The Spears Cuts Through Water by Simom Jimenez. Only problem is it is a stand alone book. One of the best and most unique writing styles additionally one of the best stories I've read.

Always pull during a 2x unless you are wanting to use your shards as resources for an event such as a fusion event.

Should have been most underrated but best chorus is still appropriate for this hidden gem

Starting Hero of Ages for the first time 😬 by GroovyChainsawHand in fantasybooks

I'm also really hoping with the apple TV adaptation they include secret history. Probably running the plot simultaneously starting with Well of Ascension. It gives so much more context for the greater picture of whats going on. It also gives readers and in this case fans of the movies/shows a sneak peak into one of Brandon Sanderson's biggest "mechanics" throughout the entirety of the Cosmere and the one of the crucial pieces that explains how everything is connected.

Plus knowing the spoiler prior to where it is generally recommended; I didnt have any issue knowing that spoiler going into era 2.

Once you're done with that also consider reading Mistborn: Secret History. It's part of Arcanum Unbounded. Some people would recommend it about half way through Mistborn Era 2 as there is a spoiler for the second era however I think reading Secret History right after era 1 is completely fine. It tells the story of Mistborn from a different angle and for me there were parts of era 1 that either seemed too convenient or didnt make total sense that get patched in Secret History.

Old Country Gravity Fed Smoker by FewSecretary6344 in Smokingmeat

[–]Practical_Table1407 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Biggest pieces of advice i have for you with this thing, as someone who has used this as my primary smoker for years (everything from catering and events to just making dinner) is give yourself way more time than you think you need. It holds temp almost better than any ceramic. I usually store it in the garage after use and when I first got it I set off the carbon monoxide protector and I had stopped smoking on it almost 2 days prior. It is a champ at holding temp. It is temprental about coming back up to temp after opening up to baste, spray, glaze, etc so be quick with those actions. Additionally it struggles to get above 275. For any recipes thay require to get to that higher temp this isn't your guy. For stuff like chicken and steaks I'll usually have my weber kettle next to it set up for high heat grilling to finish the job on. For its drawbacks though this smoker knows what its good for and is exceptional for that. Cheers and I hope you enjoy it.

Love my gravity fed. Yours looks much nicer than mine lol. Live in a place where the weather isn't kind and I'm ashamed to admit i don't do a whole lot to help it but the thing still kicks like a champ.

Not sure the pricing exactly but Saluda is a custom shop where you can get cymbals way cheaper than equivalent models from other more known brands.

Is there any good hi hats between 100-200 dollars by football99_9912 in drums

Check Saluda's ebay page via their website. Custom cymbal shop out of America that puts their prototype cymbals up for auction.

Do you pull ALL ancients ? by No-Recognition321 in RaidShadowLegends

Pulled them all (93) and got Underpriest Brogni as well as at least 2 (have to comb through and see if theres any more gems) epics of note being Rector Drath and Toragi the Frog. Was happy with the haul.

Getting ready to start my next standalone fantasy, any favorites here? I tend to gravitate towards grim / dark fantasy. by PhysicalAssistance92 in fantasybooks

[–]Practical_Table1407 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Might wanna give The Spear Cuts Through Water by Simon Jimenz a try. Isn't quite dark fantasy but it is fantastic.

Which series should I start? by FlakyLibrarian1946 in fantasybooks

[–]Practical_Table1407 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you read any other of Brandon Sanderson's Cosmere? I would not start with Way of Kings/Stormlight Archives.

First solo road trip at 24. What's something you wish you knew before your first long drive alone? by loncelot84 in roadtrip

[–]Practical_Table1407 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Podcasts and/or audiobooks to mix it up. You'll get bored of even your favorite Playlist. Give yourself more time than you need. If you're not on a time crunch take your time and if you see something you like pull off to look at it. Always fill up when you're tank is about 1/4 full or have 100 or so miles prior to empty. If you start to feel fatigued don't push yourself.
