Is it a 300 reference? I have never seen it unfortunately
Nice meme.
However, couldn't also Eärendil be considered?
Edit: found another possibility:
Legolas is the geographically-closest “elf-prince” to Erebor, where the coat was found. But it’s made of mithril, and that can’t be found in Erebor.
So it was probably forged in Moria. The mithril was definitely mined there. We don’t know exactly when, but we know Moria bordered not one, but two elf-kingdoms (Lorien and Eregion).
Elrond was Gil-galad’s right hand elf, and probably could have claimed the title of high king after the Last Alliance, although he didn’t. He also lived in Eregion for a while, and met his wife in Lorien. He had two sons, both born well before Moria fell to the balrog.
Conclusion: it was forged either for Elladan or Elrohir. They wore it, outgrew it, and gave it back to Durin’s folk, who then brought it with them into exile.
I appreciate the effort, but what is happening is option 1, aka merging of communities, naturally.
About knowing where to post, you can usually have a look at https://lemmyverse.net/communities, search the community name, and have a good idea of which one is the most active.
Sometimes different communities can coexist, and that's fine. !science@mander.xyz and !science@lemmy.world have different audiences, and that's okay.
Meanwhile many of the young generations are quite proficient with English.
Probably more in Germanic languages countries than Romance countries (don't know about Slavic). Proximity to the language and lack of dubbing helps. I come from a Romance language speaking country, half of my friends don't know how to properly speak English (let's say enough to be able to work in English)
Oh yeah, definitely. I had a Romanian colleague who moved to Western Europe to give it a try. He went back to Romania after a few months, and when he explained me the way he was living there, I couldn't but understand.
There is free trade, yes, but we still speak different languages and moving to work between countries is still not as easy as moving between US states.
The language is a big one. English seems to become the lingua franca, but the proficiency level among the population differs a lot from one area to the other, and also brings the question of the local culture and heritage.
I was thinking the other day that just even a language such as Interlingua (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interlingua), that can be easily learned for all speakers of Romance languages, would help a lot in collaborating between populations of neighboring countries. On the other side of the spectrum, languages like Latvian might go extinct due to the massive emigration: https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/SM.POP.NETM?locations=LV
Definitely true, but valid on both sides of the Atlantic, there were a few articles on !personalfinance@lemmy.ml about cars and houses becoming unaffordable in the US
From the website is says "ships on 27 of January", so that should work
... “Second problem: You’re underage, which means you’ve still got the Trace on you.”
“I don’t —”
“The Trace, the Trace!” said Mad-Eye impatiently. “The charm that detects magical activity around under-seventeens, the way the Ministry finds out about underage magic! If you, or anyone around you, casts a spell to get you out of here, Thicknesse is going to know about it, and so will the Death Eaters." ...
Interesting split. In my case, the biggest issue is the cost of living, including the housing crisis, so I guess "economic turmoil"?
