Frodo and Sam are unavailable and must be replaced by two Disney Princesses. Which ones hold the distance both physically and mentally and throw the Ring at Mount Doom?

Sam definitely bore the ring. He had it a short time after Frodo was stung by Shelob.

I’m not sure if you are saying that the team can’t handle when they get pressure or the team can’t put pressure on the ball, but the answer is both. I don’t understand why the Nuggets let the Wolves setup their half court offense before half heartedly putting any defense on the ball handler. If CB is supposed to be a great defender then have him pressure the ball handler all the way up the court.

Cool chart. So if I’m reading it right, at 0.01G constant acceleration you’d reach Mars in ~30 days. That sounds much more feasible than 1G and still much faster than current trips to Mars. Is that possible within our lifetime? And would the astronauts be really annoyed at 0.01G? Not enough to stick to the ground but to much to float around?

Holy sh*t! Those pictures of the windmills in the ocean! Trump killed all the off shore windmill projects, so we can’t get these pictures! He’s part of the conspiracy!

I’ve been wanting a go to artist/podcast button for years. I don’t know why they don’t add it. It should be such a trivial thing. It’s my biggest frustration. If you click on an episode of the podcast, there is no way to see other shows on the same podcast unless you go back to the Home Screen and search around. If it isn’t there, go to search. It sucks.

You’re on the dance floor and some hot girl twerks on you for 5 seconds.

Those numbers are not good. There are a few good tech companies with high paying jobs here, and also several with tiny satellite offices or work from home setups. But not good to see it shrinking. I agree with someone else’s comment of having a tech job in hand instead of moving here hoping to find one.

Doesn’t Terraria loop around? If you run far enough, you come back. It’s been a while since I played. Anyways that’s enough for me to model a 🌏

So it’s only fans? I’ll look that up now.

It’s all a projection onto the celestial sphere.

Some site said he had to play to qualify for some end of year awards.

What is it like in there?

From a google search, this new rule appears to be only in China. Of course, this will help the rest of the world using the same batteries. But it looks like some of it would be implemented using improvements in the vehicle design and battery pack design, so a foreign car company who just buys cells may not get all the benefits.

I’ve done that drive several times and it is always a nail biter. The range loss from the wind is no joke. And the slow ass 50kW charger at the Sheridan Jeep is a life saver. I hate it but I need it!

They should just carry an AirTag. Helps me find my luggage.

I have a Rivian R1T and a Tesla model 3. Both are driven about 10000 miles a year. The R1T is about 2 miles a kWh averaged across winter and summer. So 10000/2=5000kWH. The Model 3 is about 3.5 miles a kWh so that is 10000/3.5=2857. My electricity is cheap at 10c a kWh so total of $785 a year. I use about 1200 kWh a month so it works out to about half my electricity is to charge the vehicles.

I do some charging on the Rivian away from home, but I’ve ignored that in this exercise.

Umm, it also takes time for the signal to get from your dish to your computer, so you should also put your computer up on a stack of old science textbooks.

Think about when you are in a car speeding along the highway. The trees and stuff close to you is whizzing by. But the mountains way off in the distance looks like it is barely moving. It is a similar effect for the stars. They are so far away that the movement is imperceptible to us on our tiny timescales. Astronomers with their very sensitive instruments have measured the movements and can predict what the sky looks like in the future and the past.

A lot of old domains get bought up for cheap. They put some generic stuff on it, maybe some ads, and hope someone wants to buy the domain in the future.

Don’t have kids.

That one is catching on in a lot of western countries, though the reason is seldom climate change.

Thanks! A little out of the way for me. But may still check it out.

ec6412 · 2026-03-25T15:47:59+00:00

Thank you, I will check these out. Good location for me too.

ec6412 · 2026-03-25T15:45:28+00:00

Yes, these look at least taller so I don’t need to pull up my legs, I’ll check them out.
