Dammit, thanks, it’s my first time posting on Lemmy.

As for my optimism, it’s pretty high because of the comments he left on Reddit after the announcement (again, emphasis mine), like:

There is a reason I’ve been studying Tolkien lately. Peter Jackson and his team did a brilliant job on that and if you look at the special editions, they are roughly about the length of a season of a show together covering about the same wordcount as a stormlight book

One of my hopes is that we won’t have the huge delays between seasons as is common in streaming. So I’ll focus on that, and learning from GoT and making sure the books finish on time

and

Yes, if this delays Elantris sequels, I have to live with that. It will not delay Mistborn or Stormlight; but it might impact secret projects

Please, please, be good 🙏

Not really, all commercial olive oils taste the same because most of its composition is the same. If you ever tried “homemade” extra virgin olive oil, you’d be able to tell right away but I rarely found good oil outside of Tuscany and, even then, none as good as the ones that my friends make.

I used to work in packaging for Sardelli; we bottled, boxed, and shipped many different brands of olive oil of different qualities. There are different tanks of different qualities of olive oil and depending on the mix they are sold as olive oil, virgin olive oil, extra virgin olive oil, etc. Some are expensive, some are cheap, none of them are 100% extra virgin olive oil, just enough that they can be legally sold as such.
