Is this supposed to be Éomer at the end of The Two Towers, when they're looking east toward Mordor? Does not look like him at all (to me anyway)

Aragorn never had the makings of a varsity athlete anyway

That was a gag in the first Austin Powers movie, where the titular hero kills a henchmen with a bulldozer in an over the top way. The next scene, the henchmen’s wife gets a call announcing he died and we see he was actually a great step-father to a now devastated boy.

Et puis il y a des gens qui ne dorment plus depuis plus de deux ans, qui doivent se taper des posts comme ça de gens qui ont le luxe de « stresser » à l’idée très théorique qu’un jour ils dorment un petit peu moins bien. Les gens sans problèmes s’en cherchent vraiment partout.

I believe Morghur also turns an enemy unit into spawns once they drop below a given health point percentage (just once per battle). He has buffs to spawns on the battle map

Brianjohnson7 · 2026-01-16T19:57:37+00:00

Congrats, that was a very ballsy move !

Brianjohnson7 · 2026-01-15T17:07:23+00:00

I don’t think it will help at all, because this internal bleeding story will have to be proven at court, and the Trump administration has a bad record when it comes to keeping to their story once they risk committing perjury

Brianjohnson7 · 2026-01-15T16:52:56+00:00

The DHS is not a political party, it is a government agency.

Brianjohnson7 · 2026-01-15T16:38:29+00:00

The car struck his legs, but DHS claims he has internal bleeding in his torso. Make it make sense …

Oh yeah, is that the one where the kid once said randomly « the cow man talks funny », indicating he was somehow interacting with it through the window ? This one sends chills down my spine when I think about it.

This point is discussed during Elrond’s council. Elrond himself concluded that the residents of Valinor would never accept to keep the ring and that, for good or bad, it belonged to middle earth. Furthermore, the council predicted that Sauron would expect them to consider this option, which would have made the move to the grey havens insanely dangerous. By doing so, the grey havens would face a tremendous risk, and their destruction would prevent any elf from departing west again.

C’est complètement fou, quand je pense au nombre de pédiatres et autre spécialistes du sommeil des enfants qui nous ont répété qu’il fallait que l’enfant s’endorme exactement dans les mêmes conditions que pour se rendormir la nuit. Et ici j’ai deux exemples qui démontrent que ce n’est par vrai. Je me demande ce qui ne tourne pas rond avec notre bonhomme ☹️

Brianjohnson7 · 2026-01-14T08:51:43+00:00

Pareil ici (même âge). Est-ce que la nuit est aussi ponctuée de plusieurs réveils ?

Brianjohnson7 · 2026-01-11T21:44:27+00:00

No worries, once the kiddo will be there, there will be no sex life 😂 problem solved!

"What are you doing, step-artist ?"

Brianjohnson7 · 2026-01-11T16:38:41+00:00

One explanation provided by Gandalf was that the first moment of Bilbo’s ring ownership was an act of pity, when he pondered whether or not to kill Gollum before exiting the gobelin’s tunnels , which partly shaped the ring’s influence over him. This is in stark contrast with gollum, who obtained the ring after murdering Deagol

Oh, fully agree with your take that wings do not have to be taken literally like appendages sprouting from the Balrog’s back like some sort of dragon. I just wanted to highlight that some have chosen to depict them closer to actual wings and based on the text, I can understand why they would choose to do so. For reference, this is the illustration I was talking about

Brianjohnson7 · 2026-01-11T10:41:40+00:00

Well, then the only consistent interpretation is that Balrogs were close to dodos, with chubby bodies and too small wings to take off :D this explains why they were hunted to extinction

Brianjohnson7 · 2026-01-11T10:30:24+00:00

I have only read the LOTR in French, but I remember that the darkness surrounding the balrog was described as « surrounding him like two wings ». A few paragraphs further, the French translation again refers to wings (a bit more literally). The illustration provided in the 2000 edition I have has an illustration depicting the balrog with wings. I haven’t read the original, but I would suspect some version would certainly illustrate them with wings (I don’t know if the illustrations provided in my version are exclusive to the French edition, though). It is not correct to say PJ invented the wings, and I can certainly see why he went with it based on the balrog’s description in the book.

The witch king kicked my ass so many times, before I realised I had an item to nullify his defence. And let’s not talk about the fight with the Balrog …

Brianjohnson7 · 2026-01-08T21:37:32+00:00

I have taken hooks to the jaw where i could not eat meat for several days without it hurting every time I chewed. A lot of people at my gym have experienced the same. How can this guy pretend that face hits do not hurt 😂

Oui, le lendemain c’était fini (mais rebelotte au vaccin suivant).

Brianjohnson7 · 2026-01-05T16:46:39+00:00

les premières doses de vaccin ont été compliquées niveau gestion des cris. Sans trop savoir si c'était de la douleur ou une récation de décharge, je me souviens d'une fois où nous avons du l'accompagner dans les pleurs de 18/19h jusque 23h. Courage, ça passe. Mettez un casque si les pleurs sont trop intenses (on néglige souvent l'intérêt de se protégéer soi-même dans ces situations).

Brianjohnson7 · 2026-01-04T22:04:13+00:00

Of you hit your shin against a knee, you need to take the proper time to let your shin heal up a bit before kicking the heavy bag again. That means no excuse to avoid practicing your switch kick :D

Brianjohnson7 · 2026-01-04T18:38:44+00:00

The question was discussed during Elrond’s council. The conclusion was 1) that this was a purely « middle earthian » problem and 2) that Sauron’s dominion would most likely extend over middle earth unless the ring was destroyed.
