Wow... This is indeed great...

It hurts me to see threads like this not hitting front page..

Good one, op!
Dont sweat it, the oil hegemonists will kill such developments just like they did with ultra capacitors.
Car Talk / Re: Why Do They Put Car Batteries In The Trunk? by Akanniade(m): 7:43am On Sep 06, 2016
tahoe:
A couple reasons. With the complexity of today's car
engines the engine compartment can get pretty
crouded.......
1. Save space in the engine compartment.

2 it is cooler in the trunk of the car. Cooler temps can help
prolong the battery life.

3. If the car is a rear wheel drive
vehicle, the extra weight in the back of the car can help
with traction.

4. On some vehicles they have the battery
under the rear seat i.e. BMW, which does this for weight
distribution purposes and helps cornering abilities.
They can, but it will incure additional cost of fat cables to run it to the engine.

Tesla's free energy had nothing to do with solar. Its energy from the ionosphere. Your proposal is laudable but humongous. Imagine the amount of chemical waste from solar panel production for the whole earth.

Barbaric. What exactly is wrong with what she had on. This why I would always support the need for people to have hand guns to protect themselves against foolish people
God bless you. Those championing gun control in US are only advocating tyranny. See how the strong and agressive are oppressing the weak.

Whatever Jon Snow was or wasn't in this episode, you've got to give him credit for one thing: That guy is gaddemn brave.
Reckless death wish more like it. Several times during the battle he was saved by the wildings and other soldiers.
The guy is not fully Jon Snow. A part of him was lost in the resurrection. I remember Beric saying he feels less after every resurrection .

You are all heartless for condemning Jon Snow, Sansa is just a b!tch for saying is brother is already dead, that's the most stupidest thing to say about your true blood, your brother. Nothing more to even say, did she say such thing because it's a movie or what? To me i can't. For someone like that i have lost my elder bro and dad last year i can't. I will do anything to get them back if they were still alive.
You are just being emotional. Sansa has been a witness and subject of Ramsay's sociopathic acts. She saw what was done to Theon. She wasnt heartless, she was brave. She has seen what naivety did to Eddard, Rob and Catylen. She had to salvage what remained of house Stark.

Sansa is merciful she should have cut him piece by piece first! Before feeding his whole to the hounds
She did better than that, keeping him bound in the seat. Sansa just went from one star to five star.

You should know by now that any character you strongly wish to live will die.
I say Rickon dies because Ramsay is an animal who likes to hurt people. Dude ain't going down without taking a huge bite grin

I love the Starks btw. But we know they are the martyrs of the show
You didnt notice the proverbial 'sword of damocles' has shifted from house Stark to house Lannister?

I go with the Yara option. Drogon doesnt seen interested, he flew away after dropping his mother.

InesQor:

Some possible theories:
(a) Wildfire (though this shouldn't be a rumor anymore. Tyrion used it in the past already. The rumor might be that the wildfire is located beneath the Septum, making it easy to take out the High Sparrow and his crew).
(b) Rumor that Tyrion is with Daenerys - and so Cersei may be considering an alliance
(c) Rumor that the Tyrells orchestrated Joffery's death. Implicating Maergery might turn King Tommen around.
(d) A rumor that undermines the High Sparrow's credibility and shows that he is a hypocrite. Some evidence of dirty linen e.g. the high sparrow is a paedophile, or something like that, could change the scene.

A man is getting tired of all the interesting theories - only to finally see an underwhelming plot on TV.
She is already undermined in court. She called the high septon's bluff by killing his man. She needs to act fast to save her neck. The wildfire is her last resort.

Most probably Wildfire...maybe she plans to burn Kings landing to the ground.....
Most likely she will use the wildfire, unless Jamie gets back in time with his army.

Nihilist:


I don't think I did...and I suspect that you are the one missing my point.

Your point was that the High Sparrow is secretly using the faith as a vehicle for his ambition.I don't know if you are very conversant with Nigerian politics, but the high sparrow's rise to power is very similar to Jonas'

Both were initially granted power by their patrons. Both then consildated this power on a platform of populist rhetoric of transformation, intended to resonate heavily with a disenfranchised population far disconnected from the ruling class.

Eventually Jonathan's message of transformation and hope would be discovered to be false...and while a similar exposure of the High Sparrow's message has yet to happen on the show, you(and many others) already believe his message to be false as well.

Anyway, my point has been thus: Even taking in to consideration the idea thar the high sparrow is a charlatan, and merely using religion as a cloak for his real goal of political power, why do we not still suport him...especially as he represents the common man?

It's not like the other candidates are particularly pursuing altruistic agendas in their quest for the throne.

Rob Stark and the Baratheons were ready to kill and would ultimately die for a stolen mandate.

Danaerys is currently destroying several cities in succession as she pursues her nakedd ambition to her grandfather's old chair.

So why shouldnt the high sparrow use (false)religious fervor to his favour much in the same way the other contestants use their bloodlines and ancient sworn oaths?


Now I get your point.
