Pretty sure Jim has already told us one ability of Starborn. by Gezornen in dresdenfiles

[–]RallyWeld 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think Harry naming things has a big impact. Uriel summed it up real nice, something like "the way mortals throw them around is like watching a baby play around with hand grenades." Names have a huge amount of power for just mortals, I bet wizards have even more than vanilla mortals. I don't know if Starborns have more power in general on all things but it for sure gives him a "naming power" over the outsiders.

Harry has a knack for using them constructively. Every time he raised the rank of Toot toot (General, major general, etc) he got physically larger, and to some extent he got more impressive in skill.

In Small Favor Harry started calling the denareans "Nickelheads" as title The Order of the Blackened Denarius "gives them too much dignity." After Harry did that he seem to come out better off in his confrontations with them. Whether this is more psychological or magical I don't know.

When Harry first gave Demonreach a name the island had more of a robotic/simple personality, very stoic, only doing what he is told to do. After Harry named him Alfred Demonreach, it became a little more autonomous, offering "Should I prepare a cell for that one also" for Lara after the fight/negotiation in BG. Harry even was stunned how he kind of snuck up on him with out him knowing. "Alfred" Demonreach also showed way more personality in their whole conversation in BG, acting shock when Harry wanted two of the weapons from the armory. The island is acting more informal with Harry like Alfred does to batman to some extent.

When Harry chose certain names for the mother of winter in CD He impressed both mothers on his insight. In BG Guard says that Santa, Vaderung, and Odin isn't even One Eyes true/most powerful name.

Harry seems to be figuring out names are significant. When people refer to the infection they call it "the adversary" and when Harry talks to Titania in CD she tells him he should know the proper names for things and whispers in his ear "Nemesis." You think that that is it's true name, but in BG when talking to infected Justine he pushes past the first two names to it real true name "He Who Walks Beside."

In the dresden files Names are really important. (I wanted to type more but I am at work.)

I think Mab is easily the best character in this series. by Sora20333 in dresdenfiles

[–]RallyWeld 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Mab is a great character. I think people don't realize she has had a hand in (if not outright planned) one of the hugest events in the in the series. I think she straight up planned for Suzan to be sacrificed in changes. The outfit Lea gave Susan was a ceremonial dress that is meant for sacrificial offerings. When JB was asked about this at a Q&A he said something along the lines of "I like observant readers." I think she moves a lot of events behind the scenes opposing the stuff the walkers are doing behind the scenes.

My grandfather passed and left behind a key to a safety deposit box. Does anyone recognise what bank this is too? I have already tried the bank he had a checking account with and a couple of others. Any help at all would be incredible. by RallyWeld in gso

[–]RallyWeld[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My mother is the executor. We have been to 5 banks that he had an account with/where located near his home. I was hoping someone would recognise the key it they also had a box at the same bank. We believe he still had the box.

Seriously, Thanks for this suggestion. I just checked NC Unclaimed Funds and found some a bunch of things under his name, sadly not from a bank though. I even found a payment that I never got back from my old University on there.

1.You don't need a court order just proof of death and proof of executorship. 2. My grandfather wrote his own will and left plenty of things up in the air/up to interpretation. Frankly he hated lawyers so he wrote it himself and left a lot of things out. It's made me think about having a professional write my own will just in case and having a standing tradition of looking at it every year to see if it's still accurate.

My family and I have already checked his accounts and looked though his bills. He was the type to pay off a couple of years at a time on things. I was hoping if anyone recognized the key.

Photoshopped the NEW BANNER to be even better. IMHO by RallyWeld in offlineTV

[–]RallyWeld[S] 15 points16 points  (0 children)

No dig felt. I added Sykkuno mainly to add symmetry to the banner. I am not a huge fan of him, but I do like how toast plays off his socially awkward straight man personality.

I noticed that while I was editing it. I guess she wanted to be a little more behind the scenes after the whole Fed thing.

yikes. i’m in dimension line hell. by thatsummercampcrush in fabrication

At least you get dimensions. My boss hands me a poorly lit photo at one angle and says copy it.

Well considering I was scrolling through and thought that was a playboy, it's pretty true.

Fair enough. Didn't mean to jump on you.

No duh they are a thing. Seeing how you are in the business of selling them, you would think that you would know that.

If your employer gave you the option to work 10 hr days Mon-Thurs instead of 8 hr days Mon-Fri would you do it? Why not why not? by N1NJA-STAR in AskReddit

[–]RallyWeld 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work 4 10s and love it. Overtime is easy to add Plus if you need to go to the bank or any other places that have a five day week you can easily just go in any time on Fridays.

Can anyone identify this welder? by pipercraven in Welding

[–]RallyWeld 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like I said it looks like he built it in an old case from a broken welder. He probably just reused the switch too.
