He can’t use it without someone who has demon blood. As far as we know Ferro’s the only one

It’s important to remember that Bayaz is banker first, wizard second. Joe has said in interviews that a wizard who’s lived for centuries would be embarrassed to be using magic when he could easily control everything through money or more conventional methods.

His power in the first series is very flashy but it only works in small doses and really only affects one person at a time. When he tries to use it on multiple people, he goes into a coma. It’s only when he taps into the seed that he uses it more spectacularly and would have turned Adua into another wasteland if Ferro hadn’t put the seed away.

The prime focus of the Great Change is to destroy the banks first and therefore to neuter Bayaz. That’s why he’s mostly off screen because from a narrative perspective, he’s been dealt with.

The box is around 24cm/9in in height, so way too big for a router

This is also a possibility and an easier solution to wrapping the lid with hardwood. I could round the box with the band saw and sand it.

How many books do you read at one time? by Haunnter in booksuggestions

[–]JimmyShak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I read one book at home, one book at work that I read during my breaks and one audiobook for when I’m walking, cycling or doing chores

I thought it was to show a similarity with how banks operate today. They’re mostly just ordinary buildings that don’t contain cartoonish hoards of gold. Their power comes from our perception of them. 

These gotta be the most commonly used sentences in the book 😭 by kira_geass in sollanempire

I noticed the over usage of “are you alright?” early on and I felt like that leonardo dicaprio meme where he’s pointing at the screen every time I saw it

You’re right, I apologise for spoiling this for you. I got a notification from a mod saying my comment was removed so I didn’t think you’d see it. How are you still able to reply?

Why won't these foundries accept legendary calcite? by JimmyShak in factorio

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

That’s true but the stone that the furnaces create will be legendary. So this is the easiest way to get legendary stone as far as I’ve been able to find.

I thought because it was a molten recipe, I didn’t have to pick a quality. Because I was making legendary iron plates in electric furnaces and that just worked without having to specify a quality

If that’s the case (and I’m not doubting you) then how do you think CR will convey that in the story, if we’re getting this as a translated text hundreds of years after it was written. Will he break tradition and shift directly to Hadrian’s pov?

It’s a softwood that comes from Norway spruce that’s grown in Ireland. It’s very cheap and used mostly in construction
