Cinema, not literature. In the books the undead army is way less OP than in the movie adaptation. Their only weapon is fear, and they do not liberate minas tirith, but only scare the mercenaries off their black sail ships. Aragon uses the boats to quick travel to minas tirith with his elf and half elven friends and fresh troops from the south.

And this is why they’re absolutely winning. Why are they dominating the entire media landscape and are we just sitting back? Is it only because an average lie is easier to believe in than the difficult truth? Or should we become more angry at them?

They don’t even kill them, they just scare them off their boats using ‘fear as a weapon’.

Just breath through your mouth, works like a charm

I have a frustratingly low amount of time and energy lately unfortunately. But I did finally 3d print and hang my new headphone holder on the wall, so it’s something

Please sir, resting bitch face is a serious affliction.

Bonus fact: after getting out of this tree he quickly zoomed to a second tree, which he also climbed.

Hey, didn’t that woman on the left had cancer or something? Wonder how she’s doing…

I sleep so much better after I started doing this. Seriously, try it out for like a week/month and you’ll never go back, I swear

Omg I know that brand, I gave it as a present to a friend of mine last weekend. Did you get a matching hoodie as well? The pictures of the dog/human combos both wearing the same colours are just astonishingly perfect.

In my opinion, it’s always been about determinism and convergent evolution. Determinism states that if the cards were reshuffled and evolution were to take place again from the beginning, more or less the same would happen. There wouldn’t be sentient octopuses or hive mind ants controlling the planet, because there are simple evolutionary pressures giving rise to features that eventually lead to more or less bipedal apes.

This hooks into convergent evolution. This is about the fact that features like wings and eyes were so successful in terms of evolution they actually evolved independently of each other multiple times. Eyes evolved in different lineages and evolutionary pathways around 65 times during the history of earth. This indicates that simple evolutionary pressures (like needing to look around) will always end up with something that is a lens based retinal pigmented organ. This deterministic view of evolution leads many to believe that on another planet that looks like earth, inhabitants will look like us due to the rules and constraints of evolution.

Usually measurements in ice core drillings.

When you piss off a woman with a perm in your restaurant and ten minutes later several apache helicopters rain down hellfire on your establishment.

Both. Sometimes he hears us talking and comes screaming. But mostly we come and go together, except if he gets distracted and vanishes of course.

Kind reminder that the first solar panels had an efficiency of around 10%, and are now at 22%. The cost of photovoltaics has decreased 60% over the past decade alone.

Of course there is no ‘silver bullet’. But the researchers of the original article still recommend working on projects like these.

Thank you. So many people are still living with data from 1970 in their heads

I only recently discovered Amon Amarth, their songs are just amazing! Great for driving or working out

Man, I love frogs.

Gorgeous! I was there for the first time recently, beautiful building

Fuck that scale bar though. The decimal separator makes it look like the human hair is 10cm thick.
