The Office.

I throw it on in the background constantly.

These updates seem to never really make a difference to what I see in the UI. Maybe I have it all disabled.

How dare you?!

It’s possible I’m misremembering, but didn’t the valar indeed fight during the war of wrath? Or was it just the lesser ainur?

After some researching online, I am going to steal this from reddit:

From the Unfinished Tales:

To the overthrow of Morgoth he sent his herald Eönwë.

And a line that was changed by Christopher Tolkien in the Akallabêth, mentioned in The Peoples of Middle-earth:

In the Great Battle when at last Eönwë herald of Manwë overthrew Morgoth and Thangorodrim was broken, the Edain alone of the kindreds of Men fought for the Valar, whereas many others fought for Morgoth.

Christopher Tolkien then proceeds to explain this changed line from the Akallabêth:

In SA the reference to Eönwë was removed; and similarly later in the paragraph ‘refusing alike the summons of [Fionwë >] Eönwë and of Morgoth’ was changed to ‘refusing alike the summons of the Valar and of Morgoth’. The reason for this lay in the treatment of the last chapter of the Quenta Silmarillion in the published work. The only narrative of the Great Battle at the end of the First Age (V.326 ff.) derived from the time when the Children of the Valar were an important conception, and Fionwë son of Manwë was the leader and commanding authority in the final war against Morgoth and his overthrow; but the abandonment of that conception, and the change in the ‘status’ of Fionwë/Eönwë to that of Manwë’s herald led to doubt whether my father, had he ever returned to a real retelling of the story of the end of the Elder Days (see XI.245-7), would have retained Eönwë in so mighty and elemental a role. His part was in consequence somewhat diminished by omissions and ambiguous wording (as may be seen by comparing the text in Vol.V with that of the published Silmarillion; cf. also the editorial addition made to the Valaquenta, X.203). There is however no evidence for this supposition, and I now believe it to have been a mistaken treatment of the original text, and so also here in the Akallabêth.

As noted above, Christopher Tolkien notes that he made a mistake in removing the reference to Eönwë being the one to personally overthrow Morgoth in the published Silmarillion version of the Akallabêth (referred to as “SA” in the quote above).

Thus it can be safely concluded that Eönwë is the one who personally chained Morgoth at the end of the War of Wrath.

As for my own head cannon? That is difficult to say… I guess I never imagined too much extra here. I suppose some nonses, but I can’t get out of my head is that earendil used the silmaril on his ship the blast Ancalagon with lasers…

I’ve enjoyed the modern Evil Dead movies. I didn’t realize another one was coming, but based on box office results I can’t say it’s surprising. Looking forward to it.

Another road win. First time in NBA history all 4 road teams win game 1.

The 4th was nuts. The nuggets showed a lot of composure and just kept hitting tough shots.

The Hispanic people voting R can be explained by “traditional values” and “religion” - I think.

It blows my mind but I know Hispanic folks who will vote R.

Man that sucks for him. He’s getting up there in age. He’ll likely never be the same… Shoot he may not come back.

Thanks! This is useful.

When it renamed them… Do you continue to seed (in the case of torrents)?

I’m a hiring manager and the thank you notes I sometimes get after an interview have absolutely no sway on my opinions. Sure it’s nice, but for me personally it doesn’t matter at all. It’s just part of the “show” and I try to not care about that.

However, I do encourage people that are applying for jobs and interviewing to send the thank you. It definitely doesn’t hurt.

Good idea!

Thank you. I will ultimately get a professional in and am hoping to do some… Homework first. This helps.

Thank you! This is very comprehensive. I have a place to start now.

Just because this is the first post that I see that mentions LoTR, I’ll throw in

The Silmarillion

Children of Hurin

Beren and Luthien (personal favorite)

The Fall of Gondolin (incomplete, but incredible)

These are all Tolkien works and I could read them over and over.

I’m okay with the prices. They’re high, but compared to how high other things have gotten, I don’t think it’s so bad. I just need something good in a theater to watch!

I enjoy the theater experience, but I haven’t gone in several months now because there is nothing to see. At least nothing that sparks my personal interest.

At one point in my life, I was going to the theater at least 2 times a month. I got the AMC pass because it made it cheaper. It was great! This was already at the time where I could buy a beer in the theater which was even better. There was just a plethora or good content.

Now all the content that I want to see is on a streaming service.

Sure but even before 2022 I can’t recall a lot of successful stuff.

Shoot this is neat.

What content was this studio creating? I like peggs work, but I didn’t know he was so active lately.
