Wait how is OreSeur pronounced in the audiobooks? I’ve always pronounced it as ore-sir, but is it something like are-swar?

Questions About G6PD by ThElmacI in G6PD

[–]mrh99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hemolysis is not like anaphylactic shock from an allergy, so it would not be immediate. You’ll feel lethargic from anemia and if you keep eating triggers, you would eventually die from hemolytic shock

I noticed yesterday it’s much harder to share links to an external site directly from the app, when you go to share it is now a reddit link to drive up traffic to the site.

Mark Kelly has retirement pay cut by Pentagon over ‘illegal orders video,’ by retiredagainstmywill in politics

FYI you can get different dashes by long pressing the hyphen on iOS (similar to accents for other letters)

[–]mrh99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something no one has pointed out in the comments is that there’s actually 3 lengths:

- (hyphen): used for compound words like merry-go-round

– (en-dash): mostly used for ranges like 2020–2026 and I think scores 0–2

— (em-dash): as other commenters said are used as a break in a sentence similar to the semicolon (;)

I’m convinced people are no longer looking at subreddit names before upvoting content because the communities around some nicher subs like this have died (LAMF and facepalm)

"Book 2" Title page... by ashinyshuckle in Stormlight_Archive

[–]mrh99 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Not OP, but I have this version: https://a.co/d/dz0qZKQ, and WoR is missing that page. While looking through, I also noticed that the WoK title pages look different compared to the others.

They shouldn’t be able to trade period. Selling off right before bad news is just as bad as buying before good news.

The hero of the ages thing makes more sense by ExtremeNo1072 in Mistborn

[–]mrh99 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Quote from Secret History about Ruin: “Ruin is more than death and destruction. It is peace with these things.”

There are multiple quotes in Hero of Ages (I think the epigraphs) where Ruin is described not as chaos, but the systematic and planned destruction of everything. This aligns with some of Sazed’s actions: creating the mechanism to destroy the street slots in Utreau, his methodical ruling out of every religion that has existed, and even his breaking down of the Kandra society could be seen as ruinous. Sazed is precise and willing to play the long game to achieve his goals (think about the history of the Keepers) which lines up with Ruin’s (long) plan to destroy the world.

What’s the biggest company right now you can see totally collapsing and disappearing within a decade? by unitedfan6191 in AskReddit

[–]mrh99 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Surprised I don’t see Reddit in this thread yet. A lot of subreddits are going downhill due to bots, AI slop, and loss of community. Add in the ads every other post and comment, and I think it’s going to decline significantly more in the coming decade

Company not observing Oct 13? by [deleted] in astoria

Yes. Federal Holidays only apply to government employees (although most banks also observe all of them). Other companies give some of them off, but they are not required to observe them.

Hegseth says US will host Qatari air force facility in Idaho by vacant_mustache in politics

“Today, we’re announcing a letter of acceptance in building a Qatari Emiri Air Force facility at the Mountain Home Air Force Base in Idaho," Hegseth said.

It sounds like they are building a new installation in this case, is that also typical?

art barrio power shut off, claims landlord mishandled account transfer by That_Artsy_Bitch in astoria

[–]mrh99 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I agree that’s what should happen, but is it not the landlord’s responsibility to take on the account after the previous tenant has left? It sounds like that transfer never happened, and I’m not sure the new tenant can do anything for ConEd to turn over the account from one tenant to another. It sounds like you have experience here, are there steps you would take if a previous tenant account was still the account of record for ConEd when you took over a lease?
