The Valar had fought a much earlier, much more cataclysmic war with Melkor in Middle-earth called the First War with Melkor, and there was also the War of the Powers during the Years of the Trees.
And the Eagles joined the Battle of the Black Gate before the Ring was destroyed. It was only a matter of minutes, but it still happened earlier.
How many hands do you have?
If you put that book in a kindergarten library, I can guarantee none of the kids will read it.
The only two reasons not to have it are 1) budget and 2) space. Use the room and money for books the kids will read.
I’ve worked in school libraries.
The funny thing is that kids will only read things that are of interest to them, and if they’re interested in it, they’re old enough to read it. If they borrow it because they like the cover or all their friends have apparently read it or some such reason, you can be assured it’ll be returned after they get through the first page.
In Australia the coal and gas industries appear to be pushing nuclear quite hard, mainly because they distract from the renewable options preferred by the market. They know that while we’re arguing over literally every other power source, they can just keep burning holes in the ground.
The best thing about his presidency was his total incompetence in getting what he wanted. Imagine what would happen if Steve Bannon or Steven Miller were more than just the puppetmasters…
Those people were already voting for him. No one is saying, ‘Oh no, they just found a criminal guilty of a crime! That’s not the American way!’
Well, a few billionaires and their SCOTUS lackeys might, but we’ll see.
Why? There aren’t too many undecided voters who will suddenly decide, ‘Hey, he’s definitely a criminal, so I might just give him my vote.’
And anyone who doesn’t think he’s guilty was already going to vote for him anyway.
Except for the anti-Semites, who make up a decent chunk of his active base. Or are they also pro-Israel?
Can anyone explain to me how the Nazis and pro-Israel crowds seem to be so friendly at the moment? It’s almost like this has nothing to do with Israel.
What happened when Trump’s lawyers brought that up in cross examination?
I’m not sure I completely agree with the number-line-only approach, but I’m definitely sympathetic to it. It reinforces the idea that fractions are numbers like any other numbers, and not pieces of pizza.
Damn, she must have crumbled when Trump’s lawyers brought that up when cross-examining her. As far as the jury is concerned, that would be game over for the prosecution.
Trump’s lawyers did bring that up, didn’t they?
Oh, bullshit. Men were happy to commit all sorts of atrocities (more so, in fact) when society only had room for men. If men don’t like the fact they can no longer legally rape their wives, or use, ‘But she burnt my dinner!’ as a reasonable excuse for breaking a woman’s bones, or use , ‘Look at the way she was dressed!’ as an excuse for rape, that’s just tough.
There’s no room for that in our society anymore, and if that sounds like a bad thing, leave.
Isn’t that how the open-source community operates?
‘It looks like you’re writing a letter. Would you like a tentacle with that?’
The Appellate Court likes to see that judges gradually escalate through the options, not just go straight for the harshest one available. It’s likely Marchan (and the prosecution) want to make this case as appeal-proof as possible.
We had Human Lego Man—a guy had a Lego Man costume and would just walk around waving at people.
We also have a roller blader with fairy wings who cruises up and down the Main Street, apparently flying. It was great when she had a baby, because she’d do the whole thing while pushing a pram.
Gotta say, every time I go out and look at the moon I can’t help but wonder what would happen if it somehow exploded. Then I find myself wondering why I’m not in an asteroid-mining ship and end up questioning all my life choices.
Technically, the light side of the moon is the one that is facing the sun. You know, where the light is.
Well, the Elves did hunt the Dwarves before they realised they too were Children of Iluvatar.
