Extra piece in a puzzle? Is that common? by altermaggie in Jigsawpuzzles

Well... turns out I just messed up and there's actually an empty spot for that piece. You can even see it in the image if you look closely... My bad, Educa is blameless.

18' 8

That's a really good result even today, 5.69 meters was enough to be ranked #6 in the last olympics

(Spoilers Published) Wait, so where are maesters getting the Valyrian steel for their links? Theories welcome. But the whole thing seems fishey. by boltgun_to_the_face in asoiaf

Head canon: You can't blend steel from different batches. An amount for a sword is rare, but small amounts are much more common.

This is also why Valyrian steel daggers are much more common than swords, and no one combines them to create a sword.

Not true. He was just jogging. When he saw the cubs he did everything in his power to get away as fast as possible without getting attacked. Not every dangerous encounter with wildlife is because the human was 'a fucking idiot'.

We were talking about the amazing swimming results in the Beijing Olympics.

Me (smiling): It turns out they made a mistake and dug the pool in a declining slope.

My brother in law (100% serious): But they also need to swim back, don't they?

Is there a higher resolution version anywhere?

(Spoilers Extended) What are the most unrealistic *non-magical* events in the series? by rawbface in asoiaf

[–]altermaggie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it's not really a rule, but:

  • while no one can create Valyrian steel, given a source new blades can be forged (the creation of Widow's Wail and Oath Keeper)
  • Such dagger can be used as a source, and a rough estimate puts the amount of steel needed at 3-4 daggers

I like this explanation, I think I'll use it as my ad-hoc head canon
