  • Keep going! I wrapped those up earlier this year and still miss Vins exploits. Worth it and I wanted more. I need to get through storm light before listening to the next generation of mistborne.

    I’m working on the way of kings, Caladan is the freaking man, can’t wait to see how he develops. His little wind spirit just let us in on what she really is… not going to leak storm light here though.

    I am following his recommended cosmete order so tress and warbreaker were - nice stand alones that reminds me of Pratchett. Also great tidbits about the cosmere.

    I’ll be on Brandon books at least another year I think. Thanks to his work on WoT.







  • With a simple NPV calc it’s obvious why the dlc is a complete waste of time. I mean we could easily afford to hire another team that will quickly provide positive cashflow, but then the producers are going to wonder if consumers are spending less on x because of y, and x is what we used to project future revenue numbers to our board. If we don’t reach the x projection and I get canned then I’ll always regret having tried y. I mean sure y superceded all expectations, and made millions, but it also had like 800k in overhead. We should probably just lay of 300 developers who are willing to work 60 hour weeks for 40 hours of pay and decrease the level of qa/QC time on x so we can get started on x2 and push into prod, nevermind the bugs. Also I’ll need you to work Sat because the system keeps throwing exception errors



  • Omg!! Please tell me you know who makes that blue blanket. I have the same one since college 20 years ago and love it. It has almost no feathers left and I don’t care, but if I can get another I’ll be insanely happy. Haven’t been able to find that thing anywhere. Also I had an 18 yo black cat too that I lost last year, so that pict I did a double double take on.



  • Technology isn’t going to save humanity. Greatly reducing population size by limiting reproduction is the only chance for a long future for humans. Thats the most direct path, but also at odds with all of our forms of government and economics. China couldt afford to keep doing it and they understand this. Its the same with the earths ecology. We would need a massive enlightening and there are far too many material and lifestyle choices and campaigns to sway people away from our staus quo. Humanity is doomed by human greed and jealousy, it always was. But thats fine, once you come to terms with it, and if you caught it before having kids, its a pretty freeing understanding.

    Yoyo is more of a consistency issue imo. Calories in calories out is all of it. If you are yo yoing weight you are changing something at each end. I have always had that issue on diets until IF because life happens and you lose routine. With if I just dont eat unless I know its time, and my stomach is small so I fill up quicker. I bounced 230-270 for a decade. Now maintaining 190-200 and thats mostly water weight bouncing.

    Making something super basic like waffles or crepes is still gunna be a couple Bowls, measuring cups, utensils and a pan, as well as a bong, downstem and bowl… Add eggs and bacon make it 2 pans. 8-10 items to wash without plates and utensils to eat with.

    Now let’s do steak with compound butter, potatoes, and a salad.

    Cutting board, skillet, spatula, plate to salt & dehydrate steak. Cup to melt butter, garlic press. Pot for potatoes for mashing, pot for gravy if not using skillet. Spoon for tasting. Salad board, knife and spoons and Bowl to mix salad. 10-15 items and im not even high enough to be hungy enough to eat something this heavy.


  • Beautifully said. And honestly I kind of forgot about this and its a major theme. I got prrtty hung up on magic leaving/dying and the fact there were still humans like the haradrim or Easterling. I think aaragon made peace with them? I really dont know how I managed to not weight his reign with more importance, guess it shows my own bias pessimism. He was basically the perfect archetype and all the symbolism of him planting the 4th tree, etc making him more a messiah than hungry for power. I didnt really think he purged humanity of sin though … did he ever go so far to suggest that?
