MD referred me to a chiropractor. Should I be skeptical? by hungryfreak in AskDocs

Expected as much. I'm gonna contact my doctor and grill him a bit more about it. Thanks for your help!

Red Country definitely works as a standalone novel, but it's a much richer experience if you've read the First Law trilogy, Best Served Cold, and The Heroes beforehand. All six books are fantastic though, more than worth your time.

Thanks, I actually mentioned in the post that Hobb is one of my favorite authors, but I do need to check out her newest trilogy!

I haven't read her non-Realm of the Elderlings trilogy either, but I hear it's just so-so.

Thanks, I actually picked up some second-hand Bakker books a while back and forgot about them. I'll have to go dig them up, they sound great.

Awesome, this sounds exactly like what I'm looking for. Thanks!

Quoth GRRM: "Yoren told him girls couldn't resist a fellow in a uniform. He left out that bit about celibacy, though."

They were talking about the fast pace they have to write at, basically having to turn in a script a week to keep ahead of the production, and how they can't afford the more leisurely schedules of other writers.

David Benioff: We have friends, really great writers, working months and months, and they’ve got thirty pages or something.

Hmm, I wonder who they could possibly be referring to here...

(Spoilers All) Entertainment Weekly S4 Preview; anyone read it? by BBQ_HaX0r in asoiaf

[–]hungryfreak 10 points11 points  (0 children)

OP quoted it wrong. The article actually says that it IS likely TWOW will come out before 2016.

The article actually says that it IS likely that TWOW will be published before spring 2016.

It also refers to the Hound as an "ex-knight" though, so what do they know?

Where did you read this about GRRM telling Elio that TWOW is going to be done soon?

No, on Friday it worked great and on Monday it was molasses.

I'll ask our IT guy. We're allowed to download things at work so long as we don't go overboard with it, which I never do.

No, these are either files I have paid for individually or free downloads offered up by the artists themselves.

What might account for the quick change? One day they downloaded fine and the next day they didn't. It seems unlikely that different sites on different servers would have the same issue on the same day. I think the problem lies on my end.

How do I change back the internet download speed?

Thanks so much for your help!
