If you have to/want To go the HTML route, w3 schools is the way to go. They make it really easy and fast to learn CSS and HTML.

I'm working on making a basic echo dot control my room via raspberry pi 2, but having trouble finding some of the parts and know how to do it. Anyone on here good with pi?

well, there's plenty of things an internet connection is useful for when driving. Streaming music via internet radio/cloud music players/such things, getting alerts of speed traps via an app like trapster, live traffic updates, navigation/directions (with a GPS, of course), and probably other things i cant think of off hand

Granted, if the majority of your driving is basically "5-10 minutes in the car" type of driving, these things may not seem important, but back when i was driving an hour to and from work every day, the above things helped me out quite often.

 I just audible Sanderson books offline for long drives. Or I listen to NPR, KSL, or something on the radio. 

So this doesn't have to be about sanderson stuff? Just general tech stuff we want to talk about?

Firstly upvotes to extension for finding the quote.

secondly, as far as I can remember,

It would be nice if I could find a way to directly upload audio of interviews to the site somewhere. The best way I can find is a google drive link in a post, but my mobile device can't access google drive, and I have very limited access to desktops.

Aaaahhh. I'm extremely jealous that explains why it wasn't on my list of events to chase up. Awesome!

In light of it being a private event I understand if there are restrictions on posting stuff. But if you do want help with transcription let me know, and I or anyone else can start a thread for transcripts, WoBs and reactions if you want to provide the details (or  of course you can buy going to the events thread - I get the feeling you'll be deserving a Braize of a lot more upvotes than you currently have (whether or not you care about up votes) good stuff!

I need to check the forum rules, but Brandon did not forbid me from making any of my questions and answers public. I will attach the audio when I have a computer that can clip out the accidental five minutes of static.

Is there a thread for this event? I didn't see one, I've just been seeing @Just another guyn post comments about asking questions. If there isn't an established thread I'm very happy to do some transcribing?

It wasn't a public event, to my knowledge it was only for his students at byu and a few of their friends. I can make a thread for it if you want.

I asked Brandon about possible issues with compounding mental speed, such as extream hunger. Apparently the hunger is only due to calories burned as regular thought process, not due to speeding of any digestive proccess, so you wouldn't need much food to sustain the compounding. 

Where do I send audio I have from a signing?

So I asked Brandon at the signing tonight about what would happen if you drew a line of forbidance in a chalkling, and he said it would negate both of them. I was going to post it as a theory last night, but couldn't, so here is the solved theory.

 Just asked Brandon about it at a book signing, and he said that there are over a million theoretical possible metals, however there are not actually that many usable ones. I asked about that being due to some exploding on contact with water like harmonium, and he partially rafoed me, and said that harmonium would be very difficult to burn as it "reacts violently with nearly everything"

But what attribute would a hemalurgical spike even have to steal for Renarin to have these kinds of visions? It seems very different from everything we've seen vis-a-vis Ruin's whispers (as well as Sazed's use of hemalurgy with the Kandra and Wax), in my opinion. 

I'm not saying it still any particular attribute, I'm just saying a shard could be using it as a way into renarins sou to manipulate him, like ruin did to vin

I would probably have energy storage and conversion, so if I get hit by a falling truck I can then convert the energy into electricity and zap someone. This means I would usually appear as completely black as I am absorbing all light hitting me... 

my secondary ability would either be photon manipulation or mind control. Idk.

My name would be Void

and anyone who insults me will eat fish sticks, after which I will boil them.

and my weekness would probably be thunder. I have almost been struck by lightning several times (within a hundred feet) and have a phobia for it already. Either that or public speaking. 

After further reading, there is also the possibility of more base metals then just 16. Just thought I would mention that.

Well I'm not an astronomer but there are 2 types of red stars. First you have the aging red giants, who are big and close to dying. Then we have the red dwarfs, the really tiny, really long lasting stars, which are also fairly dim. If I had to say which of the two stars these are more likely to be, I would say they are probably red giants rather than red dwarfs. Which then that means that they've decayed quite a bit. I wonder if the set of red stars is mentioned in any other books... that could give us a sense of timeline. 

 

  Reveal hidden contents

I doubt that the mold made stars die, simply because as far as we know, it's a MOLD. And mold would greatly struggle getting anywhere near a star to fainify it. Because it's a star, and no matter what form this mold is in, I highly doubt that the mold wouldn't burn up. 

 

There is also the possibility of red shift by those stars traveling away  at high speeds... energy released from splintering might do it... also there is the possibility of some sort of black hole warping light that gets to near it, witch also could cause redness. I'm not much for physics, but if I remember from the class I took correctly, then this is possible. Please correct me if I am wrong.

We already have an example of this; Sixth of the Dusk has a Perpendicularity that is on a planet with no Shard.

do we know there is no shard on sixth of dusk?

I think we should look for hemalurgy in those expensing visions... it smells to much of what ruin did. Even if it's not physical hemalurgy.... (insert personal theory on how traumatic events cause ruptures in connections that mirror hemalurgy can sdna scars)  hemalurgy messing with renarin is exactly the kind of heart wrenching evil Brandon is capable of. 

Back to the letter writing, I think it will be hoid writing to a nonshard... but that's just my gut reaction. 

Soul stamping may also be able to work around that by changing an object past. The other option is stamping nightblood sheath or something always near nightblood. I wonder if odium plus night blood would result in some sort of scar on the cosmere... we already have one of those...

Everything being networked together by the external connections is something I agree with. It almost seems like there is one vast complex spirit web , kind of like a computer program, with individual tags for each person.... when considering this with how feruchemy works, it almost seems like feruchemy is then the pinching off of a single strand and the letting it out... kind of like kinking a hose to stop the flow, then getting higher pressure out of it when you release it... i guess I'm just rambling, but the long and short of it is I agree with your basic theory, although not entirely with the subastral. I do think that Soren could have just taken a bit of shadesmar and expanded it, stretching the space there and creating their cities, if they didn't just build them wherever, rather than there being a separate layer of the cognitive realm. 

With the right modifiers, you could put an upper limit on night blood, to prevent any "sleep". I personally think stamping would be better, as I suspect that has a better chance of working throughout the cosmere. There also may be a way to "fix" investiture night blood emits as black smoke... possibly with the stamp? But I definitely think linking nightblood to the dor would be scary. Sounds like something odium might have a use for...

edit: in retrospect, knowing the Brandon occasionally looks at these threads, I suggest you hide this where it will never be seen as odium using nightblood with it connected to at least two other shards is entirely to terrifying. Not even bacon could fix that. 

When someone mentions the cosmere and you make the fan girl sqeak followed by the hand waving thing...

and your a guy

on a date

with someone really cute 

who doesn't Sanderson.

or you realize you are much less attracted to your prom date based on the fact that the dor has two o's to them

or your favorite date is the one where the movie was cancelled so you just discussed aondor theory for three hours at Wendy's. 

What if instead both shards are in both systems. All those who become elantrians seem to be devoted to something. Raoden to the people, (or devoted dominion over the people) kayrita to her family, etc. In fact what if connection to both devotion and domonion is what makes one a "more powerful" elantrian, more connected to the dor?
