- You didn't look at who the check was from? - Credit Union Aug 31, 20:07 1

  - Cardio is a fellowship after internal medicine -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Aug 31, 19:42
I love time travel stories that take months to play out and then end with "Everything's back to the way it was before." -- nm - Mop Aug 31, 19:19 5
- All I can say is if "Rescue Me" ends with Tommy Gavin dying at the WTC making this whole series an end-of-life flashback, I am going to be pissed. - not2fast Aug 31, 20:06

    - says an unnamed Dem aide... - Stephen Aug 31, 19:55 13
      - It's someone directly involved. They would know, no matter their politics. - David Aug 31, 20:00 12
        
        Ah, so we're operating in make believe land where politics never play a part in shaping statements, and where Obama's team had no idea there was a GOP - Stephen Aug 31, 20:06 3
        
        What does that have to do with the petulance of the speaker's office? - David Aug 31, 20:21 2
        
        Because you're only seeing petulance on the speaker's part... - Stephen Aug 31, 20:24 1
        
        The Speaker's office has that track record. - David Aug 31, 20:30
        
        How does being "involved" make a person of one party unbiased about the other party? -- nm - Ender Aug 31, 20:02 7
        
        I said involved. He said unbiased. -- nm - David Aug 31, 20:19 6
        
        "It's someone involved. They would know no matter their politics" - Stephen Aug 31, 20:22 5
        
        They Would k -- nm - David Aug 31, 20:23 4
        
        Now. How is this even up for debate? - David Aug 31, 20:24 3
        
        What would they know? Don't you think the political hacks on both sides are saying the other side's being childish? -- nm - Ender Aug 31, 20:30
        
        Because no Dem aide would ever make a politically motivated statement to make the other party look bad... - Stephen Aug 31, 20:29 1
        
        The first sentence of that I'm is how I feel about this entire discussion. -- nm - David Aug 31, 20:31

        "Huh. The GOP asked for something and Obama gave it to them. Again." -- nm - Moderates Aug 31, 20:10 1
        
        Exactly. - David Aug 31, 20:24

So the toe story ... Wouldn't he have been able to dig the ground from under his foot and slide it out from under the tire? -- nm - JenBro Aug 31, 18:55 14
- I have a feeling that if that were any kind of possibility, he would have done it. -- nm - loosilu Aug 31, 19:20
- What would hold the tire up? -- nm - mara Aug 31, 19:04 6
  - Well I was thinking the foot was perpendicular to the tire and would then drop lower than ground on either side that would keep the tire elevated? -- nm - JenBro Aug 31, 19:06 5
    - Ah, is the tire significantly wider than the foot? I didn't read the article. -- nm - mara Aug 31, 19:09 4
      - Well it said a trailer tire - so I was thinking larger than a car tire for it to pin his foot. I should have skipped reading it because I can't stop - JenBro Aug 31, 19:14 3
        
        catastrophic thinking will drive you insane. TRUST ME. -- nm - loosilu Aug 31, 19:21
        
        I can identify -- I tend to worry about whatever remotely possibly danger I can imagine. -- nm - mara Aug 31, 19:17 1
        
        Yeah it's that "hmmm what would I do?" thoughts -- nm - JenBro Aug 31, 19:27
- foot? what foot? -nm - peglegpete Aug 31, 19:03

        It is, but I'm able to set it and forget it, which allows me to *not* be annoyed that I can't play in the shower. - Kim Pine Aug 31, 19:23
  - I can't find it for Android. :-( -- nm - mara Aug 31, 19:09
