    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Plot armor is a pretty specific notion that the hero gets to do completely retarded things and come out of it alive. Jon has grown plot armor. Solo charging an entire row of archers and walking away? That's plot armor. It's "he's our hero, our plot revolves around him. He can't die. No...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    I've never really minded the titty bar. But I've never gone to one alone. That seems kinda like a bad idea and sad to boot. Not like I've spent a lot of time in them either, but I mean whatever. It's just titties. More fun than some dumb ass sports bar with 10 tv's all set to espn. All...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    It looked really nice, but you do have to admit John had plot armor and behaved extremely stupidly. It was pretty good for a don't think about it too hard action movie. It was actually pretty damn great for that. I think the nerds kinda wanted shit to make more sense.

    Hopefully all of them, tbh, and next season is about the internal politics of team ice necromonger. And hopefully there's no spoken lines. The entire thing is done with hand gesture and menacing stares.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    8000 years makes it make a lot more sense. It was a really nice presentation of phlanx fighting. That's basically how the romans murderstomped everyone 2000 years ago.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Yeah, I get that. But you know infant mortality is high up there. It'll take 12-15 years at least for them to get a productive generation. That's just bare minimum. Lets say it's even 100 years since the last winter and even 500 since the last time the zombies came out. If those zombies are...

    Do wildlings not come across the wall every winter? Was Mance that big of a deal that he did a "first time in history" kind of thing in trying to get them to migrate as a group? If they didn't come south though... how would there be any wildlings left? I know zombies don't come out -every-...

    I would think the wildlings get a big chunk of it.

    The Astronomy Thread

    Yeah, which I don't really get either. In that lecture he says they can "meet in the middle". But it doesn't seem like that would be remotely true. It seems like there would be a firewall right in the vertex. So he didn't resolve the firewall, he only pushed it from being a 4d object at the...

    King Kingslayer. I can totally see shit going that way. Cersi kills all the sparrows with Hellfire, Jaime doesn't get there soon enough to stop her but realizes that she's burnt down half the city and she's gone around the bend, so he mournfully stabs her in the tits. I can totally see it...

    My favorite part is, as you know I don't outline my novels. Never has anything been so. Fucking. Obvious. LOL

    She also is probably a little ashamed. And she would have been really ashamed if he didn't come. But he did. LF has made it his duty to please that booty, and now she knows it.

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    With Picasso? He has a certain appeal, and I'm not judging, but he was recently married and I think it's still too early for him to want to stray.

    Susskind has a physics lecture on exactly this. ER = EPR I think.

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    I think it's the sort of thing that no one wants to be too professionally excited about, because if it is a bad test environment then it could be a career changer, or ender. But there is something of a street cred prize for being able to disprove it. So far no one has claimed that prize. This...

    well, you have to read the link. Two opposite waves couple creating something which can escape the chamber. That might be overly simplified, but it's what the link says. And it should be detectable, but only indirectly.

    It's a badge of honor. /victory lap. Anyone can be mediocre. To aspire to exceptionalism... and then to attain it. This is good in life.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    I don't really understand why Gendry would even be relevant. I suppose I can see that wanting to eliminate a bastard was a motivation for the Lannisters (and basically the plot of season 1). But since they've had Jeoff and Tommen now, and since Stannis is dead, and Renly is dead, and neither...

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    My ignorant guess is that if you leave this up to the natural processes, then you'll have these things shooting out in roughly every direction equally so you won't get any focused thrust. Edit: And it'll happen a lot less often. And another ignorant assertion -- wouldn't that idea be...
