(Spoiler ASOS) Were you guys as emotionally compromised as I was with episode 8's Tyrion and Shae scene? by thrawn_2071in asoiaf

Ok! Then I guess it doesn't need a spoiler tag.

Other way around, Tyrion falls in love with Shae. And she seems (in the show) like the sort of crazy that someone (Tyrion) could fall in love with - and who will crush you later on.

"Your mother did a good job." spoilers S5E10 by royfokker85in madmen

It's three references to their night out. He said he thought all the flowers she received must have been from Aly Khan, she said he never gave her any flowers and she said her mother raised her to be appreciated.

So ding-ding-ding, Don sends her flowers from Aly Khan saying her mother did a good job.

He kills in the traditional way as well, remember the singer?

That's not ASOS, is it? Isn't that later on? Or am I mistaken?

And the kind of crazy to fall irredeemably in love with and be crushed by.

What? I made it especially for you.

(Spoiler ALL) Where every book character is at the end of ADWD by ToxtethOGradyin asoiaf

[–]Daniel_SJ 19 points20 points ago

Not really. The first one is, though it seems likely Pyat Pree wasn't the insolent one who got killed we only know he was one of the four to leave.

The second one is pretty well founded: http://awoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/Jaqen_H'ghar/Theories

Finally got round to doing it. What d'you guys think? by hazelljanein shorthairedhotties

Well, you're more than welcome. I've got a deadline the 24th, but I'm sure I could find time to show a Brit around. Send me a PM if you're interested.

Not too far from rainy and cold Norway (though it'll be sunny here as well in a month or so!), but probably a bit far for lunch. Been a while since I visited London, though.

That hair is so awesome I would ask you out for lunch if I saw you on the street. Where do you live?

I'm not questioning your honor, Ser Janos. I'm denying it's existence.

To be honest as low as possible, student budget.

Yeah, it seems the Thinkpad wasn't the bottleneck I thought it was.

So you think I'd notice difference with a better dac? Anyone you could recommend?

Thanks for the corrections! Some healthy skepticism is always needed in audiophile communities.

To give some numbers: Youtube encodes as described above. All of these are rates of data per second, and the higher the better. They are all compressed though - and as such will sound worse than uncompressed (usually CD) audio - much like a compressed image will get artifacts.

  • At 60kbps anyone should be able to tell the quality is terrible, regardless of equipment. Especially compared to a better source.
  • At 128kbps it's still noticeable on most equipment. (This used to be the standard for MP3s on filesharing sites, but it's since moved to 192kbps or 320kpbs, since the files are so small anyhow).
  • At 152kbps it's better, but not really good. Still below what you'd normally get on the Pirate Bay.
  • At the max for mp3's, 320kbps, the quality difference to CDs is ~indistinguishable with a normal headset, but noticeable on good equipment.

In short: Even at it's best a Youtube download will have noticeably worse quality than what you'd get off iTunes/ThePirateBay, much less a CD. Youtube doesn't even max out the the audio codec it uses.

You know nothing, TwistedBrother.

My thoughts on the events in king's landing tonight by unforgiven91in gameofthrones

[–]Daniel_SJ 0 points1 point ago

I feel it would have been stronger without showing the ripping. Just telling it as plausible tale of the brutality afterwards (like in the books).

It was good to see how imposing this man truly is by dedbeatsin gameofthrones

[–]Daniel_SJ 1 point2 points ago

I feel it needs to be said that dying is not the worst end you can have in this series.
