A question about Targs

Just watched the 3 series and overall I’m really enjoying it. One area I’m curious about is - in GoT, Dany says “fire cannot kill a dragon”, and she survives fires a couple of times. Is this a targ trait, or just a weird fluke? In HotD, clearly Aegon gets burned to fuck and nearly dies. Plus Laena self-immolates, and she’s half targ.

Are any other targs meant to be immune to fire?

Despite being hugely different in size, The Sun and The Moon appear the exact same size in our sky, due to their distances. This cannot be a coincidence.

I don’t know who I blame for this, so it’s not really a conspiracy, but I simply cannot believe it’s a coincidence.

Any recommendations for places who do maintenance in Central / South-East London?

I feel like I'm taking crazy pills. I booked my bike in for a service at a Halfords. They did it, but then they scribbled down on the receipt that I'd need two replacement components, they provided a price and a labour cost. That's fine, but the issue is that there appears to be no way to actually get in touch with them and book this in. Nobody EVER picks up the phone, and the website doesn't let you make any kind of booking that isn't very vague ("free bike check") or very specific ("order a particular type of chain").

There must be a better way?? What do people do? Apparently I need a new rear mech and pair of shifters. Happy to pay someone, but I'd rather minimise the time I'm without my bike, so I'd like to order and pay, book it in, then drop it off.

Rod Liddle, a UK version of Glen Beck, has died. A good day!

A bit like Glen Beck in that he was a right wing shitbag, but in print media rather than radio. Some of the reasons why he was a massive POS:

-Cut his honeymoon short (he had two kids with her before they got married) to go see his 22 year old mistress. Arrested 18 months later for assaulting said mistress (now promoted to girlfriend) who was 20 weeks pregnant at the time. He admitted the offence and received a police caution

- refers to “Muslim savages” and claimed that black people carry out the majority of street crime / violent crime

- claimed that colonialism is not a major cause of Africa’s problems

-said that Nelson Mandela’s death was getting excessive coverage from the BBC

This is just scratching the surface. Give him a google if you’re interested to find out more.

Does anyone have any info about the mechanism / numbers behind Harriet spraying you? (See text)

Is it like an aggro meter that declines over time if you don’t kill any animals? Does the size of the animal matter? During the post-mace 5 minute cool-down, do any animal kills make her mad? Is it just in-game time? Does switching sessions do anything?

Any kind of info would be helpful.

So - we know she was born sometime around the 1920s/1930s, and was Dr Vought’s wife, who got given V1, and so broadly gained immortality. She then became “Liberty” between the 50’s until the late 70’s. Then where did she go? Where did she go for 40 years? was she still “Vought”? Clearly she doesn’t love Stan Edgar due to her racism.

Presumably this is what will be explained in “Vought Rising” but curious to know if I missed anything.
