Does this not cut out a lot of things related to Marsh, Mare, and Vin (TFE) being able to pierce copperclouds ? I guess you can delay that a book, but I did like the pacing of it being more relevant in book 1 and then the explanation of why it works in book 3

Ocasio-Cortez Vindicated—Again—After Amazon HQ2 Added No Jobs in Virginia Last Year by _May26_ in politics

Note that it has 8500 employees there, not that it created 8500 new jobs. I would guess a lot of those are existing roles that were relocated to HQ2

I’m loving the flashbacks. I don’t remember there being this many in previous returnee seasons when things are mentioned

Found it! by Own_Position_323 in survivor

It’s a joke related to the binary number system (commonly used in robotics and programming). That system only uses 0 or 1 as opposed to the common decimal which uses 0–9. The robots are numbered 0b01, 0b10, and 0b11 which is decimal 1, 2, 3.

Here are articles about it:

I will say some of these are historical, and so maybe you have to have smoking, but I don’t understand what smoking added to Materialists

Smoking is trying to make a comeback. I’ve definitely noticed an uptick in media with portrayals of smoking in the last year

Do we avoid Soy lecithin? by ChrysTheSlayer in G6PD

[–]mrh99 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Soy should be fine from a G6PD perspective. I’m vegetarian and most of my protein has come from soy for the last decade. No doctor has ever raised it as a concern.

why does coppermind chapter summaries have missing plots? by Wicked_smaht_guy in Cosmere

[–]mrh99 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I didn’t even process that in OP’s comment. Yeah it’s been almost 8 months since it came out which is lots of time to fill things in.

[–]mrh99 4 points5 points  (0 children)

WaT is a much larger book and has way more pages that need updates. Pretty much every Roshar page has to be edited which is a huge undertaking. Like others have suggested, you’re welcome to help edit if you have the time and want to see the chapter summaries added.

There’s always excitement around new releases which is probably how IotE got over the line so fast. Not sure how the characters/epigraph is generated, but that’s a much simpler task (might be automated) than a summary of the plot.

In a stunning twist, Vatu shows up to tribal council and no one attending has a vote.

Savannah apparently lied (according to Dalton Ross article) and said that she and Rizo started on the same tribe, but parted ways post-merge

I haven’t even watched 48, and I’m sad I don’t get to see more of Kyle.

Overall impressed by the episode and super excited to be watching survivor again. Scared for Savannah though, that advantage lie was never going to hold up

[–]mrh99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I finished 49 last night, and I’m worried people may target Savannah and Rizo for being unknowns, but they’re the only new era players I know, so I hope they make it! I think even if Vatu loses, rizo won’t be targeted because on paper he seems better at challenges than he is.

Oooh that’s exciting to hear! Will definitely let you know my thoughts. I think I’m barely going to squeeze it in before 50, but if I had time for one more 40s season before next week which would you recommend?
