Oromë is one of the Valar, essentially demi-gods in Tolkien's universe. He's like the huntsmen God.
The battle of the Valar might refer to the Battle of Powers, in which the Valar fought against Melkor (another Valar, but evil and very powerful) and his army for basically trying to take over the world, or it could refer to the War of Wrath, which was fought between the Valar, men, elves, and dwarves against Melkor (now named Morgoth) over the Silmarills (very fancy powerful gems made by one of the elves) and, well, the taking-over-the-world thing again.
None of this is referenced in the original book(s), so as a reader you just think, "Theoden (King of Rohan, a major city of men) is a badass, he's getting compared to some made up God." But when you've got the context, it's one of those inexplicable hype feelings.
I noticed that Walmart has started using the cheap shitty ones again. Haven't looked to see if they claim to be reusable but they're hardly durable enough for the first go.
A while back, I was a big fan of the lemonade flavored Trulys (alcoholic seltzer). I started stacking empty cans on my desk, letting them accumulate for a couple days, until eventually the desk would get bumped and the tower would fall.
After a while, I started hot gluing the cans together.
Long story short, I have a five layer pyramid of lemonade Trulys atop the shelving unit in the front room. I forget it's there, but people usually ask about it within the first 15 minutes of coming over for the first time.
Fun fact: the word "factoid" means a false bit of information that is being passed as fact. It doesn't mean "a small interesting tidbit of information".
Though I suppose the official definition will be changed since the proper one is seemingly dead
Quick edit: looks like it may have already been altered.
Yup. And nobody but their customers will buy (since it's $150 for a $100 card) so they don't have to worry about buying a card to send a real customer to look legit.
I don't know of any videos, but the concept seems to have gotten pretty popular in the last year or two. I'm in the 3D printing community, and there's pretty frequently a "magic floating whatever>" in the "popular" section.
I assume the most difficult part would be determining what size magnets to use to achieve the desired float height. The rest should (in theory) be relatively simple; the magnets' natural characteristics do all the hard work.
There's a few ways it can be arranged, but typically, there will be a large, powerful magnet in the base, a small magnet at the bottom of the floating object that is attracted to the big magnet (to keep the object upright), and a series of other magnets around the object that are repelled by the big magnet (to make it float).
I've seen some that use a secondary "key" magnet on the base and object that is the opposite polarity of the base magnet, that forces the object to sit in a specific orientation. Otherwise, the object can just kind of freely spin/float, so long as the bottom magnet stays pointing down.
