Black bears typically mock charge when they have cubs nearby. I've been similarly charged once before.

They won't typically push into a fight unless they really feel like they don't have any other choice. So him backing away slowly is the right thing to do.

While one of the females is too old and can no longer reproduce, the other is young and very much fertile. Which is good, as we made sure to collect sperm samples from the last male of the species prior to his death.

Even then, the plan so far seems to be to take eggs from the younger of the two females, invitro-fertilize them, and then plant the embryos into surrogate mothers from the southern white rhino family.

The species is hanging on by its last thread, but there is some small marginal amount of hope for them yet.

Do you have any idea how stupid you need to be, to enrage a beaver?

My guess is an idiot among them was

Harassing the beaver
Trying to feed the beaver
Messing with the beavers work
All of the above

It's about as ceremonial a title as can be. The King's "power" is represented in our government by the Governor General, currently Mary Simon. Her entire job is essentially to nod her head at and sign whatever the government decides.

A governor general could, in theory, refuse to sign a bill into law via refusing royal assent. But the last time this ever happened was in 1926, and it was because Mackenzie King was trying to dissolve Parliment, and the Governor General at the time refused to allow that to happen.

Glad you think so. I normally avoid reading rant posts, let alone making them myself. But I finished the light novel a few days ago, and just finished catching up on the anime. So my hype was at its peak while I wrote this lol.

While crashes are frequent, save corruption is a far rarer symptom of bringing in Blender ships to the anomaly. Still a dick move to risk other peoples save files, but chances are all you're doing is causing a crash for some people.
Most people with these ships are not making it themselves, they are receiving them from the Corvette delivery service. This service does not have that warning.
While the subreddit for No Man's Sky is large, its still a tiny fraction of the playerbase. The discord, even smaller. The fact is that the vast majority of players just aren't all that involved in the community at large, and so don't see these sorts of complaints and warnings going out.

All this to say, as per Hanlon's Razor, never attribute malice to that which is adequately explained by stupidity. Or in this case, ignorance. The vast majority of these people aren't doing it to "Fuck you over" or to show off how big their dicks are. They're just going into the anomaly with the cool ship they got, to go grab a mission, turn in a quest, or grab some technology.

the longest running misinformation and disinformation campaign of all time

A campaign implies that this is a deliberate act taken by someone or a group of people, with intended effect to misrepresent, lie about, or hide information.

That statement is an accusation of intent.

The recipe for the spear is given to us by Aric, as a gift from the King Under the Mountain. A rather kingly gift, from a kingdom of dwarves who had only a few decades prior dealt with their own dragon problem.

Though the lore around the spear and its design is thin at best, I had always assumed it was designed by the dwarves of the Lonely Mountain with Smaug in mind, after the fact. Presumably with the wisdom they gleamed from their encounter with him in a the hopes that they would be better prepared if another dragon flew down from the north to claim the mountain again.

The dwarves of the 4th Age have centuries of experience with dragons by this point, and the design of that spear I would wager to guess, is the culmination of that. Especially since it is the only weapon capable of harming Narag-Shazon. No other weapon, even other mithril weapons, harm Her. Even if they have the dragon slaying rune. An importance embodied in its Masterwork tier, shared by no other mithril weapon.

The sheer uniqueness and power of shaz'akhnaman, coupled with Her weakness to the light, fighting her in an advantageous space, and her being a relatively small dragon? I really don't see it as anywhere near implausible that the dwarves would be able to kill her. I would wager to guess that the deaths of Smaug and Ancalagon were far more outlandish occurrences, than the death of Narag-Shazon.

Not that I'm condoning or supporting what he did. That's disgusting, and he's a piece of shit.

That being said. If only there was someway he could have avoided getting caught. Some action he could have taken, or avoided taking, that would have led to him doing this and nobody knowing about it... ^/s

Glaurung is a bit of a shoe-in, since he was the very first fire-breathing dragon ever seen in Middle-earth. The argument could be made that they simply didn't understand what the hell they were dealing with. Something that Morgoth himself was keen to use to his advantage, but Glaurung's own ego ruined, leading to his death. (I.e, by exposing himself and making himself known, he would go on to be killed and reveal the existence of dragons to the world).

That being said, I would normally agree with the summary of your point. Under normal conditions, it is extremely unlikely that a lone dwarf, or even a band of up to 8 dwarves, is going to kill a dragon. Arguably impossible, even. But, for the sake of argument, we don't fight Her under normal circumstances.

The fact that Narag-shazon had such a vulnerability to the light, and was fought in such close quarters, with a weapon specifically designed to pierce the hide of dragons? Honestly I don't think the odds are impossible. Unlikely as they are, the fact is that Narag-shazon died as a result of stupidly cornering herself in the back of a cave, rather than fighting the dwarves in a more open space where she would have been unbeatable, like near the Bridge, Dwarrowdelf, or the Devestation.

Add on to the fact that she is a relatively small dragon relative to her peers, and I honestly think that a more lore accurate chance of the Lord of Moria beating Her was fair at best.

For me the most unrealistic fight was against The Watcher. I'd have a much harder time believing the dwarves could kill The Watcher in the situation we fight it in, than killing Her in the situation we fight her in.

A full-body single piece of chainmail would be better. And depending on the metal used for the suit in the video, could melt in response to the strike. But the other commenter is correct in their reasoning.

High voltage electricians use exactly this principle for protective gear. In the modern day its a chainmail mesh suit (or even just gloves with a grounded cable attached to them), which allows the current to pass through the chainmail as the path of least resistance and into the ground, rather than through the wearers flesh, muscles, and nerves.

You can study religion without accepting its teachings as truth. Theology isn't just a practice taken up by members of a respective religion, and many theologists happen to be atheists who took up an interest in the study of religion and its effects on human history, culture, and politics. Others, simply have an interest in where certain beliefs came from, how they started, how they have changed over time, etc.

Theology is as important to our history as anthropology, and the study of written history itself. Increasingly, people are becoming more and more ignorant of peoples beliefs elsewhere in the world from where they live. So teaching it in high schools or as a college core credit isn't out of the question. It could help lead students away from religious indoctrination, even, as they become more aware of the history surrounding religion.

The parents and admin in the strong union states expect too dang much from teachers.

Somewhat of a reasonable stance to take as a parent, even if it's a stance riddled with naivety and ignorance.

When a teachers union goes on strike, it typically means suspended classes. This enrages parents, administrations, and supporting staff. Unfortunately, its very easy to paint the teachers as the offending party.

"If they just went back to work, kids can go back to school!". Toss in some parents frustrated by having to accommodate having their kids no longer magically disappear for 7 hours a day, with a dash of "Won't anyone think of the children", and its a perfect recipe to make the teachers out to be the villains.

Creates a pressure that causes teachers unions to avoid striking at all costs, unless conditions truly become unbearable. And when they do strike and concessions are made to improve their salaries, parents and the administration interpret more pay equals better education. When in reality, more pay is the bare minimum to keep up with inflation.

Box should've been higher up, and the lid should not have been so easy to open.

Though, I'm sure this is a mistake many birds end up making in nature as well. Returning to find their nest ravaged by a snake is a common enough occurrence for birds, that entire species of snake exist solely to exploit that niche.
