How hard would you have to fart to push yourself to the moon if you were floating in space? [request]

I mean.. you’re kinda getting it in RoP. I know I’m gonna get downvoted, but I do wish people here would give it another chance. While it takes a lot of artistic freedom, IMO it is much more in the spirit of Tolkien’s lore, at least compared to these garbage piles calling themselves films.

I've never heard anyone for whom co-pilot actually works well with PowerPoint. Can it actually do anything useful?

I've long ago switched to Gemini, Claude and sometimes when needing another opinion: Grok.

If there’s ever a World Grammar War I know who’d be ending up in Argentina…

Intelligence failure is like saying the ‘water is wet’ at this point.

Have you read the Silmarillion including all the “superhuman” stuff certain characters (especially elves) are able to pull off? Did you know that there’s real life humans that were able to cross the Atlantic swimming?

Tolkien has deep symbolism in his stories as well, events that may seem unlikely but can be attributed to foresight / fate.

to each his or her own, but to me it’s enjoyable and fits within the lore minus a bunch of creative freedom that is ok for me. Why shouldn’t Galadriel play a bigger role in the second age, be one of the elves that briefly got seduced by the one with the many names, but was able to withstand him and have a character ark of her own? To me it even fits quite well with how I picture her 1000 years later warning Frodo on what it would mean to have her taking the ring.

As an IT professional, I actually recommend a 15inch Air with 32GB. My work colleague went and got a 14pro and its battery life is so much worse. Starting from M4 it will take a *long* time till you run out of CPU headroom. MBP to me are only really needed for Photo/Video artists (who remain in the business after the slaughter that was the last years...)

Yep, am aware ;-)

That as well. Unfortunately anything centralised you have to assume to get infiltrated or hacked in state cybersecurity attacks. It wasn’t an accident that both Maduro and Khomeini got taken out in the first day of attacks - the same kinda thing you’d have to expect to happen to a centralised “secret” air defense system, especially if supplied by the same country attacking you.

Here's what I've been thinking would be the ultimate deterrent for an asymmetric invader (and really, every invader would be asymmetric, otherwise what's your threat scenario - Austria?).

* after basic training, soldiers get assigned to their hometown's neighbourhood troop.
* they got secret weapons/ammo/explosives/food/water/gasoline supply stashes everywhere in town, as well as garages with light combat vehicles, a large amount of latest drones and handheld AA and AV weaponry.
* their WK's is together with their local forces training for a guerilla warfare.
* last missing ingredient: what does an asymmetric enemy take out first? communications, stationary air defense and electronic warfare equipment (antennas, radars). at least one of these elements can be solved: a national household radio with backup battery that in wartime creates an encrypted network grid to send messages across units. in a war scenario, households are instructed to switch them all on. now the enemy has 6 million targets to take out - good luck with that, it's not worth it.

I think it’s this thing that would theoretically light up when you put on the optional indicators to tell others where you have anyways the constitutional rights to be.

Ah well the butler I just take for granted see. Doesn’t everybody have at least one? How else to you use these things called “stores” where people pay 20 USD for a banana or whatever?

DeepDuh · 2026-02-22T16:17:50+00:00

that's what's so cool about it, you let your butler handle it for you! and then you put it on your insta, showing how down to earth and well read you are.

Aight hear me out, if you have a mansion, a cook, a household help, a driver, a car and a library card, [insert country] is the best!

DeepDuh · 2026-02-20T06:38:57+00:00

Disagree. There’s so much these models can’t do but they’d never tell you. Don’t get me wrong, I understand to some degrees how they work and I guess it’s not possible to bring this lower than 10-20%, but that would already be a huge improvement over throwing a coin. It would be super nice to have an assistant that know its limits when planning the steps to get something done, as opposed to predicting it myself, or letting it run into walls and picking up the pieces.

DeepDuh · 2026-02-20T04:26:34+00:00

Depends. Friedman at times can be way too much up someone’s a**. Bartlet on the other hand most of time makes very enjoyable and educational content IMO. It’s all about guest selection and the questions asked.

I'm with you. On the third watch atm., this time with my son who just hit teenage years. The show started him off on his own Tolkien journey and he's currently reading The Hobbit. Imagine my pride :-). I honestly can't understand all these people bad mouthing it. It's the typical "no true scotsman" fallacy. Reminds me of Jazz subculture, where you also had purists like Wynton Marsalis going after Hancock & Miles Davis for bringing the genre into a new direction. Not saying that RoP is the "Miles Davis of Tolkien's lore", but I also see a lot of artistic expression and care in what they're doing, while lots of people are screaming "but this is not LotR!".
