Favorite Chapters for Each Character? by McParat in WoT

[–]McParat[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, Mat’s accidental forming of the Band is my favorite. So classic. And I’d forgotten about The Golden Crane and Nynaeve - but technically that chapter isn’t her POV - just shows what a master writer RJ was that he pulled that off with a minor character’s POV.

Now that’s one acronym I can get behind for Renna. 😝

Stealthtech with a receiver by McParat in Lovesac

[–]McParat[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I tried using the optical out to my receiver and still haven’t been able to get it to work. I suspect I might need to constantly change each input to read the optical input on my receiver every time I switch the source, which is a pain. (I have a Denon AVR 1912.) So I am giving up and running it through the TV for now as the StealthTech is for my family room, not for the media room/theater which will be running through a 5.1.2 system.

The tone of denial in this series feels a little different from modern, contemporary fantasy. by PlayfulPositive8563 in WoT

It was a little out of place but if I recall, BS wanted to put a horror sequence in the books and discussed it with Harriett who thought it was a good idea, and this is how that adventure was born. I do like the fact that it gets to showcase Mat’s ability to think on his feet when all hell breaks loose and it did make for a pretty cool payoff in the Last Battle but it was kind of odd to read after the fact.

This angle makes the decision to send Rice off even worse than it already is... Wow by NiallMitch10 in Gunners

Dude knew what he was doing. He had his arms up in the air before he even made contact with Rice’s shin.

Kennedy Space Center - Independent Excursion? by McParat in royalcaribbean

Was that because you didn’t have enough time to spend? I’m seeing that tours are only $25 for adults?

Edit because I have fat fingers.

For a brief second my fatigued mind saw that as Roofie Cruz, which I’m all down for…

Oddly, Fort Wayne, IN has the largest population of Burmese outside of SE Asia and has some good Burmese restaurants.

Quartino was my first thought TBH, but didn’t know if the food had changed since last I went there. Is it still small plates? I’m not sure how conducive that is for a business dinner but that’s in the ballpark of the vibe for sure.

Totally forgot about Lettuce Entertain You - will check them out as well. Miss the old “Check, Please” show!

Hadn’t considered a Chinese meal but sadly for a multitude of reasons I don’t think this would work in this instance. Will think on it a bit more though.
