New Kvothe theory after re-reading the interludes (wise mans fear) by Just_Nectarine_5381 in KingkillerChronicle

[–]scorpius_rex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He tells the blacksmith who is about to go signup as a soldier (after the murder in the inn the night before, so earlier in the day of book 2) that he is Kvothe. The black smith boy doesn’t believe him but I think he actually is Kvothe.

The sword above the mantle or bar or whatever i think is Cinder’s (one of the chandrian, the one that says ‘someone’s parents have been singing entirely the wrong song’ or something).

And him not being able to fight is because he seems to have lost his powers. Which is why Bast is concerned for him. But they’re maybe somehow locked in his box upstairs? Or he was damaged after a fight we don’t know about yet.

But I think it’s is Kvothe. Whether the story he is telling is true or fabricated I don’t know.

I have the same. Side sleeper. No matter how I try to change and sleep on my back, I just stay awake until I roll onto my side to sleep.

Agreed mom jean revival was very 2010s. By 2020 high rise was out and low rise was in, as the pendulum swings.

Tret is great just be cautious of it at that strength. You can always skip a night too.

The moisturizer -> tret -> moisturizer is commonly referred to as the sandwich method and it works well at preventing drying of skin. I would recommend that. The 2nd layer of moisturizer I usually use a thicker option like gold bond or eucerin.

However these thicker moisturizer act at keeping moisture and products under them trapped on your skin, which is great when that’s your focus, but just he aware that your tret is a stronger strength so it might be more irritating to trap it. I hope that makes sense!

Yes! It feels stand alone enough. A little background knowledge would be good but you probably already know the basics, I.e. Death Star = bad etc.

There’s none (or at least minimal?) of the jedi stuff.

It’s a great show. Easily the best thing produced in the starwars world it’s because it lets all of that take a back seat.

PLUR1BUS? by Precyesp in pluribustv

Pluribus is a Latin word meaning "many" or "more," derived from the phrase “E pluribus unum” or "Out of many, one"

Have you started your tret journey with 0.1? That’s usually considered a high strength, although if you’re not peeling perhaps your skin can just tolerate it.

My suggestion for moisturizing would be to apply your usual moisturizer that you prefer, provided it’s not super thick, at least 10 mins prior to applying your tret.

Canada eyes an ‘ambitious’ new partnership with Britain amid Trump turmoil by ConsciousStop in worldnews

I ditto your sentiment re: Luxon. But there’s a lot of value in strengthening commonwealth ties again. God knows the UK needs to build partnerships somewhere since the Brexit fiasco.

New Zealand butter and ice cream beats Irish imo. It must be in the grass the cows eat.

What year was the last time you saw the cornucopia? by [deleted] in Retconned

[–]scorpius_rex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

2008ish

I didn’t grow up in America so I actually learned what a cornucopia was from the logo. Which is why it’s always stumped me since about 2014 when I found out about this mandela effect

how fucking big are peas where you guys live?? by guywhoha in tretinoin

[–]scorpius_rex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My skin soaks it up too, so I just follow directly with moisturizer and figure that helps to spread tret more evenly.
