@Skooba @Möoz @amflare y’all are allowed to talk while the Euros are asleep y’know?

TheLethalCarrot

09:34

Damn it Ed, editing a question right after I answer it with the edit I wanted to make :P

Edlothiad

Pretty sure that's a dupe

TheLethalCarrot

A quick search doesn't turn up anything

Edlothiad

At least the same answer as yours exists elsewhere

TheLethalCarrot

Again I didn't see any

This answer is related but not dupe

Edlothiad

I know you didn't see any, you already said that, lol

Also "New prototype" what does that even mean?

TheLethalCarrot

09:41

I think the OP means newer than the sleeker design

Edlothiad

I have this perfectly working tool, now I'm going to make a prototype of a new one?

TheLethalCarrot

My PC works perfectly but I'd still want some more RAM/better CPU so it works better

Edlothiad

But you wouldn't "prototype" a new computer

TheLethalCarrot

You would if you redesigned it from scratch

Edlothiad

Does the fin look like a redesign from scratch?

TheLethalCarrot

09:44

No but we don't know how it works

Maybe the sleeker one was made for him and the first one he tried to make was the shark one

Edlothiad

It slots right into where the old one was, sounds like it works pretty identical

TheLethalCarrot

We really don't have enough information to deduce either way

I am with you that I believe it's older but that doesn't mean it is

TheLethalCarrot

12:57

Slow day

Kepotx

@TheLethalCarrot is it really ASOIAF tag ?

TheLethalCarrot

D&E? Yeah ASOIAF is the universe tag too

That's how we're using it at the moment anyway

Kepotx

I mean, i thoght ASOIAF was AGOT, ACOK and so, but not D&E novels

ok, i suppose thee is to few D&E question to make a specific tag

TheLethalCarrot

Well at the moment we use ASOIAF as a universe tag, if there comes a need we can create a D&E tag too

Though it would be tagged with ASOIAF and the dD&E tag

Edlothiad

@TheLethalCarrot easy with the edits

TheLethalCarrot

13:11

I've done like 6 or 7 odd

Edlothiad

Just cuz they all came flooding in at once

and in case you were planning to do 68

TheLethalCarrot

No I did 4 haha

Edlothiad

I'd rather pipe up after 4 then after 53 and be like "bruh..."

Also burying my freshly answered question =.=

TheLethalCarrot

I was cleaning up GRRM Q's that aren't tagged ASOIAF or GoT

And created a tag for The Thousand Worlds

@Edlothiad Woops

Can't believe me guardians answer has gone unloved too :(

Edlothiad

I've removed the grrm tag from all those, because they're not very relevant

TheLethalCarrot

13:13

Oh yeah forgot to remove GRRM :P

Edlothiad

@TheLethalCarrot Don't forget wikis, and leave a mistake ;)

TheLethalCarrot

Yeah I'm looking into exactly what TTW is before I write one haha

I've never read them but I've been meaning to create the tag for some time now

Edlothiad

Tag wiki excerpt should be reasonably easy, Tag wiki just an outline of who, what, when, what it consists of, little side info, done.

Maybe some cover art or something.

TheLethalCarrot

Yeah just having a google

The best source for the collection I've found is a YouTube video but it's been taken down due to copyright -_-

Edlothiad

Not on wiki?

Nope nothing...

TheLethalCarrot

13:26

I think the name was given to the books after the fact

Edlothiad

hur dur

TheLethalCarrot

Not a very good wiki but it's a start

Roses are red, Rhaegar is dead

TheLethalCarrot

Lol saw that earlier too

Edlothiad

0.0

Not my favourite one, but the other is not exactly tasteful

screw it I'm posting it, it's a quote from the show.

Roses are red, in spring flowers bloom

I thought this was hilarious...

TheLethalCarrot

13:34

Hahaha that ones better

Edlothiad

And according to my English teacher, "If it's a direct quote it can't be offensive" so...

TheLethalCarrot

Yup as long as you're quoting everything should be fine

Edlothiad

@TheLethalCarrot So I can post the full lyrics to F*ck the Police by NWA?

TheLethalCarrot

Lol

Q: Does A Song of Ice and Fire take place in The Thousand Worlds?

Before writing A Song of Ice and Fire George R. R. Martin had written a series of science fiction stories that ended up all taking place in the same universe later titled The Thousand Worlds. Do the A Song of Ice and Fire stories take place in the same universe? Has George ever commented on this...

Edlothiad

13:42

Did you forget the self answer checkbox exists, also questionable use of the grrm tag.

TheLethalCarrot

I was 50/50 about including it

And no

I was just finishing off writing the answer up when I posted

Edlothiad

Ah

TheLethalCarrot

I was also in two minds about letting someone else answer it but I thought "Nah screw 'em! It's mine! IT'S ALL MINE!"

Edlothiad

TheLethalCarrot

lol

Edlothiad

13:55

19 upvotes to go today to counteract my downvote.

TheLethalCarrot

Oh to cap?

Edlothiad

TheLethalCarrot

Not far then haha

Edlothiad

only 181 rep to go!

I also hit double Epic yesterday! Only 1 more to go...

TheLethalCarrot

double Epic?

Edlothiad

13:57

100 rep caps

took 5 months for the second 50, that's so long...

TheLethalCarrot

Oh I get what you mean now

Edlothiad

It's one of those statements where if you're not the person saying it, gg

TheLethalCarrot

Aye

amflare

14:33

@Edlothiad I'm only at 27 :(

Could you ghostwrite on my account for a few weeks?

TheLethalCarrot

I'm on 38 :)

lol

Edlothiad

Y'all suck paha!

amflare

I'll give you 5 bucks and a coupon

TheLethalCarrot

Boooo Ed

@amflare For one free gate?

amflare

no, for him to ghostwrite

TheLethalCarrot

14:35

*gatewrite

FTFY

amflare

:thumbsup:

TheLethalCarrot

Lol

Edlothiad

I guess I could

amflare

Also Ed

8 hours ago, by Edlothiad

@Skooba @Möoz @amflare y’all are allowed to talk while the Euros are asleep y’know?

Thats the part of our day that is productive

Waste away the morning

frantically make up time in the afternoon

Edlothiad

I waste away all day waiting for people

TheLethalCarrot

14:37

Do Skooba and Mooz even come into chat anymore?

JAD

rarely

I saw skooba talk a bit a few days ago

TheLethalCarrot

Well Skooba comes in when you summon him usually :P

Edlothiad

@Mooz is in the worst possible timezone ever. Where giant ants steal your babies, and they have spiders taller than people

amflare

draws circle with JAD's blood on the ground

badly sketches SFF logo inside

chants Skooba's name

Edlothiad

Them Marvel answers are so long...

TheLethalCarrot

14:41

Yup, did you double check that the Cap shield break wasn't one of the ret-cons?

Edlothiad

They're all retcons

TheLethalCarrot

I thought there were a few cases where it wasn't yet

Edlothiad

They break the shield then go:

And it's back

Retcons, timeline resets etc, all the same

TheLethalCarrot

Fair enough

Edlothiad

The shield can still be broken, it just is no longer broked because the timeline has been reset

JAD

14:44

@amflare :(

TheLethalCarrot

I don't really know enough about all the marvel crap

Edlothiad

"Oh did we kill someone? REEEEEEWIIIIIIIIND" and they're back

Neither do I, I just google like mad, open 150 webpages and become an expert in that one topic

TheLethalCarrot

Hahaha

That's sorta what I did with that guardians A earlier but I knew some of it cos I love the guardians films

Edlothiad

The only one I enjoyed doing was Deadpool betty white (or whichever golden girl it was)

TheLethalCarrot

Well deadpool is great too

Bea Arthur

Edlothiad

14:48

I love deadpool, and HQ, but she's DC

This question: scifi.stackexchange.com/questions/172484/…

I looked through every comic featuring Captain Marvel from the age, no bueno :(

TheLethalCarrot

Oh yeah HQ is great too

So I tried a Google search. Big mistake. There exist a completely different assortment of Marvel vibrators apparently.

LOL

JAD

:|

amflare

15:01

@Edlothiad Every few weeks having this question be at the top of unanswered bugs me enough to look for it, but also to no avail.

The image is in the dot print style of newspaper cartoon (like popeye) circa.... 1930-1950?

Edlothiad

Ye it bothers be buns

I looked at #1 of each vol and determined the artwork from there and looked at all the ones with vaguely similar artwork

TheLethalCarrot

You've got me hooked into finding it now haha

Edlothiad

15:34

You can’t, i’m convinced it’s fan made

TheLethalCarrot

Even if it's fan made surely there's still a source somewhere

amflare

@Edlothiad I agree

TheLethalCarrot

16:09

I guess someone doesn't like self answers

DV on Q and A

Aegon

That's a well known fact on SE

People don't like self-answers

TheLethalCarrot

I know

I just like bitching about it every now and then :P

Aegon

Self-answers posted after a fair period of time are however better received

Kepotx

@Edlothiad therobotspajamas.com/out-of-context-comics-volume-9

TheLethalCarrot

Yeah, the best I've seen is wait for someone else to post an answer first

Kepotx

16:14

seems like it's not the only comic panel that is uterly strange out of context

TheLethalCarrot

@Kepotx There' quite a lot of articles like that

Kepotx

never seen it before. im not a big fan of comics

I prefer franco-belge BD. Asterix > captain marvel

TheLethalCarrot

I'm 50/50 on them but I saw lots of those pages like you linked when I searched for a source when Ed linked the Q haha

amflare

@TheLethalCarrot We need to set up a racket where if we have a a self Q/A then we get someone else in here to post the question.

I can be like "are the trees in GoT faithful to the books?"

Then you can post your thoughtful and well written answer

without fear of DV for writting both Q and A

Aegon

Including pictures of all the known trees + videos from youtube

TheLethalCarrot

16:21

@amflare I'm already halfway there!

amflare

You are a carrot, not a tree

TheLethalCarrot

Lol

Though I think coordinating Q/A's like that is against the rules... I dunno

amflare

@edl is it? ^^

Aegon

@TheLethalCarrot -1, not enough pictures and videos.

TheLethalCarrot

(Love the IT Crowd)

Aegon

16:23

If that's a reference to something, I don't get it.

Kepotx

one of the best british tv series

the character name is moss

amflare

As someone who actually works in tech, is this something I'd find funny or painfully real?

Aegon

Ah

TheLethalCarrot

It's good cos Moss is displeased with your DV and his name is Moss :P

@amflare It's pretty good, quite British humour at times though

amflare

I prefer british humor, so I may check it out

Kepotx

16:25

@amflare there are lot of tech-related memes like references to RTFM o other things like that

some friends tell me to watch big bang theory because i'm geeky, but i dont really like it. but the IT crowd...

TheLethalCarrot

BBT isn't too bad but they've moved away from what it started out as

Kepotx

16:40

just realize one thing about tv-show

they seems to say that obsidian can only be mined in dragonstone (what a coincdence, that mean that jon will see dany!)

but Skagos TRADE obsidian arroweheads and blade

TheLethalCarrot

It never mentions that Skagos has obsidian naturally though does it?

amflare

Er... dragonstone is not the only deposit of obsidian in the world.

Kepotx

@amflare D&D: "sssh, children of the forest used obsidian, and were spread in all westeros, but dragonston is indeed the only obsidian deposit.It have to be, because... Boatsex!"

@TheLethalCarrot mentionned in TWOIAF : "When they do consent to trade, the Skagosi offer pelts, obsidian blades and arrowheads, and "unicorn horns" for goods they desire."

amflare

@Kepotx ah, right, my bad

TheLethalCarrot

@Kepotx Ahh should have searched with Skagosi too, doesn't necessarily mean they have it naturally though just that they have some i.e. they got it from Dragonstone in the past

Kepotx

16:51

sure, but if they trade it, it probably mean they have a lot, isn't it ? I mean, obsidian is not precious as is, and metal/steel weapons would be better...

TheLethalCarrot

Oh yeah I'm splitting hairs

Kepotx

While I agree that they may not have enough for an entire army, i don't see why they are not asked to give some, as they are supposed to be vassals of the Stark

TheLethalCarrot

Well they're backward, savage folk

I don't even think Skagos is mentioned in the show

I can't remember if it is anyway

Kepotx

probably, like lot of houses, but some comes out of nowhere when they are needed

TheLethalCarrot

They sure do

I've said that to a few people, unless mentioned in the show it doesn't exist in show canon

Anyhoo I'm off see ya!

Q: Is there a legal age for drinking wine in Westeros?

In Game of Thrones S07 E01 "Dragonstone", there is a scene where Arya Stark meets a group of Lannister soldiers. They talk about King's landing and after some words, one of the soldiers offer Arya Blackberry wine and says Are you old enough to drink? This made me think whether there is a l...

@amflare lemme catchup

amflare

That 'ah shit' moment when you post an answer while 30 rep from the cap and hours from reset

Kepotx

Edlothiad

I mean. How dare you expect us to downvote you...
