Cage match accepted.

Regarding the books and the struggle between the 3ER and Night King, GRRM has a whole lot more to work than the show. It’s never been his style to infodump even when he’s written much shorter work like Windhaven (incidentally a pretty decent read - it’s what got me to buy GoT when it originally came out), so I really d…

Here’s the actual pleading.

It looks - hopefully - like this may be more that the final DOD directive hasn’t actually been published and as result he’s currently caught in limbo. This fits with why the Navy Times article linked to the Coast Guard’s version for reference; the Coast Guard had a seat at the table while this thing was being forced…

Yeah, there are all sorts of interesting possibilities. If I had been the one who found it, I’d be as excited to try to track down which one it was as much as I was over the surprise jackpot.

I do hope that as part of the selling process they track down what’s far more interesting - was there any connection between FIL’s great-whatever and Bronte, or did whatever ancestor who attained this get it from one of the estate auctions, in which case who did it belong to?

Yep, I went sous vide a couple years ago and have never looked back. Being able to keep in the fridge for a month is a huge factor too.

it was Robinson’s immense talent (and good fortune at having that talent manifest immediately)

Yep, that’s been a problem with her writing since Dark Sansa emerged down the steps at the Eyrie.

Interesting, thanks. Also at 18 it wouldn’t be definitive anyway as you can certainly keep growing, but I’ve always thought it strange she was so adamant about not having had work done.

Good stories.  Regarding Hendricks, you may be able to answer something then that I’ve always wondered about - I’ve heard her proportions were rather different back in those days, but the sources have always been sketchy and whatever pics there are haven’t made it to the internet.

Ungreyed! That’s the nicest story out of the comments.

One related note: be very careful salting raw ground beef and then freezing it - aka premade burgers in vacuum sealed pouches.

Yep, not at all surprising that the whole point was getting their 10%.

What bothers me most about young players signing longer term deals at this point in their careers is that it feels like the agents are providing really awful counsel about the outyear market.

Yeah, I had much the same reaction, just on a deeper level.

It was so cold I forgot if I had to take a moment to remember that yes, I had taken swimming lessons as a child, and would not drown.

I view it as more life affirming. The 22 year olds in charge of their social media branding appear to have been too afraid that putting lines on his face would turn off their target audience, even if the result looks absurd with the age inappropriate hair and hipster gear.
