    ...or maybe we don't?

    There's a hardcore "SLS or bust" faction within NASA that may end up killing this date because of it.

    Lot can change in 4-5 years. Between Musk,  Bezos, and all the other private money, they might force the hands of those “SLS or bust” guys. Especially if other countries demonstrate an insurmountable lead that NASA can’t overcome without outside help

    He has the moral right and authority to protect his family.   He did that 

    While your first sentence is undeniable, your second is based on an incomplete set of facts. 

    Not enough of this story to say one way or the other. Under certain facts, the dad  was fully within his rights, and that the “mob” could be looking at felony murder charges. Under others, the dad could be looking at murder, while the mob gets fined for minor property damage.

    . Drogon not eating Jon seemed a bit silly. Yeah, the dragon got that his mommy was a psycho because of the lust for that throne but come on. It's a giant creature full of rage but it lets him go? The rest was okay.

    That’s one of the very few things I didn’t have a problem with. Only thing I think that may have made it better was if Drogon tried to roast him, realized he couldn’t be burned, then dejectedly flew off with Dany. Maybe that would have been cheesy though.

    During Elish's postgame, she said something about having to put on a tshirt under it, which she had to get from an assistant coach.  Apparently rubbing/chafing her arm?

    Yeah. Chafing, and they don’t even have extra gear available so she had to use a shirt somebody else was wearing. And you could see a lot of the girls pulling at their jersey in the same place so I think a lot of them were having that issue.

    There was something else too, but I don’t remember what it was now.

    Bermuda is just taking over what I think is some zoysia strain. Cactus, I think you offered some chemical that might help. So I need to kill the Bermuda and replant pallets? Waiting until after growing season? Other? Looks like zoysia is still under it getting smothered so I’m at a loss.

    Any reason you don’t want to just let the Bermuda take over? There’s a reason it’s winning after all. But if you just really don’t want it, then you can spray the whole damned yard, wait a few weeks, till and top dress, and resod. There are obviously times of the year where the conditions are more favorable for new sod, but you can still do it in the dead of summer. You’ll just have to be on the ball with watering.

    Everyone is so quick to bash the show this season but we have no idea how it’s going to end. That’s a pretty good indication it doesn’t suck. 

    We have lots of ideas how it’s going to end. And we also have a 99.99% chance that we’re all going to be pissed about it, whether it’s because the surprise was rushed, out of character for everyone involved, or just “Jon ends up on the throne” which would be the most predictable conclusion ever.

     I don’t think GRRM wrote this story full of surprises where the good guys always die with an ending where the most predictable thing happens and the good guy wins.

    You're right. I just rewatched it frame by frame through that whole scene. That shot was done much tighter. You couldn't see his hand if it was there. In all other shots he has the metal hand. Unless there's a different version out there or somebody got hold of a still taken on set, it's a fake.

    Saw a post somewhere stating that HBO edited the scene after it first aired. So if you watch it on HBO Go or whatever, it’s a tight shot. If you had it DVRd then it’s a wider shot. No idea if true though since I didn’t DVR it
