Another banger, though admittedly a bit more bleak than Aragon’s hype speech.

"Sons of Gondor, of Rohan. My brothers.

I see it in your eyes, the same fear that would take the heart of me.

A day may come, when the courage of men fails. Where we forsake our friends, and abandon all bonds of fellowship.

But it is not this day.

An hour of wolves and shattered shields, when the age of men comes crashing down, but it is not this day. This day we fight!

By all that you hold dear on this good earth, I bid you stand! Men of the West!"

I believe from the same scene:

“That’s not possible.”

“No. It’s necessary.”

When I was on them, it just kinda made most things feel more “worth it”. Like before I’d make myself food and just think, “this tastes like crap, it’s barely filling, and took forever, why do I even bother making myself food” whereas the same meal on antidepressants still had me feeling like I’d accomplished something, even if it wasn’t Michelin star worthy.

Nivea out here dominating this thread. I also use it, the kind that comes in a brown bottle. I’ve got not-white skin so using it on elbows, knees, ankles is kind of a necessity unless I want to look like I’m wearing skate pads. Always after a shower and sometimes in the morning as well

Guy who betrays everyone to side with Sauron: Sauron-man.

I was gonna say. I know one CEO that isn’t stealing anyone’s wages anymore.

it’s still the same shit it was decades ago.

The engineers at Bluetooth SIG busting their ass to give us Bluetooth 6.1: “am I a joke to you?”

Ah yup. I’m pretty good at the single player games that I play, but whenever my buddies want to do any kind of matchmaking, it’s some of the best fun I have being absolutely awful at something. Consistently at the bottom of the squad and loving it, baby

Small businesses are also generally going to be more than 4% more expensive than big box stores.

I get what you’re saying, really, but when you’re broke, you’ve only got so many bullets to fight with your wallet.

I have one from Bank of America, I get 1% on everything, 2% on groceries, and 3% on a category of my choice. For the first 12 months, the 3% gets doubled to 6%. My category is “online shopping” and it’s restrictions are very loose, so if I’m going to buy something at the store I just order it for pickup online and get the 6% back.

There was also a $200 bonus if you spent a certain amount in the first 90 days, which since it is my primary card was met almost instantly. Including that bonus, I’ve got close to $400 in rewards since mid-August.

Edit: no annual fee.

So your advice is to, ah, pay the extra 4% anyways (because they’re not lowering the prices for cash paying customers), but don’t get anything back?

I love theoden for all of his flaws, but that line was so not it. Fuckin 5 year old

I’m not sure where you are, your insurance or what pharmacy you use. But when I was a pharm tech, we could pretty much always dispense a smaller quantity than what is prescribed, and leave the remainder as refills (except for C2 medication in the US). So if you’ve got one script for 45 days, and another for 30, get them both filled for the 30 day quantity.

You can also do this to align your meds. Say medication A is picked up on the 1st and medication B on the 15th. Both a 30 day supply. When you pick up medication A, ask them to fill only a 14 day supply. Then on the 15th you’ll be due for medication A and B.

Like I had an idea of where it came from.

This is one of the reasons why I like trying to make stuff, even if it’s just a one off attempt. I feel it gives a deeper appreciation to what was influencing the artist to create what they did.

What about, “Something wrong? Call Ann Phong!”

That… doesn’t really answer the question? Were you upset about it in 2010 when the troll face and whatnot were super popular?

How are you gonna call someone an Apple shill when your first service listed as “worth it” is fucking Amazon? Lol.

They at least put a “?” at the end

I recently purchased the 9070XT and it’s phenomenal. I will note that the Linux drivers don’t seem to be as good as the Windows drivers, I get much better performance in a few games on Windows than my kubuntu install. But even the very poorly optimized borderlands 4 runs max settings at ~100FPS with frame Gen on and FSR set to performance mode.
