Well, the addressee was a member of the fellowship, but the speaker was not.

Another nail-biter. For my sixth guess there were at least two viable words. I chose the right one by sheer luck.

Re: World News Thread

Former Canadian prime minister Brian Mulroney has passed away. I'd be curious to know if anyone besides Sunny and me have heard of him.

I was out of the country for most of his tenure, so most of what I know about him comes from letters from my dad.

Well, technically, since everything posted here is for everyone, including Voronwë the Faithful, then yes.

But actually, no.

Re: The Tolkien Translation Game!

It's a bit of a stretch, but it could be this one:
I grudge you nothing that I have.
Turgon to Aredhel?

(I spelled it "Areðel" earlier because I'm reading The War of the Jewels at the moment, and that's the way she's spelled there)

Re: Trump Charged With 37 counts of Espionage, Obstruction and related crimes

I'm not sure if this is accurate to the very penny, but this is interesting: Trump Debt Counter As of this posting, it's $464,882,093.70 oops I mean $464,882,162.10 oops I mean $464,882,190.90 It's moving faster than I can type... In the time it took me to write this post, his debt increases by more...

Re: Russia's Invasion of Ukraine

There's more - their money was seized when they arrived, so they can't leave, even though apparently they want to.

I feel sorry for the kids, they didn't choose to have idiot parents.

Re: AI! AI! A ChatGPT is come!

You know what would be a really cool experiment? Take a picture of you, ask AI to age it five or ten years, hang on to it, and see if it's accurate when the time comes.

Or, take a picture of you from ten years ago, ask AI to age it ten years and see how it did.
