A quick definition of thimblerig:

Thimblerig: A game where someone hides a small ball under one of three thimbles and shuffles them around. The player has to guess which thimble the ball is under. It's like the shell game.

Thing: Something that someone owns, like a toy or a book. There are three types of things: things you can touch, like a toy or a book (called corporeal things); things you can't touch, like a song or a patent (called incorporeal things); and things that are both, like a house or a car (called real things).

A more thorough explanation:

Thimblerig is another term for the shell game, which is a type of gambling game where a small ball or pea is hidden under one of three shells or cups, and the player must guess which one it is under after the shells are shuffled around. The game is often used to cheat people out of their money.

Thin capitalization refers to a situation where a company has a high level of debt compared to its equity. This can be a problem because if the company experiences financial difficulties, it may not have enough assets to pay off its debts. For example, if a company has $1 million in assets and $900,000 in debt, it is said to be thinly capitalized.

A thin corporation is a company that has few assets or employees and is often used as a shell company for tax or legal purposes. For example, a company may set up a thin corporation in a tax haven to avoid paying taxes in their home country.

A thing is any object or item that can be owned by someone. There are three categories of things: real or immovable things like land, personal or movable things like cars or furniture, and things that have both real and personal characteristics like a title deed. An example of a thing would be a car that someone owns.

@RasheedWallaceFan: yeah for some reason SMU isnt listed on any of the rankings lists. Been that way all year
@NemoPropheta: you only got another 40+ years of it!
@PremiumFrequentCrane Is right.
You'll forever have those days where shit ain't getting done. Just a matter of how you handle them. (IE using Chatgpt to draft a motion for leave like meeeee)

look at my lawyer dawg... im going to jail
Nah, I don't use it to do my case law. Just the actual motion drafting.
For example, I was trying to get the right language in a Motion for Sanctions (tl;dr slip and fall case, defense counsel played nothing but games – IE never sending records despite it being mandatory to trcp, producing never before seen records DURING A DEPO) and just talked to ChatGPT about his behavior to provide background to help with the drafting for the procedural paragraph.
@NosyBeagle: just makes me think of vanillamace

real quick question. How much do early applications matter? I have super strong softs and an ok LSAT score of 160. GPA wasn't great at 3.33. I applied in late march and I have been rejected everywhere so far

Have you used the LSAC search for schools link? It helps a lot letting you know the probability of acceptance.
I mean early early might be overblown but dont apply if you are applying in march
