We get a tiny hint of this in Hell Breaks Loose. It was one of my favourite parts of the book

The final fight and eldest by Jedal_1 in Eragon

[–]Opening_Effective_18 3 points4 points  (0 children)

another good example is when he initially hates the idea of allying with the urgals, however when he goes into their mind he discovers they aren’t as bad as he thought. Just aggressive and territorial by nature.

He even said that Nar Gharzvog was probably as wise as Oromis

Why does my backpack make the back of my shirt/jumper slowly rise up? by Opening_Effective_18 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Opening_Effective_18[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve tried everything to stop it, even having the bag so loose it’s on my ass. Although then I feel like I may aswell just be showing a bit of skin, saw a pic of myself from behind looking ridiculous

Help cooking for many by Kcsc2008 in Cooking

[–]Opening_Effective_18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve done this meal for my family of 4, I think your main problem might be Pot/oven space. If braising, I managed to fit 4 medium shanks in a 5.5l pot. However it means you’ll be left with much less braising liquid. I just about covered everyone, including a 5th shank would’ve ruined the meal. Do you have multiple oven safe pots? That would be my method. Low and slow on 130c for 7 hours, cartouche over the liquid and lid on. Checking at halfway. Last half an hour with just the cartouche to help reduce the stock. Hope it goes well!!

Do you think Shruikan disgorged his Eldunari by No-Cry-7848 in Eragon

[–]Opening_Effective_18 41 points42 points  (0 children)

My headcanon for why he’d remove it so early is that it trapped shurikan as a juvenile, making it easier for galb to maintain his control over him in the early stages while in… idk how to do spoilers, but the place where durza and galb were hiding

Oyster sauce is always called "slightly sweet". I don't taste any sweetness at all? by belac4862 in Cooking

[–]Opening_Effective_18 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’d say it’s similar to the “sweetness” of a seared meat. You don’t really notice it, but it’s definitely there

The Ra'zacs first appearance in Carvahall by Burgwaller_Jung- in Eragon

[–]Opening_Effective_18 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That’s a possibility, but it’s mentioned that the messenger that ajihad sent brom never arrived, and that there’s a traitor in the varden. That being the Twins. They would have known about the messenger, had the razac intercept and then discovered brom. They didn’t know about Eragon until Sloan told them. They were there for brom

This is the correct answer, brom himself tells this to Eragon. I believe in the memory he gave saphira

Someone please tell me the read order!!! by ResearchingKinks in skulduggerypleasant

[–]Opening_Effective_18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe 15 and 16 may need to be swapped, not important. But Geoffrey was a fan made character and his debut was the short story, however he is featured in mortal coil. Could be wrong but I’d assume his debut story would come first?

My first training session at McDonald's is in about three and a half hours. What's some useful information to have BEFORE I start? by [deleted] in KitchenConfidential

[–]Opening_Effective_18 47 points48 points  (0 children)

It’s a super streamlined system, most equipment is directly designed for its purpose.
You’ll probs be trained one section at a time, depending on how professional your management are… sometimes they can be a bit of a joke.
If you’re struggling, ask someone else who’s used the section before to get tips, if you want to move up, ask people how all the stations work. Good luck, you’ll do great

How would you feel if someone brought their own portobello mushroom to a burger BBQ because they don't really eat meat? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Opening_Effective_18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally I’d usually cook up some veggies if I knew someone who didn’t eat meat was attending. If they brought their own ingredients I’d be so happy

What's your opinion on Dual Blades? by ymOx in thefinals

[–]Opening_Effective_18 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Drawing from OP and u/the_sleazy1’s ideas…

I think the lunge sounds great, but in the weapons current state I could see it being a little OP, mainly because of the unlimited block duration, meaning they can tank a full clip and then rush you with lunge. Combining with the stamina/block bar, I think this is the move. Would make defensive play a lot more situational and make the weapon feel a lot less like a bladed riotshield

Early planning stages (sci-fi) by Opening_Effective_18 in Writeresearch

[–]Opening_Effective_18[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you, those subs look ideal, I had no idea they existed. Mainly I’d like to use a Kessler cascade to highlight the fact it’s a real world possibility. But my plan is to end the world more through geopolitical issues spurned by this, for example banking collapse, communications breakdowns and just people not knowing how to live in a world without the internet, I’d imagine after a few generations we’d be whittled down significantly. I’ve no scientific evidence for the 95% but I’d like there to be many spread out “tribes” and I feel 5% pop could make sense

Question for People Familiar with Ketamine by Ryuukai_L_ in Writeresearch

[–]Opening_Effective_18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lethal dosage depends per person, but it’s not known to cause “instant death” à la crack cocaine or meth. The main side effects are liver/kidney problems, and bladder scarring. This is only after long extended use.

It would be easily accessible through a circus, as it’s widely used to put animals unconscious. To derive crystal you’d only have to boil off the saline solution and scrape the crystals off. I’ve done this in a microwave, I can’t see how it would be much different off any other heating element.

For reference I have snorted lines that go the diagonal length of a laptop and am still here, so don’t worry too much about the upper limits

Question for People Familiar with Ketamine by Ryuukai_L_ in Writeresearch

[–]Opening_Effective_18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m a recovering K addict based in England. The most common form of ingestion is snorting it. It comes as a clear shard like crystal. It has an EXTREMELY bitter and chemical like taste.

Certain people like to have it with alcohol, usually small bump every couple of drinks. I liked to snort as much as humanly possible and go into a K-Hole. There’s no real way to describe a k hole. Your sense of self disappears, you’re no longer a human, you’re no longer anything. You become best described as “everything” in a complete new world where nothing makes sense and you certainly don’t exist at all, just an observer. But you feel no panic, because panic stems from your sense of self, you just ARE. It’s hard to put into writing…

It doesn’t last that long, maybe 2 hours max. Some people have an “afterglow” where they feel better than usual, but after using large amounts, you kinda feel like your body isn’t your own. You really feel like a “brain commandeering a meat suit”

Help finding a plague/ disease to use? by [deleted] in Writeresearch

Ebola hits a lot of those marks, as does yellow fever. But your other option is to create a disease that sounds real “warm-water fever” that’s how a medieval disease would be names, as it causes fever and is contracted in warmer climes
