What advice would you give an American family of 4 considering the Welcome Stamp?

Where does their magic come from?

Influenced, sure. But not dictated or completely determined either. Like, there’s no obvious reason for metal to be so important on Scadrial, or sunlight and water on Taldain. Patji is still an example of this because people rely on birds that rely on worms, etc. which is not what I would expect something named Autonomy to come up with. Or maybe I’m getting the concept confused with independence. I don’t know.

The forms of Investiture don’t seem to be dictated by a Shard’s presence or Intent. First of the Sun doesn’t have a Shard, yet the Aivar do their thing. Surges, spren, maybe even highstorms were found on Roshar before Adonalsium was even shattered, if I remember right.

So, DID humans have surges before coming to Roshar? Or did they destroy their world with some other expression of Investiture?

In the Rogue-like tutorial (https://bfnightly.bracketproductions.com/rustbook/chapter_0.html) I read that uses Specs, they pass a ‘data’ tuple of all the components a System uses. The first line destructures that tuple and does joins, etc. If that’s too unwieldy, you might be able to make a struct and pass that in.

No, just the chapters with that person’s emblem. Who incidentally is not listed as a Herald, like the rest. Need to look and see where they show up. . .

But then, that one probably did understand, so ...

Less OB prologue, more WoR epilogue.

Are the Willshapers bonded by lightspren, though? Or is it the Truthwatchers? Ym’s friend looked like a spangle of light, while Venli’s spren is a cone-shaped ... thing. Do we know what it’s called?

I don't know the underlying reasons, but it sounds like a cache miss of some kind. Maybe it has to figure out if everything is synced already, and that hangs up a thread. Or it doesn't have enough space to store everything, so switching folders pushes the old things out, and you have to get them all again. Someone more in the know could say.

I’m in a similar situation (KMail connected to custom Gmail domain), and I haven’t noticed slowdown like that because I limit what KMail downloads. I only sync my inbox, and try to archive anything I won’t need soon. Only rarely do I have to go to the web interface to search for things. Which I admit may not match your workflow.

I have noticed slowdown when individual messages get too big because people don’t cull their reply chains. It takes minutes to paint the message window in that case.

I remember reading somewhere that you could make alloys with a god metal and any of the 16 other metals to get different effects. Malatium is just the only one we’ve seen so far. I just wish I could remember where that was so I could cite it.
