My son was born unexpectedly early with some complications. Finally, I got to the hospital to take them home, car seat thrown in the back. As baby was waiting inside, I started struggling to put it in the back. A man watched silently. 1/
After a couple of minutes I was dripping in sweat, it was upside down, one side wasn't clipped in.
Finally the guy stepped up. "I have five. Let me."
I wish I knew who that guy was so I could send him something.
To be clear, he’s bigger now. This was years ago. I know how to install a car seat now.
One last thing: the most scared I’ve been in a car was driving a newborn home through Manhattan and then the Brooklyn Bridge during rush hour. Objectively, not that scary. But oof.

Oh, I went to find out if they had suggested some Stewards. They had. It's Trump's cabinet!
Seriously, I will be startled if an order to show cause threatening discipline does not issue from the Court.
Sb8, in most relevant part, bans what Texas would call dismemberment abortion, and what I think the other side would call dilation and evacuation procedures (without prior “fetal demise”)

A quick anecdote I might have told. As maybe a 2nd year associate, I went to complain to a partner that I'd billed 300 hours 3 months in a row, and I was about toast. First he said I was being whiny, but after a bit of that he noted that 1/
Even at the sort of crazy place I worked, top performers used to bill 1800 hours a year. Partly, that had to do with the fact that the firm just needed to generate so much more $$$ to be competitive, but there was another thing - computers. 2/
I was in corporate then. So, he said, imagine how practice used to be. You'd get a proposed contract. You'd mark it up by hand. Late night. But then you gave it to the typing and redlining people. Reprieve. You'd do the cycle again. Late night. 3/
History side-note moment: I read this 1776 report. I'll leave to others the various errors and whatnot. But it is a singularly bad piece of writing. Like how I wrote as a first year college student, but before my teacher told me to try again.
