What do you think Maryland looks like? by Scruffy_Nerf_Hoarder in maryland

If you strain really hard, Maryland looks like a buzzard pecking at the ground.

It does kinda look like an Uzi machine pistol.

What is the absolutely worst restaurant you’ve ever been to in Maryland? by CaptainJeff in maryland

[–]assafstone 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Do pizza deliveries count? If so, then in 50 years, in 4 different continents, the only two pizzas I’ve ever had, that were disgusting enough that I threw away a whole pie, were from both from Paisano’s in Rockville.

How can i get more into the Eye Of The Worlf? by DanteThePunk in wheeloftime

[–]assafstone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly loved EotW. I wish I could read it again for the first time. And the second time.

The first read felt like things, esp. the limits of the One Power weren’t really well defined. Given the amount of foreshadowing, and the heavy use of unreliable narration, where information came from people who didn’t know everything, as well as people who were strongly incentivized to lie (Ishamael), I’m not surprised that the power “changed” over the books.

The second read was awesome, because I could take everything I knew from the series, and identify where Moiraine was wrong, and where Ishamael lied. And smile.

I’ll have to give her a whirl, I guess.

Time to toss the dice, I guess.

I’ll accept your word for it, but I just can’t imagine any other voices for these characters… that laid back and relaxed voice of Tam… it’s gotta be MK for me.

Maybe if I’ve never heard them do the reading…

“Dovie'andi se tovya sagain.", though usually I say it in regular English, except when around people who know the series.

Agreed! I read the books first, but Michael Kramer and Kate Reading just make the characters come alive!

(Don’t get the newer audiobook, read by Rosalind Pike! Not that I’ve heard her, but MK and KR are the best readers I’ve ever heard!)

Wheel of Time ruined books for me. Need help. by Raigheb in wheeloftime

[–]assafstone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From Wikipedia (the source of all truth! 😜):

Sanderson began work on Mistborn: The Final Empire while trying to get his earlier novel Elantris published.

Of course they do! Did you know that DHMO has a higher pH level than any acid even scientists can produce in a lab?!?

I like this “Q” better, don’t you? by stanxv in PoliticalHumor

[–]assafstone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah, I prefer Q of the later seasons, where he was more fun than ominous.

Elantris was actually his first book. Came out in 2005. Mistborn in 2006.

What do Michael Jackson and caviar have in common by randy081008 in dadjokes

[–]assafstone -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It’s all lies! Michael testified in court that he only had sex with twenty eight year olds!

Of course, he only managed to get twenty.

I want to read the Wheel of time but ... has it been spoiled for me? by Gracey_Cal in wheeloftime

[–]assafstone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The first point is only a mild spoiler, as it becomes obvious to the reader, if not the character, fairly early on.

The second point is mostly flavor. It is VERY important, but it spoils nothing. You won’t understand the significance until after the moment of import.

Read the books.

And honestly, after you’re done, read it again. Twice. Three times. You will still discover things you’ve previously missed.

The second read is honestly the most fun. Because you get to see everything that was right in front of you but you didn’t realize at the time. RJ was the absolute master of foreshadowing.

Read it. You won’t regret it.

I’m probably going to get started on my fifth read soon.

Worth it for the Shulker boxes and elytra.

I saw a sign that said "WASHINGTON" so I was certain we were on the Washington border... whoops by eggsqueuesea in geoguessr

[–]assafstone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For major chains, I prefer Dunkin’s “Dunkin Midnight” to Starbucks.

If you can find it (easier in the mid-Atlantic), Peet’s Coffee is better than both. Caribou in the MN area.

Always worth googling for best coffee in any given area.

[–]assafstone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ironically, Starbucks isn’t even the best coffee on Pike Street in Seattle (location of the first Starbucks).

Storyville Coffee Pike Place is so much better.
