And you absolutely do not have to read the books to watch Foundation.

And more patience than that type of rage usually allows

Agreed. Best option for the harfoots IMO would be complete removal. Failing that, I definitely would have had Nori’s dad SUCCESSFULLY hiding the state of his leg, so that her back-of-the-line punishment could have been intended as a minor status thing, rather than what can only be seen as a collective death sentence.

Didn’t need it spelled, but I liked the tone set by the ‘reveal’, if you can call it that.  I have a minor issue with "It's not the Southlands anymore", geographically speaking.

I'm very much hoping the balrog is just a tease, and a lot more mithril gets mined, and time goes by before he 'gets active'

Could be wrong, but I think ‘land associated with evil, containing a great big volcano' was enough for the movie-only crowd.

Close. Gil Galad rules Lindon, and her and Celeborn rule a fiefdom that’s a part of it until they leave to found Eregion, which she rules for 600 years, after which their family (which includes Celebrian now) moves to Lothlorien.

And knocking a leaf through a peephole is NOT “delving too greedily and too deep”. I’m hoping the leaf was an irritation that makes him tunnel deeper, and he doesn’t rage out until full-scale mithril extraction happens for a while and becomes un-ignorable.

Normally yes, but if a kid’s talking about his probably dead mom, and mostly slaughtered town, putting your rough break up in the same category would make you a bigger asshole than Sauron.

I hadn’t considered dragon bewitchment, a little out there, but honestly not a bad explanation for him to have been MIA for so long. Personally I would have had them separated at the second kinslaying if it was deemed necessary that he not show up, but non-soap-opera excuses for them to stay apart for thousands of…

I’m certainly not denying the existence of bad actors, but it’s still very important to remember that with xxx thousand people posting online, many will be honestly describing their outlier experiences.

Some may like it, some may not. Either way I don't understand its inclusion as ‘business jargon’.

And obvious to the point of being unworthy of mention in those environments where it isn't tolerated.

Yeah, maybe I’m being too charitable, but to me it sounded like a self deprecating little jab, like if my nerdy ass got up there and said that I bet neither of them killed a single orc or something. I think she feels that the Williams sisters are widely known to be magnificent, and did not expect anyone to see this as…

I’m confused. If less than 6/15 were people of color (unless all the gender minority candidates were also PoC), why does the headline of the article say “exclusively”?

As in Broccoli ON pizza, leading it to going uneaten (hence abstinence) or broccoli INSTEAD of pizza in the ‘abstinence is the only truly safe sex’ vein? Also, ‘Sex Vein’ is now my favorite name for an imaginary bad-but-good grunge rock band.

Respectfully disagree. I don’t have a particular bone to pick with the Ukrainian government, and certainly recognize Russia as the aggressor here, but when a country in a desparate war with a heinous power, it becomes dangerously easy to let necessity speak louder than ethics. I think it’s very important that people…

It’s cringe, but I didn’t have a huge problem with the Biden/AOC bits. They didn’t really feel like a threat or incitement to me. Depicting migrants as a ravening horde however was reprehensible.

Yeah, I’m inclined to applaud hiring ex-cons, including sex offenders, assuming there will be STRICT monitoring of the latter, with preferably no interaction and certainly no unsupervised interaction with anyone that fits their victim profile.  Staggering that this was allowed to happen.

Yea and no. In British usage, wheat,  barley, oats and maize are all 'corns'
