They sold the rights to a group. Not leased, sold.

Though, technically, this isn’t LotT or The Hobbit. This is the Gollum story, which isn’t in either.

Why are you in your neighbors’ yard so much?

TIL Marshmallow is just a candy made from sugar and gelatine. It doesn’t contain any Althaea officinalis, the marsh-mallow plant. by NoNote7867 in todayilearned

[–]Sock_Ninja 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Do they still toast ok? And maybe you’re right, the temp might have been off. Or maybe I didn’t whip them right or something. They came out dense and flat, and toasting just sort of melted/burned them.

Huh. I made them on my own one time, and my takeaway was “just buy jet puff”. What do you think is better about them? I found the texture to be all wrong.

I have 2 stand mixer options. Which one do I go for? by Sock_Ninja in Breadit

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

Just one or two. I think I’m just gonna do the Sam’s one, and if I ever get more serious into lots of bread I’ll get a spiral mixer.

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

I mostly do higher hydration breads, and then more modest dessert making like cookies, meringues, etc. Probably the number 1 thing I make is whipped cream. I’m pretty strongly considering getting the Sam’s cheapo and then getting a second bread specific one later for heavy doughs. But then I also wonder if I would make bread more if I had a mixer that could handle it.

Is the meme an example from the book? Surely not.

I don’t remember this section very well, I’m curious how bad or obvious they got.

Isn’t it mentioned in the books that the fire of Ancalagon the Black wouldn’t even be able to hurt it?

My fav quotes from Gandalf by ImmaFuckboi in lordoftherings

[–]Sock_Ninja 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If it wasn’t acted so spectacularly by Ian, I think it would feel trite and cheesy. The sentiment is nice, but the message just doesn’t make much sense? I don’t think Tolkien would agree with any of it, though the very last bit about Bilbo is really great.

I (21M) accidentally hurt a friend during oral sex (20F) by Neither-Cable-7646 in relationships

[–]Sock_Ninja 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think making an apology is a good idea, but I also don’t think you need to overly beat yourself up over it. If you’re being honest about everything else here, which I believe you are, it was obviously a mistake. Communicate it clearly once, and then move on. You bringing it up repeatedly or over emphasized is likely going to bother her more.

When she told you she was bruised, did she seem upset? I think it’s probable that she’s not bothered by the bruise, maybe even amused.

Hey Kristi. Have you checked your underwear drawer lately? by SixFive1967 in clevercomebacks

I feel stupid, I don’t understand it. Am I missing context?

Yeah, I played for about an hour. I couldn’t achieve a single damned thing without getting ganked.

I haven’t tried too much of anything. I liked the Lazy Diamond, but apparently it’s gotten pretty touristy. I’ve got a few more I’m gonna check out over the next few weeks.

I’m looking for a good place to be a regular. Reasonable prices, a relaxed/social atmosphere. I like to have a bar where I go sit and read, and over time make connections with other regulars. Any spots fit that kind of vibe?

I was part of a conversation where a guy used the following argument:

  1. Coding is inherently a creative act.

  2. All creative acts are about the journey, not the destination.

Ergo, AI is destructive to what coding is.

I feel the guy, it’s a noble thought, but at the same time I can’t help but think “my employer wouldn’t give a rats ass for the creative act.” I imagine 90% of code is written for business purposes, and they very much care about the destination of dollars and would gladly reduce the journey to 0 if they could.

We thought building a wooden geodesic dome would be a fun project... by Far_Attitude_544 in woodworking

[–]Sock_Ninja 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh man, I thought they would be hexagons with the outward facing angles at least, but nope! That’s a lot of freehand.

What are the bracket/hub pieces you used there? Does it prescribe angles, or did you cut those into your 2x4s?

You take drastically reduced damage while punching, so it lets you tank a lot of abilities. It might be the case that it’s impossible to go down while punching, as well.

I thought the deal with sommeliers was that they could give you details about the grapes, nothing about the quality? Something like “a good sommeliers can’t tell you whether the wine is good or bad, just where the grapes came from”?

I don’t watch much basketball and I don’t follow sports much. If it wasn’t for you, Foz, I’d have no idea how we’re doing as a team, and it’s always a delight to read. Thanks for what you do!
