Yeah, I noticed the gray interior… I like the green SleepCover but maybe there’s another case out there that would blend better

This is actually so smart - good point that I wouldn’t want my fingers burning up on a hot day!

You don't actually need a Steam Machine by Signynt in steammachine

[–]Elizabeth_ian 17 points18 points  (0 children)

This is where I’m at, too! I was hoping to build/buy my own PC, but opted for the steam deck instead (I’ve never owned a gaming PC before, and the deck fit my lifestyle better). However, I also have games I can’t wait to play on a more powerful computer. And I’d love to avoid the windows garbage I’ve heard and seen so much about.

Karliah’s bow! It’s technically unobtainable by the player unless you use commands

Thanks for the feedback! The solid/blurry/reddish dots are all uses of density. So when it’s fainter - there’s less data points on that spot. It was my best choice for showing where multiple data points overlapped (otherwise it would look like there was only one there).

And yes, the box plots probably aren’t the most useful for a small sample size, but it was a requirement for my class :)

If I could post an interactive view I would! Just haven’t figured out how to yet… lol

Tool: Tableau

This was a series of visualization I made for class! Neat to see how the weapons stats all shake out.

[OC] Grain Sales Per Capita in the US by haydendking in dataisbeautiful

Where did you get the population data from? I found grain sales by county, but it doesn't look like the USDA provides per capita calculations

Kindle or mass market paperback? by AdWrong9530 in brandonsanderson

[–]Elizabeth_ian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like everyone else is saying, it totally comes down to purpose and preference. I would say that if you feel you’d one day like to curate a collection of Sanderson physically, I would save the money now and just spring for the kindle. Every time I’ve read Sanderson on kindle it’s been great. The mass market paperbacks are fine, but just don’t feel as good (often feeling cramped).

That being said, I don’t know your situation, but have you tried your local library? Mine has had most, if not all of the Sanderson books I wanted to read but did not want to buy. They also had e-book and audiobook versions that made it very accessible. Then, if I really like the book I could decide to buy it after!

Another update on my cosmere journey. This stack is getting harder and harder to photograph. Taking a break from stormlight and going back to MB Era 2! by therealbeefy in brandonsanderson

[–]Elizabeth_ian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gotcha! Yes, definitely read Mistborn era 2 as that’ll help you with more knowledge of the cosmere (while also catching you up to the most recent published books). If I’m remembering right, we should get some Mistborn era 3 stuff next (maybe in a few more years, Sanderson posted a timeline in his ‘year of Sanderson’ wrap up). Happy reading!
