  - That's why they didn't win a Pulitzer for their photography. -- nm - Ender Apr 16, 13:41 4
    - I'd always heard people complaining about bad instagrams, but I've never seen one that poor ... hehe -- nm - Beryllium Apr 16, 13:42 3
      - Actually, my pic from Saturday night would fit in well in that series. -- nm - Iron Spawn Apr 16, 13:43 2

Question: How do we end up with public servants who 'take the fifth'... - Old Antarctic Explorer Apr 16, 13:26 10
- Through the democratic process. -- nm - David Apr 16, 13:30
- they are federal employees, not slaves. They still have rights. -- nm - Don Homer Apr 16, 13:29 4
  - Of course they still have rights, but don't they also have responsibilities... - Old Antarctic Explorer Apr 16, 13:31 3
    - Yes, it's astonishing isn't it that someone who would work for the government might show bad judgment. - pmb Apr 16, 13:46
    - I am not sure what you are saying. Are you saying they should give up their rights when working for the Government? - amoxy Apr 16, 13:33 1
      - Sorry not to be clear. Yes, I agree they should be held to a higher standard... - Old Antarctic Explorer Apr 16, 14:07
- Last I checked, you don't give up your constitutional rights when you work for the government. -- nm - znufrii Apr 16, 13:27 3

It's probably way too much money, but I think I want a Galaxy Note. -- nm - Qale Apr 16, 13:21 9
- It's not the cost of the phone that gets you. It's the cost of buying new pairs of pants with big enough pockets. -- nm - TFox, Loser-est Loser Apr 16, 13:26 3
  - do they even make pants that big?? -- nm - Don Homer Apr 16, 13:29 1
    - *pats his cargo pants* -- nm - Iron Spawn Apr 16, 13:31

      - I almost think scar tissue buildup is unavoidable. re: meniscus damage - would this be a new injury or a reinjure? -- nm - Diva Apr 16, 13:31 14
        
        I do not know, but the inside of the knee is unstable. - groiny Apr 16, 13:33 13
        
        i can't sit for a few hours (i can barely sit for a whole hour). If I don't get up and use the knee at intermittent intervals standing just sucks. -- nm - Diva Apr 16, 13:35 12
        
        did you get a replacement? - groiny Apr 16, 13:37 11

        no, I haven't but I know a lot of people who have. They all say their pain is gone. - Diva Apr 16, 13:41
        
        Is this from just wear and tear or was it from the original surgery? - amoxy Apr 16, 13:38 4
        
        I have not really been able to re-injure it, it just never seemed to heal right. - groiny Apr 16, 13:41 3
