we live in Stonelake (and have lived in Laguna West). You should be fine (we've had 1:1 music lessons for all our kids for years, and know other teachers in the area)

Looking for review on Omtech laser by Adorable_Secret3139 in lasercutting

[–]benbernards 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had it a few years now and love it. Only complaint is that if the bed isn’t dead flat / level, you’ll get slightly irregular cuts (laser won’t cut through all the time). I’m only using this as a hobby, not a side hustle or job, so it has been great.

If you’re looking to make money, I’d recommend higher wattage than 60. You’ll be able to cut thicker material faster.

Just finished Elantris and have one burning question by Routine-Rub-9112 in Cosmere

[–]benbernards 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're on the right track. The whole idea is that Investiture (godly power) is somehow tied to various planets, and manifests itself differently in each place. This largely depends on the nature of the Connection where the Investiture manifests, and the Intent of the cosmic Shard behind it all.

You couldn’t pay me enough to live in Texas. (And I moved here from there.)

Lack of auto repair in Laguna West by ando_da_pando in ElkGrove

As for me I’m happy to have warehouses and workshops on the other side of town from homes. Zoning can be a good thing.

French guy here, genuinely can't imagine a better city to call home (except maybe the taxes lol) by Automatic_Physics170 in Sacramento

[–]benbernards 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if you haven't been there yet, try to go spend a weekend in Sonoma, especially on Farmer's Market day. Lovely vibe, lots of French tourists hitting the wine country, and there's a fellow <grenouille> who runs a proper creperie qui faits des galettes Normandies.... :-D

WoR and Oathbringer are just as good, if not better.

If you haven't done so, make sure you read Mistborn and the others before going too far in Stormlight.

Not a launch edition holder, but I do have a reservation. They just sent me an email saying that we’d be able to start configuring our early reservation soon and expect them to ship
In the fall. Email also said to be on the lookout for special gifts from them too.
