Robert Jordan took a long time finishing his Wheel of Time series- he actually died and Brandon Sanderson had to write the last three books

GRRM is still writing his series.

My point is that they would say that time proposed is not enough because they take a long time to write.

Additional context:

Robert Jordan’s first book for the Wheel of Time series, The Eye of the World, was published in 1990. His last book, A Memory of Light, was published in 2013. He died in 2007 and a lot of fans, me included, thought the series was also dead but Jordan’s wife brought on Sanderson to finish it. And he did such a great job writing in Jordan’s style that some think he did Jordan better than Jordan did.

GRRM wrote A Game of Thrones which was published in 1996 which is the first book of A Song of Ice and Fire. His latest book in the series, A Dance with Dragons, was published in 2011 and only book five of seven proposed books for the series. Three series was originally going to be a trilogy so we’ll see if it ends at seven. The Wheel of Time series was also supposed to be a trilogy when Jordan started it.

Robert Jordan and George RR Martin disagree.

The Internet Archive reached too far with the lending aspect. While the goal of sharing is laudable, no one was really surprised by this decision. 🏴‍☠️🦜

I was reading your wall of text chomping at the bit to complain about IRQs and dip switches but you covered even that!

Oh wait, you didn’t include having a math coprocessor daughter boards! I barely remember them but remember my dad building computers with them.

I kinda wish I was a teen when the first computer kits were coming out. And phone phreaking.

Changing to gender neutral seems like a no brainer to me but how is this transphobia?

If MS or Google does it, it’ll be dropped in 3 to 5 years, 10 at the max.

Don’t get me going on the way the soft keyboard doesn’t always work or that you can’t use the thumb sticks when you have it up. I’m here to enjoy the Steam Deck gangbang but sometimes you get a random dick in a place you weren’t expecting it.

“Daylight savings biting curb at 4k” as the kids would say.

peak colonial baggage

I get the thought, but wouldn’t changing it just end up performative?

I think changing the date system from AD/BC to CE/BCE is peak performative, and that’s coming from me as an atheist. We still use the same years based on the mistaken belief of when the Christ was born.

Where would we change UTC to be? Best place I could think of is where the current International date line is in the middle of the Pacific but that area is already a clusterfuck of zig zagging not that current UTC 0 is much better. And then, what do we call it? Do we keep UTC because it was a compromise between English and French speakers? Should we go with Mandarin Chinese since that is the most widely spoken language natively in the world? But there is plenty of colonialism within Chinese history of the Han people versus all other Chinese ethnicities and languages. Or English because it is the most widely spoken language when adding first and additionally spoken languages (definitely colonialism there)?

I’d sincerely love to know your thoughts on this. I’ve pondered it before and couldn’t come up with a good change besides using an artificially made language like Esperanto but that comes with a whole host of other issues.

R’lyehian text definitely found under the windows of the shop. They must have manually done things like the bicycle shop sign.

Shh, let them have this. They need their team to be the saviors. Look how they trot out Jack Black like a clown. And now trickle out some good news a bit before the elections.

They’re just gonna plug their ears and yell.

No, it was a step in the right direction. There may have been units and commanders that tried to seek out gays but there were also plenty of commanders that really didn’t want to know so never asked.

Great job, Democrats. He’s was VP for 8 years while Obama was president. Didn’t do it then. And now you do this at the end of Biden’s 4 years and he’s dropping in polls to Felon Donny. Sure, we’ll forget all about the workers’ rights being trampled and the genocide in Gaza.

We have such great choices. A Douche and Turd.

Funny how you say something similar and we have such different karma for it.

Different than others, how?
