Once the lawsuit about illegally lending out books is completely settled, I may consider donating again if they focus on their core activity, namely archiving of websites.
I want to support their archiving activities, not their misplaced piracy.
There also are more races than ever before. On average he needs to catch 7 points per race. That's difficult but doable with the current point structure and amount of races left
The first gout attack I had was the worst. I had been limping for two weeks thinking it would just go away, but it got steadily worse until it became unbearable and I went to the doctor. The diagnosis was almost instantaneous. She looked at my foot and went "Yep, gout". It got worse for another couple of days until it slowly started ebbing away. I was basically a cripple for at least two weeks though.
I have it better under control now, but it still plays up sometimes. Gout sucks, but also there are worse things I suppose.
This only goes for the movies. In the books they have arranged a house for Frodo on the eastern border of the Shire, where he will go lay low for several months before going to Rivendell. Merry, Pippin and Fatty Bolger have figured out the plan months in advance and made their own plans, in such a way that when the black riders arrive in the region, they leave within 5 minutes and have a route planned out already.
Also, it's tobacco as clearly mentioned in the books. They are probably quite drunk in this scene though.
Edit: and of course Samwise was also involved in the plans, he was the one who told them. Frodo was being played by all his close friends.
It's the TIL community, not "This is super interesting". You probably wandered in from the All feed, which is fine, but please do keep in mind the community you are commenting in.
Depends a bit where you live, but my guess is on average € 45-50k, with whatever local benefits there are. Which translates to between 3 and 4k a month, depending on whether a 14th month is included. But this can be a lot higher or lower depending on the location.
I am glad you are saying this. I have started typing a similar comment several times, but didn't want to deal with the inevitable avalanche of comments from what seems to be the lemmy hive mind on this subject.
He does a years worth of updates in like 3 or 4 weeks and then takes off for like 6 months. For me that's acceptable. When he does get around to it, he pushes updates like the Flash on speed and fixes nearly all flagged issues in addition to adding new features that have been requested.
