So update on my multi-department application upgrade. Its still running on a box on my desk but after arguing with 2 managers and 3 directors they finally gave me some dev infrastructure. I have to find a way to cheat into production use without actually being a, "live" application. This is so...

I've had the same small rice cooker I got for under $20 seven years ago. Like others I use it for quinoa and rice all the time. That being said, about 10 years ago in CA I got acquainted with high quality rice. Like this stuff. Once I started eating it I seriously have a hard time eating...

California has a rather unique Property Tax system. If, for example, you moved to San Diego in the 1980's (or earlier) and bought that same 1500 sqft house for $250k or some shit. Your property tax is only ever calculated off of the purchase price that you paid for it. Forever. As opposed to...

I'm only on episode four but this is a really good series. All of the characters are good and Ruthie has even sparked my interest in svelte white trash girls with hillbilly accents. Obligatory weirdest_boner.gif.

Those Klingons look really weird. Why are they all black also?

Not sure what to make of that. Seems the robit revolution is staged like was presumed?

Long live the Gimp.

Man. Stupid life responsibilities! Keeping me away from such glory.

So I watched the first episode. Holy shit. That's a way to start a series IMO!

Yes.

I got it on prime day because it was 40% off. This was it's maiden voyage.

That was like a shittier, less funny version of the infomercials from Starship Troopers. Or an ad for some Xbox live campaign... That sucked.

No. You're misunderstanding the scope. Book Iron Bank is THE Bank for all of Free Cities and they all fear it. Braavos is the most powerful of the Free Cities and if Volantis or something doesn't pay up. The Iron Bank funds rebellions and undermines them to get someone in power to get their...

Debatable. Lots of dead people from multiple wars about now.

Not sure if the show mentioned but the reason they're funding Stannis is because Cersei stopped paying them. The Iron Bank called all of its debts in Westeros and refused to lend any money to anyone. The economy is extra fucked because of it.

That would be a good Alan Moore comic to bring to the screen! haha

Almost guaranteed to be. He even likes those pickled eggs and shit.

The Iron Bank is in the boat with Gendry still. Even though the Iron Bank itself funded Stannis because of Cersei's bullshit in the show. Who knows if they'll come up again at all.

Pressure cooker BBQ ribs were awesome. Good way to cheat out ribs in 45 minutes with 20 minutes in the cooker and 15 in the over at 450 with bbq sauce.

I got to 10 wins this morning with a pretty nice Shaman deck. Lost to some mage/rogue fucking bullshit though. I about threw broke my keyboard when the faggot rogue got a lightning storm from hallucinate and won because of it.

For me it is not believable that the Lannisters can contest the Reach. Like has been said. The Lannister forces have been put through the shit for the entire series. They just lost the Freys entirely and the Crownlands forces are not different from the Lannisters in the show. Given how many of...

Book version is totally encapsulated in gleaming white platemail. This is just hard to do in the show obviously. Under that is chainmail and under that is boiled leather. He wears some full helm that you can only see darkness in. All of the other Kingsguard are scared shitless of him as he never...

Book version doesn't even have a head. It won't be easy to kill it lol.

There's no real continuity between the magic seen in the world in GoT. This is intentional as all magic is supposed to be bizarre and unpredictable to the point of not being used or trusted by most people. That being said the Lord of Light's shadowmagic, Greensight (Bran), and Ice Magic are all...

If we're nerding out here. While the Mountain is raised from the dead it was not done so in the same manner as Beric/Lady Stoneheart. Beric was raised by the Lord of Light by Thoros. He later gives the, "breath of life" to raise Cat Stark for some unexplained reason. By comparison the Mountain...

Within reason. That's gross.

Speaking of the Bastards. I am kind of hoping they give the Dreadfort to Tormund and the Wildlings rather than send them out to Eastwatch by the Sea to slay undead. Would also fill the gap of the new House Jon Snow created in the book. Create House Giantsbane of the Dreadfort. Tormund can...

Got a Pressure Cooker on Prime Day that I've kind of been wanting. Going to give it it's maiden voyage on Pork Ribs. Just for something different.

I kind of have a thing for girls with lots of piercings.

I have 5k gold and I may or may not pick up the 50 card pack thing. We'll see.

99% certain that that part was just to accelerate the Frey's demise as they can't do the slow burn of bandits and Northern lords to get rid of them. Gotta tie up some storylines right quick.

They should really show his flagship, "Silence." He has some pretty creepy ideas about ship management.

Hitler's worst memory was a Jew bumping into him at a cafe? That's actually pretty hilarious.

Randall Tarly would have to call his bannermen and quell the other houses until he secured Highgarden and the Reach for House Tarly. It wouldn't be easy at all. Especially if he ponied up and said he is following Cersei as Queen when everyone knows she killed their liege lord.

Eruon's totally going to get BBQ'd. I'd like to think that Euron is the one who shows the world that magic is real and a force once again before he does. He's clearly the last human villain before all eyes are on the Night King.

I was under the impression that book version dragons were intelligent beasts. But still beasts and Valyria used binding horns and shit to tame them.
