I jumped ship (lol) a year ago. Synology NAS w/ 16TB of space, Jellyfin, and Proton. Set up my family with Jellyfin on their Roku TV's. I was paying for Prime & D+. My brother provided Netflix. Lost that first. Now we're all watching what we want, when we want, and I gladly cover the cost for everyone.

We're not much for live sports, so no loss to speak of

Or where they currently live.

Or, the case of NYC Puerto Ricans, both (New Yorican lol)

Thanks. I hate it

Sometimes those little round keys for special cylinder locks and po boxes were the hardest to figure out.

Yup! I keep my Ilco bible with me for just that reason. Also, three keys at once? Damn son.

I never had brass splinters in my feet, but I've had plenty in my hands

Looks like one of those assa a-xx high security commercial keys

I thought the same

It would be easier to steal keys off of someone's desk or just pick the lock over stalking someone online, verifying you know their location irl, decoding a key from a picture, and then using that key at their work(?). Possible, but highly improbable. Like, if a YT streamer showed their house key and their address was public enough, yeah, that's a risk. Some rando on Lemmy? Not so much

Sorry sorry, professional interest here. I have to correct you, because I noticed you're wrong in my field of expertise

Broken key looks like an Assa or possibly a Medico, but I'm not familiar enough with the milling to say for sure. The blade is stamped so thin that I'd have to say it's probably Assa. The small desk lock key is, I'm 95% sure, a y13 Yale key.

Y11 is a more common small keyway, similar Master's m1 padlock key, but the milling at the bow of the pictured key isn't y11. Y1 is the classic Yale house key, comparable in size to Schlage's SC1. These are, of course, all Ilco key numbers with original manufacturer brand names.

I still have the lava lamp my first girlfriend gave me. It's strange, there's so many things from that time in my life that remind me of her. Even certain locations take me back, when I'm visiting my old stomping grounds. But not that lava lamp. It's just a light

Oh, sorry, i thought we were shitposting on a meme. Ok, serious lore stuff.

The Valar (gods) would not be affected by the Ring. Yes. However, the undying lands are also inhabited by Maiar (wizards, balrogs, etc.) and Eldar (elves) who could most definitely be corrupted by the Ring. After the attack by Ungoliant and Morgoth on the Two Trees of Light the Valar were very picky about who could enter Valinor. Hell, they sundered the seas just to further control access to their shores.

So I think it's pretty safe to say the Ring would not be permitted access to the West, directly prevented by the Valar themselves. They would never permit the taint of corruption in their own halls

Heh heh, taint

[–] SirSamuel@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

Absolutely. The Valar would love to have the One Ring on their shores. They are huge fans of anyone aligned with Morgoth. Having the One Ring, with all of the power Sauron bestowed on it, it's corrupting influence working it's way into the minds of the Eldar, would be the best thing since Ungoliant drank the sap of Laurelin and Telperion. The Valar would be like "Hell yeah, brother!" and totally would not prevent the Ring from reaching the shores of Valinor

I was thinking the same, but less eloquently.

Yours is much better

 

A little into about me. I'm in my mid-forties, I live in Ohio, USA, and am on Medicaid. I suspect I have either ADD or ADHD but I can't get diagnostic testing covered by Medicaid. What can I do to get testing or treatment? There are lots of "in-network" providers, but every time I get the focus to try and make an appointment no one answers their phones, or they're not taking new patients, or they're not in network after all. I'm so so so tired
