Yes, they do exist, and I am definitely not one.
I’m always amused at people who can’t conceive of anyone who is not heterosexual, because they’re projecting. And as I’ve often noted, most of the argument about this stuff probably consists of bisexuals who assume that everyone is like them, and that therefore it is a choice.

I’ve never thought it looked a day over four billion years old, myself.
[Afternoon update]
Link is fixed.
…could trigger the San Andreas north of LA.
Nice picture. It shows how the two faults define the Mojave desert, separating it from the Tehachapis and southern Sierra. A major quake on that fault would be bad for the LA basin, but not as much as a 7 on the Newport-Inglewood fault, which last acted up in the 1930s in Long Beach. It is just a few miles east of our house.
The relationship goes back to neolithic times.
Some thoughts from Tyler Cowen.

[Update a while later]
The benefits of pooled testing.
I don’t understand why they haven’t been doing this. Other than, of course, continued incompetence at the CDC.
An interesting new discovery by LRO:
“If this hypothesis is true, only the first few hundred meters of the moon’s surface possesses little iron and titanium oxides, according to NASA. ‘But below the surface, there’s a steady increase to a rich and unexpected bonanza,’ it said.”
At the Space Settlement Summit last fall in Pasadena, a Canadian mining engineer berated the assembled for lack of seriousness when it comes to lunar resources. “You have no idea what’s under that dust,” he said, “and you won’t until you get up there and start drilling.” I thanked him for the comment, noting that for people who claim to want to develop the solar system, we think really small, likely from hanging out with NASA too much.
How old is he in human years? It turns out that it’s not multiply by seven. It never made a lot of sense to me that it would be a linear relationship. I’d like to see them do cats now.
An interesting anti-aging result in mice. The interesting thing is that it’s already an approved procedure, so it won’t need clinical trials.
