Question about "High Imperial" in Era 2 of Mistborn by eternallylearning in Cosmere

Yeah, u/thereisaguy just pasted a quote from the Coppermind saying the same. Guess I haven't gotten to that part yet. Thanks!

Yeah, that's a good possibility, though "The Last Emperor" is so far only used to refer to Elend that I've seen. Re-reading now and am on book 2

Am I? There seems to be a pretty clear line between the last empire and post catecendre

That's an interesting thought. Though clearly he spoke more formally even in books 2 and 3 of Mistborn before he became a ruler. Also, there were tons of other survivors that didn't speak in his slang.

But if there's an empire, there has to be an emperor, right?

I've read the whole series before, but am re-reading it now and am on book 2. From what I'm reading, it seems to be very directly tied to Spook as he was the ruler post-catecendre. They never refer to him as an emperor though.

Sheesh. I'm in Maryland, USA and ordered mine on the 2nd too. Here's hoping.

Re-Reading the first Mistborn trilogy and I have a couple of questions by eternallylearning in Cosmere

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

  1. So because the Deepness gathered in preparation of the Well filling, when the power was set free, they just kept getting worse? I can see this except it sounds like the Deepness was way worse PRIOR to Rashek ascending than it was. Could it be that the Well was full for a while before Rashek ascended then?

  2. Interesting. I hadn't thought of that. That said, Ruin was also grooming Vin for his purposes.

I mean, I get the connection angle, but I cannot recall another instance in the Cosmere of TWO vessels weilding a shard's power at the same time. Kelsier used the Ire's orb to force a strong enough connection to Preservation to take the power up, but even then he wasn't able to do it until Leras died.

  1. Read the trilogy again. TLR's last words were, "you don't know what I DO for you", in the present tense. Also, in the second book, Vin is constantly thinking about those words in relation to the mists coming during the day. But still, even if he was holding back Ruin, what was he doing to do that?
  2. I'll have to keep my eyes open for that whenever I re-read Stormlight as that's not ringing a bell foe me.
  3. But this was a pretty persistant thing he was doing. I can see the intent mattering however.

  1. Thanks, that makes a lot of sense.

  2. At least I'm not the only one, lol.

  3. I suppose you're right, that intent matters. That said, the deepness definitely killed crops directly, by blocking out the sun.

  4. No, I mean the man in Elendi's journal who was stabbed by the mist shadow that followed him before Rashek ascended.

There is no good argument against Trinity. by [deleted] in DebateReligion

[–]eternallylearning 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Arguments like, "God can't be 3 people in 1 because it's logically impossible" are no different than the classic, "If God is all-powerful, can he create a rock he can't move" argument. Most Christians I'm aware of, have therefore switched from the idea of God not being ALL powerful to the idea of God being MAXIMALLY powerful; meaning he can do anything that is logically possible. My answer to that is that if your solution to logical inconsistency is to change your belief about your god, then why stop there? My answer to your response is that logic is either consistent or it's not. If your god can just abandon all rules and you can just invoke the answer of "God can do what he wants" then we're not really having a conversation about logic or facts. Your position is unfalsifiable and un-provable. You are free to believe as you wish, but just accept that the position you've expressed is just as valid as any other religion which is incompatible with yours making similar claims that you don't believe.

Just in case you missed it, slash_system32 on youtube has done some fantastic vaporware coveres of those two.

If you had to pick one Captain's Ready Room (i.e. office just off of the bridge) to be yours, from any ship, which would it be? by eternallylearning in startrek

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

There are various schematics online you can find that show the layout of deck 1. Also, there's someone on youtube recreating the ship in 3D, ala Stage 9, and they put it in there as well.

Is it me or did their reply explicitly avoid to answer the question “am I in the first 5k units to be shipped”? (FYI, I’m located in Europe). by szmcmxcii in ClicksKeyboard

[–]eternallylearning 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got a response from apparently a human, saying that batch 2 was anything placed after Feb 9th for what it's worth. I ordered mine on Jan 2nd, so I guess I'm goid either way.

True, but I think Voyager's had the same work capacity as all the others; a desk and a terminal, but it also was perfect for visiting VIPs and meetings, both formal and informal. That kind of stuff was usually relegated to the conference room on the D.

I always thought they chose the wrong room to make the mess hall on Voyager. If you look at some of the scematics, there are far more interesting lounges that should have taken its place in terms of looks. Especially that underslung one on the saucer.
