You want this awesome book of maps: Journeys of Frodo.Daehawk wrote: ↑Thu Aug 02, 2018 1:48 am Ive spent 2 days watching Lord of the Rings movie clips and studying maps the LotR world. Theres a LOT more detail than I thought to the maps but ill be damned if I can find a map to do the world justice. So many more places to find and see and the most fun i have is seeing a place's location on the map from the book or movies. Its really nice to see them in relation to other locations and what happens at them in different times of the world. How the place evolved. The heroes journeys. Places like Durin's Tower. Always wonder where it was related to Moria and the Endless Steps. Fun stuff. Maybe its just me.
Quick question. Where was the king and Aragorn camped when Elrond brings him the reforged sword? I wondered because it has a Pukel-Man statue on the path up to it and I thought that was way in the north yet I thought the camp was south down near the deadpaths.
It's based on the books, not the movie, but/and it's wonderful.

Re: Random randomness
Had a skin cancer taken off my face near my right eye today. Now my eye is almost swollen shut.
Was supposed to pick up some antibiotics from my local drug store but they were out. They'll probably have it tomorrow but with my eyesite screwed up I don't feel like driving. Hopefully it won't get infected. They were awfully careful today.

Re: Random randomness
To clear up some confusion, if you looking at book maps, he was camped in Imladris (Rivendell.) That scene was only in the movies. In the books, it was a small army of Dunedain (other rangers) who showed up, and who accompanied him through the Paths of the Dead. Now, look at the map LM posted. Find Edoras. Draw a line south to Erech. Dimorberg is about a third of the way down that line. That's where he was camped in the movies.Daehawk wrote: ↑Thu Aug 02, 2018 1:48 am

I agree this should never have happened but they probably have 2 dozen or more different types of antibiotics out there. They just ran out of the kind I needed.

Re: Random randomness
My oldest daughter went to school in Northridge. She ended up spending 5 years in the LA area, going to school and working. Finally, because of money problems caused by room mate problems she ended up moving back home a few years ago. The first year was pretty rough, she didn't want to be here and she brought 2 cats with her. But now, we have learned to enjoy each others company again and the cats are fine.Default wrote: ↑Wed Aug 01, 2018 8:56 pm Achievement unlocked: Empty Nester
Helping the boys move into an apartment. Fortunately, it's only a couple blocks from my house, so we don't have to rent a truck. It does mean a lot of trips in the Forester and I am impatient to get it over with. Getting my house emptied of clutter is a side benefit.
But, I do look forward to the day that she can move out again, hopefully locally so we can see her, but it would be nice to have that room back and get rid of the stuff in storage.

Re: Random randomness
The Untold Story of Napoleon Hill, the Greatest Self-Help Scammer of All Time
Napoleon Hill is the most famous conman you’ve probably never heard of. Born into poverty in rural Virginia at the end of the 19th century, Hill went on to write one of the most successful self-help books of the 20th century: Think and Grow Rich. In fact, he helped invent the genre. But it’s the untold story of Hill’s fraudulent business practices, tawdry sex life, and membership in a New York cult that makes him so fascinating.
That cult would become infamous in the late 1930s for trying to raise an “immortal baby.” But even those who know the story of Immortal Baby Jean may not know that the cult was inspired by Hill’s teachings, practically using his most famous work as their holy text. Don’t worry, the whole story of Napoleon Hill only gets weirder from there.

Re: Random randomness
WaPo
On a global level, economists and historians have shown that places that prospered 100, 500, even 1,000 years ago tend to be more economically developed today.
...
Now, a team of Danish economists has put forth a forceful case for one largely overlooked driver of economic development in Europe: roadways built by the Roman empire nearly two thousand years ago. They demonstrate that the density of ancient Roman roads at a given point in Europe strongly correlates with present-day prosperity, as measured by modern-day road density, population density and even satellite imagery of nighttime lighting.
Their data shows that infrastructure investments are — if you’ll pardon an unpardonable pun — a pathway to long-term prosperity.

Re: Random randomness
It looks like there's been a series of updates - including one a few weeks ago, so I can only imagine how bad it was back in 2012. If I had any other TV service option (I think Dish is the only choice), I'd drop service in a heartbeat. I spent a solid 30 minutes with it this afternoon and the only thing I've concluded is that it's not TiVo and it's painful. I'll just focus on the myriad of other problems my home is currently experiencing (hello leaking roof, nice to see you again) and be happy my problems aren't that bad.
But yeah, total crap.

Sometimes you are doing something and recall something from your past or your childhood.
I was looking up when Coca Cola stopped using sugar in the US..1985 btw....because I am drinking a Mexican Coke.¡Si Señor! Suddenly I remembered as a child I owned a Coca Cola toy truck that came with removable pallets of bottle Coke. They were tiny and were supposed to be the glass bottles in the wooden cases. They even had paint to look like Coke in them. I looked online but none of the pics rang a bell but wow those old Buddy L toys can be expensive. I can remember as a little kid in the early 70s trying to lift one end of a wooden case of bottled Cokes in a store. Damn heavy.

Re: Random randomness
Me and Wife won 2nd place in bar trivia tonight. We were in 4th place going into final jeopardy. When we learned that the category was Sports, I wagered 0 points. Sure enough, everybody else blew it. Hello, $15! w00t!
The 1st place team -- eight old people -- had a commanding lead and must have bet conservatively. We can usually beat young people, but there was no way we were going to outperform eight of our peers. I felt like that was a little unfair; most trivia matches put a 4- or 5-person limit on teams. With eight people you aren't going to have any weak categories, but when it's just Wife and I, sports and pop culture kill us every time.
The question: Which Super Bowl had the biggest audience? I WAG'd 50 (not that it mattered with a 0 wager). The answer?

We were in 4th place going into final jeopardy. When we learned that the category was Sports, I wagered 0 points. Sure enough, everybody else blew it. Hello, $15! w00t!
The 1st place team -- eight old people -- had a commanding lead and must have bet conservatively. We can usually beat young people, but there was no way we were going to outperform eight of our peers. I felt like that was a little unfair; most trivia matches put a 4- or 5-person limit on teams. With eight people you aren't going to have any weak categories, but when it's just Wife and I, sports and pop culture kill us every time.
The question: Which Super Bowl had the biggest audience? I WAG'd 50 (not that it mattered with a 0 wager). The answer?Spoiler:
I'm good at pop culture up to 1980-ish. Sports? When asked recently what I thought of the Patriots this year, I declared that they don't have a chance of winning the World Series after trading Larry Bird.

Re: Random randomness
This has been one hell of a week. Started with my cell phone not working properly. It’s an Apple iPhone so I had to drive 45 minutes to the Apple store. I had to actually go there twice because the first time I went down there it of course was working perfectly and they couldn’t find an issue to fix. Now I’m working with a really slow loaner phone, but at least I have a phone while they fix mine.
At the same time I’m dealing with that, my car decided it was going to break. My rear passenger side door will not close any longer. It’s an issue with the latch which Ford has recalled. So I had to call the dealership and schedule an appointment.
Cut to today. I was doing some work on my computer before I have to run out to the dealership to get my car fixed. My fat fingers knock over my coffee cup which spills just a little bit of coffee but right on to the keyboard of my MacBook Pro. I try and clean it up as best as I could but immediately my display starts flickering and then goes out. Back down to the Apple Store for my third time this week. And I don’t have a car because it’s at the mechanic. And I need my computer to do my job, and I don’t know how I’m going to work around not having one.
Fun times.

Re: Random randomness
Is there a clinical term for being burned out on everything? Or is that just life?
I keep finding it hard to get motivated for tasks, projects, events, and other things. I have time and ability, but the motivation is just gone. All I want to do is spend a couple months straight doing nothing at all. I don't feel like this is depression - I'm not struggling to get out of bed in the morning, I'm not thinking suicidal thoughts. I just don't want to deal with anything anymore. I'm tired of BS projects at work, tired of trying to keep my house from falling apart, tired of driving 35 minutes to work each way, very very tired of politics ... I'm just tired of everything.
I just had a vacation a couple weeks back, and that "vacation" was spent at home while my wife went on an multi-mountain Colorado adventure with her brother. I got to stay home and take care of her 9 dogs and my 1 dog. I had 3 days alone, just me and the dogs, and 6 days with 1 of the kids - the other was at camp the whole time. Those three days were great - except for having the part time job of caring for a dozen animals. I felt almost like me again during those three days, instead of a corporate drone/parent.
This feeling of not caring amplified after that vacation, instead of diminished.
Living in a van down by the river is starting to sound appealing. This can't be normal.
