Frodo asks The Fellowship for directions. Then he asks Gollum for directions. 

Wait till the scabs learn about Saving Private Ryan!!!!!

The masculine perspective in LotR is pretty all-encompassing, it’s true. Peter Jackson even expanded Arwen’s role considerably, and she’s barely in it. She, Galadriel, and Éowyn are the only women with any particular agency or significance (unless you count Shelob.) It’s honestly pretty glaring given the immense scope…

I don’t think the Bechdal test is the end all be all of how well women characters are represented. It's a good indicator, but not the only one. For instance, there is also the Mako Mori test, which I would say LOTR passes.

Isn’t the point that these women characters are badasses in their own rights?

Maybe now’s an opportunity to bring Alanis King back and give her the reins and see how weird this place will get? Daily Criss Angel sightings? Even worse pizza takes? I’d read.

You can always reach out to me for taillight stuff for your little girl!

Aw crap. This sucks. I’m going to lose my rust updates AND extensive tail-light knowledge and analysis. This sucks for me, but I’m happy for you guys.

For those that want to keep following these dingleberries

When my uni was renovating one of the lab buildings, rumours say they found a bunch of old chemicals behind a sealed wall for the contractors to find, also without any secondary containment. They did call the local fire department’s hazmat squad a few times during their renovations.

When I was in grad school, one professor I worked with was doing a project related to explosives detection. Someone in his group handed me a heavy 8" diameter metal pipe with a screw-on cap on both ends. I opened one of the caps and found a few glass vials with crystals inside. They were labeled RDX, TNT, and…

The second was to kindly summon the bomb squad.

I once took over a chemical engineering lab that had all of the chemicals stored together, sorted alphabetically rather than by hazard classification, with no secondary containment. There was enough HF in there to dispose of a corpse, some of it mixed with organic solvents and stored in glass. The safety inspection…

I gather it’s possible but you’d need to pay a proper machine shop to do it. You’re not going to just hold the frame in place by hand. It needs to be set up in a very rigid jig.
