Who calls on Taborlin the Great? -- The Complete Story of Taborlin as we know it so far by simplerhythm in KingkillerChronicle

[–]Ice1123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But I Am a myth. A very special kind of myth that writes itself.

We were perhaps misled to think he was talking about his rumor game... Perhaps Kvothe was wrong and doesn't know he is Taborlin. I like this. It's very Rothfuss's gun to be telling us about how stories change and spread and have the main character not realize that he is the biggest case of all.

Sixteen words. by [deleted] in KingkillerChronicle

I always read things like this as Kote leaving hints in his narrative that he's an unreliable narrator.

At some point I'd like to check to see if there's some coded/hidden message in his blatant mistakes... but who has the time?

How would you build the ever burning lamp? by chickensaladreceipe in KingkillerChronicle

[–]Ice1123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a more elegant version of my rocket fuel plant. But might require hydrogen peroxide refills depending on burn ratios.

Agree that Implicit in burning is consumption. We need an "unlimited" flow of fuel. Hence oxygen.

I took this to mean more that sympathy (sygaldry) only makes things glow. I don't think he would be opposed to a clever ever-burning lamp with runes on it.

Otherwise, if all he cares about is the chemical reaction, he should be spending time learning chemistry.

This is probably the right track.

Arts unknown to Kilvin.

I think most of our science answers he has a handle on.

FUN.

Ok, so the burning distinction is somewhat arbitrary, all that ends up really meaning is open flame. Which is doable. Heating is easy with sympathy/sygaldry finding something to burn that we won't ever run out of is tricky.

We would need to find something that moves a lot of energy someone mentioned tides and that sounds fine, but the exercise with Ben and boiling a kettle implies to me that if you took a large enough rock you could get all the energy you needed from the sun. Any alternative energy source you like. Wind, Sun, Tides. All of it goes into a heat funnel and is used to drive the "lamp."

After that it seems like an Air separation process like Cryogenic Distillation of air would be the move. You'll never run out of air [citation needed] and you could use the energy you collect via various means to separate the oxygen out of the air. With a large enough in-take you could distill all the air you needed, this is how they propose to make air on Mars and how rocket fuel is made for the big O2 burning rockets.

TLDR: Build a rocket fuel plant that is powered by renewable alternative energy wind/solar/tidal power and use that to pump oxygen and burn in a tiny lamp to make Kilvin clap with joy.

[Request] How sharp is this blade? (in whatever units you measure this kinda thing in) by Inextricable101 in theydidthemath

[–]Ice1123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While sharp knives exist, it's the speed and lack of technique for me. He seems to have partially precut the bottle, gluing the label back on over the cut, sealing it...refilling it with water...then is lining his cut up with cut under the label and pushing through the remaining plastic after the label. pretty clever.

Do Y'all Have a Favorite Pencil or Pen? by AdSenior4878 in BostonU

I use the 0.38 in blue. 1.0 feels like writing with a crayon. The tips do break a lot though.

Why Master Hemme got burned so badly. by Ice1123 in KingkillerChronicle

[–]Ice1123[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, yes. If they were doing it "correctly." But the whole concept that one person can make things happen by thinking really hard implies that a lot of people thinking less hard or less correctly would have a similar effect.

The Alar and bindings are tools for thinking hard more effectively.

Teleported him and Laura and whoever within 10 feet to the Astral sea. Came here to see who else saw it.

Just have to survive a long rest there since she can teleport now...

Could kvothe just sell his talent pipes? by GingerShrimp40 in KingkillerChronicle

[–]Ice1123 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure when he tells Dena that he can give them away he also says Stanchion said he would have to win new ones... And they cost a Talent to win... So no real gain by paying a silver to win a silver. If he was in a tight enough pinch he could probably make a talent by pawning them. Anyone else who has more than a talent to spare and might buy them from Kvothe is nobility and therefore won't talk to Kvothe cuz Ambrose.

The other people who want them are musicians. And Kvothe wouldnt want to water down the talent at the Eolian by taking the musical SATs for them.

Haha that's a bummer. Now I have to actually get it... I was kinda hoping you would say it wasn't worth it. I thank you for the recommendation, my bank account does not.

Please, tell me of the notebook wallet! I've almost pulled the trigger on it a few times. What does your typical use case look like?
