    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Something's been bugging me with the way they do wax seals on this show. The seal is on the napkin ring that the letter is rolled up in but you can just slide it off. Isn't the point of sealing something with wax to make it so the message can't be tampered with unless the seal is broken...

    These people are idiots. American cheese is just cheddar with some other cheese and some emulsifiers added to it to make it melt more easily. You don't have to like it but it's not some magic technosubstance that is somehow unhealthy (any more than any other cheese). Just a couple weeks ago...

    With regard to Varys trying to put a Targaryan in charge I'm late to the party and there are people who know more than me about this but my impression was that historically the Targaryans were either great leaders or totally insane. The Mad King was obviously one of the insane ones but a lot of...

    There is definitely a lot of shit with food that is just being pretentious, particularly when white people start telling you about "authentic" ethnic food. Now maybe you are angry about cottage cheese in lasagna because it's different than what you're used to and maybe it's because you're a...

    Since I read the books I didn't think Arya would ever become a faceless man and last night's episode was pretty careful to spell out that she was definitely not no one no matter how many times she says she is. I don't know what she's going to do but I will be shocked if she actually becomes a...

    Sure, but the most disappointed people were the ones that wrote an encyclopedia's worth of theories about stuff that turned out to be meaningless or misguided. Do you remember the LOST thread on this board? It was as long as this one or possibly longer.

    He doesn't need to be a savior but we have read too much of his boring ass story for him to not influence the main plot in some significant way. I hope the reason the book hasn't come out isn't that GRRM has just failed at tying this shit all together so it makes sense but they're going with it...

    You have to look at the current output ratings on them. To charge a modern smartphone decently they need to put out at least 2 amps (different than mAH) 3 amps if you have a USB C phone and you want it to fast charge.

    From what I heard the cousin IT episode was actually totally unplanned and Probst had no idea that she was going to do that. I believe it based on how flustered he got and the fact that it was a long ass time until the first commercial break. I don't think that they need to talk to every...

    I have a weber gas grill and a BGE but I'm still thinking about getting a pellet smoker. I have smoked some good shit in the BGE and if I had weekends off I would be all about sitting in the yard drinking beer and babysitting my smoker but I just don't have that kind of free time. I need to be...

    We have 20ish chickens and they do just drop dead sometimes. I think that they can live like 5 years or more but they never last that long around here because they don't lay as many eggs after the first couple years.

    My Weber gas grill can get almost that hot. I burned the shit out of some chicken on it the other day because I just cranked it and then put the chicken in for 5 minutes without checking it. The BGE can get that hot if everything is right also. Makes a great steak but you have to be careful...

    I've been thinking about a GMG lately but that Yoder looks pretty badass. I like the electronic controls/smartphone app on the GMG but the Yoder seems to be built a lot heavier. There also seems to not be a Yoder dealership within 300 miles of me.

    Sorry but this is nonsense. Michelle was a passive player whose only attributes were that she stayed under the radar and won the last 2 challenges. Seeing who voted for her confirms that it was a cool kid thing and/or butthurt jury. Not voting for the person who got you out is the definition...

    Man, I did not see that coming. I thought Michelle might win in a final 2 vs. Tai but I never saw her beating Aubrey in the vote. I think Aubrey played a pretty flawless game and Michelle did jack shit strategically and the jury totally screwed the pooch on the vote. I haven't seen who voted...

    What GRRM said sounds a lot like "Well, the fans noticed that I made a mistake so here's some backpedaling bullshit about a miracle". The TV writers, who are less concerned with the ego of GRRM than he is himself, just chose to correct the error and move forward and whatever GRRM said in some...

    I completely disagree. There's no way that her dragons showing up unites the Dothraki behind her like this did. They knew she had dragons when the council of khals voted to have a rape train on her. She did this single handedly which is what makes her the fabled stallion that mounts the world...

    The fire definitely spread a lot faster than it would on a normal wood floor, but I just figured that darrio snuck in earlier and coated the floor with lamp oil or something.

    They had to run through the fire to get to her. All she had to do was stand in the hottest part of the fire and they're not getting to her. Also I think when you're in the middle of burning to death revenge might not be immediately on your mind.

    Well if you mean *just* eggs you may be right but when you add in meat, cheese, and vegetables the possibilities get pretty endless. I guess I think of low carb differently than you guys. When I do low carb I just cut out bread, potatoes, rice, and sweets, eat all the vegetables I want, and...

    If you got sick of eggs you were doing them wrong. There's a million ways to cook eggs. The non hard boiled variety are not that portable though sadly. Maybe you are just going to have to get up 15 minutes earlier.

    Missandei is the hottest, although I think Mellisandre has the best boobs. God damn that leather outfit Missandei was wearing at the beginning of the episode got me going. Tyrion and Varys trying to work through the slaver's bay puzzle was great as was the possible Tormund/Brienne romance...

    To be fair, they didn't have much to work with since Joe's evac took out the immunity challenge. I'm sure the producers were really bummed. They almost should have run the immunity challenge as a bonus reward challenge or something just to get some more interesting stuff to show.

    To me breakfast is one of the easiest times to go low carb because eggs. A sausage patty with a poached egg on top is one of the world's finest breakfasts. You can even put hollandaise on it without adding any carbs. Of course it's even better with an english muffin or a piece of toast under...
