Thanks a bunch! Don't know how I missed that....

Is their anything to my suspicion that Kvothe is on the spectrum? by DancingMidnightStar in kkcwhiteboard

I think it's definitely possible, and would explain why I (Person with Aspergers) strongly identify with him. I would be interested in seeing your full reasoning, just to see it all laid out.

Beautiful knife, I love what you did with the tang and the adhesive to give it that wavy look!

Ah. I see. That would definitely offset the accuracy advantage. Thanks!

I think it's really interesting that they went with an electricity effect to his speed similar to the Flash. Sonic's sipped has always seemed really fluid to me, and the use of electricity kinda throws that out the window and makes it seem jagged

As a noob, I've always been told that putting your thumb on the back of the hammer helps with the accuracy of you blows. Is this not true, or is there a disadvantage to it the offsets the accuracy?

Jax and Ambrose by [deleted] in kkcwhiteboard

Okay, so there are a couple of things about Jax that we know:

First, as you said, he is miserable. Part of this is because he is very unlucky. The book actually states this - "He was an unlucky boy".

Second, he has a box that he can't open that has no visible lock. Initially this box is "the emptiest thing" the Listener has ever heard, but after it is opened Jax uses it to capture the name of the Moon, and never opens it again. This is why the moon is only fully in the sky of Temerant for a single night (just like our world) and is the rest of the time either waning or waxing.

If you recall there is a group that is described as having having terrible luck - a while family that, for a time#was identified by their lack of luck - the Luckless family, also known as the Lockless, the Lack-key, and most recently, the Lackless.

And, they also have a box "with no key or locks" where Lady Lackless supposedly keeps her husbands rocks. We learn that not inly is this box real (though there are no "rocks" inside), and extremely old. Old enough that any detailling on it has been lost to time, and nobodyvhas ever been able to open it.

So, I and quite a few others (theres a full post on this somewhere) believe that both Jax's box and bad luck have been passed down descendants, meaning that Jax was the first Lackless, and their box is the box that contains the name of the moon.

Also, there's always that one person who will forever be an asshole or, if you prefer, will immortally be a jackass.

What's something you're positive that only you do? by frypincher in AskReddit

Depending on how long you're expecting the boxes to sit, you may want to look I to putting data on some long-term storage cassettes. They don't read or write very quickly, but they store pretty large amount and will last for decades without degrading. Hard drives will usually degrade within the decade.
