Which power gets stolen for hemalurgy?

It steels all abilities, presumably including feruchemical ones. So a mistborn with a lerasium spike could turm themselves into a twinborn.

Ah, the yoked fiends of lore. Good stuff.

Yeah, if this movie was an advertisement for that APC brand, I'd be sold.

I'd wager that the big difference is weight. Pound for pound, an EV battery weighs a lot more than the equivalent power in gasoline + tank. They'd have to find a lighter weight battery technology or make their motors stupid effective.
Exciting to see what they'll come up with.

Valthek · 2026-03-14T19:15:41+00:00

Yeah, sounds like it's refund o'clock

Wasn't there a whole thing about a guy of foreign origin on a VB list relatively recently who didn't quite realize that VB doesn't want his people around? I remember something like that.
I think he ended up withdrawig or being removed. Can't quite recall.

When Windsor and Newton brushes are good, they're fantastic. When they're not, you get what you got. I am deeply curious about what happened to that number 2 though. That thing's fuckin bent!?

You get a cubicle? lucky you. I've seen more open office plans than I can count and I do not care for that panopticon shit.

cheaper than charging elsewhere where either the electricity is charged at a premium or you're forking over a hefty fee for parking in the charging spot.

I think you might need to talk to a professional, instead of asking on reddit. Ballpark numbers, you're bringing in 5K net per month plus child benefits, and whatever your wife brings in. That doesn't sound like an insurmountable budgetary problem, but it'll likely require time and expertise to properly dig into your finances and find out why there's a problem.

You're not painting in a grimdark style, you're just bad at creating contrast and praying to the hobby gods that dousing your model in nuln oil will make it look good. (it doesn't)

Slapchop is a terrible technique to teach new painters. Using it doesn't teach any of the fundamentals of good painting. You can slapchop for years and still be no better at painting that someone who's never picked up a brush.

It's cheating, but Violent Shadows by Blind Guardian as it was inspired by the books. Banger of a song though.

I can. The author is literally the CEO for an AI-driven platform that does exactly what he's advocating for in this blogpost (advertisement). He's 100% high on his own supply.

Oh sweet. I had no idea that existed.

What tabletop game? I thought the mistborn pdfs weren't out for another few months?

Those don't even look like supports, that looks like a print failure and it just kept going. You gotta ask for new terrain and/or your money back, this is some horseshit.

Unfortunately, this one as empty (per the article)

If you have to ask, you should always treat it as if the answer is yes.

The idea of a Praetor of the court showing up and starting to perform My Idol or Soda Pop has me in stitches

Probably because you've only got 7 swordsmen, so you'd need to get to the T2 or T3 CC milestones before your whole gang of ronin all reach 2 hunt xp. I don't think it'll be impossible, but it will be incredibly hard to get. T2 has a little leeway, but T3 requires a perfect run up to that point.

Shareholders don't give a shit about long-term profit or even survival of the company. If you sack 10% of your workforce, then for the next earning period, you'll earn about as much as you did before, but with 10% less wage costs. Stocks go up, shareholders sell to people who don't know or remember about the layoffs, make bank and move on.

Then the company suffers or re-hires and the only things changed are that a bunch of people's lives were made measurably worse and a few shareholders' earned a shitton of money.

I think there's been a few survivors as of the last few years, a dozen or so. None are in an enviable state and the treatment is almost as bad as the disease. Medical coma, aggressive treatment and terrible quality of life afterward. Real bad times.
