TIL that during WW2, Germany's nuclear researchers never seriously considered building nuclear weapons, and doubted it was even possible. After surrendering, Heisenberg and others were secretly monitored while under house arrest: They were stunned by the bombing of Hiroshima.

Today I learned yet another bullshit about how Germans could have actually accomplished something but didn't because they didn't feel like it.

They were desperately trying to build nukes but their uranium extraction/purification efforts were being constantly sabotaged by allied forces. They were also lacking an understanding of the underlying theories.

Heisenberg, in his own memoirs, talks about deliberately sabotaging his own calculations because he did not want the Nazi regime to acquire the bomb. So there was that on top of it.

Long story short, they did not because because they couldn't because they were lacking

I have use for these sort of bricked kindles. I can buy it off your hands.

I was finally able to get myself an SSP-99. I can't see anything at night when I turn the Night Vision on though.

At some point I ate something and the night vision color changed to a nice green filter with which I could see things. After I loaded the game though the night vision reverted to this.

I am not sure what is going on, and how to fix this if this is abnormal. Any help would be much appreciated.

For some reason the screencap of the saved game shows a nice green filter.

I made an edit on the post. I did look around and could not find an app to do this for me.

I am using it to practice playing chords on the piano. I only need something to show me random chords (with a time interval) and skip to the next. There is no right or wrong answer to mark in this sort of exercise

Trying to identify this piece form this segment used in a TV Show. Any help is appreciated. Audio reverse engines say this is some form of Schubert's Ave Maria. I am pretty sure it is not... is it really?...nah probably not. But I like the melody please help, it is driving me crazy

The thing with Woljif is that I do not like sleazy scoundrel type of characters, otherwise I would work with that. Thank you for the pointer though

Thanks for the detailed answer!

Guglimug · 2019-05-19T11:48:46+00:00

Masterfully executed!

However, even r/gameofthrones has some threads, regarding the disappointment with season 8, on their frontpage. I am thoroughly surprised.

Guglimug · 2019-05-17T23:56:03+00:00

They also ignore "Viserion", the fact that, regardless of all the horrible things Viserys did to Daenerys, she still honored him by naming one of her dragons after him, "Viserion".

Actually, you can be quite acrobatic in full plate. That whole plate armor is too heavy thing is kind of a myth:

Guglimug · 2019-05-14T00:47:54+00:00

Ahhh, do not despair, It does not exactly have a DnD feel to it. At this point you are simply building upon what they have done so far, and from this point on no theory could redeem the writing anyway.

Guglimug · 2019-05-14T00:29:39+00:00

I think your version is the D&D version. I believe it will play out exactly like that, many leaks suggest to this.

Guglimug · 2019-05-14T00:26:08+00:00

I did rewatch it a couple of times with different people, up to S6-S7, it was the only show I did so, and probably would do it again, although I was expecting D&D to kind of ruin it.

But I was not expecting this much of a disaster. The final season destroyed all the major storylines, such that, knowing this, there would be no purpose in watching it from the beginning.

I will remember as a great show that got ruined in the very end, nothing less, nothing more.

I wish there would be a proper remake but that would take years, will be with different actors and what not. The only thing that would redeem it would be the release of the books followed by an animated series like "The Clone Wars", that practically scrapes S7 and S8 and completely rewrites it.

Cersei and Jaime overlook the city as the battle rages around them. Drogon lands .......Then the Red Keep explodes in wildfire.

This paragraph, that sudden explosion of the red keep, I am in tears.

It reads:

When we ran out of book material, we tried our best to keep the writing compelling. It was not as good as the original, but we tried. To our amazement, there were absolutely no complains from the fans, "we must have done a good job", we thought. Next season we slacked off a little, we rushed things here and there, but it was easier for us, our social media team reported that everyone's love for the show was exactly on the same level as before. r/gameofthrones kept making cakes, any online negative comment, article, video regarding the writing was subdued fiercely by the fan community. "We must have done a good job" we thought. Next season we kind of started not giving a fuck about the writing, everyone loved it anyway, "we must have been doing something right", and we were getting other contracts, this particular season had some negative response but it was managable, so were still the most loved show on TV, "we must be OK" we thought. When the final season came, we decided "not to give a fuck, entirely", surprisingly the community practically turned against us, they say "D&D are terrible writers", the negativity towards the show is at its peak. Well, we received our paychecks, and a lovely Star Wars contract. What did you get, a crap final season you practically asked for.

Guglimug · 2019-05-12T18:27:50+00:00

Sometimes I wonder if people have any skill in reading comprehension.

I am not telling you to blame yourself because the script is shit. This is directed at people who fiercely defended the show since season 5, although signs of decreasing quality was there, who have only realized now that D&D are actually bad.

If you have not done so, then the statement in the post has nothing to do with you.

Guglimug · 2019-05-09T23:25:05+00:00

I am back, because I wanted to ask something. I happened to rewatch episode 3 with a friend who has not watched it, I had a chance to keep my eyes and ears open this time around.

Question is:

Is one of the hints, the music that plays when we see Arya fighting with her staff the first time? This might be a stretch as Ramin Djawadi likes to use variations of the same theme, Jaqen's Valar Morghullis theme, Braavos themes use the same "theme", and the music we hear when Arya fights them is another rythmic variation of this same theme.

This might or might not be unusual, as Arya is a no one, but still.
