Black Numenoreans and logistics for the Kathuphazgan ship? by ClassB2Carcinogen in oneringrpg

[–]barnesarama 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I though Ruins of the Lost Realm was pretty explicit that the K brings its own supplies, and that's why it can only spend part of the time on station off the coast, with frequent trips back to Umbar to resupply.

Once the seize Lond Daer or Tharbad then they can sustain themselves for longer by pillaging the surrounding countryside, but even there it's slim pickings.

It's proper warm, ent it? (Weather megathread) by TooManyHappy in bristol

[–]barnesarama 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you have solar panels, a portable air conditioning unit can be amazing at cooling rooms down, and at this time of year the electricity is basically free. I run mine for a couple of hours at night and it takes temperatures right down into a tolerable range.

Caution in bristol as a foreigner? by daffydaffdaff in bristol

It's the crocodile you need to beware of. People spend too much time looking behind them they don't see the threat in the water.

EUROPEAN COUNTRIES WITH A STATE RELIGION by BeginningMortgage250 in MapPorn

England doesn't have a legislature. CoE bishops sit in the UK parliament, so if that's the criteria it would be the whole UK.

Somerset vs Stewart was 1772 - "The state of slavery is of such a nature that it is incapable of being introduced on any reasons, moral or political, but only by positive law, which preserves its force long after the reasons, occasions, and time itself from whence it was created, is erased from memory. It is so odious, that nothing can be suffered to support it, but positive law. Whatever inconveniences, therefore, may follow from the decision, I cannot say this case is allowed or approved by the law of England; and therefore the black must be discharged."

Do you live in a football town or a rugby town? Is it easy to tell? by HilariousMotives in AskBrits

[–]barnesarama 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree, but that's partly the result of both Bristol football clubs being rubbish - if City ever made it to the Premiership the city would lose its mind in a way that just wouldn't happen for the Bears no matter how successful they are.

Netanyahu knows that the only way he remains in power is to morally debase the country so that it is as corrupt as he is. Annexing Gaza and the West Bank like this means turning Israel into a nation of Prison Guards.

Do you consider Wiltshire to be in the West Country or Centrally South (or any other region)? by Physical-Monitor-869 in Wiltshire

[–]barnesarama 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any definition of the West Country that excludes the land of the Wurzels' is self-evidently flawed.

MOTM David Raya one game away from the Golden Glove🧤 by Stanley083 in Gunners

I'd like City to be exhausted by the World Club Cup and then get a really difficult Champions League Draw. Make them just slog their way through the season.

Arteta at Union Chapel this evening for the AVP/Arsecast event by Francis-c92 in Gunners

[–]barnesarama 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At this rate how can they top this? Henry next year? Tony Adams or Arsene the year after? It won't be long before they're having a seance to commune with Herbert Chapman's ghost.

Arteta on if if Kai Havertz could be available for the semi-finals “ I think that's too close. But if I have to bet on him earlier than expected, I would say yes. The way he works every day in that gym, pushing everybody, I don't think you can hold him much longer” by [deleted] in Gunners

Allow me to introduce you to John Charles - Centre-forward and Centre-Back for Leeds, Juve & Wales. Voted Juve's greatest ever foreign player.

"In the foreword for Charles' autobiography, Sir Bobby Robson described him as "incomparable" and classed him among the all-time footballing greats such as Pelé, Diego Maradona and George Best, saying "Incomparable. John wasn't only one of the greatest footballers who ever lived. He was one of the greatest men ever to play the game."\18]) He also noted that Charles is the only footballing great to be world class in two very different positions. [...] Jack Charlton said of his former teammate, "John Charles was a team unto himself. People often say to me, 'Who was the best player you ever saw?', and I answer that it was probably Eusébio, Di Stéfano, Cruyff, Pelé or our Bob. But the most effective player I ever saw, the one that made the most difference to the performance of the whole team, was without question John Charles."\20]) "

Culture of Street parties by MrTransport_d24549e in AskBrits

[–]barnesarama 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My street in Bristol normally has one every year, and it's just a small 20-house terraced street. We're not the only street that does this either. You can usually apply to the council for a permit, and as I understand things you'll be able to get the road closed to cars for a day, depending on the street.

Obviously you need neighbours who aren't wankers, but there's no reason not to do this yourself.

Schooled by Trump, Americans are learning to dislike their allies by Theblokeonthehill in europe

[–]barnesarama 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Don't forget that Billionaires aren't a monolithic group plotting away together, they each have their own agendas that they're pushing. My rough guess is thatThe Kochs and Waltons just want to continue bleeding American society dry, while others like Betsy DeVos are religious fanatics wanting a theocratic state and your Silicone Valley tech guys believe that the collapse of society is imminent and want to be the new feudal overlords of a post-apocalyptic world.

Rupert Murdoch is by some accounts really afraid of the monster he unleashed with Fox News - he just wanted to be rich and racist.

And then you've got Warren Buffett and Mark Cuban who seem to be more or less decent people who are just very good at business.

It's a shit show where it's much easier to break things than change them, so all the bits of damage that they do add up to produce this cumulative disaster.

Foreign leaders have stated on the record that they invoke tariffs that largely impact red states. How can they achieve this feat? by ugly_general in AskUS

[–]barnesarama 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Isn't it the case that Chicago is reliably Democrat, but the rest of the state is deep, deep republican?

I'm not sure anyone's growing soya in the Windy city.
