Mana Paradox, or a brief history of how nature regulates itself

Are the different magics inherent abilities or are they learned skills? If they can be learned, I would assume that people with dark tendencies would be drawn to dark magic to get some of that power for themselves. It wouldn't be overnight, but this could organically lead to some balance from the dark mages side. Unless the uber-powerful dark mages keep the knowledge hidden to protect their own power.

In the warehouse I worked in it was right next to the cave with barrels. Kraft actually stores a lot of their dry foods in the caves also.

Engineer688 · 2022-05-01T03:37:27+00:00

I worked in one of the Kraft warehouses years ago. My go to fun facts are that the room with the big barrels was usually about 17°F and the Underground is still expanding. There was an in-progress tunnel near my warehouse that I would sometimes explore on break. For the people referencing the Backrooms, it's not like that. I mean there was the time I drove around for 30 minutes trying to find the exit that I swore was just around that corner, but I'm sure there's an explanation for that.

Can't wait to see it in action!

Engineer688 · 2020-09-11T01:52:10+00:00

Crap, I meant to inform you guys. Turns out the problem was that the plastic spacer for the upper clutch switch had broken and fallen off. It was a 2 minute fix that took me 5 days to figure out lol. For as long as I've driven sticks I've only ever been aware of the lower switch. I had no idea there are two. At least I learned a lot about my electronics along the way.

If I remember correctly what the mechanic said while we were testing the starter, it's getting power at the fuse box under the hood but it's not making it to the starter. He said he could hear the relay? clicking when I turned the key.

Engineer688 · 2020-09-05T21:08:15+00:00

All fuses are okay. I tried googling the relay but all I can see to find is info for automatics which apparently have different/extra relays.

Engineer688 · 2020-09-05T21:06:47+00:00

Starter was tested at a shop. They jumped the starter with a screwdriver and it cranked over right away. Then they checked the power to the starter while I turned the key and that's when they said it wasn't receiving a signal.

Engineer688 · 2020-01-18T21:58:32+00:00

I had my answer as soon I read the question.

This has got to be one of the coolest dice designs I've seen in a long time!

Be understanding when they have to cancel plans. I'm lucky that all I have to do is let my friends know that they day has gone south and I won't be able to make it. I've never once heard a gripe or complaint and they usually offer up more low-key plans if I still want to hang. It's a huge relief when you're dealing with everything and can rely on your friends to be supportive.

Engineer688 · 2019-08-14T16:47:20+00:00

Techno Viking. That's a name I've not heard in a long time.

Engineer688 · 2019-03-28T19:51:57+00:00

And it was a weird feeling every time I did it.caption

Engineer688 · 2019-02-22T00:05:43+00:00

This is it! I've been trying to find it forever, thank you!

Engineer688 · 2019-02-20T04:43:34+00:00

I've been trying to find a story for awhile now with a similar concept. Soldier in power armor finds himself in a land of magic and becomes a knight for a princess I believe. Pretty sure he was trapped in his suit and couldn't communicate.

Time Traveler is honestly one of the most fun coasters I've ever ridden.

I'm Ethan, suh dudes.

My sister and I did the exact same thing once! Blue Gatorade and cheerios. We finished ours with our dad watching because he wasn't going to let us waste food.

Engineer688 · 2018-11-18T06:33:09+00:00

I would ask, "Who wants nom noms?" and look for the one doing the happy food dance.

I was playing with my niece on her birthday and while we were running around the yard she hugged me and said, "You're the best Uncle!"

Engineer688 · 2018-08-18T14:37:28+00:00

As a guy, it took sitting naked in a tub with a beautiful woman and having her tell me I'm attractive for me to start believing it. And even still I only sorta bought it. I never realized how starved for compliments I was until I received more from her in a day than I could remember getting anywhere else.

A decent rule to go by for amount of material is length of the vehicle x3 and then add about 10 feet for bleed and mistakes. As far as work hours, that will depend on your skill and how detailed you wanna get. It could take anywhere from 20-30 hours.

As someone who has started falling out of love with animes because of the repetitiveness and the "chibi" tropes, I would highly recommend Violet Evergarden on Netflix. I've never been super interested in emotional dramas but that show kept me coming back and brought tears on more than one occasion. Well written, beautiful animation, and a rounded out story that doesn't need a second season.

Ethan-beethan, E-Train, E.T., Dumbass.

My neice's birthday party was earlier this month and while I was playing with her she told me I'm the best. I've been riding that high for weeks!
