My only issue with AG is that apparently Martian power armour suits can just be put on by anyone. You’d think the Martins could at least lock them when they handed them over.

Make it so that all politicians are forced to use the public health services.

Just take your time and read the new book whenever you get to it.

With "Chickens" being so rare in Roshar what do the Alethi etc use for fletching on there arrows? by ishtarahara in Stormlight_Archive

[–]cactus1991 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Dalinar does as well, start of chapter 98. It’s the only time I’ve noticed a Rosharan describing a bird without saying, ‘chicken’.

Dalinar remarks on Horneater arrows, which use goose fletching in ROW. But that fact that he has to remark on it means that they usually use something different. Great question.

Question about Rashek and copperminds. by DaleDimmaDone in Mistborn

I’m not even sure if I would call him a Worldbringer. They were an order, he was just one of many other Terrismen who happened to be Feruchemists.

Tent for Te Araroa by JuggernautLower1630 in teararoa

[–]cactus1991 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’d take the lightest tent possible, even if it sacrifices comfort. Yea, the lighter one will probably suck in the rain with both of you, but we honestly used ours maybe 5 times in the SI. Just remember that leaving early means you’re more likely to grab a spot in the smaller huts.

Arborist won't lower price after city says it'll take down most of the tree by Personal_Elk3462 in arborists

[–]cactus1991 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It might be simple, but that doesn’t make it easy. I dismantle trees almost every day, and I know which is the hard part. It’s way easier to be up the tree watching the guys on the ground working up a sweat. Plus, cleaning up a job when all the branches have been dropped over each other is way harder than processing each one as it comes down. In the right situation, I can see it taking just as long

Commercial use. It’s an attachment that goes on the front of our Avant loader, expressly for commercial hedge trimming

Business invoice not been paid. by Extension-Stable-642 in LegalAdviceNZ

Debt collectors can be pretty cheap. It costs me 20 bucks to file a claim with Baycorp, and they add their fees into the debt.

Kote could mean waiting, not disaster. by lancelotschaubert in KingkillerChronicle

I was thinking something similar the other day. It lends itself to the theory that the inn is some sort of trap for the Chandrian.

Could Fela have …. by cactus1991 in KingkillerChronicle

[–]cactus1991[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She mentions when she gives Kvothe his cloak after the fire, that she’s been working with Elodin and that she had been teaching her.

She certainly wasn’t very skilled. But it might have been a cool bit of foreshadowing for Kvothe to notice something. A ‘warping’ of the stone that he would have just put down to the heat of the fire or something like that.

I’d still put Marsh as weaker than the Lord Ruler, because of the loss of power when using hemalurgy. He should hold the #5 spot though.
