@SandyofCthulhu I've always thought eagle #3 was for Smeagol. Gandalf is LITERALLY an angel, hope is part of his soul. How could he not hope that Smeagol was alive?
There were 3 eagles in the book, though The Professor never says why.
Guess its a good excuse for us nerds to argue on the net?

A sad fact Tolkien included that not everyone picked up on. (I know I didn't at first.) After Mount Doom erupts, Gandalf sent THREE eagles to rescue the hobbits.
He sent one for Smeagol.

Interesting point someone made to me recently:
This social contagion occurred shortly after a group of researchers invented plastic straws that could detect date rape drugs in drinks.
With the plastic straw ban, they no longer could be used.
And the 'big news stories' that led to the ban (yes, based on bad math by a 9 yo) came out A WEEK AFTER THE ANNOUNCEMENT.
Coincidence?
Billy Binion@billybinion
This seems like a good time to remind people that the panic over plastic straws was largely set in motion after the media reported a few years ago that Americans were using 500 million plastic straws a day. That figure was taken from research done by…a 9-year-old boy.

@ShitpostGate Sure would be a shame is someone figured out where this is, so that POS "waiter" could get the tip they deserve

@reddit_lies Maybe grandpa was Canadian?
After all, isn't their military's motto "Its never a war crime the first time."

Wait... wasn't the bombing of Dresden a borderline war crime because it almost exclusively targeted civilians?

@DaveXDavieau I love Raistlin, in the sense that he's an AMAZINGLY deep & nuanced character. He bullies Caramon, belittles everyone else, & is the anti-hero of the trilogy but saves it all in the end.
Still, he doesn't go FULL evil til the Twins Trilogy.
Awesome character, full on dickhead.

A lot of #Dragonlance people love this guy & it's true that without him the war of the lance is lost. I personally don't like him, he's a jerk, but that's just one man's opinion. I still wouldn't change one iota of the story.
If he isn't there to dispel Araikas's shield, if he isn't there to help Berem reach the stone.... All Ansalon, maybe all of Krynn falls to Takhisis (IMHO)

@OGCrimsonJester @Cymatics13 UGH...Middle Management. One of the worst titles, and positions ever invented.
English
@Arklytte @Cymatics13 Those professions will do it too.
Learning the hard way.
What's worse, if you become middle management in those and have to juggle it all.
Been there

@Fat_Electrician I know you know this, but it bears repeating.
Before the gubmint started stealing half our paychecks (around WWI) they literally paid for almost all gubmint services via...wait for it...tarriffs!

I’ve been told that tariffs only hurt the country that imposes them.
If that’s true, why did Canada just issue “retaliatory tariffs” against the U.S.?

@OldHollowTree Just add a note to the bottom of the label. People who buy stuff like raw honey pretty much know this already, and people who just buy it for a lark can read the label.
If you sell it at farmers markets and festivals, put a couple signs on your booth.
PS: Your bottles are DOPE!
English
Help me solve a problem.
If I sell raw honey, it has the potential to “cream” or crystallize if it gets cool. This is fine normally.
However, if I sell raw honey in these tall bottles, you can’t pour it out without warming it.
I see three options:
A) provide some kind of informational tag explaining the honey SHOULD do this and it just needs to be warmed up.
B) change the packaging to a wide mouth jar.
C) pasteurize it.
Option B seems like the best option but people like the tall jars AND they like raw honey.
What do you do here?
Old Hollow Tree@OldHollowTree
Assuming they’re the same price, would you prefer to buy raw honey or honey that has been pasteurized? Raw honey isn’t processed, offering more health benefits and a richer taste, while pasteurized honey is treated for consistency and clarity. Pics of each below.

Do you think X is a place where the 50+ crowd hangs out? How many of you guys are Boomers & Gen X’ers?
I think there might be more of us here than the Young Folk!

@MoragSievwright @Carol_Kay1234 @InformedNJNurse Sorey about your sibling. That really sucks.
My dad has about 75% hearing loss in one ear thanks to measles.😠
English
@Carol_Kay1234 @InformedNJNurse Most of us recover unscathed but one of my younger siblings has hearing defects caused by measles
English
@Carol_Kay1234 @InformedNJNurse And whooping cough! It's not bad enough I was feeling like I had the worst flu ever, but there's a 5 freakin gallon bucket at my bedside because every damn time I'd cough, I'd puke, and there was literally no time to get to the john.
English
@InformedNJNurse And while we’re at it, we also had measles and lived to tell. 😂😂
English
@InformedNJNurse Twice, in fact. Once as a young kid 4 or 5 which was very mild. The second at 17. It was SEVERE. Was out of school for a month, and sick as a dog almost the whole time.
And you bet your ass I got the Shingles vaccine
I've had 3 relatives get Shingles, and it FUCKING SUCKED!
