Asked coach Nick Saban (@JoeyMulinaro ) if he'd come coach the #Vikings:

Zero of that was misunderstood in the moment.

[ADA @Uc_heyy02]

One of the most misunderstood scenes in Game of Thrones is Sam curing Jorah’s greyscale.

It looked like Sam discovered some secret cure that the maesters were too ignorant to find.
That’s not what happened.

The maesters already knew about the treatment.
In fact, Sam only learned about it because it was recorded in their own library.

The reason they didn’t use it was because it was considered far too dangerous.
The procedure had a high chance of killing the patient, and an equally terrifying chance of infecting the person performing it.
That’s why Sam carried it out in secret, at night, and made Jorah stay silent.

What looked like a miracle cure was actually a desperate gamble that most maesters considered too risky to attempt

It’s one of those details that completely changes the scene.
Sam wasn’t smarter than the Citadel.
He was just willing to do something the Citadel wouldn’t

Ok bye

If Democrats win the midterms,
I honestly don’t know if I’ll stay in the U.S. long term. I may end up leaving for good.

The Packers just gave $110M to a WR with 2,200 career receiving yards

[Edwin von B @Nemock7]

This got ~$28M AAV?

[NFL @NFL]

Packers, WR Christian Watson agree to four-year, $110.5M extension. (via @AdamSchefter)

Nah, they are being more patriotic than you've been your entire life, by protesting a nationalistic display of blind pride and obedience.

They are pushing for the country to strive to be better. They are actually patriotic.

[Cryptid Politics @CryptidPolitics]

Notice how only White players for the Spurs put their hand over their heart during the National Anthem.

Wemby crosses his arms.

Most of them are probably singing the Black “anthem” under their breath.

Black America has a patriotism problem.

@prieurdp It is safer exiting the spaces if you back in to start.

[Edwin von B @Nemock7]

@j_eckerle @AmazonMGMStudio @amazon The frustrating part is that they "wanted to tailor to a new audience" is so bad - you honor the original to lock in that audience and if it's done well it will gravitate others.

Cutting off the original fans is a surefire way to not have an audience at all.

Goa'uld posed as Eqyptian Gods

The Asgard posed as Norse Gods

If we're really going down this path, I would more so say the time is perfect to revive the series, because most *want* to believe that there is good in the established military.

[Aydin Paladin🍸👑🇺🇸🇬🇬✝️📊 @AydinPaladin]

It sounds like they were trying to, but you can't make Stargate today. The heroes are the US military, and the villains are an ethnically diverse group of aliens in human bodies who posed as the various gods of human cultures in antiquity. The one group of aliens that also posed as gods but were benevolent rather than intrinsically evil - and the Goa'uld are intrinsically evil, as is made explicit - posed as the Norse ones.
That's why Stargate has remained untouched while every other franchise is defiled. Too much of the basic premise is fundamentally incompatible with modern Hollywood. There are too many uncomfortable implications.
Seems to me that higher ups got a whiff of what kind of show they were trying to make, and that show being Stargate, put the kibosh on it.
The "fresh new direction" they want to go with instead will have to be utterly unrecognisable. Stargate Universe is the direction Im sure they'd like to go in, but they already made that before the era of "modern Hollywood", and it was universally panned.
There's no getting around the good guys being the military and the bad guys being evil on a genetic level, so the whole premise is anathema. Stargate future-proofed itself, and with 15 proper seasons and 3 films, there really is no need to revisit it. I can continue, as I have for the past 30 years, just regularly rewatch what we already have. Because it's awesome.

[Edwin von B @Nemock7]

@BaronDestructo Why are they all so short sighted!

[Edwin von B @Nemock7]

@Strwbbshortcake @eskiflo1 @numbop1 @downbadcomment And you should look inwardly towards your own part in problems, but probably won't.

bye bye

[Edwin von B @Nemock7]

@eskiflo1 @Strwbbshortcake @numbop1 @downbadcomment ... then he needs to learn how to do better so she will want it again.

But she is a hippocrit for being mad that everything stopped when she stopped a major differentiator between spouse and roommate.

[Edwin von B @Nemock7]

@eskiflo1 @Strwbbshortcake @numbop1 @downbadcomment This, and it's not a matter of controlling the other person, it's that one person now wants a sexless marriage, and the other doesn't. That IS a relationship changer.

Regardless, they need to communicate, and if the issue is how he is initiating that she always feels pressure...

[Mario Nawfal @MarioNawfal]

The chances of a deer taking you out at a crosswalk are slim. But never zero.

[Edwin von B @Nemock7]

@beetbandit1982 @downbadcomment It's just the change in what the arrangement is that is problematic. If neither wants, that's fine.

If she is feeling not into it when she's being initiated, they both need to find other ways to initiate without expectations.

They need to actually communicate.

[Edwin von B @Nemock7]

@Strwbbshortcake @numbop1 @downbadcomment There is no right answer - The reality is, she changed the effective contract in the relationship. They married presumably while also being intimate, something that does mean more than just sex to a man, and now that is off the table.

It IS selfish to do so and expect no changes

[Edwin von B @Nemock7]

@lostmyliberal @pestctrlguy That word doesn't mean what you think it means

@PhilMackey 1 - Negotiate Revenue Split
2 - Negotiate Floor based on that revenue split
3 - Set Ceiling

What is difficult about this.

[Edwin von B @Nemock7]

@LindseyMNSports Thought so! Was fun, my nephew had a blast!

[Edwin von B @Nemock7]

@LindseyMNSports you at the Jefferson camp?
