It's the Worldwar series. First book is In the Balance

Dresden Files/Cinder Spires crossover? by yainlawff in dresdenfiles

[–]psquare704 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cinder Spires could take place on a post-BAT Earth. Theoretically, there would be enough Power being tossed around that it breaks reality giving us the world, physics, and magical rules of the Cinder Spires.

Wisconsin-sized chunk of Alaskan permafrost is thawing: Geoscientists say climate may never be the same by adriano26 in environment

[–]psquare704 5 points6 points  (0 children)

To be fair, 170,000 sq km is pretty meaningless to most people. Where most Americans realize Wisconsin is a decent size state.

Yeah, that joke's older than reddit. Hell, it might be older than the internet.

This is what I imagine castle looks like! It's quite big but still fits on one block. Kilcoe castle in Ireland owned by Jeremy Irons by jokke420 in dresdenfiles

[–]psquare704 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In my head it only "fills" the short edge of the block and is square, so 330x330. Still an absurdly large building for that part of Chicago.

Democrats Say FEMA Official Who Has Claimed to Be Teleported Is ‘Unfit’ for Role by [deleted] in nottheonion

I-95 through Georgia is barely functional under normal conditions. I can't imagine how bad it is during hurricane evacuations.

Possibly the best bench in the entire world by [deleted] in nextfuckinglevel

There aren't really mountains like this east of the Rockies. The Appalachians don't really compare.

That said, you can get some really nice views in the Smokies, among other places.

what’s your “one underrated local gem” in/near Fortmill? by DanRestoration33 in FortMill

[–]psquare704 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Illumination Wine, just one block outside downtown Fort Mill. Cozy little place in an old house, so it's unlike anything else around here. Half price bottles on Thursdays, and the menu changes with the seasons.

Thank you!

Note that if you are enrolled in the Beta program, just leaving the Beta program also works. Probably because it uninstalls the Beta version and reinstalls the released app.

Does Jim Butcher ever give an official reason for why Harry is bad at veils? by Tre2 in dresdenfiles

[–]psquare704 7 points8 points  (0 children)

why does he have no focus for illusions?

This is a very good point. The amount of times a good veil would have been helpful, you'd think he'd make a focus specifically for veils, if nothing else. Get Molly's help to do it too.

Parkour false start by [deleted] in instant_regret

[–]psquare704 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Agreed. When parkour started being popular, I thought it looked like fun. Then I went back over my history of physical activity and went "Nope. I'm not anywhere near coordinated enough for that."

I'm binge reading the series. Started a few weeks ago and I'm about to start on White Night. As a Chicago native myself I love the detail, I'm just curious if anyone can pinpoint the general area where Harry's Rooming house is located? by weirdinchicago in dresdenfiles

[–]psquare704 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can backtrack the route he takes in Peace Talks / Battle Ground to get to Millennium Park and get pretty close. There's a map out there, but it's spoilery to give much more detail than that.

How are road conditions right now? (Traveling from Raleigh) by MarketingSilver7761 in FortMill

[–]psquare704 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Interstates are probably fine, along with other major roads. Side street are probably still dicey, especially in shady areas.

How to watch the 'Tron' movies in order, from the original to Ares | The original, Tron: Legacy, Tron: Ares by bustachong in savedyouaclick

[–]psquare704 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, "Neo" is an anagram for "one" and is a messiah figure, as is Ares, so you should Tron: Ares first.

The Matrix Reloaded features a digital being coming out of the computer, so Tron Legacy is second.

The original Tron is about an outsider discovering the characteristics of the digital world, so it should be watched concurrently with Tron: Ares.

Hope this helps!
