Pechvarry

No rush, just checking into the feasibility of such a change is enough to make me happier. I wish I could write it for you, but I wasn't even a good programmer 10 years ago when my degree said I was. Falling out of practice sure didn't make me better. Still, I was always way better at fixing other people's broken features than adding new ones, so tell me if I can help with debugging or... Something.

It's just getting embarrassing when every 3rd post is "hey, I have nothing to contribute, but can someone fix my Pechvote?" Earlier today (Sorry, Kurk!) and last week to Aethling, I did it when trying to press the Tab button (chrome for android). It appears my ideal zoom places the rep buttons directly underneath it. Additionally, I typically navigate my phone solely with my right hand, so I tend to swipe up and down on that side to scroll, resulting in all sorts of accidental button presses. I wonder what's so different about our architecture that makes it impossible? I know other sites that will let you change your vote. I think I've seen some that will let you revisit your year-old posts and change or remove votes, even. As a consolation prize, is it at all possible to rig it so users can opt out of voting altogether? I'd love to be able to rate up on my real computers but not even have the option on the screen for mobile. Better Idea: Can we just get a confirmation Dialogue? "Rate Down this post? Yes/No" Is that out of our scope?

This is getting ridiculous. In the last month, I've voted someone down when trying to vote them up twice, and I've voted someone down twice just trying to manipulate the page. Both of these issues boil down to fat fingers and a mobile version, but can we please get an undo button, even if we only have until we navigate away to make the change? Something as ephemeral as reputation isn't exactly a hotbed for abuse...

Realize this is conjecture, and we don't have information one way or another. That out of the way, if compounding results in an amplification of power because you're burning a charge, then why not when you're burning a burn, so to speak? Furthermore, we know burning duralumin doesn't instantly use up your entire metal reserve of duralumin -- just the metal burnt along with it. If ALL that duralumin or nicrosil were burnt at once, why wouldn't that additional power transfer to the burst?

I almost made a thread the other day just to ask this! I'm gonna disagree with kurkistan because Compounding. If you can burn a charge to create something like a tenfold charge, then I see no reason why bursting a burst wouldn't have wild effects.

Use AonDor to teleport yourself somewhere AonDor doesn't work. Oh wait...

Honestly, I just don't like detailed characters on covers of fantasy. The fashion is always ridiculous and feels vaguely like a cheesy romance novel (which I only keep on hand for animating horrible monstrosities). Being self-conscious, I remove or hide the cover of pretty much any fantasy except Wise Man's Fear and Way of Kings. Spinal Tap hair means this sleeve will probably stay on the bookshelf. But that's not Whelan's problem (who is quite awesome), it's mine.

I assume that's a glowing bag of gems, not goo. This means we don't know which way is _down_. Which might explain some of his posture. Though really, I think he's just action-crouching to get the sweet, sweet gem juice whilst leaning on the butt of his spear. Headband to cover scar. Ok. But headband makes me think of the 80s hair Wheel of Time covers. Kinda making me cringe.

It should be noted we have no guarantee they've discovered the whole planet. So it is pretty accurate to imagine all of North America (no jungle) and an extremely small South America with room for only a single jungle. They don't know about Africa and think their jungle unique. That said... Shinovar lends your theory credence.

Yeah 2 cosmere novellas this year and a 1k tome early next year. That's pretty good. I'd like shadows of self to come out before Q4 next year though.

Health & fitness nut who compounds bendalloy for the challenge.

That's the effect I mentioned in my OP about continued application of force. It's the same as the thrusters on a spaceship. Continued burn just keeps accelerating your ship. But it's still weird when you consider an object large enough to move you as well (like being your same weight). If you fly away faster, relative to the object because you're in a bubble, then isn't that the same as it being heavier? After all, you'll end doing more traveling. Move apart at a uniform rate? Then you have to choose internal or external timeframes. If external, seems like it'd slow you down. Forcing you to observe yourself in slow motion. Use the internal timeframe? The object travels super fast, and we have yet another railgun.

Burning bronze to detect your bronze.

Miles healing is better in every way. Perhaps his pushes out where lesser bloodmakers only heal over Tapping Gold would probably never result in a gold metalmind getting pushed out. Or probably any Invested object. Just doesn't seem like Brandon's style. Total conjecture.

So something I mentioned earlier which keeps me from thinking my interpretation is true is what I called "delayed causality." I'm looking at my assumption that you could push on a coin that's outside of a bubble, which would fly away from you in slow-motion. But the fact is, that coin is technically pushing back at you. Even if just a minuscule amount. If you're not putting the coin in your timeframe, its effective weight is either delayed, somehow, or amplified (what I referred to as pushing against the weight of an entire timeline, just like a coin embedded in a wall pushed you back instead). What happens if it's a heavier object? What if you weigh 150 lb and you push on a 150 lb object? In normal space-time, both you and the object would push away from each other at the same rate (ignoring wind resistance and traction). If you're in a bubble and it's not, what then? You fly backwards faster than the object flies forwards. Do you maintain that improved speed when you break out of the bubble and get deflected in a random direction? Do you suddenly decelerate as you exit the bubble? I don't know how, but I feel like there's an interpretation wherein it's possible to suffer the effect before the cause even occurs, here. I think I'm thinking too hard. The "read-only universe" interpretation where blue lines simply don't reach outside the bubble is looking very appealing, just so I stop trying to abuse edge cases.

So, like, a stationary large bendalloy bubble (say, radiating from a space station) with a smaller, moving bendalloy bubble (anchored to a space ship leaving said station) exiting it? So the crazy exit energy gets doubled and insanity ensues? Best of (tapped) luck! Just an idea of how to incorporate the edges. If you could interlace stationary and ship-anchored bubbles somehow, and direct the energy where you wanted (perhaps the act of being enveloped in your own bubble would be enough to put you an an "average" trajectory, which would be the vector you were already on), it could cut down very heavily on logistics -- though we reintroduce the age old assumption of being able to anchor the bubble to a ship in the first place.

Wow. +1 for insight. Though I think I just lost points of Steelheart approval: "it's just avengers but the main characters are teenagers in the hunger games universe." That's like... Exactly what Hollywood should be looking for.

That's different -- she misinterpreted Pewter's effects. No matter how strong the pewter, it's not going to eject the poison from your body (or however you want to rationalize it). Pewter makes your body strong enough to withstand. Her Pewter burst just made her super immune to the effects of the poison already in her body for a very brief moment. Since that didn't magically render the poison inert, it hit her full force as soon as the pewter was gone. Contrast: Pewter Headbutt

I blame ALL OF YOU (shouting intentional). I'm so fully invested (or maybe Invested?) in the Cosmere that I actually feel perturbed to find out he's prioritizing non-Cosmere content.

I think we're actually led to believe Silence is white fox, since she's the only confirmed bounty hunter. In other news, the whole first paragraph makes me think of dragonsteel/liar. Fallen world being Yolen and it would feasibly possess pre-shattering magic still. The name "white fox" could be a nod (though not an in-world connection) to the fain life. Or the fallen world is just the afterlife and none of it has a cosmere meaning... EDIT: man in the corner is probably a complete red herring since it's such a cliche. But could be Hoid.

Quite sure it was stated that the world has no shard, but could be mistaken. Perhaps there is no afterlife because there's no shard, and everyone becomes shades or something.

Not that I'd put a lot of stock in the MAG, but I think it suggests bursting the power with duralumin or nicrosil ups the power a certain amount (the strength of the person who performed the burst), no matter how much fuel you had.

I think the text mentions it being more efficient; pulling more fuel out of an object before needing more.

Miles has to pull off his mask so his face can heal (train scene). I don't think there's some crazy nuance here. Sometimes splinters get pushed out while healing. Sometimes they stay in.

This is, indeed, the question. I'm working under the assumption that from inside the bubble, the metal would appear to move slowly. So you would push but not see immediate results. However, it's as likely to put the metal into your timeframe and endanger relativity. It's also likely that you would essentially be pushing against the weight of an entire timeline and be violently thrown out of the back of the bubble and not have a meaningful impact on the coin. Assuming the slow push, though, (and implicit delayed causality) your continued pushing wouldn't result in it hitting "the same high speeds". like pushing someone in a shopping cart, you get more speed by running with it before shoving off.
