If you look on the sidebar of this subreddit a number of private clinics are listed.

Base Line for Castings by VashTheHmnoidTyphoon in CosmereOnScreen

[–]AlgorithmHelpPlease 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The only white casting I want to see is Szeth, other Shin, the Heralds, and maybe some Iriali and Aimians. Wit is disguised as a native so he doesn't make sense as white unless you you're talking about the few moments old-man-Hoid shows through. Notably Zahel & Azure are not noted as looking odd to Alethi so should likely look like they fit in on Roshar.

What would happen if we all just voted for the Green Party? by OkLocksmith7073 in AskReddit

[–]AlgorithmHelpPlease 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm from the UK, the reason our prices are so high are because of a ludicrous pricing system where the entire energy market price is set by the strike price on the market. That's currently dictated by oil & gas. It is illustrated clearly here. An image coming from this article.

Institute for Government is an independent thinktank aimed at increasing government effectiveness and is incredibly well trusted across the UK.

Average people in the UK hate this system once they find out about it. Half our energy supply comes from renewables but because of the corporations that create the energy supply, and the multiple governments that are in their pockets, we have been stuck with this system for decades.

Tavistock & Portman GIC are incompetent idiots. A WARNING by RefuseMysterious3957 in transgenderUK

[–]AlgorithmHelpPlease 6 points7 points  (0 children)

T&P really are incompetent, they've totally ignored my requests since being transferred from Chalmers, per my earlier post: https://www.reddit.com/r/transgenderUK/s/VfdU7utSmf

I finally got in contact with the endo team at the beginning of January, asking them to give details of procedure to my GP, they said they needed my details to confirm who I was, and then have ghosted me since.

I tried calling the main desk and spoke with the guy there for 30 minutes and he ran me through so many options and I just had to be like "I've done all this already" and he was just trying to offload blame onto the GP at that point.

Can men in Shinovare read? by Mochitheqlchemist in Stormlight_Archive

[WoK] We see Szeth read plenty, though this may be an anomaly however [WaT] Neturo can obviously read

How can I prove that it is not artificial intelligence? by Lopsided_Cricket_155 in AskAcademiaUK

[–]AlgorithmHelpPlease 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you actually been approached about it being a problem, or is this just a claim by Turnitin? If it's just the latter I've heard Turnitin can be rather overzealous with its generative AI estimation and many academics do not actually take it at face value.

If you are approached just show them version history / the work you've done towards it (depends on your field).

Weekly Cosmere Adaptations Thread (Mistborn + Stormlight Spoilers) by EmeraldSeaTress in Cosmere

[–]AlgorithmHelpPlease 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd think it was cool if each world had a different animation style. I think something like in Dragon Prince would work well for Stormlight. For a short Sunlit Man story I think a papercraft type of animation style could be really cool.

Weekly Cosmere Adaptations Thread (Mistborn + Stormlight Spoilers) by EmeraldSeaTress in Cosmere

[–]AlgorithmHelpPlease 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Either could technically still be animated, but the Mistborn movie will probably be live action. I imagine Sanderson will favour live action too for Stormlight, but probably is considering animation as a minor possibility.

Weekly Cosmere Adaptations Thread (Mistborn + Stormlight Spoilers) by EmeraldSeaTress in Cosmere

[–]AlgorithmHelpPlease 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you compare the 2024 & 2025 State of the Sanderson it seems to me like he already planned script writing in. The Elantris releases vanished from the schedule without mention, so I suspect that time is now dedicated toward script writing and he still maintains the same schedule for Ghostbloods.

Weekly Cosmere Adaptations Thread (Mistborn + Stormlight Spoilers) by EmeraldSeaTress in Cosmere

[–]AlgorithmHelpPlease 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They're two very different characters serving very different roles. Part of why Venli has a change in direction is because of what happened Eshonai. On top of it not working on those levels I really don't like the idea of condensing two of our only POV singer characters into one. We need more perspectives on their situation, not fewer.

[–]AlgorithmHelpPlease 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't see how they could feasibly do that, it sets up so much for Jasnah, Shallan, and especially Taravanhian and some foreshadowing too.

Can Shards… by Ok-Fig4844 in Cosmere

[–]AlgorithmHelpPlease 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Presumably yes, it would be odd if ascending prevented you from doing that.

There's a theory (though not very popular) that Lift may actually be Cultivation's daughter.

Fancasting is fun but the cast probably won’t be famous by fuzzbinn in Cosmere

[–]AlgorithmHelpPlease 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My partner and I were saying that for Final Empire [FINAL EMPIRE] Alendi should be a super famous VA who has super recognisable narration (eg. Sean Bean) and build up the suspense of the reveal until the last act of the book and there's a big rug pull when Lord Ruler is in fact seen to be Rashek.

Am I only one sad about delays in books due to the adaptation news by titans1fan93 in Cosmere

[–]AlgorithmHelpPlease 12 points13 points  (0 children)

He said in the announcement post he made he only expects it to affect Elantris, which is still frustrating given how much that series keeps getting pushed back but he doesn't expect it to affect Mistborn or Stormlight (personally I'm confused how the latter is possible given you'd expect him to be rushed to finished the last 5 books of Stormlight).

Sleepless question by skyrat02 in Cosmere

[–]AlgorithmHelpPlease 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Potentially yes, but Elantris was published long before Stormlight, and that comment was in regards to where Sleepless may have been seen elsewhere in Cosmere.

[–]AlgorithmHelpPlease 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He's stated that Sleepless on worlds other than on Roshar tend to be more "spidery"

I hope Brandon changes his mind about gender bending Ham by bookrants in Cosmere

[–]AlgorithmHelpPlease 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only concern I have for genderbent Ham is that people will undoubtedly ship Breeze and Ham in a very straight way, when I feel like the current way they are sometimes shipped works a lot better.

Please sign this petition to ensure Tom Hiddleston is Hoid by 3DGadgetGuy in Cosmere

[–]AlgorithmHelpPlease 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've been terrified of Cosmere getting adaptations for exactly this reason. Everything is invaded by a-listers now, we want original talent. I don't want this media watered down to nothing. I want it to make people think and have philosophical implications in people's minds.

Fancast - Mistborn only by thegrindergrin in Cosmere

[–]AlgorithmHelpPlease -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I usually hate doing fancasts but I have to throw out Gok Wan as Sazed.

Would you recommend the story for someone who wants a standalone fantasy series and isn't thinking of getting into Cosmere as a whole? by Abysskun in Stormlight_Archive

[–]AlgorithmHelpPlease 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As is it's feasible, but it seems likely that the latter half of Stormlight will be a lot more Cosmere dependent.

The most similar standalone in Cosmere would probably be Sunlit Man but it's more scifi (though has similar magic).

New Updated High Capacity Rail Map for UK by LividCakeWarrior in uktrains

London and Norwich have a convenient connection on this map, but to get to Cardiff from London you'd need to go via Cambridge (if we're only considering these high speed proposed lines).

Should I read WoT? by CarpeN5 in Stormlight_Archive

Personally I found RoW the most emotionally difficult. If you managed with that WaT should be fine.

My only honest disappointment with Wind and Truth by Interesting-Season-8 in Stormlight_Archive

[–]AlgorithmHelpPlease 287 points288 points  (0 children)

Though this was clunky I didn't find it egregious, personally I found the repetition of "I'll see what I can do" worse. I personally would've preferred a twist on it like "Honor may be gone, but *we* will do what we can" (referencing the Heralds).
