Reply to comment by havereddit in ELI5: Everyone knows that Ticketmaster is the biggest scumbucket enterprise on the planet yet no band seems able to avoid their grasp. What's to stop a really major act (e.g. Taylor Swift) from performing in venues that are not controlled by Ticketmaster, or just setting up a parallel company? by havereddit
Yes they could. But who would pay to advertise this unusual venue? And who would pay to create a new method of making tickets? And who would pay to have the vendors, food, drink, bathrooms, security, etc? Yes, some of these venues already have some of these services - but for the level of Taylor Swift?

GRRM did say that he hopes when he dies someone will finish his work. So it is possible that no matter how long it takes these books will someday be published.

Reply to TIL that Milton Bradley originally had been in the business of selling pictures of celebrities. After his biggest seller Abraham Lincoln grew his iconic beard and rendered his entire stock of lithographs worthless and had customers demanding their money back, MB switched to selling board games by Loki-L
That's strange that customers had that reaction. It's still Lincoln either way.

>He might've had a good reason for that
Except he said he was very concerned about her sores. I.e. get her out of the dirty water asap.

Except he stopped while this very old woman was standing unassisted in water up to her chest (he's very concerned about her sores) to take a pic...
