Hammer and nail problem. Durham had to whack something.

Looks like a fun guy with that Wilfred Brimley goatee and perma-scowl. Perfect dour asshole for that kind of work.

At least Bill Barr looked like a garrulous Norm from Cheers with whom one could have a few drinks. And he apparently didn't give a fuck about telling Trump he was a moron:

"[T]here are a lot of people out there, independents and Republicans in the suburbs of the critical states that think you’re an asshole. They think you act like an asshole and you got to, you got to start taking that into account.
...
And it just seems that every time you’re out there, you’re talking about your goddamn grievances.”

Have I told you lately how much I love this guy's weekly summations of Fed court opinions - https://reason.com/volokh/2021/10/01...decisions-126/ ? An example -

Quote:
Douglas Adams' fictional detective Dirk Gently believed in the "fundamental interconnectedness of all things." So he would have loved this lawsuit by the City of Oakland, Calif. against Wells Fargo, alleging that its discriminatory lending practices caused higher default rates, which in turn triggered higher foreclosure rates, which in turn drove down the assessed value of properties, which in turn led to reduced property-tax revenue and increased municipal expenditures. At the very least, he probably would have liked it more than the en banc Ninth Circuit, which takes a less holistic view of proximate causation.

Speaking of rugrats--I'm not really spreading this on other social media quite yet--but after ten years of trying, unglodly amounts of money, lots of awesome science, and a very fertile woman from Florida who gave us 41 eggs (12 fertilized on ice), I'm pregnant with a boy due in March! 17 weeks pregnant right now.

That is not my issue. It is the odds that older parents will die on the children early.

You are right about the odds, of course. But as I have recently become painfully aware, regardless of when you have a child or children, betting on any odds regarding your own longevity can have disappointing results.

Eh, maybe.

Neither one of us is in ill health at all. We've been tested out the wazoo for pretty much everything in order to do this, including a shit ton of psych stuff. We're both vaxxed (me triply so). The cardiologist was actually HAPPY if perplexed to see me ("we don't get totally normal hearts very often") and gave me a 0.05% chance of having a cardio event in the next ten years. G's dad was his age when his youngest sister was born and is still going strong. My family tends to live to the 90s plus, with one great aunt about to hit 104 next month. His is similarly long aged. We both work out, keep an eye on what we eat. Hell, he's a fitness professional. We have access to pretty much any and every health resource on the planet, and we take advantage. One of the psych people told us older parents tend to do better, because they have their shit together at this point, financially and general life wise.

We could get hit by a truck next week. Or die of breakthrough Covid. Or develop cancer (though it's not in either family at any great rate). Or get bitten by a snake. Or a gagillion things that could kill us. We have no intention of orphaning this kid, but I don't think anyone does.

I figured you'd more object to putting another being into this world, which is admittedly a fucked up place.
