    WarnerMedia launching HBO Max Spring 2020

    I think they are mostly removing content to get tax write offs and some content will be licensed to ad based streaming services, not sure what ones.

    Spotify and speechify. If you read his state of Sanderson he goes into reasons why. I guess audible really fucks authors

    The cosmere is supposed to be something like 37 books long, so it will be a long as time. I think he has the next 20 years at least laid out maybe even longer. He'll still finish the cosmere before martin puts out winds of winter.

    Deaths and Inheritance

    Stories like this are why I'm glad I'm an only child. My mom and stepdad are pretty well off, only stipulation in their will is half of the estate is to be donated in my step dad's name to his college.

    I think Sanderson said 50-70 years will be the time jump. I loved this book just for the expanded cosmere but was disappointed that we won't get any more wax stories and there seemed to be so much hanging.

    Deaths and Inheritance

    I think there isn't much you can do. Your mom won't do anything and your sisters seem content to mooch off her. You could have a frank talk with your mom but that might turn out badly and start a feud with your sisters when they found out.

    I've lost track of how many series he has left to do. I know the back 5 of stormlight and the mistborn trilogy. I think a dragonsteel one.

    I believe Sanderson has said that the final mistborn trilogy will be heavy into the cosmere.

    What is your mom's plan for them after she passes? They just going to inherit a shitton of money? If that is the case, sounds like they would probably blow through it in months.

    Home Improvement

    When we built our house, just the shared walls were drywalled. I ended up insulating and drywalling the rest of it just to make it look nicer, no real reason to do it.

    DC's Legends of Tomorrow

    https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/cw-cancels-legends-of-tomorrow-7-seasons-1235138530/ This was cancelled. Not surprising but I thought this was one of the better DC shows but because it never took itself seriously.

    I've been seeing articles pop up on my feed about how managers are going to strong arm people to come back and work in the office, including fire people.
