TY for reintroducing me to The Land gang. This is good shit. I know @Ukerric brought it up a while ago but mentioned it as, "meh." So I had put it off.

wtf are whisps... I'll have to pick some up from the store next time I go since you losers rave so hard about them.

Someone will have to enlighten me as to why GRRM has a such a hardon for the Scouring of the Shire. I absolutely hated that shit in LOTR.

He's gone baby. You sure can get rid of Winter is Coming and decades of buildup (if you include the books) in a single episode. The book won't be much different. Really a lot of us saw some bullshit like that happening.

Yeah that's a no go for me lol. Freezing my ass off for some BBQ isn't happening.

I finished one of my first major tasks at this new job and in so doing discovered a massive, but cool, problem we need to solve. However the people I need to sign off on it before I can push to production have been telling me they're busy all week and we want to close the task out today. Dumb...

It was the Business Intelligence Analyst Course on Udemy. The first part of it goes over all the buzzwords for BI jobs and then explains in detail how they all overlap and what they are and aren't. Especially hilarious because the actual unique qualities of those jobs are essentially nonexistent.

While I too liked broiled sausages just try steaming them. You won't regret it. I'm a huge fan of steaming though. Which really isn't a component of American cooking. Need to look to our eastern friends for the versatility of steaming food.

Yeah I'll find it today. Pretty sure I found i on Linkedin Learning. So it might not be public but will try to find it.

I watched a video about shit like this and its essentially due to the HR and whatnot operating on buzzwords without really understanding what they are actually meaning. Which is why Business Intelligence for example has way more titles than even Software Engineering despite all of them mostly...

Those setups always look cool to have but unless you live in SoCal or someplace nice like that you are going to be restricted in how much you can even use it. If it can only be used 1/3 or 1/4 of the year due to weather just seems like a huge waste. Even here in Austin it would only be good for...

Carole and Tuesday is also top quality shit bruhs. Been a long time since I had like 4 series to watch in a season. OPM Fruits Basket Carole and Tuesday Demon Hunter Shield Hero carryover. EDIT: Carole and Tuesday is high quality stuff man. Interesting story, top quality animation. It's up...

Seems to be the case lol.

Steam sausages. They always have the perfect snap this way.

While that tattoo is objectively cool looking the shoulder upper titty tattoos are pretty trashy shit.

Yes.

Just. Why?

If you want to be technical what you need to do is measure the gravity of the cider before and after it's done fermenting. You can tell it's done fermenting when the bubbliness subsides, as this is the yeast turning the cider to alcohol. For these it takes two to three weeks. If you want to make...

OPM is falling into the dumb fighting trope of filler shit where nothing happens. I am disappoint. Daemon Maester Hunter is where it's at this season.

I literally told you the recipe @Fogel

It can be had at Walmart these days. Super inexpensive and versatile. I recommend always having it on hand. I make a lot of sauces with it.

I gave up brewing beer. I don't drink enough and its a pretty time intensive, all day process. Cider however is the bees knees because it takes seconds of prep. This fruit wine too.

I am too lazy to test the gravity which would indicate its alcohol content. But generally it is 5-6%. There are some brewer tricks to get it up to like 8% if you really wanted. But it would also make it much more dry.

Look dude. I don't even drink wine 9 times out of 10 lol. I sure as shit don't drink sangria. This is some blackberry starter from Oregon.

Sorry this shit was on my phone so its easier this way.

Summer fruit wine is my woman's request. Never done it before but it's currently fermenting in the second bathroom as it requires a lower temperature (68-72) for some reason. Wine had some kind of concentrated starter (mix starter with 4 gallons of pure water) I put into a 5 gallon glass wide...

Yeah a few mushrooms and green onions are okay but you can overdo it. A pound of spinach is good enough in my testing. Sauteed or steam mushroom is better just on the side.

Sauteed 1lb of spinach and put it in a casserole dish. Mix in 12-14 eggs seasoned with salt, pepper and oregano to taste. Add in 6 oz feta. I put a thin layer of parmesan/Moz on top for the nice bake effect as feta won't do that. Cook at 350 for 40 mins. I also made gochujang chicken. If you...

It was even retarded in the setting. They make it a point that the Valyrians never rode Dragons into battle. They just commanded them via magic and shit. When the Targaeryns conquered Westeros they did it this way. But it looks cool on TV yah!?

There is absolutely 100% no fucking way GRRM started with that in mind. You don't foreshadow the long forgotten enemy in the fucking prologue like that just to make it not a big deal in the final book lol. That just sort of happened over the years of him writing mostly unrelated (but good) shit,

I don't think I was ever able to down that much food. The one exception being pizza which is why I so rarely buy or make it. I can destroy a family pizza in one sitting without even blinking. But I make sure whenever I do I use the glorious carb load to bike 50+ miles the next morning.

Pretty sure we discussed this in length previously but this has been my thought. There are two kinds of writers in the world. Keep in mind these are extremely, extremely broad categories or a huge spectrum. You have dudes like Stephen King, who are prolific because they simply write a story...

Book has the Black Flame and the Central Church of light if you will who were all capable of foreseeing the future and some pyromancy tricks and shit. Lord of Light definitely is the only God who shows his power so openly.

Jaime is going to kill Cersei before she can wildfire King's Landing just like he did to the Mad King.

All I got is that the Night King was essentially a superweapon created by the Children of the Forest to kill off the First Men. It got out of hand but Brann is the only remaining practitioner of the magic that created him. Also the keeper of all the long forgotten lore via TreeNet. Not that that...

Started two batches of summer cider and a summer fruit wine last night. Should be good. Even though I'll have like 8 gallons of the stuff. Made a Greek Egg Feta, Spinach Casserole for some work lunches this week which turned out amazingly well and both super cheap and easy to do.

Tiamat's Wrath suffers from the same thing the Xeelee Sequence will suffer from but it won't have the logical payoff either (Xeelees were right and humans were retards the whole time).

Just finished book 7 of Critical Failures. That is one quality series bros. The bard's rise to fame as a Neil Diamond cover artist just fucking cracks me up. Denise the over the top racist cop in a fantasy world is A++ and constantly delivers. Something about calling Drow, "american inventor...

There was no need to since we saw Qyburn make The Mountain into something else and, "heal" him explicitly. Robert Strong was just a ruse to hide that because the use of black magic and shit is extremely frowned upon in Westeros even by those who know it exists. In the book world anyway. But it...

Hot damn Demon Hunter has some exceptional animation quality. Pretty interesting when they combine the ancient Japan artstyle with the water blade and whatnot. Really digging it.
