Did he ever actually have the ring? I know he tried to take it from Frodo, but i don’t think he succeeded. Unless i’m getting confused since i have watched the movies more recently than i have read the books…
Edit: totally forgot about outside moria. apparently i need to do a re-read AND a re-watch lol.
Wouldn’t that only be correct about 25% of the time?
I think Gollum still looks pretty damn good,and those movies are just as old (give or take a year? two? who remembers…)
Doesn’t have your address on it though.
yeah, mycotoxins (ie: toxic byproducts from fungi/mold decomposing your food stuffs) don’t always get broken down during cooking. So, while cooking according to standard food safety specs may have killed the mold, their shit is still everywhere ready to fuck your shit up.
Not to mention that you have to survive an infection before it matters that you immune system learned to detect the infectious agent. Yes, the first inoculation techniques were literally just minor exposure to the infectious agent (eg: grinding smallpox scabs and blowing the resulting powder up the nose – wtf). While it technically worked, the mortality rate was still pretty damn high, just not quite as high as ya know getting smallpox the normal way, and thus really only used when a serious outbreak was occuring. We’ve gotten so much better at making vaccination safer and more effective, because we now know so much more about what is actually occuring biologically and know to use attenuated virus or just the benign protein coat alone to achieve results. Why would you ever want to go back to scab-snorting (or toilet licking, apparently, lol)?
There are some times when i believe i’m only as old as i feel. And there are other times when i realize i’m actually just Abe Simpson with an onion still on my belt yelling at clouds.
Get a skein of medium-weight yarn in a light color (it’s easier to see what you’re doing) and whatever the recommend hook size it says on the label. Then watch some tutorials for basic stitches. I’d start making a little pot holder kinda thing with double or half-double crochet stitch. It’s small enough that you can get used to turning rows, and it’ll work up pretty fast with the medium weight yarn to give you some nice dopamine when you finish.
I would definitely recommended learning with just regular yarn, nothing fancy, until you get used to it. Yarn with lots of variability in the weight (as i expect plastic bags would have) is going to be difficult if you’re not comfortable with the basics.
deck game-specific settings:
in-game settings:
For some graphically-intensive builds or that one map in the swampy area that i cannot for the life of me maintain 40fps, i turn the resolution down in-game (but still fullscreen) and use the deck’s FSR at max sharpness, though this does make text a little hard to read, so i try to avoid it. I can generally get away with tdp limit of 10-12W too.
i play exclusively on the steam deck and am happy with the performance
I think that’s one of the theories for explaining dark matter (i personally like the idea because it can also possibly address why gravity seems to be so much weaker of a fundamental force, but i’m a chemist, not a physicist, so take that with a grain of salt).
We actually kinda do perceive a fourth dimension: time. Sure, we infer it from our memories and come up with cause and effect relationships to help us understand it. But we do know it’s there.
OH! I see it! It’s a little guy saluting
welp, there goes my Tuesday.
to me at least, the picture made it look like the galaxies and stuff were inside the “bread” of the donut, as opposed to being “frosting” on the surface.
Because “tasteless” also has the alternative definition, meaning “gaudy”, “tacky”, or “pretentious”. So, I think they did indeed think about it, perhaps even longer than you did before getting all worked up over it.
For pizza, we preheat our oven at 25°F higher than the cook temperature, with the pizza stone already in there, then turn it down when we slide the pizza in. Perfectly done crust every time. Before we started doing that, we were experimenting with waiting some number of minutes after the oven said it was done preheating before putting the pizza in (as the preheat sensor doesn’t know that the pizza stone takes longer to get to temperature than the air), but the high-temp preheat seems to give better and more consistent results. Our oven also beeps when it’s done preheating, so no need for additional timers either!
Has that ever stopped them before?
LotR is generally published in three named volumes, but each volume is broken up into two “books” (in this context, meaning a major division of a literary work, not a set of bound pages). FotR, Book II starts with the chapter “Many Meetings” (when Frodo wakes up in Rivendell).
with another deposition scheduled for Saturday… don’t forget that part. he wasn’t even done giving evidence.
well, now i feel dumb. yes, that certainly counts.
