that's because harvesting croissants uses really dangerous sharp tools to cut them off the stems and workers lose digits all the time. It's why the French have great single payer healthcare.
During the 15 or so years when technically Frodo possessed the ring he never used it. The first time he put it on was in Bree. I doubt he was much affected by it during those years.
The only thing I did not like about casting Elijah Wood (and don’t get me wrong I love him as Frodo) is that he was a bit too young for the role. Frodo is supposed to be in his fifties when he sets out from the Shire. Sam and Merry are about the same age but are more than 10 years younger than Frodo. In age Martin Freeman would have been better but by temperament Elijah was the better Frodo. Bilbo is more of a “fuck it, let’s do this” kind of guy whereas Frodo is much more deliberate and cautious. Martin Freeman was also an amazing choice for Bilbo.
In a lot of densely populated Asian cities, you can print to the shared printer of a local convenience store through the network without bringing a USB drive. You submit the job, it gets stored in the queue of the device, you go to the store (usually just downstairs from your apartment), scan a QR code, and the job prints. You can even pay online - it's great!
I'm a professor and require students to submit typed homework as either docx or pdf format - a student wrote their paper in Word, took a screenshot of it (including their desktop), then saved the screenshot in pdf format.

What do you do when you see a fireman?
You put it out, man.
