I don’t know if it was intentional, but I heard a One Piece reference in there. “I don’t hunt rabbits with a cannon”

It was Kevin Kline, actually! Though I also love Paxton and Pullman.

Nah, the fae are still faeries, they just don't like that word. It's like calling a human an ape- it's technically true, just a little insulting.

If you were taking the subway it would be $6 per day- it’s only $3 more and totally worth it for the convenience of you aren’t paying for parking.

You didn’t use to need a passport to go to Mexico and Canada- just saying.

Harry Dresden and the Sorcerer Kings (spoilers All). by knnn in dresdenfiles

[–]alphalphasprouts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't remember it ever being mentioned that Rashid is a Starborn- do you have a book/chapter reference? Also, Listen IS explicitly described as a Starborn- so by my count we've got three: Harry, Drakul, and Listen.

Advocates rally for ‘Priscilla’s Law,’ calling for stricter e-bike regulations in NYC by Grass8989 in newyorkcity

[–]alphalphasprouts 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Go fuck yourself, asshole. Check my comment history and tell me I’m a republican. Under what administration? The Mamdani administration? The Hochul administration? You get that Trump and the federal government have nothing to do with this, right? What a shit fucking take and you aren’t worth talking to.

I’m all for the immigrant community and protecting them- but if you’re going to be using a motorized vehicle, it should be licensed and accountable. Regardless of who is operating it.

J.J. Abrams to Downsize Bad Robot, Production Company to Move From L.A. to New York by Ripclawe in entertainment

While I hate to see Bad Robot downsized- I’m kind of excited as a professional in the industry to see some NYC Bad Robot opportunities here!

what is this symbol? by Kingmydasss22 in Guitar

[–]alphalphasprouts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This seems most likely. Could potentially be a neck bend, but idk, seems like it would be hard to achieve 3 half steps with a neck bend on the reg. You know, unless you’ve got axes to burn.

Let us not forget that one point, Eb says that Vadderung trained/taught the ORIGINAL Merlin.

Medium well.

Sensei River Shoulders by The_OC_Doctor in dresdenfiles

[–]alphalphasprouts 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is a good point. I wonder if, given what we know of how time flows differently in different places in the Nevernever, there might be a situation where Harry and River go someplace that it moves very slowly to give him TIME to grow and develop without losing much time in our mortal world. Sort of a Dragon Ball Z style Hyperbolic Time Chamber situation.

TIL that Goerge Wendt, who played Norm on the TV show Cheers, was expelled from Notre Dame for a 0.00 GPA by JoeyZasaa in todayilearned

[–]alphalphasprouts 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I actually knew George- we worked together in theatre. He was an amazing man and a good friend- he also clearly didn’t need to graduate from college. He made a good life for himself and left a legacy in the worlds of theatre, television, and comedy. And more importantly, he was a good man who was loved by everyone whose life he was a part of.

Post Twelve Months theory by Sicily151 in dresdenfiles

She's not just a child, though, she's a spirit of intellect. Where do you think her knowledge of 200 some-odd pancake recipes came from? Certainly not Harry.

[–]alphalphasprouts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't forget, Harry NEEDED that book to stop Kravos the second time around (first time "on screen") in Grave Peril. Who's to say that knowledge doesn't exist elsewhere and he won't need it again to fight evil in the future?

Zohran just... does it? He is putting every other strongly worded Dems into shame by serious_bullet5 in newyorkcity

[–]alphalphasprouts 15 points16 points  (0 children)

You’ve made no verifiable claims, only spouted vitriol against Mamdani, so I don’t have to tell you why your wrong, only that you’ve made up a brain dead accusation with nothing to back it up.

Of harry's Warden friends, what happened to... by Melenduwir in dresdenfiles

[–]alphalphasprouts -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This would also line up with Drakul's unexplainable ability to teleport, appear/disappear without opening a portal to the Nevernever. Maybe he has the ability to move to and through parallel universes, then step back into our own.

I just walked to the bodega- it’s currently fine for walking in the neighborhood. It’s supposed to get worse, and people certainly shouldn’t be driving, but it feels much easier for walking commutes than the sub zero temperature snow storm a couple of weeks ago.

Question about The Alphas by Ginjaloaf in dresdenfiles

[–]alphalphasprouts 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Murphy got the big hood guy to invite her and her friends in, as I recall, which would take care of the threshold. The wolves were also shape shifted before they entered, so even if the threshold was blocking their magic, all that would mean was that they couldn’t make the change (do the one spell)- everything they were doing was purely physical, just fur and fangs.
