Did you read it? Explicitly says they have wings.

It would not have been awkward, it would have been describing what heeamt had he meant that. Seems some people are incapable of understanding that these are magical beings who's bodies may not be entirely made of material that we would expect.

Balrogs - and I shouldn't even have to say this - dohave wings.

He says they have wings. As I said, if you want to take that they are made of shadows you can, but they have wings.

I can't believe people still argue over whether or not Balrogs have wings when the text unambiguously says they do. You can have wings and also have a shadow that looks like wings.

His enemy halted again, facing him, and the shadow about it reached out like two vast wings.

...suddenly it drew itself up to a great height, and its wings were spread from wall to wall...

Like two vast wings but then he explicitly says its wings were spread, clearly stating it has wings. To be the most generous you could try to say the wings are made of shadows, but based on the text they're clearly still wings.

Yes, Balrogs have wings.

You should look I to Morphe now. Apparently main dev of ReVanced left and made it.

That's because studded tires should only be used on ice. Even in winter on dry roads studded tires have worse traction than even all season tires do. Realistically very few people should even own studded tires because stud less winter tires are just better in most situations.

Winter tires are not just about the snow. They have better dry traction in the cold as well.

I mean she is beloved in the north country. That's the problem.

Yeah except those statues didn't go up until well into the 1900's.

The rain. My dog will ask to go out, see it's raining when I open the door and give me this pleading look. He has a raincoat but if it's raining heavily it's not really enough.

 

Can anyone help me solve this? I have a Samsung Galaxy Watch (I believe it's the original, I got it in 2019) and ever since my phone (S23 Ultra) last updated it doesn't save my notification settings. I like to have it set so that my watch still notifies me while I am on my phone and that when my watch is connected to my phone it silences notifications on my phone. I can still set that, but when I turn it off at night it resets the settings so every morning I have to open the wearable app and redo my settings. Does anyone know how to fix this?

 

I'm looking at getting into photography and I'm trying to decide on what camera would be best for me. One of the primary things I'm interested in is nature photography when I'm out on hikes.

I spoke with someone I know into photography and he seemed to be pushing me towards full frame cameras. Given the prices for these cameras (I'm fine with used) it seems like I have to make a bit of a choice between older full frame and newer aps-c.

After doing some research here are the cameras I am currently considering:

Sony a7

Sony a7R II

Sony a6400 (or maybe a6500)

Nikon D800

Canon EOS 5D Mk III

Canon M50 Mk II

These are sort of organized by how interested in them I am. The pricing varies a bit for them, but with the cheaper ones I'd be able to get more lenses sooner and/or feel less bad about upgrading it in 2 years if I get really into it. So would the a7 or a7r be a good way to go to get a good balance of things or is something like a D800 still worth it today? Or is it just that worth it to have something like the a6400/6500 today to have newer features?
