  1. Years of torture. No recompense for that. He's bigger than the challenges. Bravo to him.

  2. I know this reaction. Once inhailed a sweet beer and my throat actually closed. I had to breathe very slowly to get air. If I tried to do a strong inhale, it closed. And the trouble is, after coughing to egest the obstruction you've expelled most of your breath. So the urge to engorge air is very strong. It took will power to not panic and just slowly let air in. The constriction is involuntary and instant. It is a strange effect, since to prevent foreign matter getting into the lungs, yet it also starves them. Hard to see how evolution selects for that.

  3.  @partysover856  : Better than nothing. Still, after lawyer and other expenses it had to be less than his prior annual salary would have yielded over those years, excluding potentially good investments or earned raises. To say nothing of vital family time lost, family rifts caused, pain ad suffering. No, that's no recompense at all. The apology was valuable, the settlement is an insult.

  4. Dalton is a very analytic and cerebral pragmatist. His disaffectedness is characteristic of genius. That same inwardness and outward grit is seen in several swaths of American culture or ethnics. The pragmatic, Pennsylvania farmer, the Amish, Serbians, Danes and some Brits are buttoned up. TV drama watchers expect something emotive, but its not representative of reality. It typically doesnt reflect the variety of types. Who before Fargo knew what "yah" represented?
