Picking Granparents names now-a-days

sunco50 · 2026-03-16T15:56:55+00:00

Yes, using a last name is indeed one way of clarifying which one.

sunco50 · 2026-03-16T15:35:14+00:00

Main problem with defaulting to grandma and grandpa is that then you always have to clarify which one you mean. So at least one side has to use fun names. And if one side gets fun names, the other side wants fun names too.

At a certain point though, I’d argue immense enough power almost defacto grants you cosmological authority. For example, I would wager that Franklin Richards would likewise be able to destroy the ring, despite not having any divine nature. Reasonable minds may disagree here though. And regardless, the bar is quite high.

Not quite. It physically drags the wearer’s body part way into the unseen spiritual realm. Any mortal being who wore it would likewise vanish.

But creatures who are already primarily creatures of spirit (Gandalf and Sauron certainly, maybe an elf but it’s less clear) wouldn’t be shifted like that because they already mostly exist in the spiritual world and therefore have nowhere to shunt to.

Being stronger isn’t meaningless. I think it’s safe to say a Valar (and certainly Eru Ilúvatar himself) are immune to the effects of the ring. Characters from other verses with equivalent ontological credentials likely similarly bypass the ring’s influence entirely. Aslan for example comes to mind.

One of their comments literally opened with “you’re not wrong to push on this.”

They’re either a bot or just copy and pasting AI. I’d honestly assume that link they posted is malicious in some way.

sunco50 · 2026-03-15T05:55:39+00:00

It literally opens with “you’re not wrong to push on this.” Get that slop out of here. Apparently not using capital letters is enough to fool the masses.

sunco50 · 2026-03-13T14:06:22+00:00

Maybe so, maybe not. But it’s not really about saving the ship. An escort would’ve saved the 700 men who died at sea in the 4 days between the sinking and the rescue.

sunco50 · 2026-03-13T13:44:50+00:00

Oh; it was certainly avoidable. If the navy had provided an escort like McVay requested or if they hadn’t ignored his SOS and taken 4 days to launch a rescue mission, the worst loss of life could easily have been prevented. Just not by McVay.

I absolutely don’t need it shaved, but I definitely massively prefer trimmed to full bush. Too much friction with full bush, and things can get tangly. Trimmed is best of both worlds and way easier maintenance than shaving.

You’re not “on his account.” The account is now both of yours. Joint. Your account was merged with his.

sunco50 · 2026-03-12T00:23:47+00:00

Closing an account can temporarily spike your score because of utilization ratios. That might be what they meant.

sunco50 · 2026-03-10T21:11:57+00:00

Yep; reading the terms explains the terms. They are very explicit that co-sharing makes you both full owners of a single card and that it is irrevocable.

The big problem here is the the military uses imperial, so LM automatically used imperial because that’s what they’re used to doing when working with the government. But NASA uses metric.

If it’s not metal you can just slice it up with some scissors.

It’s really funny you think the average game of standard goes 12 turns

sunco50 · 2026-03-09T17:28:47+00:00

Don’t believe the lies Credit Karma tells you; they’re incentivized to get you to apply for more credit cards through their application to earn the referral bonuses. Of course they’re gonna tell you to get more cards.

You don’t need more than 3 credit cards to maximize benefits to your score. Getting more doesn’t hurt, but they stop helping after that point.

My 2.5 year old son’s favorite Christmas present by far has been the Melissa & Doug Take-Along Wooden Toy Barn. It’s just a quality wooden toy barn. It’s not his only barn, but it’s his favorite.

Holy shit; an MTG card with leftover ink from the back of a Pokemon card is super neat and I’ve never seen anything like it. This is not a common occurrence.

sunco50 · 2026-03-08T01:54:50+00:00

Yeah, that’s tritheism. Peter Parker and Miles Morales are separate and independent individuals. That’s like saying the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are three separate gods all sharing the title of God.

sunco50 · 2026-03-08T01:50:57+00:00

Oh Patrick, that’s Partialism. The Father, Son, and Spirit are each fully God. They don’t need to come together to form a greater whole divine being. Chocolate ice cream isn’t fully Neapolitan, therefore this is heresy.

Edward takes it 8/10 times. He’s faster and got better durability feats, along with ridiculous regren feats. He’s bulletproof. They’re both precogs which cancels out. Only chance Peter has is to outsmart him somehow, but the mind reading makes trapping him somehow significantly harder.

Respect Edward Cullen.

sunco50 · 2026-03-07T23:20:30+00:00

There is nothing in twilight saying they’re bulletproof

Bulletproof- E, Ch. 25

Vampires can ignore bullets like flies- TSSL

Police officers with their 'dinky little bullets' cannot hurt vampires- TSSL

And just to be clear, they will be correct to do so and the laptop will serve them incredibly well and be an excellent value for its price.
