I think I made it to book 5 before I quit the wheel of time. The characters stupidity was just too grating.
Its the same reason I just cant re-read Song of Ice and Fire anymore. In book 1 I just start screaing to ned stark to not do it... but yeah...
I'm on book 4 now, I may or may not make it to the end.
Not gonna lie, if/when Martin ever finishes aSoIaF, I'm going to reread it straight thru like I'm doing with WoT. Or at least try to.
Also, Mrs Sunrise and I may or may not be starting the GoT show tonight!!! She has not read the books, and I can't wait to see her reaction.

I refuse to finish aSoIaF.
If Terry Pratchett could, while suffering from early onset alzheimer's, write two books a year of epic quality, that lazy ass Martin can finish one book in a f#$$ing decade, instead of trolling his fans on Twitter with "X more characters I'm spending writing something besides my finale". F~&@ing dick.
I know one person's lack of continuance means nothing to him, but it's the principal of the situation.

Isn't 24 h too long to cook a turkey?
YES. A lengthy, low-temp cooking process is precisely what a food dehydrator does... it's basically making jerky. And it makes me want to shank someone.
And she honestly believes it's the only way to get a tender, juicy turkey.
Cooking has never been her strong suit.
Turkey is a bit dry for my tastes, the last time I stir fried it with sweet peas and Sze chuan chilli peppers. Tasted like chicken.

It's easy to dry it out, and that is not good turkey. Good turkey is very moist.
Yes, there is still a comparison to chicken, but turkey prepared well does have a different flavor.

I did things in the wrong order. Math is important. Order of operations has to be followed or you get the wrong thing.
Dinner first. Then have a drink.
I failed order of operations.
One of my favorite "tutoring" sessions with Impus Major was when he was curious about order of operations: "Why do they work that way?"
"Oh, mathematicians just all decided to do it that way.""What do you mean? Isn't there some deep underlying concept?"
"No; it's kind of like driving on the right side of the road in the U.S. No laws of physics force you to do it, but if you start doing it any differently you're going to wind up in a marvelous universe of trouble..."

and you shouldn't excuse yourself for being exhausted, we all got thought that once in while.
And if you ever feel like talking about things - good or bad - I'll venture that you could find someone here who's willing to listen.*Pats Woran on the shoulder and offers a hug*
Thank you! Its pretty much all been done except the actual signing of the contract, but I doubt they will pull back at the last minute, as they were the ones to contact me in the first place.

Please no.
The war between the book fans and the tv fans will never abate at this rate.

No, a red Schwinn, with a basket.
She'll start walking as soon as it starts getting icy but she still walks the bike trail, on account of having miles and miles of bike trails.

We started the final race of the season for my Formula De league tonight. My driver that is tied for the lead in points started in 2nd place (the guy he is tied with won pole position, dammit), and my other driver started in 9th. When we stopped tonight, about halfway through, my driver that started in 2nd had fallen to 10th (aka last), but clawed his way back to 7th, while the one who started in 9th has made it all the way up to 4th. In order to have a chance of winning the championship, I need my driver (in 7th) to finish in at least 6th place. So it will be interesting to see how things pan out when we reconvene in two weeks to finish it.

Is this like fantasy football but for racing?

Twin daggers (me) had the better of it)Aren't there issues involving reach you have to get around when dealing with longer range weapons like Tomahawks? I thought historically reach was quite a big thing, that's why people used polearms.
Tomahawks aren't that long - maybe 40-50cm? Not very much longer than a good-sized dagger, anyway...

There is a technical advantage - you seem to have a slight edge in terms of range and speed when using something light & thrusty vs. something heavier and cuttier. Also, my opponent kept tangling one dagger with his tomahawk and pulling me in, forgetting that I had a longish stabby boi in my other hand...
