The cry of Morgoth in that hour was the greatest and most dreadful that was ever heard in the northern world; the mountains shook, and the earth trembled, and rocks were riven asunder. Deep in the forgotten places that cry was heard. Far beneath the ruined halls of Angband, in vaults to which the Valar in the haste of their assault had not descended, Balrogs lurked still, awaiting ever the return of their Lord; and now swiftly they arose, and passing over Hithlum they came to Lammoth as a tempest of fire. With their whips of flame they smote asunder the webs of Ungoliant, and she quailed, and turned to flight, belching black vapours to cover her.

It doesn’t actually say anything about how fast they got there. “In that hour” simply means “at that time” here. On the other hand, they travelled “as a tempest of fire”, which certainly implies magic and speed. Either way, with such inherently magical creatures as the Balrogs, saying that they cannot travel very quickly without flying seems somewhat naive.

Good meme though, always appreciate something that makes me go back to the scriptures.

I don’t think so, at least not meaningfully. Obviously it has a different meaning: tel- is seemingly a prefix that means “finish, end, be last”, and orn means tree (can also be seen in his other name, Celeborn). So the meaningful pieces would be tel and orn, which means that the p might be less pronounced than an English person would normally do it, but it doesn’t make much of a difference.

Tl;dr: he’s just named Teleporno ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Plenty of others complained, the difference was just that they could swallow the pill and keep playing. Linux players were just fucked.

She looks uncannily similar to the professor who plays host to Voldemort in Harry Potter 1

Anyone who read the article care to enlighten the rest of us who refuse to click on such garbage clickbait?

The factory i work at occasionally still uses them for delivering tests to the lab, pretty cool to hear them swish around in the pipes.

I wonder if that’s where the mass effect devs got the inspiration for the mass relay design

yea i don’t have a problem with people with issues having non-harmful outlets for their urges, even though i might consider those outlets distasteful.
