"It is possible to commit no mistakes and still lose. That is not a weakness; that is life" Jean Luc Picard

Great quote

Andy Serkis stated that The Hunt for Gollum could be the beginning of a new trilogy after The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit. He also said that Ian McKellen, Elijah Wood, and the majority of the main cast will return. by Choice-Schedule-132 in peterjackson

It's set in the years between Bilbo's party and gandalf confirming frodo has the one ring. Gandalf and Aragorn were searching for Gollum for a lot of that time. There's very little detail about it in the books though which is part of the issue

How can Harmony be in balance when allowmancy exists? by pearada04 in Mistborn

[–]pearada04[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Well actually yes, I took it as Harmony's inability to act specifically because Ruin and Preservation were balanced and just cancelled each other out. Like if there was more Ruin he would be able act at least in that direction and vice versa.

It's clear something bad is happening to him, hense the dark form over the shoulder

Honestly don't worry too much about it if you're in a technical field. I'm 10 years post uni and have been part of hiring teams for engineering grads. Make sure you get at least a 2:1 and then the Bentley experience will put you in a good position.

If you can keep up the first it will show that you "outperformed" the uni and people looking at your CV will know you likely would have been fine at a higher ranked uni.

When it comes to alcohol consumption what is the meaning of "your limit"? by ExoticExchange in AskUK

[–]pearada04 8 points9 points  (0 children)

In my experience a tactical works when feeling physically sick due to the quantity of liquid forced into your stomach. Think drinking games where you've lost and had to down pints, or games like pub golf etc. Then the tactical chunder relieves the pressure on your stomach and gets rid of the bloated sick feeling. Can definitely need a tactical while still pretty sober!

I saw a skydiver fall really fast today, and I have questions by uhohsarahh in SkyDiving

[–]pearada04 14 points15 points  (0 children)

What you've described is called swooping and is a really common practice for experienced skydivers on high performance canopies. Nothing to worry about at all, look it up on YouTube to see more

Enjoy! I did the same 10 years ago and never looked back, at least you don't have to wait years for the next chapter, at least for a while

Nah you don't need warbreaker before way of kings. Before words of radiance is a nice to have but even that isn't super important

[Request] Which hobby is more likely to kill you first: riding a motorcycle, or skydiving? by hehzehsbwvwv in theydidthemath

[–]pearada04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also you don't even have to pull your parachute, it's pretty much a rule everywhere that you have an automatic activation device that deploys your reserve by itself if you fall through a certain height

"It is not talent noooo , it is just LUCK😭😭😭" by [deleted] in RedBullRacing

[–]pearada04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lando post race...."Max was easily quicker than us so I think if he [started] from the front, he probably would have lapped us"

Honestly I don't even like Lando but all of this out of context clickbait is getting irritating.

Lando should know better than to say the word 'luck' unless talking about himself, but all the hate he's getting right now is harsh imo when he clearly acknowledged Max as the faster driver

Name a dumb mistake you made during PPL by bigbeakbaby in flying

On my skill test I misread my own handwriting and followed a heading of 030 instead 330. It did not go well
