  1. Yes é produces approximately the same sound as a long a here. My brain must not have been working or I would have thought to just use é But, Kelsier is French inspired, and word of Brandon is that Kelsier should be pronounced with a é sound and the end, so you're actually right
  2. I'm not a linguist, is that a "long a" sound, like we'd hear at the end of an -er verb?
  3. Yeah, ideally we want our base to be the LCM of the largest possible set, while still remaining small enough to be usable. base-12 does a great job of this compared to decimal since it is the LCM of 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 12. 60 is a multiple of 12 and it's factors, but also of 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, and 60. Binary's main utility is with electricity based computing, where there's an on and off state.. Same goes for base-16, it's only a multiple of 1, 2, 4, 8, and 16, but two digits are equivalent to 1 byte (8 binary bits or digits) of data, which makes it convenient for CS people. MB Some people like octal for CS stuff too, but I despise it since you can't split a byte into octal very easily.
  4. Huge fan of hexadecimal. Binary is neat, but it gets old fast, base 60 is superior, if difficult to use.
  5. Bonjour, How do you pronounce Kelsier
  6. Sorry for your loss. Also, I agree, potatoes are also really awesome.
  7. Nope, I'm graduated
  8. I love a big beefsteak slice on a sandwich, especially a burger. Not as much as I like peppers though.
  9. Welcome, welcome. You should just steal bookies books.
  10. Not really unless I already have convo going with them.
  11. I've tried reaching out to them, haven't got responses back from most. I've got friends from church who do still talk to me, but I never really talked to most of them outside of church things, so it's awkward trying to strike up convos now. So right now I've only got one running convo and then people on the shard who talk to me.
  12. Dang, I never realized. Makes sense why he was infrequent on here though. Silly silly me I guess. Edit: if by chance anyone is at institute tomorrow and sees a guy in a t-shirt that says there were books involved introduce yourself, please.
  13. Wait, when was this talk? I know exp got back since I've been on the shard, but I don't remember when.
  14. My brother played free fallin' today and man it matches what I'm feeling almost exactly.

  15. Oh look, it's another Nebraskan

      Welcome young padawan

  16. I tried once and then rbm died (not to mention I didn't actually understand how they were supposed to work.
  17. Hmmm, this is really tough, I'm going to go coffee. Hope this doesn't backfire.
  18. Yeah, I wasn't sure on that, I think it's similar for savants however.

  20. I would say that it does what a copper mind does normally for a person, which I thought was closer to #2.
  21. I thought I was done with this and over her enough to not do this, but I guess not. Yesterday I had institute (church classes for college age adults) and the whole time all I could think was, "if we were still together I could have invited her to come with me" and when I got home I cried again because I miss her. And I feel like I have no friends anymore, I stopped talking to them as much when I started dating and it's hard to bring any of my friendships back to life. I know that it's good for me that I'm not with her cause there were problems in that relationship, but I'm so lonely now and it's all I can think about.
  22. I have not, but I think someone, maybe cuffee? arrrrraris? said they thought they saw a possible gimmick. Any guesses? It's:
  23. Wut. How many golems are there? My brain hurts.
  24. Of course you do. What is your favorite math pun?
