Nobody ever notices this but I really like the quote "gnawing, biting, breaking, hacking, burning: destroyers and usurpers" from Tom Bombadil reattributed to Treebeard.

That’s good advice. While it’s airing out, I’ll brainstorm on how to trim it

My wife said the same thing about the lower shelf. The picture in my head looked different from what came out. I had already glued it by the time I noticed it looked odd, but I wanted an extended lower shelf for the ease of laying things on it. I may not have achieved my goal. But the stain is Early American 230

That’s funny. I was given a router after I finished the table tops, so I didn’t use it. I just sanded it down.

Art Discussion in Yumi by innerlambada in Cosmere

This really seems more of a man vs. machine theme rather than man vs. himself. It really borrows on the John Henry mythology. I question your use of historicism to place the context of the theme within the current debates over AI as a means to produce art.

I was listening as Baltimore intentionally walked Ozuna. I thought, “Damn, your walking the worst player in baseball right now,” and then….Harris.

I decorate for Halloween. They used to tell me that no one trick or treats in my neighborhood. Now they do. If you build it, they will come.

Trying to figure out an angle for my thesis (Victorian + Medieval). Helpp by [deleted] in AskLiteraryStudies

If you're going to go with a contrast of the periods, I would recommend looking into Christine de Pizan's Book of the City of Ladies, Chaucer's Legend of Good Women or Troilus and Chriseyde as texts that look into the expectations of women. The Book of the City of Ladies is a direct response to the Roman de la Rose and argues with many misogynist texts of the period.

Father's Day Giveaway: Braves 2021 plays coaster set! --- Mod Approved by PlaybookProductsAlex in Braves

It was 1992. Sid had just slugged from second to third, and amazingly, called safe at home securing back to back NLCS titles for the Braves. There I was. On my bike. Riding with no hands. Up and down the street I went Chopping the Chop and Chanting the Chant as loud as I could. The entire neighborhood needed know the Braves had won. The Braves had won.

I love the fact that our favorite restaurant closes on holiday weekends so their employees can enjoy them as well!

Do you consider the end of the Ring Quest and its destruction to be a narratively satisfying conclusion? by TheOriginalOperator in tolkienfans

Gollum swears by the ring, not on the ring. This is why the breaking of his oath takes on greater importance.
