I don't believe so, but that was in Navada. It was just a big alien themed party. People had fun and left.

In NYC though....people + fun???

The real question is can you source ink for it?

Preferably 3rd party, but a quick look shows HP ink on sale for $20 at Walmart.

As for the printer itself, never connect it to the internet. If your router has the right features, you should be able to get it on the network without giving it internet. You shouldnt need to update unless whatever version it's on happened to be broken.

I always understood it as guiding the lightning through your body in a path that doesn't kill you. I assume it has to be converted into an energy that doesn't cook you along the way. The energy can't just be absorbed or directly pass through sensitive points such as the heart, so it must sent back out, converting it back to lightning in the process.

I believe the energy conversion step is limited to a fire bender. If anyone tried this, they'd just fry themselves.

That's how I think of it, no idea what cannon is.

c/tenforward

I see

True, but still a horrifying thought if someone does figure out how to weaponize it.

Which part?

The Kyoshi part?

That's chapter 1 of the book, and pretty minor to the plot. I don't think readers are surprised to find out that she was the Avavatr

She look a short vacation lol, she came back and did Avatar stuff (see comics).

Her loss of Avatar cycle was just crappy writing. The Avatar State in ATLA and the novels was "god mode". Korra got a "small power boost" so the plot can happen. Avatar state Korra should have creamed Unalaq before he ever got the chance to merge with Vatu.

That being said, I look forward to the series moving on too. I do hope they can band-aid adult Korra's character in flash backs/spirit world with out just deleting her personalitly.

Leak Spoiler

That's certainly is an interesting direction. Being post-apocalypse could help bring us back into "fantacy" territory, especially for future Avatars.

Although it's shitty for the white lotus to take 1 twin, but leave the other limping around on the streets.

Finally, the hardest thing for me to believe is that Jinora didn't deus ex machina prevent the apocalypse?

spoiler Minor Kyoshi chapter 1 spoiler. It also gives Kyoshi misidentification vibes. We already did that guys, let's do something else. Cut the misidentification part, and have no one out there looking. Maybe instead, at some point this kid finds out by mistake she the Avatar and now her and her twin have to keep the secret while accidentally doing avatar things (I.e helping people and getting into trouble). :::

Alright let's go over these 1 by 1. My commentary is looking at this chart (and many like it) as a list of different bending styles. If was just a chart of different techniques, it'd be fine.

It has been a while since I've read the books, and I hasn't read Roku yet, so my book knowloage and overall memory isn't 100%

I may be entirely wrong here and there or forgot something that could change/add to my quick analysis of everything from memory.

Also not questioning the existence of any thing (cough spirit bending cough), just deciding if they are a separate form of bending or just a technique/skill within the main form.

Air

(This is the most negative)

• flight - to me that's just an advanced air bender technique. The "unlock" is dubious as best, specifically how Zaher was able to unlock it pretty quick after ...events.
• Temperature - earth benders are the only ones without an obvious method to do this. Ignoring that, Any air bender seemed to be able to it, putting it under the technique category.
• spirit projection - sprit stuff does not equal air. Yes air benders are the most spiritual in culture, but nothing is stopping an earth bender from pulling this off.
• sound - as described in the book, Yangchen just used airbending to make loud noise. While it is a specific technique, any bender can do that with their element.
• vacuum - a vacuum has no air. You can't bend nothing. I believe this refers to the technique where the air is removed from a space, but that's just air bending.

Water

I modified the order to group a few of these together.

• Healing and Spirit - no complaints here. These are both unique enough to consider them separate from water bending. (Unlike projection, sprit actually uses water as the medium to accomplish the task, so its still water)

• Blood and Plant - technically they are just bending the water inside something else, but if we count metal and blood, then plant should be included too. The control and finese required sperate these from mud.

• mud - I though about including it with blood and water, but no. If picking up a fish with water is called water bending, so is picking up a rock. I will accept it is more difficult to bend, perhaps feeling heavier to bend.

• Ice and Steam - these are phase changes. While a more advance technique, the questions is do they stay? I think if we consider lava bending as changing the phase of Earth to liquid, then it stands to reason both ice and steam can stay. However, from a bending cultural perspective, these should be lumped into mainstream water bendebendeing.

Earth

• Metal and Glass - no complaints.
• Sand - technically just tiny rocks, however the bending style is different enough I consider is its own thing
• Crystal - I think Aang, a novice earth bender (s2 finale), being able to ustlize it without thinking twice shows its not really different from earth bending.
• Seismic - a unique technique for sure, but to count as an entirely separate form of bending is questionable.
• Bone - a thought more horrifying than blood. Yes, its own thing.
• Lava - to me this is Earth bending, but in a super hot liquid form. I think by nature the technique and bending is different enough to count it. (Which forces ice and steam into their own spot)
• Mud - see water

Fire

• Lightning - yes
• Redirection - I consider lighting redirection to be lighting bending. Who cares if you generated it or not, earth benders don't make rocks, but its still earth bending.
• Combustion - unique enough to count.
• Dragon Fire - I'll equate this to sand bending, and consider it separate a bending style.
• Heat Redirection - no. That's a technique of fire bending.
• Plasma - I don't recall when this was shown, so no comment.
• "shaman" chi bending - I equate it to water bender healing.

Sound is from Yangchen, although I believe it was more of a technique to make loud noise with air. That being said, technically any bender can use their element to make a loud noise.
