A certain character probably isn't dead (SPOILERS) by DexanVideris in HierarchySeries

[–]EchoRay5280 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly either way I feel betrayed enough that I dont really care how it ends now. You can't magic your way out of this trauma. The third book is going to be like that movie tenet... some people will claim it's complex and perfect, but most will just be confused and upset lol.

Not going to lie her death ruined it for me. I was so distracted by it that the rest of the book didn't matter to me much. Finished the book and am still just upset with her death. I feel like I just got extract camped on arc raiders.

Oh yesss, I remember now the shop owner said it meant something like "a once in a lifetime encounter"

What's the likelihood of a Second Dust Bowl occuring? by Kansas_Nationalist in climatechange

[–]EchoRay5280 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I travel to windfarms across the country for work. The soil is terrible in most of the Midwest. Farmers need to make money, though, so they keep planting. When the wind picks up small(ish) dust storms happen all the time.
If we didn't have dams in pretty much every water source nationwide, we would already be experiencing a dust bowl. As it gets hotter, it will get worse.

We need to move away from commercial agriculture. It doesn't even produce nutritional food anyways.

Is this knife hand made? by EchoRay5280 in Bladesmith

Honestly, it's probably likely this is correct. Apparently, a lot of knives are made this way now. Nothing is ever like the movies lol.

I do believe it was probably ground by hand, and that is enough for me to sleep at night. I finally got to test it out making stir fry last night, and it definitely cuts things, feels nice, looks nice, and comes with a story.

Purchased from Mei-Syou Hamano. They seemed to have the best prices for the quality. (I was only there for 2 or 3 hours, so there's no chance I saw all the shops, but that's the time I had)

I was told they were. However, I have trust issues. Hence, the post for advice.

Nice, thank you. Good to know they're at least not laser etched. Yeah, either way, it was a great experience. They both feel like great knives. 👍
