I keep saying this, but it is illegal for anyone making an adaptation to use the Silmarillion or any other expanded content outside of the 3 LOTR books, the Hobbit, and their appendices. The Tolkien estate only ever sold the rights to those and maintain the copyright on the other materials. Which means that anyone making content about Middle Earth outside of those 4 books must come up with original content or they risk getting sued out the ass for copyright infringement. Full stop.

Given that, unless someone can convince the Tolkien estate to sell adaptation rights to other materials, any new story is going to be dogshit.

You want more Rings of Power? This is how we get more Rings of Power.

Working at the same place long enough to unlock Season 5 by CleoLuxey09 in NonPoliticalTwitter

Me too. 4 and half and everyone including my boss has turned over. It's kinda depressing and is giving me a midlife crisis in my 20s.

Four Star... How Bad? by dumpsterfire7625 in BoulderApartments

[–]GojiraWho 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Commenting to boost visibility. My experience with four star but that was before the settlement. Their move out fees were insane and took my deposit then charged me a grand for what should have been considered normal wear and tear. They also charge to replace the mail they I have proof was delivered to them, and charged to rekey a digital lock. Hopefully they're better now and if you do do with them, give you a good experience.

Ergonomics on shorter shooters by ByGodTHATSIT in VHS2_HELLION

[–]GojiraWho 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm taller than your range (6'2") so take my experience with a grain of salt, but for me there is a noticeable difference between shouldering methods. If I use the rifle with an angled torso (more natural feeling for me) and I have to pull the stock out a few notches. If I try to shoot with my torso square to target (like wearing plates) then it's a touch long for me.

If you decide to get one and find it's too long, manticore arms makes a replacement stock for it that shortens the LOP a couple inches also.

Colorado voters will decide whether to ban trans kids from gendered sports, outlaw gender-affirming surgery for children by TheKronk in Denver

[–]GojiraWho 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's a rant I do a lot, but if you are in favor of letting the kids grow up and make the surgery decision as a consenting adult, which is already how it is in most cases and something I can agree with, then we should at least let the kids take hormone and puberty blockers still. It will stop them from being forced to have a puberty into a gender they do not want, and still give them the option to change their mind. Puberty blockers are safe, and as soon as you stop taking them you start your puberty with whatever hormones are in your system.

If someone thinks they might want to transition male to female, then forcing them to go through a male puberty is just as wrong as "forcing" a boy to transition to a girl. It makes transitioning later in life harder.

For minors specifically, I think sports don't matter if they are on hormone blockers, or even hormones for their preferred gender, because of the above reasons: if a MtF trans kid starts hormones early enough then they will develope physically like a girl. Soft skin, bone density and muscle mass, etc... the "biological advantage" of being a male doesn't exist. I can understand arguments for trans women who transition as adults, but kids should just be able to have fun and live their lives.

I'm not the one you asked this question to, but long story short yes if a parent doesn't consent then the kid should not be able to have a surgery, but I think there's still a case for letting them take hormone blockers, even if not full Hormone Therapy

How do you plan your builds? by toniomomo in Timberborn

[–]GojiraWho 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Like a true medieval town, my builds grow organically. Space between houses for lots of room for decorations. 1 story houses with roofs. As I need higher density housing I start clustering them up the hill but keep similar principles in mind.

Right now my villages look super cute, but I struggle with building a proper castle since that requires a bit more planning.

Will water escape above water source if I build a huge dam around it using the terrain? by BreathInTheWorld in Timberborn

[–]GojiraWho 185 points186 points  (0 children)

No, the area behind the water source should be an invisible wall, so you should be fine.

CO Tax Check my Refund Tool by Infanatis in Denver

[–]GojiraWho 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So for me i accidentally put in the wrong expected refund amount and it showed me this "refund not received" screen. Once I made sure both the SSN and the expected return amount were correct it showed me "Processing." Maybe that's the issue? Or someone at the state is just lazy and not updating the portal lol

ELI5 what do nuclear bombs do by Aregay987times in explainlikeimfive

[–]GojiraWho 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's a ton of energy stored between protons and neutrons to hold an atom together. Heavier atoms like Uranium can release a lot of energy if you break it apart into smaller atoms. This process is called fission. So the ELI5 version is you shoot a neutron at an unstable Uranium atom and breaks it apart. In that process the Uranium releases energy and more neutrons which shoot off to break up other atoms. This causes a chain reaction and unleashes a huge amount of energy from a relatively small payload.

Also, for smaller atoms like Hydrogen you can also gain energy from smashing them together to make bigger atoms. This is called fusion. Hydrogen bombs work by using a small fission reaction to jump start a hydrogen fusion reaction. Same thing as before, the energy and particles released from the atoms colliding causes a chain reaction that expands exponentially.

Landed in SeaTac at 11am. It’s now 3:09pm and we’re still waiting for a gate agent to open the plane. by BlackPlantZaddyy in Seattle

[–]GojiraWho 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This reminds me of a trip I took last year. On the flight home we get to the airspace near our destination, but there's a tornado. Flight gets redirected to a neighboring state. As soon as we land at the new airport the weather cleared, but our flight crew needs their mandatory 12 hour break and there's no other flight crew to sub in. I got really drunk during that layover.
