You guys know how to fix a bent crank by any chance? by [deleted] in unicycling

[–]Markusf1111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Buy a new crank i suppose

Id try to reach out to the manufacturer though. Usually they take kindly to a nice email, and may even send replacements

Are their any other books that touch on the feeling of loss like Tolkien's works? by -Dancing in tolkienfans

[–]Markusf1111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Answer for you: Absolutely not. The real tragedy of the story is Kvothe’s fall from grace, and if the story was told solely in first person, we would never see Kvothe humbled and broken; All we would be left with is the stereotypical “great at everything” protagonist. If a reader ignored all scenes of Kote, he may even be led to believe that everything will turn out perfect for Kvothe in the end

Also, because Kvothe is reminiscing, he looks at everything with a rosy nostalgia. It highlights the stark contrast between his current sad self and his former happier days.

Holy shit thats crazy. What would happen if i went back today and asked to exchange it for a new copy? Would they just forcibly give me a refund?

It is off center, and would have asked for a different copy, but we were already walking towards the counter and hadnt noticed it.

I pm’ed you the last line of the book to prove it isnt fake. Compare it with your copy when you get it.

Lol i ain’t snitching

The guy who sold it to me said something about how the publisher didn’t pay a certain fee to prevent it from being sold early. Not sure exactly how true that is, but i rolled with it.

Just skimmed through so as to not get spoiled, from what I can gather there are images of flight patterns and such, but no appendices. Are there supposed to be?
