Comment Re:We'll probably never know (Score 1) 282

I mean Hendra virus jumped from Bats to humans and horses, only in Australia, and all the researchers are only in Australia and most of those in QLD where most of the outbreaks have been and all the deaths have been, must be the researchers doing it..... My understanding is that corona virus is in the local bat population it kind of makes sense only the local people would be investigating it...

Not to say that this is incorrect, but I think that Jacksons version was closer, I don't think it quite captured her as per Tolkins description

Galadriel grew beautiful and tall, even for the women of the Noldor, being strong of body, will, and mind, "a match for both the loremasters and the athletes of the Eldar in the days of their youth."

Indeed, "she was then of Amazon disposition and bound up her hair as a crown when taking part in athletic feats".

The Dúnedain said that her height was two rangar, or "man-high" – some 6 feet 4 inches (193 cm)

She sounds like she was a bit of a fighter in her youth, kind of like the RoP show, but she also had magic about her always... I think these days with D&D every where people struggle to imagine a warrior and a magic user. But she as also a creator

Also, she was a Noldo, and therefore close to them in mind and in the passion for crafts; and in Valinor she had learned from Yavanna and Aulë, the creator of the Dwarves himself.

also this, she was not deceived by Sauron at all

Galadriel was not deceived, and rejected him, saying that he was not in the training of Aulë as he claimed

Comment While I am not a US gamer (Score 3, Informative) 55

while I am not a US gamer, I am a gamer, and the reason for me is, there have been no games that are exciting or interesting to me coming out... there is somewhat of a drought of good games... Some Co-Op multiplayer games would be good. I suspect its also because of the trend to just update your game like Fortnite, so a you don't need to play another game to get new content and secondly the games companies are busy updating games instead of making whole new games.

You should watch this from the everyday astronaut, he does the math and surprises himself when actually compared to apollo with the dollars adjusted, it stacks up well. I mean it's still really late, but at least its done, part of the problem was all the other programs kept getting cancelled, so they went for a shit but doable plan. https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3F...

Strangely, I couldn't disagree more. By removing news content, toxic political conversations will disappear from people's feeds and conversations between people will become more civil.

I don't think so, as most of those Toxic political sites are not located in Australia, and many don't officially reveal themselves as media sites...
