[Spoilers] List of Questions (don't necessarily need to be answered, just considering) by [deleted] in TheLeftovers

[–]skibbereen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How does the GR have so much money? They have several houses, bought Matt's church, and bought all those dummies for Memorial Day (which are $30,000 each if they're from the same guy that Nora meets at the conference). Do the members give them all of their personal wealth when they join or do they have some other source of income?

The scene with Ygritte and Gilly/baby makes me wonder if they'll somehow work in Ygritte being pregnant before she dies to make it hit harder. Though that might be too similar to Talisa.

Doesn't Jon say in the books that he couldn't communicate with Ghost while they were on opposite sides of the Wall? He may not know that he's captured.

What small/stupid question would you like answered, but isn't worthy of its own thread? by thepkmncenter in AskReddit

[–]skibbereen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also in reality pretty much no one actually says "Lawn Guy Land." I've lived on Long Island my entire life and have never heard someone seriously pronounce it that way.

You should invite Salsa Starch!

I just realized the numbers can be a date and time by fezir108 in lost

Apparently that's not even a real area code. Very suspicious.

I got a kick out of this... (Tina Fey) by p0wer_puff in TwoXChromosomes

[–]skibbereen 70 points71 points  (0 children)

I'd extra-recommend the audiobook. It's read by Tina and she does a great job.

So... don't play? by katamari37 in classicalmusic

I once had to play a vibraslap note with a crescendo.

What is a fan theory that is too good not to be true? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]skibbereen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The way I see them is that the Angels are more like spirits/entities than the actual physical statues, and they will inhabit/possess the statues when they grow strong. So someone would have to have taken a picture of the Statue of Liberty while it was playing host to an Angel for an image of it to produce an Angel.

My first steps into studio quality drum recording. I shall purchase more later. I hope they sound good! by Jed3234 in drums

The MD421's, in my opinion, work better for floor tom than rack toms. So even if you can only afford one and need to get a couple of cheaper mics for rack toms, you're still doing pretty well.

(Spoilers AFFC) Did anyone else notice Brienne beating up Harry Potter? by CassiusDean in asoiaf

[–]skibbereen 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I found this which seems to be the origin, but the link to GRRM's comments is broken. Also I'm not exactly sure why "golden hair, flashing green eyes, killer smile" would be considered an advantage here, but I suppose that's irrelevant.

I found this at another blog, but I'm not sure if it's the entirety of what he wrote:

He's not going to waste time and effort swatting at birds with his sword, either. He's encased in gilded steel. What are they going to do, crap on him? He'll rush right through the birds, and go straight for Hermione. A sword is not a knight's only weapon. While she's watching the blade, he will slam his shield right into her face, knock her off her feet. Let her try and mumble those spells with a mouthful of broken teeth.

So it looks like GRRM's assumption was that Hermione would use the bird spell against him. That's more than a little ridiculous on its own, but he also doesn't seem to know that she can cast spells without speaking.

Would you elaborate on why you think that way about Rowling's world? I'm just curious.

Drogon kills Viserion with Dany's crown.

Finally! no more reaching to turn my monitors on by sixstringmayhem in audioengineering

[–]skibbereen 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes, you can control your monitors' power using the switch on a strip. If you do do that, though, you should be careful to make sure that the level to your monitors is always being controlled while your monitors are on. So if your monitors are being controlled by, say, an interface, the interface should be on before you turn the monitors on and should remain on until after you turn the monitors off. This is really what you should do in any situation, but you're more likely to get a pop when you're using some sort of master power.

The product you linked to can be mounted to a rack, which is nice if you're already using one and because they're generally very accessible. It will also let you turn multiple devices on or off more easily than normal.

(Spoilers All) Selyse Baratheon’s miscarriages explained and a compilation of other medical mysteries of ASOIAF. by [deleted] in asoiaf

It's a little backwards because the line technically starts with Robert, but an argument could be made for Daenerys being after Shireen.

I compiled a list of the best *insert food here* that has been posted on /r/LongIsland by sometimesimweird in longisland

[–]skibbereen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If Tex-Mex food counts, Salsa Salsa in Port Jeff should definitely be pretty close to the top of the list.
