienced reporter you can use simultaneous but it’s for experts only

CrossFit
Can someone please xplain the significance of throwing the weights? Seems like a pussy move.

I don't get it either. We're on the second floor, so we have to use drop pads in any case. And I only drop when I'm completely exhausted or if I think lowering the weights will fuck up my back after a particularly heavy lift.
The people who drop most often and loudest are the same people who grunt the most and loudest. They want that attention and recognition of how much they're doing.

A friend of mine spent two years fighting with the Crossfit on the other side of the fence from her yard in Austin. The noise of weight throwing at all hours of the day was insane. The city changed the designation of two Crossfit studios to keep them out of residential neighborhoods after the ordeal.

Only learn the language if you can bill for it.

Some HS kid was dead-lifting 415 the other day for reps. He was about 170. I was fine with his grunting.
ETA: he was probably 25 but people in their 20s look like teenagers to me.

Re: Mother, mother, mother - there's too many of you crying.
Harsh, but probably fair (I don't mean to find out).
E.g.,
Quote:

The hour crawled by. A middle segment featured the “Today” regulars welcoming Kelly to 30 Rockefeller Center, a predawn festivity of studied smarm, with the added delight of seeing Kathie Lee Gifford sit in her makeup chair and play nice-nice with Kelly the way an old house cat would welcome a naive and extra-squeaky mouse to the kitchen.

I cut you all the slack if you make me stop what I'm doing to watch.

I will have a paid translator on my side. I only learn the language if I'm visiting the town my Grandparents left 85 years ago.

I'm occasionally a Plaintiff. It's glorious most of the time.
