My, that’s a mighty big hailstone. One redditor estimates it’s not much smaller than the largest one ever recorded. Sounds like (looks like) the weather was pretty bad in Kansas last night. (/r/pics)

If you’re a fan of HBO’s Game of Thrones you’ll enjoy this AMA from Miltos Yerolemou, the guy who plays Arya Stark’s “dancing” (fencing) instructor Syrio Forel. When is George R.R. Martin going to do an AMA? The football season is over, it’s not like he’s blogging about Eli Manning in his free time right now. (/r/IAmA)
-
There is a beer pipeline in Germany. (/r/todayilearned)

Redditor thegeekmeister found himself stranded in Phoenix over the weekend. No worries! About 20 minutes after posting to r/phoenix, redditor McBullseye pulled up outside the Starbucks he was waiting in, ready to help. “Gotta love the internet,” one redditor wrote. “The largest collections of douchebags and angels all in one place, just a click away.” (/r/bestof)
-
What is hydrofracking and why is it bad? In this r/askscience thread, there’s more debate than solid answers, but it’s worth reading. (/r/askscience)
-
You’ve probably never heard the name “Dean Wright” before, but the guy has worked as a visual effects producer on some of the biggest movies of the past 20 years, including Terminator 2, The Lord of the Rings, and Titanic. His AMA yesterday makes for a fun read. I really enjoyed this discussion on 3D technology in movies (he’s not a fan). (/r/IAmA)

Stop saying “for all intensive purposes.” The proper phrase is “for all intents and purposes,” damn it! (/r/YouShouldKnow)
Did I miss something? Let me know in the comments.
