BTW, I don't think Dany is wrong for questioning Jon's story that he's the rightful king of Westeros. I realize he didn't state it in that manner but it's what he said. Let's face it, to any neutral observer, Bran is nuts. "I'm not Bran Stark. I know everything." While Sam has the knowledge and proof that Rhaegar and Lyanna were married, that doesn't fully connect the story without Bran. Or Howland Reed.
I doubt they have much time to introduce Reed again. It would seem that he should already be at Winterfell being a vassal of the Starks but the show seems to have ended any story about the Reeds.

true, probably not CRAZY crazy, but I could see her doing a heel turn in the last few eps.
Don't disagree to some extent. Her only allegiance to the Starks is via Jon. If he dies, the Starks are not any different to her than the other Houses that took the Iron Throne from her family. At that point, Sansa either fully capitulates or she is in rebellion. Then the dragons are attacking Winterfell.

The Mad King wasn't always mad. There were hints and tendencies that eventually blossomed into "madness". Like a tendency to burn all
herhis enemies.Dany has shown signs and hints of madness, the destruction she caused in slavers bay, burning the tarleys alive, the whole "I am a dragon" thing she got from her brother, etc. I think they (book and show) are setting her up for this test with Jon (show) and fAegon (book) where she'll either be a worthy queen, or some mix of Aerys and Maekar.
Emilia Clark has already talked about how Dany's ending traumatized her. Dany doing a heel turn could be the reason.
Do we know if the remaining episodes will take place in the short term, or will there be a jump in time? I can't see Dany going crazy over a period of 2 months.

To me it seems like the 3 month concept was the ideal when the average groom was 22. And at the lowest earning level of his life. A guy in his 30s or 40s dropping 3 months salary is over the top. At that $ amounts, it’s only to show off. “Look how rich my husband-to-be is. I win.”
Now I get that the guy earning 500k isn’t going to get away with buying an engagement ring worth $10k. Just like he can’t take her on a vacation and stay at a best western. There are expectations of spending some part of what you earn.

Next week I’m waiting for which heroes get brought back from the dead by a WW and then have to be killed again. Podrick having to kill zombie brienne. Jon killing zombie dolorus edd. Etc.
was it mentioned to dany that her dead dragon is back? I’m drawing a blank if that news came back from east watch. Does that change her strategy about putting her children in danger?

Her body looked a lot like the body from her rocky beach nude photo shoot. It also looked CGI. Regardless, the combo of the childlike face and the hot bod was quite disturbing.
“The dead are already here,” seems like foreshadowing. I’m thinking Jon goes Azor Ahai on dead Dany.
Can the NK raise the dead from the crypts?

The Hound survives to set up his last epic battle with The Mountain. We know that's coming.
Good point. He might be the only character that has a zero percent chance of dying against the white walkers.

so who wants to guess which of our hero's die next week?
Im going with
Jorah
Grey Worm
Lady Mormont
Davos
Tormund
Gendry
and I am guessing there needs to be a huge surprise death.
one of the Starks, or Jamie, or hell even Dani
Sir brienne. She isn’t needed to protect Sansa or Arya now. Can’t she her surviving. She dies alongside tormund.
i don’t see Jon dying, otherwise the whole r+l=j storyline was pointless.

Is there a story behind this?
RW is petty and everyone is unsure why he has singled out this one reporter but now he can’t walk it back because of pride. The worst part is that he seems to not allow others on the team to speak to the reporter as well. If you do, you days in okc might be numbered. Which for some players could mean out of the league. To keep the peace in the locker room even other star players have to go along with RW.
Now what to do with it. The nba can force players to stand in front of the media but cooperation is hard to define and enforce. But if players only reply “next question” to any reporter they hate, that becomes the story not the game or players. It’s bad for the game and players. Someone that RW respects needs to talk to him that he should make nice the media. The team itself shouldn’t be afraid to RW if he can state the issue beyond that he doesn’t like the reporter.

The only way to prevent people from jumping in the wrong uber is to not allow a transaction from anyone other than the person who they are picking up. Outside of that people are going to step outside the operating procedures to make money.
Yes Uber isn’t responsible if riders and drivers decide to transact outside of the system. The only people that are saying otherwise are people playing the victim card that SJWs are asking for that. However they aren’t.
Fyi, i did read that Uber is changing their notifications to remind and highlight the driver info even more. I’m sure some are angry at Uber for this.

I’m confused by this. You’re in Gmail but not seeing emails from other people? Or are other people sending you email from gmail and you’re not receiving them?

The Tooth Fairy always left me Ike Dollars, and I've kept them all these years (I'm almost 42). I've started giving them to my kids when they lose teeth. I guess I need to be sure they don't actually spend them.
I found a couple of steel pennies in my collection as well when I went through it looking for the Ikes. And a ton of Kennedy half dollars from the 60's. I'm almost out of the Ikes, so they'll be getting the Kennedys pretty soon.
what good is a present from the tooth fairy that can't be spent. That's about as good as getting a rock. and not much of a consolation at that age to be told that they can pass it down to their kids.

I know many still pay for things with cash but a decent percent of people are cashless now. I assume events like this are attempting to stop or at least slow that trend.

It was an awful bill that did nothing to solve the actual problem with HC. COST OF CARE.
And there would have been a hell of an easier way to get the 5% that needed coverage covered without screwing the other 95%.
Politics are preventing those issues from being resolved.

Two areas of healthcare that most patients refuse to take advantage of is price shopping in advance and negotiations. And you don’t have to wait until you’re behind on your bills and in trouble to do this.
Research options to buy cheaper drugs especially one time prescriptions. Sites like goodrx can give you codes for lower drug prices than your own insurance. (FYI May not count towards your deductible so paying more via insurance might be better sometimes)
for minor issues you can see doctors online or even have them come to your house, possibly for less than going to their office. On that note, seeing a non-MD is ok for some visits.
and i get that everyone wants to see their own doctor regardless of cost. I want Capital Grille for steak every night but nothing wrong with torchys one night.
EDIT: if possible get involved with your company’s healthcare plan selections. The plans may have been selected because the ins company treated the benefits VP to a great trip to NYC. Ask to be on the committee that reviews next years plans. When the ceo tells you what committee is that, it’s the one he’s going to create and put you on it.

Medicare and Medicaid really only work BECAUSE of the private commercial insurance plans. Providers basically break even (at best) with Medicare reimbursement and lose money for Medicaid patients. Private insurance makes up the rest of the costs and profits for most medical providers.
In many cases large employers have had it with placing the entire system on their backs. They're finding other solutions for their employees where possible. The end result will be more pressure on employers/employees that don't have the buying power to do so.

BTC bulls been holding up against the bears. Gotta wonder if we're going to stick to the 4900-5500 range or breakout. I'm under the impression that the TA chartists like what they're seeing in terms of higher prices. I don't believe their charts by itself, but I do believe that they believe it, so it can move the prices.

I don't think waiting the perp out a few months is the best move by the prosecutors if they want a guilty plea. Put the pressure on now for an immediate decision.
And as far as the person not feeling what they did was a crime? Lol at that. You go on "feeling" whatever it is you want to feel.
Are most federal crimes pled out within a couple of weeks of the arrest? I thought there was at least a few months if not a year. Admittedly I don’t have experience in fed prosecutions at all, but in any negotiation it’s about getting what you want with as few risks as possible. Why would a prosecutor want to take this to court. If you Try to get her to plead to 5-10 years and there’s no way she’s taking that deal. And she has the money to stretch this case out to the next US attorney in office so he would never see the win.
Now if her side is saying no prison time, then maybe you have to come over the top. Personally I’m still wondering if there are irs violations as well with many of these defendants. They masked these payments as charity contributions and is there any doubt their tax accountant wouldn’t have wanted to use it as a deduction. The accountant wouldn’t know it was a college bribe.

If a fed prosecutor wants a guilty plea on a case like this, isn’t the best move to wait out the defendant a few months?
If I a defendant and I feel my crime was victimless and perhaps not even really a crime, I’m going to immediately say hell no to any jail time. But let me go home for a couple of months and realize the extreme end of the possible jail time in a trial, and I might very well take the deal. I’m not as indignant after some time to cool off.
on the question of the severity of the crimes, I wonder what is worse for society: bribing an SAT official or a school official? In some ways, I can see the sat being worse as the ACT and SAT are the backbone of the school admission process. High school gpa, class rank, family connections are all subjective. The test is the objective measure where all students are able to be measured equally. If the test score can be bought, then the whole system falls apart.

The main issue I see with Facebook is not that they make some mistakes. Everyone does. The issue is that they appeared to have consistently always picked monetization at the expense of consumer data security.
And I can understand the point that some of the issues come to light may not full represent today’s practices, but you have to wonder what decisions are being made today that won’t be discovered until 2022.
if you’re not ashamed of a policy or practice, be transparent about it. And if you don’t think you can be transparent, perhaps that is a sign that you shouldn’t do it.

After the Brazilian museum fire last year and now Notre Dame, hopefully older landmarks or newer buildings with old artifacts are revising their fire avoidance or containment plans.

I was surprised that Bronn or Melisandre didn't show before the big fight. I suppose they can still make an appearance before the end of the battle to save someone or sacrifice herself, in the case of Melisandre.
the other thread are people complaining about lack of action in this episode. I thought this was one of the best episodes. Sure no one died but we know this was some final reunions or dialogue with some characters. There were reunions that we didn't even really think about before like House of Mormont, or even the sword Ice, albeit as 2 swords, being returned to Winterfell since Ned left for Kings Lands in Season 1. Episode 2 was necessary and did nothing but set up episode 3.
What regular characters are not in Winterfell at the moment? Cersei, Mountain, qyburn, bronn, melisandre, asha, euron and Jaqen? damn, this show has a ridiculous number of characters. no wonder they keep many book characters away.
