@Mithrandir so am I - thanks!

TML

Jun 28, 2017 06:53

done

TML

Jun 28, 2017 06:51

(Probably because that's the only book in the pile I've already read over once)

TML

Jun 28, 2017 06:50

It was the only question that came to mind after a glance over my current "slush" pile.

TML

Jun 28, 2017 06:45

Just posted my first question on the new iteration of the site!

TML

Jun 27, 2017 14:07

I just deleted the overlapping part of my answer

@Randal'Thor can you move this comment to fi12's answer? I didn't see fi12's answer when browsing the site via the StackExchange app, and I feel like my answer needs to be deleted, but I don't want to lose your excellent cross-link.

TML

Jun 27, 2017 13:02

Then I can move my comments onto the answer. :)

Interesting question; it seems much has been written about this. There's at least one entire paper dedicated to Eliot's use of The White Devil in The Waste Land. Eliot's own footnote (p. 59 here) encourages the reader to compare the two, but (at least according to Macklin's paper linked above) he later dismissed his own notes as "bogus scholarship". Other references include in Stephen Purcell's study Webster: The White Devil (p. 145). — Rand al'Thor Jun 2 at 12:57

@Randal'Thor you should elevate this comment to an "answer"

TML

Jun 27, 2017 06:57

Thanks

I need to find the cached copy of the previous site's questions and answers - there were some that I spent a LOT of time researching and writing responses which got lost forever because they didn't fit anywhere else.

TML

Jun 27, 2017 06:48

Glad to see @DForck42 is active here - it sometimes felt like DForck42, Ben Williams, and I were the only active people on the previous iteration - I think if you combine the 3 of us, it covers like 95% of the answered questions.

TML

Jun 27, 2017 06:47

@Mithrandir thanks for linking the metas - I actually read that second one, which is what led me to make the comment I did to @Randal'Thor - I'll let them decide whether they think the answer "spoils a meaningful surprise" as I am not a very good judge of these things.

TML

Jun 27, 2017 06:29

@Randal'Thor - I used the "spoiler" tag when answering your question about "The Fifth Head of Cerberus". Feel free to edit it to remove them if you feel they are misplaced.

TML

Jun 27, 2017 01:07

@Randal'Thor I definitely had NOT noticed - thanks for the ping!

TML

Just want different things, which is cool - that's why I wanted Literature :)

TML

Apr 25, 2012 21:36

You can see it already starting in the first comment on that Meta question: "We don't have much analysis on this site, and it usually devolves into a bunch of 'me too!' answers."

TML

Apr 25, 2012 21:29

It's just that I haven't ever really found SF&F to be a very nice place to be - probably because everything I ever wanted to talk about was not part of their charter, but it's still left me pretty turned off to the entire site.

TML

Apr 25, 2012 21:28

It'll depend on how much work it takes to get data out of their dump format, I've got it downloading at home to take a look at later tonight.

TML

Apr 25, 2012 21:25

sigh

TML

Apr 25, 2012 21:25

Man, I hate to see all of those get migrated to SF&F...

TML

Apr 25, 2012 21:23

Thanks @Shog9

TML

Apr 25, 2012 20:10

Since we're still beta, that's obviously the wrong link

TML

Apr 25, 2012 20:10

the blog post links to an article that, aside from being almost a year old, says it contains only "all public non-beta Stack Exchange Sites"

TML

Apr 25, 2012 20:09

anyone know how to get our data?

TML

Feb 28, 2012 22:36

@DForck42 - What do you think about this egyptian thing flagged for mod?

TML

Feb 8, 2012 05:44

Thanks!

TML

Feb 8, 2012 05:44

Right on

TML

Feb 8, 2012 05:36

True

TML

Feb 8, 2012 05:34

I put it down to some fundamental cultural difference that I wasn't ever going to be able to bridge

TML

Feb 8, 2012 05:34

Yeah, that was kind of odd

TML

Feb 8, 2012 05:33

She's a rat

TML

Feb 8, 2012 05:32

Sucks that he ended up back with Erica

TML

Feb 8, 2012 05:29

You're like quick-draw mcgraw with that closure!

TML

Feb 8, 2012 05:25

Do you think Lisbeth was intended to be suffering from Asperger's/ASD, or was it all environmental?

TML

Feb 8, 2012 05:23

Clearly :)

TML

Feb 8, 2012 05:22

but well done, for all of that, both in the recent movie and the book :)

TML

Feb 8, 2012 05:22

None of the characters are particularly "heroic", there's some pretty graphic depiction of some pretty dark stuff...

TML

Feb 8, 2012 05:22

I mean, it's a pretty horrific story, when all is said and done

TML

Feb 8, 2012 05:21

You can't call it a "good movie", any more than it was a "good book"

TML

Feb 8, 2012 05:21

It was well-done

TML

Feb 8, 2012 05:21

I saw the Hollywood movie the day after I finished reading the book, so they are pretty conflated in my mind :)

TML

Feb 8, 2012 05:20

I mean to say I'm not certain

TML

Feb 8, 2012 05:20

No :)

TML

Feb 8, 2012 05:18

you remember about it something now?

TML

Feb 8, 2012 05:17

but looking at the book, I can't find that anymore

Is anyone able to get to questions right now? All the question links take me to the ASPX error page.
