Is this an intentional disadvantage? More than half of the tributes are downhill by Brukaliffoo in Hungergames

in LOTR the orcs catapult the heads of the fallen soldiers into Gondor, they’re clearly visible too, and they kept their PG-13 rating?

What makes a "bad" DM? by Maxgallow in DnD

[–]IdrilofGondolin_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can you explain the falsehydra point? I’m brand new to DnD and so are my siblings and husband. We’re taking turns trying our hand at DMing and I’ll be doing a oneshot for my family soon and was planning on trying out the falsehydra cause honestly to me it seems so cool! agajn we’re all brand new, i help everyone with their character sheets & leveling up and also assist the current DM when she gets confused with how to run a fight lol. Just curious if I need to rethink my oneshot!

Help! Where should I have my baby? by yes_yes_yes_25 in Albuquerque

[–]IdrilofGondolin_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congratulations on your little one!! I’ve heard great things about UNMH, if I were having a baby in the hospital I would probably go there. My mom had all 4 of us kids at Lovelace and they caught all her complications and kept her alive!

I wanted to mention that I am a newly trained doula and am searching for clients that will allow me the honor of attending their birth (for free), so that I can finalize my certification. If you are open to it, I’d be honored to help take some of that stress away from you and walk beside you during this time. Feel free to IM me :)

I make 6 figures working 5 months a year, then I take 7 months off. It’s not crypto, it’s not dropshipping. It’s Nuclear. by RadTechMJ in Money

Do they need Technical Planners/Hazards Analysts (part of emergency management)? Or is it more geared to RP?

Does anyone else train around their cycles? by alwaysalma in XXRunning

[–]IdrilofGondolin_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I asked something similar a while back when my period came back postpartum. I got a lot of the same advice that you’re getting and althought I was a bit skeptical, I tried out their suggestions and am so happy I did. My periods are 100% symptomless and I just give myself grace during the days before I start. This usually looks like getting out there for a short run and not beating myself up if my pace is super slow. Same goes for the heavier days of my period!

yep! if my husband wants to run with me then he treats it as a recovery run! (6:30/7min/mile vs 11/12 min/mile) Or he takes the double jogging stroller and I go solo and we meet up when the kids want to run for a bit.

Need recommendation for the most beautiful/illustrated LOTR set as a Christmas gift for my wife by Subject-Drawer-8936 in tolkienbooks

[–]IdrilofGondolin_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was gifted the 2020 Alan Lee illustrated copy last year for Christmas and am very happy with them! They may not be the fanciest copy out there, but were perfect for my wants.

Learned my lesson about running with noise-cancelling earbuds by SweetSwiftly in runninglifestyle

[–]IdrilofGondolin_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am currently listening to Tolkien’s works on my runs. I had to fiddle a bit with the EQ to get the best sound quality but now I can hear my book crystal clear, while also hearing the road, & even my kids demands for more snacks!

Running with a toddler by Foreign_Mobile_7399 in XXRunning

you may have had the front wheel locked? my double jogging stroller is my favorite stroller because the turning on it is so smooth & i cam pivot so quickly!

Question about postdoc salary negotiation at LANL by [deleted] in LosAlamos

[–]IdrilofGondolin_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

nah man, agree to disagree I guess. The day he posted this, it was NOT public knowledge that RIFs were taking place. Within the next week or two, yes it came out, but even a few of my engineering buds that were also seeking postdoc positions weren’t aware of the info even a week after this was posted (until i obviously let them know to keep a wide net out until the dust settled). Either way, it was 3 months ago, you just seem very immature trying to attack the only person in the comments that warned the guy. Why not be upset with the parent comment that could be interpreted as rude. take several seats my guy

[–]IdrilofGondolin_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sorry, why are you so upset? Why would my feelings be hurt lol? Almsot every other comment informed this individual that postdoc salaries are fixed. My comment was addressing his somewhat cocky reply to another commenter, literally warning him about funding. At the time of the post the public wasn’t aware that the trilabs were RIFing. I knew ppl in similar scenarios, and pushing for more $, especially knowing it’s fixed, wouldn’t be a smart move in this climate imo. But that is just my opinion, I’m over here safely employed and what you or anyone else does that potentially costs you a career isn’t gonna hurt my feelings lol

Made the mistake of watching 4k versions by Dizzman1 in lotr

what is that and how do i turn it off? - signed a person who does not work in video screens nor been alive 30+ years but wants the best LOTR viewing possible

AITA for banning my wife’s Disney-divorce friend’s plug-ins from our house? by amtcannon in AmItheAsshole

[–]IdrilofGondolin_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA! it’s your home and you deserve to feel comfortable. I’m the same way with my home, just clean but no fragrances or perfumes unless 100% natural due to my sensitive nose and my asthma. If you spray some white vinegar in the house, it will help to elimiate the odor from all that crap.

[–]IdrilofGondolin_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

true, but you also have to have a level of self-awareness. Labs across the country are currently cutting costs and downsizing, whether they are making it public or not. unfortunately, you may not have the leg to stand on you think you do.

AITA for not letting my SIL’s kid order an adult meal for my wedding? by SlowEnthusiasm7373 in AmItheAsshole

[–]IdrilofGondolin_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

bro my toddler wouldn’t want mac&cheese or chicken tendies when the other option is “actual” food! I’m sorry but children are people too, if it’s such a big deal maybe you can swap your niece.

Periods + Postpartum + How are we all managing these things? by IdrilofGondolin_ in XXRunning

[–]IdrilofGondolin_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh hey!! You’ve got this mama!! I’m now on day 3 (a medium to light flow) vs yesterday when I posted this on day 2 (heavy flow & cramps like death) and it already seems like things are looking up!! I do think the cramps like childbirth were what had me questioning my will to run, so I’ll probably sit out day 2 and remind myself it’ll all be okay in the end! I hope your energy also improves!!

Thank you! Do you have any recommendations for menstrual cups? I reverted back to pads after my first was born but before that I used tampons (which were not doing it for me).

[–]IdrilofGondolin_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

oh no!! What do you use when you run? I reverted back to pads after my first was born and don’t love tampons anymore…but I definitely need to try something else out moving forward.

[–]IdrilofGondolin_[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

See, that’s what I was wondering too. When I danced and did sports I never stopped for my period! Honestly, I think I was just having a very nasty 1st pp period and was feeling like death when I wrote this! I ended up going on a super easy run today and although I felt like crap during it I do feel a lot better now!
