    My first-born son, in utero, was nicknamed "Voir" by his mother, a pun that only works if one uses the Texas pronunciation of Voir Dire[/Dyer].

    He's now a member of the State Bar of Texas himself, and I am proud to say both that he speaks the truth, and that he does so with a slight but recognizable Texas accent.

    Regarding the pronunciation of "sine die," Texas isn't the only state where the phrase is usually pronounced "sign-a dye" or "sign-ee dye." As someone who spent many years in the Iowa legislature (1 as a staffer, 16 as a legislator), I can report that we pronounced it that way in the Iowa legislature too. In fact, I'm not sure I ever heard it pronounced in the formal Latin manner. The only exception I can remember to saying we were adjourning "sign-ee dye" was a few times when someone jokingly substituted the phrase "dying sigh," as in "we adjourned with a dying sigh."

    David has taken to describing the last two Advisory Opinions podcasts as "action-packed." That led me to daydream about the Advisory Opinions movie with David played by Vin Diesel and Sarah portrayed by Brie Larson.

    Sarah, you’re wrong: Billy Budd is a good book. Although Moby Dick is better.

    At the same time, I think I had a similar contrarian personality to some extent in debating teachers throughout my education. In middle school I interrupted a social studies teacher extolling the glories of the Soviet Space Program to say, “we got to the moon first.” And I had a secular/agnostic Jewish professor in college tell me in front of the class that I was a bad Christian because I said Christ wasn’t a socialist. Both great teachers, by the way.

    Wish the hosts - both of them - would be more focused and less digressive in these discussions. You can keep the light and entertaining tone while at least attempting to be more straightforward. And - a special request - please make this the last word on cicadas.

    Kinda surprised that David had never heard of Billy Budd. If only he'd been an Aquaman character . . .

    My understanding is that Google did not copy Oracle’s code, but Oracle’s header files. This is a pretty key difference, because header files simply define an interface, not behaviour.

    Missed title opportunity. This one should have been titled: "It's All Happened Before"

    Progressives will establish a woke social credit system, and still David French will do nothing lol jk 😜😘

    (although kinda serious on the first half; Progressivism is a totalitarian religion that can't tolerate competition or dissent)
