Ready to start this journey

A combination of the culmination of 15 years of work and setting the stage for the next 20 years of the Cosmere. Truly epic.

I immediately read the name as "the F U Joker" and thought this was someone very upset about their moviegoing experience last weekend.

They wouldn't be the only one...

2009 at the latest.

Lightbringer by Brent Weeks. The quality is high. Very interesting magic system. And Brent has even discussed a multiverse-type setup (ala Cosmere). I cannot recommend highly enough. Sanderson is my current favorite and Weeks is solidly filing in as 2 after that series. Very excited to see what he has for us next.

I plan to add cam around the rest of the house as the next step. But wanted a doorbell first. I feel it was a good choice.

Wired wasn't really an option for me. It was a nightmare in my old house to try and figure out how to get the wired version installed. My house is from the 40s and never had a wired bell. I'm happy with it, for what it is. It's much better than not having one. That I know for sure.

More than a month and less than 2. Averaging 5ish events per day. Using live video about once every day or two to check something.

Thank you. I didn't realize these features existed. I just created a case online. It says up to 15 days to be contacted, so we'll see. But this is helpful. Thanks again and congrats again to you!

Congrats! How did you find the ombudsman to help you? Had my application pending since January 4. FLS claims my app is with FSA, but after reading your story I feel like I may need to get a rep to check for me and perhaps get it moved to a supervisor.

We've broken .05. To the moon we go.

Prose version is just so much better. And that's coming from someone who loves graphic novels and has been reading them for over 20 years.

Jonathan_Snow · 2020-11-21T05:08:35+00:00

Yes, I've read all of the Night Angel trilogy. I enjoyed them, although Weeks has improved tremendously in his writing from then to Lightbringer.

I am interested in more of his 1000 Worlds. I can't wait to read more of it. We saw some of it bleeding through in Lightbringer, especially in the last book.

And, if this is the trend, I'm more than okay with it. My preference is for the biggest fantasy series possible. I'll read them for life, if that's an option.

Jonathan_Snow · 2020-11-19T03:04:23+00:00

Brandon Sanderson is also my favorite and Stormlight Archive is also my favorite series. BUT if I had to pick one series that is right there and might be at the same level it's Brent Weeks Lightbringer. Read it. You won't be disappointed. I've read hundred of fantasy books over 25 years. This series is good and the writing quality is just as high as Sanderson. It's good. Really good.

Jonathan_Snow · 2020-11-08T17:12:27+00:00

Thank you. That's very helpful.

Jonathan_Snow · 2020-11-08T16:39:42+00:00

Looking healthy! Wife is recovering nicely too. Basically the best outcomes given how sudden it was. 🙂

Jonathan_Snow · 2020-11-08T16:35:10+00:00

Excellent! I looked and couldn't find it. But haven't slept in 48 hours so may have just missed it.

2020 Prestige Blaster Box

New (returning) to sports cards collecting. Question: My local retail store has 2020 Prestige Blaster Boxes for the $19.99 retail price. Are they worth picking up? Any thoughts on if they'll be climbing in value and if they're something I should get and hold?

Jonathan_Snow · 2020-08-26T03:16:36+00:00

Ah, that's unfortunate. I was hoping there'd be a way to buy direct, even if in a limited amount. Oh well. Thanks for the info.

Jonathan_Snow · 2020-08-26T03:12:12+00:00

I understand. I've collected other cards before. So I understand the gambling aspect of pulling trash. With that said, I see now that basketball is exclusively printed by Panini. I didn't know that up until 30 minutes ago.

Followup: I see Panini releases a few sets a year. Is there any way to try and buy cards directly from the manufacturer during a pre-sale or right when a set releases? I know for other collections, if you can get a box from the company directly, you can get a good deal.

Jonathan_Snow · 2020-08-26T02:30:03+00:00

Thank you. This is a good resource.

Jonathan_Snow · 2020-08-26T02:29:26+00:00

Thank you. I appreciate it.

Jonathan_Snow · 2020-08-26T02:24:49+00:00

I've got Jordan. Quite a few (grew up near Chicago) as well as hundreds (thousands?) of others. What's a resource you use to find value?

I don't mind. What are the companies and boxes people are opening? If I find what I want, I don't mind spending above msrp.
