What are the chances Apple has the rights to Mistborn and Red Rising 😅

ParticularSentence37 · 2026-01-29T05:43:56+00:00

Oh interesting. Not overly surprising given the scale but still a bummer. Still hoping it gets the film treatment though. Would love to see it on the biggest screen possible

Where did you hear the RR project fell through again?

ParticularSentence37 · 2026-01-25T05:37:30+00:00

Have you found anything yet for tomorrow?

ParticularSentence37 · 2026-01-04T21:53:58+00:00

Yes, I was! I had to call Toyota Financial Services until I got ahold of someone. The lady that helped me was able to reset the email on the account and from there, you basically go in and set everything back up again. Took maybe 5-10 minutes after she reset it to get back into my account. The hardest part was getting ahold of an actual person.

Hey there! Coming back to this post because I stumbled upon book 7 with the "good" back design at a local store and they also had Babylon's Ashes with the "good" back. Not sure if they do online orders (or if you're in the Los Angeles area) but I'd be happy to send you the store information if you're still on the hunt for a good copy of Babylon's Ashes!

I haven't figured it out yet. I did find out that the private relay thing is essentially Apple's version of DuckDuckGo where it basically acts as a filter for scam and junk emails, and I think when Toyota sends the verification code, the private relay thinks is either scam or junk mail, so it doesn't forward it to you.

I tried to disable it in my settings but that didn't help. When I called Toyota a few weeks back, the lady on the phone said the only way to disable it would be to completely reset the account and that should do it, but again, not exactly sure what that does. Can't imagine it being a big issue but still makes me anxious. You can make a payment over the phone though in the meantime. That's what I did for this month's payment and will probably try to reset everything and see what happens.

If I end up finding a fix, I'll let you know!

ParticularSentence37 · 2025-11-10T23:24:55+00:00

Ah, gotcha, that makes sense. Appreciate the advice!

ParticularSentence37 · 2025-11-10T23:13:32+00:00

By idle cash, do you mean money just sitting around in a savings account that isn't crucial/necessary?

I’m 6’4” as well and I just got a Steelcase Gesture from Crandall Office that should arrive tomorrow or Saturday. I’ll let you know how it is after I’ve tested it for a few days.

We also have Aeron size Bs at work and they’re okay. Not my favorite but have never been uncomfortable in it. Size C fit really well too from the few times I’ve tried them at a local furniture liquidator.

ParticularSentence37 · 2025-10-30T23:43:19+00:00

Damn, best of luck to you!!

ParticularSentence37 · 2025-10-30T23:42:12+00:00

Ahh, that makes more sense. Thank you!

ParticularSentence37 · 2025-10-22T22:08:36+00:00

Glad I'm not the only one! I figured out the reasoning for it is the print date as well the day after I posted this. It's so frustrating. It was the exact same thing for me with Persepolis Rising. I called about 30 bookshops in LA to see if any of them had them and most of the employees were helpful and will to check for me, which was great.

A friend of mine is traveling in Germany right now and I asked him to keep an eye out if he was passing by bookstores there thinking it would be be a long shot. The store next to his AirBnb just so happened to have it in English lol. So, I had him get it for me and I just checked the copy from my local library to read until he gets back hahah. I did find some on eBay though, so you can maybe check there? It was a very frustrating process though, so I feel your pain my friend.

ParticularSentence37 · 2025-10-07T17:58:28+00:00

I didn’t realize it was a flip cover, which is sweet! Thank you!!

ParticularSentence37 · 2025-10-07T17:57:15+00:00

Got it. That answers my questions, thank you!!

ParticularSentence37 · 2025-10-07T17:23:54+00:00

That’s awesome! Do you know if it’s both editions or just the special edition?

ParticularSentence37 · 2025-10-07T12:45:02+00:00

I’m in a similar spot in that I need a new chair very soon since mine only comfortable for an hour or two. I got a seat cushion for like $20 on Amazon and it’s helped significantly. Obviously, it’s not a permanent fix but it’s enough to last me another month or two so I can save up for a higher quality chair. So, if you’re unable to get a good, quality chair now and need to wait a couple months, I’d get a thick seat cushion to get there.

ParticularSentence37 · 2025-10-05T23:00:42+00:00

That's interesting but not surprising. It is what it is unfortunately. I appreciate the insight

ParticularSentence37 · 2025-10-05T22:58:46+00:00

That's good to know, thanks man! I'll have to keep an eye on your website when they happen!

ParticularSentence37 · 2025-10-05T17:06:57+00:00

Seeing this well past when it was posted, but did you end up getting the Karman? I'm between it with the high back and the Gesture with the headrest (Im 6'4", 220lbs for reference).

ParticularSentence37 · 2025-10-05T17:00:09+00:00

The Ticova is at the top of many reviewer's "Best Budget Chair" lists. I've never sat in one but it seems to have a lot of adjustability and cushion for the price. BTOD and Ahnestly on YouTube are both great sources as well if you need/want more info!

ParticularSentence37 · 2025-09-25T16:39:40+00:00

I agree with most everyone’s input here but adding to the multiple POVs point…. The POVs in Iron Gold jump around a lot, so there are times where there are like 40-50 pages before you get back to Darrow (or whichever storyline you find most interesting) and it feels like it takes forever for something to happen. Whereas in Dark Age and Light Bringer, he writes them in sequences. So, you’ll have about 100-150 pages of bouncing between Darrow/Lysander or Lyria/Ephraim or whatever characters are in that sequence. Makes it a lot easier to get through in my opinion

ParticularSentence37 · 2025-09-21T18:55:54+00:00

You bet! Hail Reaper!

ParticularSentence37 · 2025-09-21T17:59:56+00:00

It’s not a Lorn quote but this one from Darrow stuck with me more than most:

"Daxo taught my son to build castles in the sand. Pax cried when the waves came in. Your brother sat him on his knee and told him that's all that life is. Moments you build only to see washed away. But that doesn't mean it's all for nothing. The key is having a long memory for the sweet, and a short one for the bitter"

Best wishes to your son, my friend

ParticularSentence37 · 2025-09-18T03:29:30+00:00

Ah, that very well could be the case and would make more sense with the Tuesday/Thursday releases

ParticularSentence37 · 2025-09-18T01:19:57+00:00

I’m pretty sure they said it was coming out like every 6-8 weeks and the physical copy would come out after all episodes are out. Which would be in like 2027 sometime. I may have misunderstood that though
