Blacksmith Debunks 9-11 Myth
ChaosEngineI really wish he hadn't heated it to 1800 degrees.
I can just picture the truther morons saying "aha! so the government added something to the jet fuel to make it burn hotter!"
Why not just heat it to 1500 and show what happens then (i.e. not quite as malleable, but still more than enough to bend under... oh, I dunno, about 45000 tonnes of tower sitting on top of it)?

Health care in Canada
RedSkyOn costs, it's super simple too. In countries who have a single payer system, the government is a monopsony or (near) single buyer with huge market power to bring down price of drugs and treatment. This is primarily why the US health care industry is so deathly afraid of a single payer system and demonized it. The final AHA, to appease the industry, had provisions specifically stating the government would not attempt to push down prices.
Insurance companies and union groups in the US are nowhere near as powerful because of their relative size and can't dictate price. At an individual consumer level there is also no competition because for those with work provided cover, the cost is hidden as an income deduction. Whereas those without cover get hosed with chargemaster prices and as an individual have no ability to contest high prices anyhow.

The Origins of Dragons in Middle Earth
articianAha, Ainur, thank you! I knew I was probably thinking of the wrong term.
Either way, didn't know there was "raging controversy". I did however get to work on Lord of the Rings Online for 3 years, where I had daily access to one of the best lore-historians in the US( Chris Pierson, who sat next to me).
Pretty sure he said something along the lines of "One of the last in Middle earth that we know of", so there was definitely an open-ended element to the topic
It's probably a really good idea to open up the endlessly raging Bombadil controversy. Well so what, Tolkienian cosmology is fascinating. To some extent he's a deliberate enigma. Personally I favour the idea, if he's explicable at all, that he's the spirit of Arda itself or at least the foremost of a number of more provincial spirits. There are competing theories, but it's not really possible that he's a Maia.
Certainly there were any number of Maiar still knocking around at the time of the Fellowship: Gandalf, Saruman, et al; Sauron; Durin's Bane; Gwaihir; arguably Shelob (half-Maia at best); and depending on how widely you want to define 'in Middle Earth', Arien & Tilion (the bearers of the sun & moon), presumably Osse & Uinen, etc.
Bombadil calls himself, and the elves agree, 'eldest', and he claims to have been around before Melkor, who was definitively the first of the Ainur to descend into the circles of the world. He's unaffected by, and not really interested in, the Ring, unlike the Maiar who come into contact with it in the course of the story.
Ilúvatar set the Secret Fire, which gives sentient creatures their fëar or souls, burning at the heart of the world. I can't see an origin for Tom that doesn't derive directly from that, given that at the point he appears in the chronology there's very little else in existence.
I don't know what all this makes Goldberry.
