Teamwork makes the dream work.

Solomon doesn’t stand a chance.

I can totally relate. But to answer your original question (and reinforce one of the other poster’s points), there’s no getting around sweating, even if you’re cold. I was digging out from the recent storm in the dark, gusty wind, temps well below freezing, taking things slowly. Still sweat through my inner shirt and hood.

The line I was reacting to stated an overnight low of 95. It was 104 by 9:30am. We’ve had stretches where it didn’t dip below 85 (cycle of nightly cloud cover basically acting as a wet blanket) and it was absolutely miserable. A low of 95 is nightmare territory.

A friend of mine reached out to a couple of Nebula creators to ask them if it was more beneficial financially for people to watch their stuff on Nebula or YT. Neither had a cut and dried answer, saying that YT views are important for long term discoverability that was hard to quantify vs getting a direct cut of the Nebula money/YT ads. So I’ll sometimes watch shorter-form videos on YT and save the deep dives/binging for Nebula.

Edit because I forgot the point I was responding to: Grady linking to YT might be a case of needing that engagement either short or long term.

In Adelaide, the mercury hit 40C before 9.30am on Tuesday, after overnight lows of 35C

There are not enough swear words in my vocabulary to successfully articulate my reaction to that.

I’m here, in the US. I don’t see any racism. pans I don’t see any fascism pans definitely don’t see any imperialism. All is quiet and peaceful.

I have now proved that these things do not exist. You can keep believing your Kremlin psy-op. I know The Truth. Everything else is just propaganda.

:o

7 was the first and last version of Windows that I didn’t immediately despise.

Russia gonna finish off Ukraine any day now 🤣

Someone should tell Putin that NATO is fake so he can stop feeding people into the Ukrainian meat grinder.

Two year old account that only started popping off today. Totally legitimate behavior.

IMO they did a pretty good job foreshadowing. She was absolutely brutal in Astapor (justifiably), and was on her way in Meereen before being talked down by her advisors. This becomes a recurring theme: she wants to charge in and go scorched earth, Jorah/Varys/Tyrion/etc urge caution. And at the end, none of them were there any longer. Varys and Tyrion were rejected as traitors, Jorah, Missandei, Rhaegal, and Viserion all killed in her presence. It was just Dany, Drogon, grief, and rage at the end.

Going by the general reaction, it was probably a bit too subtle. But it’s pretty low on my list of GoT endgame sins.

what should be a multi month voyage is reduced to days

I think this is what got under my skin the most on the initial watch. Gendry just… running… all the way back to the wall, sending a raven for Dany, and her showing up for the rescue… what was that, like, 6 shots? It pulled me right out.

I kept that in mind during rewatch. What I started realizing is that the early seasons were able to cover passage of time by switching locations/storylines. There was a LOT going on in a bunch of places, and for the most part it was handled well. As the end approached, there were less locations/storylines as everything converged on the North and King’s Landing. So not only did the show lose having the books to fall back on, they also lost the ability to mask time skips. And this was not handled well at all. The result was jarring cuts and a rushed pace. I don’t think stretching the end out any further just for the sake of being longer would have been a net positive, let alone adding seasons of what would have amounted to filler. But there had to have been a better way to avoid those self inflicted faceplants.

Any parents related?

Nothin says lovin like knockin up your cousin.

Not to yuck anyone’s yum, but if he slipped on a banana peel and caved his teeth in before getting his balls flattened by a sumo wrestler in cleats while someone scraped away his tattoos with a rusty knife, I would not be upset.

Criminal charges? That would be due process. I have been informed we no longer need that protection.

It took me years to recognize how propagandized I was and how ignorant of history, politics, and law I was.

Used to be, but still are, too. Just with a different slant.
