Wordle [spoilers inevitable but discouraged]
I slept about two hours after the Sugar Bowl loss, and then I got up and promptly killed my 258 day streak….

Wine
Looking forward to it. I’ve been in a KF drought since finishing my 14s almost two years ago. She has been my favorite Oregon PN producer for 10+ years, dating to her time at Scott Paul. If you have not tried her Pinot Blanc, I give it a strong recommendation.

Right, because blaming Biden for the temporary, bird flu related, price spike, was also bullshit.

2024 ACL Festival
Also, in for Weekend 1. Third year to take my teen daughter. First year, she was tethered. Last year, she roamed. This year, I might need to worry....

2024 ACL Festival
I think it likely OU is Weekend 2. First SEC year is a bit of a wild card, but an October 5 OU game would be the second earliest date ever, with only October 2, 2010 coming earlier (according to wikipedia).

Ken Paxton is dirty? NO FUCKING WAY!
It’s a double edged sword, but the Republicans are incapable of letting this be forgotten. We’ll have lots of reminders/repeats as long as they have power to do so.

Official Thread for Abortion Demagoguery
Not just girls.... I have HS sophomore boy/girl twins. They have not yet gotten serious about schools and areas of study, but all preliminary conversations include suggestion that (1) climate and politics make Texas a bad option for where to make a life, and (2) going away to school increases the opportunity to make that life somewhere else.

I've already followed up that I had not read the statute or opinion, and that my comment was based on a news story I read suggesting the Court made issue of her failure to put on proof tracking the requirement of the statute. But, this is BS. I did not remotely suggest that using magic words would have won the day. I have already agreed with the opposite - that the outcome was preordained and the opinion was written to reach that preordained outcome. On the other hand, what I suggested generally is fact. ALL proof of medical causation in Texas must be based on a reasonable degree of medical certainty, and not possibility. The jargon "reasonable medical probability" is typically used, but is not required. Failure to meet this standard results in exclusion of the medical testimony and is typically fatal to a plaintiff.

I’m not missing anything. I have not immersed myself in the opinion, and I’m not saying this was a singular determinative issue. I have no doubt they would find whatever was needed for their desired outcome. But, I’ve read reporting that the opinion states she failed to present evidence based in reasonable medical probability. And, as initially stated, IF SO, that was a huge mistake.

My statement was IF it is the case that…. But, your post tends to confirm that to be the case. “Reasonable medical probability” is both in the statue and a term of art required to support medical opinions in Texas courtrooms. The lawyer proferring the expert testimony should have prepped the witness to know the crucial need to use those magic words, and then teed up a fat pitch straight down the middle.

If Cox’s lawyer truly failed to ask the expert witness physician if his/her opinions were based in reasonable medical probability, that failure was both idiocy and malpractice. Still, fuck Paxton and the Supremes.
