Ooh a double reference, fancy!

I can imagine it might be a tad difficult to produce processors on a nanometer scale if the entire building is shaking violently.

Presumably

Absolutely, but calling it a reference implies that it was intentional by the writer, which seems unlikely considering what he’s said about such things.

Not everything needs to have deep/real-world meaning. As i recall, Tolkien really didn’t like people ascribing such things to his writing. They’re just stories and should be treated as such.

Idk man, have you done the math on whether the universe expands yourself? Because i haven’t. I simply believe that the scientists who have aren’t lying to me, same as I believe that Jupiter is in fact a giant sphere of gas, because that’s what I’ve been told.

No one can verify all of science, so we must all trust that those who came before us got things right (unless we discover that they didn’t ofc).

Therefore, i believe in science.

Iirc, the problem with desalination is that it doesn’t actually produce salt, just a very salty water slurry. So for them to produce usable salt they’d have to dry it out or something. Not that that sounds like it would be particularly difficult, but it’s an extra step.

I feel like 80% of men weigh above that lol

Bluesky is the same, i essentially only use the “latest from follows” tab, which is just posts from people you follow in chronological order. So much better than whatever garbage the big ones tried to feed me until i quit.

Had me in the first half, not gonna lie

That’s a fair point, i can absolutely see Gandalf the Grey justifying with something like “there is more evil in this world than just Sauron”.

Damn, that camera must have a fast shutter speed then

Wait a moment, there are 7 cats… ⚆ _ ⚆

Just not in any other ways, like it going against essentially his entire character and the ring not allowing it, among others.

Gandalf wouldn’t even still be there, since he was only there to aid in the fight against Sauron. He’d have gone off to Valinor shortly after Sauron’s defeat, together with the rest of the elves. And there’d be no Aragorn to be a good pal and extend the good lifespans of the realms of Men, so Gondor would never get a new king and the realms of Men would likely fall to evil a bit into the third age.

Rules are rules ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

LoL is not a company, the creator and owner of it is Riot Games.

Source: my experiences. How would i possibly find sources for comments i read a year ago on an instance i have blocked? If you don’t believe me, that’s fine.

i doubt they’d have time to drown tbh, at depth a small leak is likely to cause immediate and sudden implosion, instantly crushing anyone inside. not sure how that would play out in a larger non-circular space though like rapture.
