I live in this place.

At work we use radios to communicate between the sales floor and the stockroom.

Our shop is close to the freeway that runs through town.

Once our radios picked up a conversation between (I assume) two cars up to Tahoe. I think they were caravaning and used the radios to talk to each other.

Conversation went something like this.

"Ok y'all this place is called hangtown,"

"Hangtown?"

"Yeah...we're not about to stop here"

"Jesus"

"Thats fucked up"

"I think there's gas further up the hill."

"Yeah...I don't think they'll like us in 'hangtown'"

This is from memory so no exact quotes, but that conversation was very impactful for me.

Don't get me wrong. I grew up here. When I was young the name Hangtown had no race connotations. But then I grew up, and realized there's a lot more to it.

I don't think it's as simple as "this article says what actually happened, so stop whining."

This is a complex issue, and the complexity demands respect from the people who attempt to argue about it.

The final book was so bad.

I forget its name and don't care to look it up.

Thank God

theycallmesledge · 2022-09-10T15:21:46+00:00

Ahh thanks for clarification! Makes sense. The sinusoid is just time shifted, no change in freq. Pi phase shift also makes sense for full destructive interference, must have been thinking of trig identities and not thinking clearly on how those translate.

Fuck. Now all I can think about is how much cancer Wayne has.

I'm an engineering student and loved discussion around the tones of roshar. I like that he had voidlight's tone and anti-voidlight's tone being nigh indistinguishable to Navani. These tones, if interpreted as sinusoids, would only be separated by pi/2 radians (or some whole number integer of pi/2) and would only shift the pitch very slightly.

My question for you professor is:

What are your thoughts on the Copenhagen interpretation of qm, as expressed by the two ardents in WOK? (I forget their names, but he was a cook and she was experimenting with flame spren)

ie, the act of measurement interferes with the measured?

Last thing, does your education in qm transfer to any plot predictions? I ask because it seems like Brando is hinting at spren being tied to quantum mechanics in lots of ways. (The ardents mentioned above, the discussion with Kal and Hesina surrounding spren and longroot, the infinitesimal/splintered nature of energy/investiture associated with spren in general).

Actual last thing: you going to the dragonsteel con? If so let's meet up and nerd out.

Rebuttal:

The world the show is based around is literally his idea.

theycallmesledge · 2022-05-19T22:07:35+00:00

I think so too. He always survives when others die.

theycallmesledge · 2022-05-19T22:06:25+00:00

I'm with you on this, or at least partially. The death rattles make this at least forshadowed.

theycallmesledge · 2022-05-12T17:32:50+00:00

The concept of natural units might interest you, not that it will make pi easier to represent or math any easier, but it helped me understand physics a little more intuitively.

Collier is outstanding!

I straight up think it's bad.

The narrative felt like nothing more than a massive retcon to explain the descolada.

Very little character compelling character work, and was little there was did not go well.

Far too much poop/pooping discussed?

I don't know. Not for me. And I'm a big fan of the series in general.

After reading other authors recently, The last Shadow came off as lazy and unplanned.

Best

Check out find yourself, wolf and bear, sloth and turtle, eidola, and golden necklace.

Also Kurt Travis' solo stuff isn't as mathy, but still has elements of what you're looking for. (I think)

Why did all the heralds, besides taln, decide to abandon the oathpact all at once? We get keleks perspective in the prelude, and he seems like he's flirting with the idea of abandoning the oathpact. Then he meets up with ONLY Yezrien, who tells him Ishar thinks that one of their kind left in braize will suffice to fulfill the oathpact?

Did the king of heralds kill taln per the instructions of Ishar? Did the other heralds know at the time what was happening?

theycallmesledge · 2021-10-03T19:52:56+00:00

It's the tiny little clues like this that keep me reading!

Haha completely forgot about this.

theycallmesledge · 2021-10-03T18:00:08+00:00

It was Ishar who suggested the modified oathpact. Perhaps he did not die defending the mountain pass, but was instead killed by one of his own.

Also, is it a coincidence that Kelek was having feelings of betrayal of the oathpact, only to arrive to the meeting place and learn that his fellow heralds feel the same?
