  1. Nope, it is a city in Mainland China.
  2. So the security camera caught it and it was a black Dodge truck that is not usually in the parking lot. Of course you can't make out the license plate or the face of the driver so I'm probably just screwed. Great start to the week.
  3. Some asshat hit my car in our parking lot today at work and drove off without leaving a note or anything. With any luck the security camera caught the hit and run...
  4. Being an adult is stupid... But at least I get to be the MVP... silver linings or something...
  5. I was actually using a site other than Wikipedia or Infoplease that drew from the 2014 UN census database. Too far north.
  6. For Posterity (Man this was disappointing when I opened the book... oh well):
  7. I suspect the Herd could get behind this idea...
  8. You actually bring this into an interesting light, Justice and Judgement are not necessarily the same thing. I would argue that Nalan is currently doing quite a bit more (brutal) judgement than actually serving justice. This may be nitpicking but Brandon may have been very subtly telling me that the In book view of Nalan's purpose is slightly skewed. Then again it may have simply been him dodging giving out new information as if I hadn't already read Words of Radiance it would be a new answer.
  9. Yeah, I'll post it when I get home from work. I figured why start a new thread though as it isn't new information.
  10. I recently bought a signed/personalized copy of Words of Radiance as it was one that I didn't have in my collection. I asked for the title of a herald that we didn't yet know. Answer:
  11. Tokyo ✓ Seoul ✓ Shanghai ✓ Delhi ✓ Mexico City X (Very close though, Mexico City is 6). A hint, the last one is another city in China.
  12. Sounds about right...
  13. The inability to work was on their side. And yeah, that is why they were so desperate for a solution as they will more or less be shut down for a month. Naturally the error occurred because they updated a technical drawing for a part we make for them but never thought mentioning it or sending it to us would be needed... My only response was something along these line:
  14. It is indeed and they are still reeling for Rosh Hashanah, overall it made for an interesting skype call. A combination of we can't be working but we have to be working and panic. All in all it went pretty smoothly, people were just overreacting to problems that weren't nearly as bad as they seemed.
  15. When I got to work this morning one of our Engineers was standing outside of my office with a paniced look on his face. Apparently one of our customers in Israel is having some problem and are desperate for a solution... Me: Edit: The use of Its as opposed to it's is actually bothering me... X_X
  16. Just another possibly that is worth at least consideration. The fifth heightening grants functional immortality.
  17. Excellent question, lets go with metropolitan area since I know the answer to that one. Edit: Huh, 200 posts.
  18. I remember that nonsense trying to find a job after I got out of college. It went well with the "you don't have enough experience..." Oh really? Maybe I don't have enough experience because no one will hire me because I don't have enough experience... quite the cycle. Don't worry it will all come together, you'll find a great job and things will fall into place. Just don't get discouraged. On an unrelated note, here is a guinea pig pretending to be a Potato.
  19. Poor T-Rex...
  20. 10/13, not bad. The missing three were Rahvin, Balthamel, and Graendal. Anyways... Next question... Name the 5 cities with the largest populations (worldwide).
  21. Hemalurgy... evil? Nonsense, misunderstood at worst... Also you know metalminds can be used as Hemalurgic spikes right?
  22. I've got you Corax:
  23. I highly doubt it. Even having a strong indentity with the metal shouldn't allow him to burn a metal he cannot normally burn. Also, I doubt that Aslydin could store any identity besides her own. Another thing that should be noted is that we actually do not know that Aslydin is even a Feruchemist (although I think it is highly likely that she is).
  24. You are referring to this: WoB: This is an interesting idea. Although I suspect it would make it so only someone with "no identity" could access the new Metalmind. This isn't a universal hack but it would allow Full Feruchemists (or Trueself Ferrings) to access each other's metalminds provided they were created that way.
  25. Demoux's girlfriend is named Aslydin. While I suspect that you are correct in your assumption that she recruited him into the 17th shard, to my knowledge, we don't officially know this. He may well have recruited her... Regarding Terris knowing something about worldhopping, The Keepers were an offshoot of the Worldbringers and per WoB we know that the Worldbringers were at least somewhat cosmically aware (and it has been speculated that their origin as a group may be Hoid). This is an interesting idea, there has been some speculation about "unlocking" a Feruchemical metalmind. To my knowledge Brandon has even confirmed that it is possible although not necessarily an easy process. With that said, I'm still not sure how Demoux would be able to access it even if the metalmind were unlocked as he is not a Feruchemist (Unless perhaps Harmony made him into one or at least a Ferring?) There is also the potential that a Metalmind can be hacked so its stores can be drawn upon by a non-Feruchemist but not filled by them. I may have to ask Brandon that at the Shadows of Self release tour.
