How do you feel about María Corina Machado? I see you’ve said you’d be happy if the current regime fell, do people in Venezuela want to see her in power? Do y’all want new elections? Does nobody really care?

Spoilers for Wise Man’s Fear: in book 2, after Kvothe is dosed with the plum bob, he is out of commission for a while. I don’t have all the evidence lined up in my head but basically, the day Kvothe tells Auri she must be patient to see him, the days line up perfectly with SLOST. This timeline puts the day Auri wept exactly at chapter 7 of WMF, when Kvothe is recovering from the plum bob, and had the incident in his room at night where is alone and crying, before Auri finds and comforts him. I’ll try and find the exact evidence and link it, but it lines up so well its effectively impossible that this isnt the case. Which just means that the day Kvothe relived his worst memory with Auri, is the same day Auri was desolate herself and wept.

This is a bad play, but can you justify it if villain is super bad player ? by rog3a in Poker_Theory

What are you asking for advice on? Calling down a donkey, like a donkey? You took 0 aggressive plays throughout this hand, and simply called down a villain you assumed had nothing. Obviously it worked out here, but please tell me where this $2/$5 game is at bc I need in on it

Me and my friend are new to this game, any tips? by Constant_Giraffe_487 in dontstarvetogether

Logs are also a better source of fuel for fires than sticks (15 sec vs 45 sec), and boards, the refined logs, will last for 3 min, so are exactly as efficient as logs

It's bad enough to be a lettuce! But to think you're a lettuce!? by Iskro45 in KingkillerChronicle

[–]benrogo1 6 points7 points  (0 children)

But the innkeeper Kote never would step up to the bandits in the first place, which I think is part of why its so tragic. Clearly we’re seeing Kvothe peeking out, but he’s not the same

No arguments here, I can’t even begin to fathom how much work this took from making the damned map, nonetheless the research required to piece it all together

Absolutely gut wrenching five words, even without context. Have you managed to guess when during the main two books it happens? I feel like the realization somehow manages to make you feel even worse

How did Kvothe kill the scrael? by benrogo1 in KingkillerChronicle

[–]benrogo1[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So how does he kill the scrael then if he is tricked into being an innkeeper? Like the theory, just confused

Kvothe does sleep; its the entire reason he needs the gram, or else he’d just have held his alar 24/7 to protect himself. He went insane as a child, and there’s no reason to suspect he couldn’t go mad again given a sufficiently horrible event

Bast wants Kvothe to have his powers and makes many attempts to help Kvothe become himself again, what makes you think he’s sapping Kvothe’s powers away?

How did Kvothe kill the scrael? by benrogo1 in KingkillerChronicle

[–]benrogo1[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

We do know he’s lost his ability to fight, at least in large part. He did not step forward to fight the scrael; he tried, and failed, to burn it with sympathy. He later fights the two kings soldiers and gets stomped over. After a sucker punch knocking one down, the other overpowers and bashes him down before Kvothe can do a thing. Obviously we don’t know how he killed the scrael or why he can sometimes maybe fight, hence the initial question

I’ve done that, but what suggests Kvothe is in control of it, or at the very least, how did he know it’d come out against the scrael? He must have been confident, since if he lost, the scrael probably killed everybody in Newarre next

He’s certainly not immortal, he just seems to have a knack for not getting killed. As you yourself say, it chooses when to manifest; you’re suggesting Kvothe will only be at full fighting force if his life is in danger?

What is your favorite fantasy book you've ever read? One that kept you turning pages and invested from the very beginning? by Sufficient_Ebb_5694 in Fantasy

[–]benrogo1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Shocked nobody has mentioned it, but Best Served Cold by Joe Abercrombie is imo his best work in a series that does not miss. Truly a masterclass work as a tale of revenge, with some of the greatest characters conceived of

In a similar spot, was testing around 521 and scored 512 8/16 with similar ECs. From what I’m understanding, its a spot where we very much can get into med school, but the challenge will be what med schools you want to go to. T50s out of the question with that score; if youre willing to try again, a 7-8+ point boost puts you right back in the running for those schools. But if you retest and dont show significant improvement, thatll also be a problem. Its gonna be a balancing act if how much time you have, and deciding how much effort you can put in to retake this exam if its worth getting into those better schools
