Arya's Indoctrination re-write: At the beginning of Season 5, Arya gains entry to the House of Black and White, but, just before entering, she buries Needle. Arya enters the black and white doors, they seal behind her, and she does not emerge again until the end of Season 6. At that time, the...

Dude, unicorns are part of what makes it super soft.

So they have him playing another character in the show? Something's fishy. Is Meribald a book character? Gannascoli played a bakery customer in one Sopranos episode before he became Vito Spatafore the following season. But I don't see the actor of an established and popular character being...

Historic zoning makes sense in some places, but in others it's been used as a half-assed measure to keep urban blight under control (ignorant of property values, rentals, and per capita incomes), even though the homes don't really have historical significance. Wilmington, Delaware, for example...

It also beats pressed board because it isn't bound with chemicals that start disintegrating when wet. Also, you can sand it. A lot of the stuff only looks the same at a glance. Next time you're at a new construction home with a deck, go over to a railing and post. Jostle it a bit. Ask...

Teeth look pretty good for 7 years! A good sign.

Do you live in a suburban development constructed post 1980, preferably post 2000? I'm not talking about urban neighborhoods in big cities. That's a completely different thing.

If you know the acreage of the development and price paid, that's easy enough to ballpark. Cost of land isn't factoring into more than 20% of the eventual sale price. Might not even be 10% when they crank out (100) 1 Million dollar units on .7 acre lots.

I'm into stone and glass, too. Eh, what's the difference between an BMW with ordered paint and leather interior and a Kia with one of five colors and soft touch plastic interior? The two main problems I see are that a $1.1M home should have material and craftsmanship commensurate with...

I think so. At least there are really great cuts of wood that just aren't easily or affordably available anymore. Simple example: in the late 1800s, northeast area middle class three story townhomes had single piece ~20' walnut banister rails. Now that railing would be made from two pieces and...

Had no idea of the geography! If they want to write to indulge the audience, she should get the honor of dispatching Ramsay.

I'm not advocating a tear down. You will find 100+ year old cuts of wood in some of those homes that can't really be done anymore.

Isn't she on the right continent to assassinate Tyrion? I could see the Masters contracting with the Faceless Men to get rid of him.

I like old houses, but that one is merely someone's staged renovation. Beware. Better to buy an old functional house and renovate it yourself. Better to have your own Frankenstein than someone else's. Also, the front and back yards look shitty.

6,000 square feet on a half acre lot to fill with stuff. It's a development tucked away behind light commercial zoning! The only thing that I can figure is that people will pay to have neighbors that were also able to pay. The same sort of reasoning seems to apply to private schooling when...

Were mortgages available without amortization like 40 years ago? My parents describe a loan that was much quicker to overpay and pay off. Anyway, I'm renovating an 8 year old Toll Bros. house, bought new in 2008 for $1.1 million in a neighborhood of like homes. The house hasmultiple...

I think it's because such war dragons had riders in the past. I think Arya says something about it during one of her conversations with Tywin. Found it. the Tale of Harrenhal:Tywin Arya: The Tale of Harrenhal - YouTube So yeah, the show has made it clear Aegon's dragons had riders. Who...

Paid by some Marvel superpac maybe. If I'm a troll, it's not intentional or paid. I just readflawlessand felt compelled to type.

I'm glad you could enjoy it. I could not. The exposition is boring and comes through way too much telling and not enough showing. The actions scenes, as in Winter Soldier, go on for way too long. The whole disagreement between Cap and Stark is contrived. If generations of bomber pilots can...

Grille inserts that make the glass look like it's got panes. Form without function. I would go with that only on a colonial. Otherwise the grid option eats up sunlight and view.

Yeah, that would be ok assuming you know the builder or it's a smaller company with a legit reputation.

Even better advice: skip new construction entirely. You're most likely getting a oversized home depot mcmansion on an undersized lot with a lot of irregular work right down to the stud spacing. On top of that, you will be dealing with a homeowners association until the day you sell.

What if you were casting the Tower of Joy scene? Would you still have a young Ned that looks like old Ned was hit in the face with a frying pan?

I had to drive one for a work project once. It was comfortable and practical for a few people and some equipment. But I hate minivans because of how I see them driven on the road--problems holding lanes, cutting across two lanes to make highway exits, running red lights. People driving...

I don't deny it. You know how some people swear by manual and disregard that some automatic systems can shift faster and more efficiently? I think that's me with automatic versus CVT. CVT just takes too much fun out of it. I like the versatility of DSG with paddles. Control when I want it...

DSG with paddles, please.

Ah, so the book characters were aware of his real name. Yeah Willis seems a strange choice. Did the books suggest anything about him not always being brain damaged?

Sorry to hear it =/ Dunno if this was the case (vet probably would have recognized it), but otherwise healthy cats can throw clots in their aortas or leg arteries that aren't immediately fatal, but it wipe our their lower bodies and they can't recover. It's horrible.

Yeah the resurrection was ok. It even left some ambiguity that Mel succeeded. Maybe it was Jon returning from worging into Ghost, or maybe Ghost did it. He is named Ghost, afterall. Were it my story, I would have old Mel found dead in bed next episode. Whether she succeeded or not, her life...

Don't feel bad about it. I'm reading your post and vicariously angry at the dealership! You still got a good vehicle. When you walk in that door, there is an entire system of people working against you, and they practice their spiel daily. You, at most get to do it once every few years. If...

Did the salesman or financing guy tell you this? Basically anything the dealer offers after you have agreed to the price of the car is so they can get more margin. In short, it's all bullshit. You can cancel extended warranties and get refunded. It won't change the payment, though. You...

Latest news is that the March part was dropped, and now it's just an open-ended 2017 release for Zelda (and NX, too?). There's also a rumor that AMD fucked up Nintendo's NX chip order and might be responsible for the 2017 release. So maybe Nintendo will have a proper fall 2017 release...

gotta go with the 2.0xt forester, otherwise yeah it will be kinda slow.

I hope you're not right, but quotes about "new way of thinking" could definitely turn out colossally stupid. No clue what to make of it. If Miitomo is any example, Nintendo's new way of thinking is pretty lame. Officially the March release is to make sure there are enough games for the...

Could be. I think it's dangerous, though. If they system and release games don't generate a lot of interest, then they go into the system's first holiday season dead.

I haven't read the books but yeah exactly, who the fuck else would she be? Varys and Tyrion have been declawed, too =/ I think that' the whole looming problem with Game of Thrones. The elements that will make the climax, action and supernatural, are the weakest parts of the show. Did...

What's the strategy behind a March 2017 new system release? Doesn't sometime between Labor Day and Christmas make a lot more sense?

There are a lot of things to pick at in the first episode of season 6: * Davos' motivation * Jaimie and Cersei's odd interaction * another unconvincing Sand Snake show of force * the wtf murder of Trystan on the boat * the re-use of the Kill the Masters graffiti (still in English) But...

It's ok to be a nerd with conceits. For example, I would like to see Thrawn as the chief bad guy, and I would like to see Nathan Fillion as the new scoundrel. Eh, what am I saying...I want Firefly and not Star Wars anymore.

Your hokey religion based on a couple of good but now ancient films is no match for something new and good. This is the bottom line with Star Wars: A New Hope is good fun as long as it doesn't have the updated CGI. Empire is great. Jedi is cringe-inducing except for the Emperor fight and...
