QUOTE (Alexeihyeess @ Aug 29, 2017 -> 08:51 PM) Well how do we know it's a once in 500 year storm? From what I understand the Comanche did not keep detailed weather records. I think some of these ideas need to be reevaluated, and the "once in x amount of years" weather event label perhaps doesn't fit. Well, the average second grader learns Dendroclimatology as a way to show past climate changes. And thats just the start of biological indicators. I would suggest a quick google search on how they have determined, scientifically, what weather and climate patterns were back to thousands of years ago. Of course that probably DOES require a belief in Dinosaurs and that there were civilizations that existed beyond the Comanche hundreds of years ago.

Anyone see any info about donating things like clothes etc?

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Aug 29, 2017 -> 07:04 PM) Nws is estimating that it'll be the worst economic natural disaster in history. That's awful. And that on top of the social issues that are going to stem from this. It's so terrible.

QUOTE (Alexeihyeess @ Aug 29, 2017 -> 05:11 PM) Whatever, I'm not trying to start a climate change debate. Im just saying she mockingly used "God's wrath" to make a point about climate change. In no way did she blame it on the lesbian mayor. If you read that comment and honestly believe she meant to blame it on the mayor being gay you are actually illiterate or just lack the reading comprehension of a 2nd grader. Oo burn. She made two moronic points: 1. That being gay is wrong because of some fictional book and 2. climate change is a hoax. Both are remarkably stupid.

QUOTE (Alexeihyeess @ Aug 29, 2017 -> 05:14 PM) I'm also not sure climate change directly results in cataclysmic storms except in bad movies. Blaming this storm on climate change feels like the inverse of the throngs who declare the entire idea of global warming bunk because of a 60 degree day in February. Edit- I screwed that up. I meant a 45 degree day in July. Whatever... A few once in 100 year storms and then a once in 500 year storm hits. I'm sure its just coincidence, or God.

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Aug 29, 2017 -> 02:53 PM) Postponed, they don't have a new date yet but he said it will likely be in October. Smart by them. No need to force people to travel. Weddings are more than the caterers etc.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Aug 29, 2017 -> 02:21 PM) One inch of rain is roughly equal to ten inches of snow. I don't remember any 500 inch snowstorms. Wow, thats a shocking ratio

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 29, 2017 -> 01:45 PM) What would happen in Chicagoland if a storm just wouldn't move out and dropped 50 inches of water straight down on Chicago? Good point. it's done that with snow.

QUOTE (Alexeihyeess @ Aug 29, 2017 -> 12:05 PM) She didn't blame it on a lesbian mayor. She was just saying climate change isn't to blame for an Atlantic hurricane that is only remarkable for the densely populated area it hit. You gotta be really sensitive to think she's blaming it on the mayor. :lol:

Ann Coulter just blamed Harvey on Houston electing a lesbian mayor....

I called DTV yesterday again and got NFL sunday ticket for free, again

QUOTE (Brian @ Aug 28, 2017 -> 12:47 PM) I wish Apple TV had Amazon Video app. That's why I also have a Fire Stick. It is coming this year.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Aug 28, 2017 -> 12:39 PM) Yeah, everything I own is basically in the Apple ecosystem. Was something to consider, but bit the bullet and spent an extra couple hundred because I've owned Apple TVs for years and am familiar with them. The user experience on Apple TV is much better as well. The fire stick etc is good, but not quite as good IMO

I had to look it up because it bothered me last night, but I was right. IN the books, the Golden Company sailed with Aegon and Jon Connington to Storm's end. So much different than whats going on in the show.

QUOTE (illinilaw08 @ Aug 28, 2017 -> 11:26 AM) Only if you really put a major emphasis on Bran in the next season. I mean, Bran hasn't really done anything with his powers this season except warg into ravens to spy on the Night King, and I guess compile evidence against LF and figure out Jon's parentage? For them to effectively tell a time traveling story where Bran is responsible for all the acts and is effectively two people in one timeline would be a pretty audacious story to tell and have it make sense within the narrative. Worst moment for me yesterday was Cersei letting Jaime leave. She literally just told him her double cross plan and then lets him leave to presumably tell that plan to Team Targ? If Cersei is done with Jaime, and isn't ready to kill him, wouldn't she have just arrested him? Personally I think they will show Bran's hand in more of the stuff that has happened thus far. Thats a good way to build the backstory. But who knows. His story confused me in the books as well.

Ive always wondered what happened to Mance Rayder in the books since the show basically killed him off. In the books he's still alive.

QUOTE (bmags @ Aug 28, 2017 -> 09:48 AM) With only 6 episodes I don't think that's a storyline they could effectively tell. You could tell that story in 9 hours.

The NK's face changed from the early reveal to now where he looks more like Bran too.

Super pumped my team opens up the season on my birthday.

QUOTE (soxfan49 @ Aug 27, 2017 -> 06:29 PM) Going to the Iowa/PSU game. Any must eats in iowa City? Beer, lots of beer./ My favorite food there was the gyro cart right outside the bars. Then stay up until tailgate.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Aug 27, 2017 -> 04:05 PM) Trubisky had a pass dropped by White (tough catch but should have been made) where he threw the ball high. Other then that, he continued to pretty much throw the ball on the money (and that deep ball to Gentry was just gorgeous). Tru almost got picked on a pass though. Glennon played solid too. Tru just looks so calm in the pocket (and I love how he seems to keep his eyes downfield and go through progressions, etc.). Glad Glennon didn't suck and actually stepped up a bit (from the increased competition). I know everyone raved about Shaheen in camp but I've yet to see anything special during game day. I yelled when he dropped that deep pass in the bucket. Thats such a hard thing to do. It was an incredible throw.

QUOTE (bmags @ Aug 28, 2017 -> 09:22 AM) ha, I don't believe this for a second. I don't think an undead dragon has the same physics of lift. Its going to keep decaying like the undead. I assume it will jut be a walking lizard at some point. Maybe Bran the Night king wont need it...

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Aug 25, 2017 -> 03:13 PM) You watched the whole thing already? I just finished. What a great show. I hope it keeps it up.

Oh and that dragon is going to be flightless pretty soon, it was already f***ed up.

They should just let the white walkers by and let them take Kings landing. I thought that episode was awesome. I screamed when LF finally bit it. Also they finally locked down theories that we've been speculating for years. The reunion of all the players left was interesting, but I feel like the books would have made that a little less hollywood buddy comedy. I saw each epi might be 90 min for the last season. That would be epic./
