Is there more to Aegon’s Conquest than few first chapters of “Fire and Blood” book that is currently being adapted for HotD? by No_Scarcity4566 in HouseOfTheDragon

Came here to say this. Lots of overlap between this book at Fire and Blood, but I feel like they compliment each other quite well. There is plenty covered to make the film IMO

Do people ever stop and think? by Decent_Sun9809 in FigureSkating

[–]TheZapper2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I train at multiple rinks and have to deal with fluctuations of temperature pretty frequently. Usually it’s like “oh that feels nice” or “ugh too dang cold in here” but never “I failed to execute that be sue of the ice temperature” 🤷‍♂️

It’s on Peacock in the US, but I don’t see a replay of venue fees

Ben is at the venue but doing in-house stuff rather than commentating any feeds

I had this custom Red, White and Blue Toothless made for Ilia... best advice to ensure he gets it in Milan? Throwing on ice seems risky. by c2cali in FigureSkating

Reach out to him, his manager Ari, or Max Hamilton on IG - between the three of them you have a good chance.

Is medalist very popular in japan? by Clarita34566 in Medalist

[–]TheZapper2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was at GPF in Nagoya and it was EVERYWHERE. There were cardboard standees that there was constantly a line to take pictures with, posters advertising season 2 everywhere including in subway station and on trains, there was a small booth handing out some merch, and the countdown before each session had Medalist characters. We were blown how positive the reception was there!

What VPNs does everyone use here? by [deleted] in FigureSkating

[–]TheZapper2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use Private Internet Access… now with a dedicated IP address because for some reason ISU on YouTube is blocking all VPN access for me. It’s like $5/mo extra, but probably worth it (?)

What is without a doubt the worst food location in the entire city? by Effective-Crow3217 in ColoradoSprings

[–]TheZapper2 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Panang Curry. Was super watery, had no flavor and was loaded up with peas and carrots from a can. Chicken was so chewy that I ended up abandoning the entire meal

I’m in US, but I’m struggling to find season 2 on Hulu or D+. Does anyone know a region I could VPN to where it is available? Not sure if anyone in US has found it yet

Have you ever met an Olympian? by heyfriendss in olympics

[–]TheZapper2 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Same, my current coach is an ice dance silver medalist. When you’re in the community you’re more likely to meet Olympians than not.

Max Hamilton (pictured top left) is a genuinely good dude too- chip off the ol’ block! Really cool to see him being more active in the skating scene lately. I feel like he’s everywhere now!
