Indeed. We found out my wife was pregnant the same day the offer was accepted!

Cool. And don’t sweat getting testy. Just about everyone here gets a little angry once in a while. Emotions are good.
Congrats on the house and it sounds like your little guy is gonna come through just fine. Apparently, he was ready.
Did they name a wing of the hospital after you as part of the settlement from you suing them? That’s ridiculous.
That’s terrible and glad you made it through, that’s scary!
I sure hope that guy isn't practicing medicine anymore.
My favorite scene with Gene Hackman was in The Royal Tenenbaums. After he reconciled with his son, there is a scene where he is in the back of an ambulance, dying. He has an oxygen mask on, and looks up at his son and smiles warmly at him. There was no dialogue, but it was such a powerful moment.
EDIT - found it. 1:29

Hackman was one of the best. I recently re-watched Unforgiven and he really drives that film, even more so than Eastwood.
One of his more unheralded roles that always delighted me is his performance as the conservative senator in The Birdcage. The dinner scene with him and Nathan Lane hitting it off is gold.

Out of the hospital, thank holy fate.
Not a Will Smith fan, but Hackman was great in that movie. Fast paced thriller.
I just listened to the first six songs on Down With the Sickness and it was quite good. Big sound. Big on staccato.
Bacon fat is an excellent medium for cooking eggs.
Bacon is not bad for you. Well, crappy bacon (or crappy anything) is bad for you, so I get the good stuff and save the fat.
While bacon has been demonized as terrible saturated fats, it is actually a complex profile of different fats and fatty acids.
Also, I have learned from a couple physicians who have shifted their focus away from old ideas that the American Heart Association is very quietly backing off their long-standing position that saturated fats are unhealthy above their RDAs.
I can’t find any article to support what they claimed, but it makes sense to me.

Science is the new religion. Go against either and see what happens.
EDIT: Is it not, @SirPaste? I’m not sure if you’re laughing at me or with me.

I just finished listening to Down With the Sickness and was impressed by the second half of the record.
I see the appeal.
EDIT: To reiterate, the second half of that record was excellent. Not that first half was bad, but I liked the slower pace and moodier vibe of the second half. There’s lots of emotion in that record. I like that.

I can distill this topic down for you.
We have evidence that:
1. High cholesterol (LDL-C) is associated with increased atherosclerosis, which is the process by which plaque builds up within the arteries.
2. Saturated fat increases LDL-C in a large percentage of people.
3. We find lots of saturated fat in dairy products and red meat.
The three statements above are well-established. Often times, public health officials and doctors will take premises (such as the 3 above) and deduce that one should limit their consumption of certain foods (e.g. bacon) to avoid cardiovascular disease. However, we do not have direct evidence that eating a particular food (i.e. dairy or red meat) causes increased plaque in people's arteries.
We lost last night b/c HF Boards was down, you can't convince me otherwise.
