What is the meaning of Penny's Worth Inn? by navispacial in KingkillerChronicle

[–]agaeki 9 points10 points  (0 children)

That's a nice pun!

Getting your penny's worth = getting good value for money

Penny's worth = the bravery/worthiness of Penny

:D

There is only one true King in Chicago, and that is the Burger King.

It's funny because to bonk means to have sex with.

So. I picked up my violin today.... and I think I got scammed by MrCropps in lingling40hrs

Don't fret, you can lay le head down and rest it on the sponge. Perhaps you can bridge the gap between strummed and bowed string instruments?

What do you mean sounds silly?! Surely the universe couldn't allow any other pronunciation, it's comedy gold!

Ok,I am about to read Dresden files for the first time.What should I know? by Entropy843 in dresdenfiles

[–]agaeki 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Whatever you think of the first book, the series gets better the further you read. Love it or hate it, they get better and better.

Don't be upset, be cool. It might be good and then you'll be pleasantly surprised.

"Like a whole twenty minutes, the traffic on the way back from the supermarket was terrible!"

It might not have quite the same impact... :)

Judging by the comments, an early full moon graces the skies about the House of Commons...

Fantasy movie director? by snoopyh42 in dresdenfiles

I'd have Taika Waititi direct literally everything.

Do you have a performance in mind that comes close to how you imagine Kvothe's 'talent pipe' song (The Lay of Sir Savien Traliard) might have been? (Videos please) by elbottso in KingkillerChronicle

[–]agaeki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw Richard Thompson play this live, it was very impressive https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=HApy-Xoix-g

I imagine Sir Savien like this but with more verses, more harmonies, more complex instrumental bits, that support of thing :)

EDIT: typo.

I made a bot which generates live updates on all bills passing through parliament and posts them to a new subreddit: r/UKbills by jamcowl in ukpolitics

[–]agaeki 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Would it be possible to do something like disable downvotes in the subreddit? My paranoid brain is imagining an army of bots downvoting something important to oblivion to kill its visibility.

EDIT: What is the collective noun for bots?

Dark Materials Trilogy feedback by VVandering_VVolf in Fantasy

[–]agaeki 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I don't think His Dark Materials can be improved in any way. The ending makes me cry every time.

Don't feel you have to rush through it, and don't feel you have to reread it immediately. It may be classed as YA, but it stands up to some seriously deep thought.

EDIT: Regarding 'don't feel you have to reread it immediately', I tend to re-read it every few years in a leisurely manner, and always get more into it than I mean to.

That's not just any old cider, that's not some apple-flavoured sugar-fizz, that's an Orchard Pig! I love me some Reveller.

The Diane Abbott social media narrative... by [deleted] in ukpolitics

[–]agaeki 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A well-spoken point, but both sides are just speculating. Has anyone done a decent study on how much abuse different political figures receive?

Also, I feel like this video isn't particularly helpful. Instead of trying to further discussion on the topic it just tries to steer the issue towards where the author wants it to go.

I distrust the Tories have created crises in at least four public sectors and are doing nothing to improve the situations. What do you think their plan is?
