    Nah, there's only 3 Dunk and Egg stories published, Hedge Knight, Sworn Sword, Mystery Knight. Unless they wanna come up with more, we're probably looking at TV movies. As far as I know, the new series will be based on the Dance of Dragons, A Targaryan civil that was like 270 years ago.

    Yeah, but those aren't stories, they are more like Histories. Kinda like the Silmarillion. I own it, it's not bad, but one could write an entire series of novels about that. It's more of a framework than it is a real book.

    If you've ever read the Silmarillion you'll get the point. It's constructed a little differently, it's not exactly like the Silmarillion but it's similar.

    But we're not talking about two anthologies, are we, ALL of that is in Fire and Blood. They're not taking shit from any anthologies, just Fire and Blood. The Dance of Dragons chapters are like maybe 100 pages long. And you're getting on my nerves.

    All I know is what's in the book. Jesus what is with you? I actually read the book. All that shit is in there!

    OK, I'm done. I'm not gonna sit here and fight with you. Just disbelieve me, or whatever it is you want to do.

    Pointless conversation, anyway.

    I've actually read both books, dude. I own them both. Fire and blood does not center on the Dance of Dragons, it goes all the way from Aegon all the way to the reign of the broken king. Just picked it up and looked at it. Can we just avoid each other now?

    I'm tired of reading you bitch at me.

    Homeboy deleted all his posts... Now I look like a crazy person. I promise you there was a guy yelling at me. I won't say his name, but there's a BIG clue as to who it was on this page.

    Hey, where have you been? Nice to see you.

    My nerd thread anecdote- Amazon is recommending I buy books I already own. Stop stalking me, Amazon dot com algorithms.

    Yeah, well, at least I'm not gonna bitch out and delete my posts, no matter how weird they make me look. All I was doing was talking and this nut suddenly came at me like a madman. And then he deletes all his posts. Makes me look like a fucking nut! I know who the nut is, and it ain't ME!

    Game of thrones is just books and TV to me, but apparently it's like a RELIGION to him!

    I did! I didn't even think it was a fight at first! Tell that shit to dpacrkk! He picked and picked. I'd have just recommended the book and left it there, but this guy just would not stop.

    Dude, I did! I stopped fighting with him, read the above posts. You just can't read the crap he was posting at ME, they were much more abusive. A lot more than "Your getting on my nerves" or "what is with you." No insults from me, nothing. Remember, he deleted his posts, I didn't. Once I saw that it was a fight (Which I didn't, at first, realize), I bowed out! I just wanted everyone to know that he deleted all his posts and I wasn't crazy.

    What, I don't matter now? You're not gonna say anything to HIM? He attacked ME!

    ETA: And I'm not gonna bitch out and delete my posts. Every one was an honest post and I stand by it. I wish you could see the shit he was saying to me! You'd have gotten pissed off too if somebody talked to you like that. I just let it go, until I just couldn't. And even then I was pretty moderate. I was trying to hold my temper, and, surprisingly, I managed to do it.

    That's probably why he deleted his posts, because he would be banned for them. Imagine that... Someone getting banned for yelling at ME of all people.

    I read the deleted posts, they weren't nice but I've seen much worse here. Don't worry about it, it's definitely not worth arguing about fantasy novels in a stripper forum.

    I know, right? It was the STUPIDEST conversation I've ever had here.

    And that's all I've got to say about it. It's over.

    I'm adding a new rule to the blues which will hopefully have the blessing of the other mods:

    Any more blue fights disrupting a named thread (such as this one, clearly intended for a specific subject) will result in the banning of both blues under the drama and disruption rules. If you want to fight, PM, or take it over to a new thread in customer.

    Sadly we've seen too many pissing matches lately and we need to remember and display our manners. /threadjack

    I recently got a Galaxy Fold 2 and it really is an amazing product, digging it so much more than I thought I would, people everywhere are worried about the screen crease but by the time it matters, I probably move to the Fold 3 which is rumored to be around the corner.

    The office suite is actually usable with the big screen, it is a small tablet you can carry with you in your pocket, nothing like it.

    Yesterday I had my check flight on the C-208b Cessna Caravan, my first turbine powered aircraft. For those who doesn’t know, a turbine engine is more or less a jet engine fitted with a propeller, meaning more available power and much more reliability.
    I just have to say it was a blast to fly! Even though its a basic plane with fixed gear and not really that fast, feeling the power of the turbine was just a thrill! Absolutely no vibrations at all, I mean, when you fly fly a piston powered aircraft you feel the engine struggle when going flat out, but here you just felt the power like being endless as you just noticed the torque and fuel flow gauge rise! Yeah, I know I’m a nerd..

    I always wanted to get my pilot's licence, but it is definitely a commitment so simulators only for me, its nice that you enjoy flying.
