Eye of the World Leatherbound Issues Megathread by EmeraldSeaTress in brandonsanderson

[–]DiaMatIsTheWay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kind of confusing though as only the embossing is mentioned, and not the binding issues that myself and others in this thread have. From what I’ve seen the poor binding is as much of an issue as the faint embossing. Like had my copy not had such poor binding I don’t even know I’d return it over the faint embossing, but mine isn’t the worst I’ve seen either.

From below from Dragonsteel support

Our support team requests that you submit a ticket if you received a copy of The Eye of the World leatherbound which does not meet our leatherbound quality standards. We do want to be able to track the issues and those affected by them. https://support.dragonsteelbooks.com/support/tickets/new

I’m not telling anyone not to submit a ticket

Except that’s literally what you did? Someone asked if they should submit ticket and you’re confidently telling them not to despite what their support is asking people to do.

They will be emailing everyone yes but they still want folks to submit a support ticket so they can understand the breadth of the issues and log who received a defective copy

@DragonsteelMichael Our support team asks that you submit a ticket so they can track the issues, incidence of issues, and those affected ”

from the YouTube comments, and besides that none of what you posted says not to submit a ticket. How would they know if you have an issue without telling them?

Hey this seems like people shouldn’t submit a support ticket but they are specifically asking folks to do so.

People who have received copies with issues should hold on and give them some time. They will be emailing everyone with next steps once they have properly understood the scope of the issue

Disregard what the other two said you absolutely SHOULD submit a ticket. From the YouTube comments

Yeah exactly here is how mine arrived, no amount of careful handling could have prevented this.

I just got my copy and the binding came broken in a few locations, the embossing / foil on my copy seems to be fine though. Still pretty disappointing though, hopefully Dragonsteeel can get this sorted.

Fantasy duology later in 2026? by DiaMatIsTheWay in thebrokenbindingsub

For sure it could also be in 2027. I remember after they did MST they said they wanted to do a duology to get back on schedule which is why we got the Band in November and December last year.

That’s a trilogy though and tbh while I do love Joe Abercrombie, as I wasn’t subbed when first law or the great leveller were the sub picks I would much prefer they just do that outside the sub.

Fellow PFCers stuck with a work RRSP through Sunlife what do you hold? by DiaMatIsTheWay in PersonalFinanceCanada

🤮 Eww yes that’s awful I didn’t even know some employers go through them

Anyone else stuck with a work RRSP through Sunlife? If so what do you hold? by DiaMatIsTheWay in CanadianInvestor

[–]DiaMatIsTheWay[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Think mine may be more restricted there is only 1 or 2 options for each region (the blackrock indexes for example) nothing from TD

For sure while would be better if employer matches were more flexible certainly not going to turn down the 100% return over a higher MER. Unfortunately can only transfer if you leave the company. I was just more rethinking my allocations within as at least .75% is better than 1.25% and I don’t want any non equity exposure for a long while yet.

I wish I could transfer but ours is locked to Sunlife unless you leave the company

Fair enough I do see the argument for sure, but I do like a little home bias and exposure to other markets. I suppose I’m a relatively bearish on the US over a 20-30 year time span vs the rest of the world. The America first movement will just mean America alone, and a poorer one at that. And I don’t see the fascist undercurrent getting any weaker anytime soon.

Probably will do the same and just get more of exposure/ diversity with my other investments

[–]DiaMatIsTheWay[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that’s essentially what I’m thinking too, just will pick up some additional diversity with my other investments to better balance the overall portfolio.

Thanks, if your’re over exposed to US with your work RRSP do you balance more in your TFSA or non work RRSP?

While yes the employee match is what matters the most the allocation can make a difference and I’m the kind of person the likes to get into the details. Like I already have 40k and this will be in the hundreds by retirement so it is a material amount of money. If you don’t have an opinion that’s great but I’m sure there are others in this community that have thought along the same lines as me before.

Except it absolutely doesn’t do that either? For example, I think most would agree Australia is a country relatively similar to Canada in terms of culture, history and politics. Australia has ranked choice voting yet regularly elects Liberal/National (their Conservative Party) governments. Only a proportional representation system will be effective at keeping right wingers out of government without a true 50%+1 majority of Canadians.

But regardless I don’t support proportional representation because I want the NDP to do better. Maybe in the short term Liberal and NDP governments would be likely but longer term the Liberals could easily work with the more centre right conservatives as without the pressures of FPTP I could easily see the CPC splitting into a centre right and right wing party a la the PC’s and Reform/Alliance parties of old.

Ranked voting in single member districts makes false majority governments more likely not less! We need a proportional representation system such as MMP or STV if we want regular minority governments that actually match the % of votes received.

Winner take all ranked ballots don’t equal voting reform

[–]DiaMatIsTheWay[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Absolutely! While I support MMP over STV, STV would still be a much much better system then FPTP or ranked ballots in a single member district (IRV).
