I recently finished reading The Lord of the Rings (well, I still have a little more of the Appendices to finish up), and I am now listening to the 1981 BBC radio drama adaptation. Who knows this version? I really like it so far!
Also, I will read The Silmarillion after I finish the Appendices.

Hey @nytimes.com, I already reported this earlier this week.
And the G650s you mention? I reported on those in FEBRUARY.
You credit NBC News and WSJ for first reporting parts of your story. Please credit me, too.
I can't wait. Did you also get the rumble controller?
Gonna do the same when I get mine! Congrats on getting yours already. Hoping mine ships amy day now.
NEW: In the middle of the night, the House tried to pass a bill that would have given President Trump and Stephen Miller the power to spy on Americans without a warrant for years to come.
It failed due to pressure from the public — but they plan to vote again in just 2 weeks.

TMZ goes after politicians now?? Lol
If he and the Clippers get away with this, every team should do this with their superstars. I think this was blatantly bypassing the salary cap.
I once saw finger 0 in a Henle, lol. I think it was for a Brahms cello or violin sonata
Looking forward to mine arriving!
Well, we are gonna try growing some fruits/veggies in pots on our apartment porch. Anyone got tips? Favorite/easiest things to grow?
I am about to live stream myself playing Heretic (a great Doom clone) in about 10 minutes from now on Twitch! twitch.tv/orangesodaking
Halo 2? More like Halo Too Many Autoscrollers, amirite??

I have never conquered my fear of the pop canned biscuits make when you open them.

It's quite surprising that the controllers to my dad's Sears Tele-Games Super Pong IV from 1976 are reliable than the controllers to our Xbox Series S from the 2020s, but the more I think about it, it's not surprising at all.
We all know Rachmaninoff had massive hands, but listen closely to the recording of him playing his own second piano concerto. He breaks the opening left hand chords, even though he could have easily done them unbroken.
Tater Tot wags his tail anytime he's excited. Mozzarella enjoys belly rubs. I think our cats are turning into dogs.
Who here has love for John Field's nocturnes? Anybody? Sure, they aren't Chopin, but they are nice and satisfying to play.
Or possibly Eye-byu-pro-fun?
How do you pronounce Ibuprofen? Is it really Eye-bee-pro-fun? Why not Eye-boo-pro-fun?
I have a memory card for the original Xbox that goes into the memory card ports on controllers, and two Xbox 360 Guitar Hero guitars.
I just randomly remembered the beautiful choral piece Io son la primavera by William Hawley, and boy is that piece a lot more difficult than it looks on the page.
I am so thankful for a wife who humors me and plays my wacky retro games with me. Here is Pro Pinball: Big Race USA for PS1 using a system link cable, two copies of the game, two PlayStation consoles, and two TVs. We also play some Revenge of the Gator multiplayer. youtu.be/eTNE46lmSLE?...
