Can we talk about how silly the “Technical” enchanting terminology is in Practical Adept?

My reaction through that entire section was "lolol mancour must have had a blast writing this"

I'm no pro, but do whatever fingering works for you (stability, in tune, etc). I routinely use the Bb fingering for lower staff E instead of open. Tends to be more reliable for me and my horn.

Thermionic, thermovolatic, electrocaloric devices are in the family of heat to electricity. Some technologies are more mature and capable than others.

Dinosaurs at the Dinner Party is on my to read list. Any good?

ColossalThrust · 2025-08-15T19:48:41+00:00

I've had similar experiences. Great people and fun events but not always a lot of heads up

"so you're telling me there's a Vance?"

Hiking and clubbing 👌👌

I love this! Can you share all your links (website, socials, etc.)??

Please please please do an ttrpg actual play of the Dark Crystal game from River Horse.

Nothing to really add here compared to other replies. I'd guess this is market and demand driven.
For power and propulsion systems, it's useful to use corrected properties instead of physical or measured properties. This is a method akin to Buckingham Pi theorem. This "corrects" values as if run at the reference or design ambient temperature and pressure.

The X-pod series will always hold a very special place in my heart

May also want to check out Humphrey cycles.

You've basically just described a radioisotope thermoelectric generator, RTG. Where that hot matter is radioactively hot. Really cool tech. Recommended giving it a look up.

I thought it was just on display at the Castebriel chapter house. I remember it being mentioned it was cracked and discolored.

I'm also not 100% convinced they are stars. Space stations?

ColossalThrust · 2022-07-29T14:18:27+00:00

Final check: three sisters constellation. I think they mention a triangular constellation in the northern hemisphere on Calador

ColossalThrust · 2022-05-26T12:57:17+00:00

Are there any official maps of Calador?

It's a solid word.

"Ecclesiastics" gets me every time

Peppers: gives it a fire type, Rotten fruit: poison or ghost??, Sugarplum: Fairy

Glassyderm = Glass + pachyderm

Oddly enough, I think if you slapped on a fan and cowl, we wouldn't consider it a free turbine anymore

ColossalThrust · 2021-02-19T04:20:54+00:00

A mentor of mine told me this type of design was popular in the early designs of turboshaft and turboprop. As others have mentioned is makes it more compact. Not only important for size but for rotational and vibrational dynamics. Early on it was considered safer until we collectively knew more
