I was thinking Benjen, since the Bran flashback.

100% agree. the _spell_ had nothing to do with it, but that moment when she dropped her pride and just nakedly begged, that was the important moment.

No way, it may be wrong, but Daario = Benjen requires insane contortion, and Tyrion is Aerys’ son clearly could have happened given the timeline of the show. Honestly I only gave it a 1/4 chance myself, till last night when Tyrion basically made out with the dragons and now I think it is 99%.

Young Griff is a secret definitely fake targaryan.

I actually think engineered pandemic within the next 5 years is overblown. Modern genetic manipulation techniques have given us the ability to make any arbitrary change in a genome we want, but mostly we have no clue what any arbitrary change would do, that is, our ability to rewrite code far outstrips our ability to…

I think this is because the endgame requires a war between Dorne and the Lannisters to happen soon. In the books, it is happening when Dorne throws its weight behind Fake Aegon, Griff, and the Golden Company. In the show, this whole subplot was completely cut. So this stupid assassination and somehow takeover of Dorne…

Twice daily, my cat demands a similar routine, where I have to put a specific furry blanket on myself so she can pretend to nurse. She not only kneads, but licks/bites the fuzzy blanket.

I’m like 99% sure my cat thinks I’m her mama.

Course, Fe2+ isn’t soluble in methane. The lack of available metal ions is a pretty rough barrier to catalytic chemistry.

Well, earth life didn’t need oxygen for the first 2 billion years; Fe 2+ and Sulfur compounds filled that role. In fact, the initial introduction of oxygen was the first major extinction event as all the Fe2+ precipitate out of the oceans.

Though using the dryer takes a significant burst of electricity, which is almost certainly as much or more than a towel takes to produce.

Yep, that I agree with you 100%. The problem with patent system is usually trolls, and Monsanto prosecutes their GMO patents like a 10,000 lb troll.

Just get a tortoise! my tort can’t get enough fresh dandilion.

We’ve been patenting new plant varieties since 1930; this is not a practice unique to monstanto or to GMOS.

Varys and Tyrion are only middle aged, be nice!

I counted a half dozen major deviations from the books—what’s the one you’re referencing?

He really f’ed up the series by not doing the 5 year time jump as planned, and instead writing out a 2000 page training montage in the form of books 4&5. He just couldn’t bear anything happening off camera, it seems. Not only are the later books boring, all the stark kids are too young.

Wait, if the public is losing concern for the potential harms of food dyes, why are all so many major cereal brands and other food products getting their artificial dyes stripped out and replaced with beed juice or whatever the naturally sourced dyes are? It seems like there is a huge demand to get dyes like those…

Wait Hulk 3? Is Ang Lee’s Hulk cannon!?

How about those three raising Nathon Fillon as their child?
