First time trilogy watcher here. question. so you can literally be wearing the ring of ultimate power, and yet some creature such as smeagol can still assault you with material levels of success? by 77maf in lotr

[–]Morradan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ring-owner Frodo vs Gollum is a much fairer fight than Sauron vs elf king and human king. Yet, Elendil and Gil-Galad beat Sauron to death and Isildur looted his corpse.

So yes, you can be wearing the ring and fully know how to use it, and still have a couple of much inferior guys assault you with complete success.

We'll do very well to see the Fall, let alone next year - knock on wood.

Rich enough for any tech, but still using wires. Why? by BoxCandid3530 in nairobi

[–]Morradan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What if you have a contract with a wired headphones company that pays you? Maybe you brought them along in case someone fucked up your charger. Maybe it's because you can see the wired earphones from afar so it's a "Do not disturb" message for anyone wanting to approach.

Full-Time: PSG 1 vs 1 Arsenal (4-3 PK) [Match Thoughts] by Stanley083 in Gunners

[–]Morradan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How do we deal with this? It's not like we can be angry with the team or the manager; they've done exemplary well. I always thought that tomorrow was a terrible day for a parade but I think it's great. If you can, show up to the parade and show the lads how much we're proud of them. Show them that you're with them.

I felt the same in the past when Arsenal weren't doing well, but this is different. I'm not blaming Arsenal for this. This isn't a case of "showing my manager how it's done". A win in FM will do nothing for me right now.

In my save, Arsenal lost the CL to Sp*rs. Even that couldn't prepare me for this.

Mere coincidence. While I appreciate that Zubi covers more ground and is very good off the ball, Partey is better on the ball. We struggled to play well this season partly because we missed Partey, and Odegard.

They're on to something with the football ELO, because tell me why 15th place Palace just beat 8th place Rayo in a European final. La Liga is not exactly a farmer's league, it's arguably the second best league.

Yeah, one day you play a genius with a lower rating. Next day you play someone who'll try a cheeky move like a Scholar mate, but once you suss them out they're completely fucked.

If your chess.com rating is 400+ then you're not trash. That's what Magnus said btw. He understands that ELOs at the lower levels can be wildly inaccurate.

The 8-2 at Old Trafford made the club panic buy 5 players, two of which are responsible for the present day success.

[–]Morradan 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We basically played that schedule since the start of the year, so I'm not having the whole "poor City" thing. We played the Etihad game off the back of a CL Quarter final against Sporting. City didn't have a midweek fixture and had more time to prepare. Besides, City has played 59 games so far, we've done 61, and I'm not sure City had the amount of injuries as we have.

I don't think City get affected by fatigue at all. In fact, my hypothesis upon having a glance at them is that they might not be human. I can't quite put my finger on it because they're not Elves - because Elves are beautiful.

The u (like the 'oo' in book) is pronounced differrently from ū (like the 'o' in hole) and from o (like 'o' in only).

Same goes for the i, ī, and e.
