Electoral politics doesn't get the job done
  • Would it though?

    Firstly, the general population is stretched so financially thin that a 10 day strike is unaffordable for most

    Now, ten days to bring everything to a halt sounds great. But unless it's coordinated in certain areas, then there's just a freeze on everything. Remember the COVID pandemic? Even if only certain areas strike, the situation is so bad that alot of jobs would be covered.

    Secondly, do you honestly believe that the general population is selfless enough to not place any e-commerce, online services or any sort of digital product purchases within that 10 days? No.

    Lastly, what happens after those 10 days? The whip comes out, there's catching up to do.

  • Anon thinks Aragorn could have done more
  • This

    The corsairs of umbar flee the boats, the party & rangers take the ships. The whole point of the fleet was to cut off the Dol Amroth reinforcements, which can then join the battle

    At Pellenor, they just scare the enemy forces. Once they've fulfilled their oath, they are free.

  • I'm the same age

    I found that stone was used for weight commonly up until recent times. I've been asked in person and one form what my weight is in kg (I think maybe health insurance?)

    Same with Lbs and pints, but also milk. Every standard plastic milk carton is measured in pints, usually with ml/l printed on them these days. Smallest carton? 1 pint. Most common? 4. Giant carton 6 etc

  • UK here - never used stone, LBs or pints as a measurement

    If I was measuring bodyweight, I would use KG. Grams for anything light.

    The only time I see Milk measured in pints, is bottles or cartons of standard dairy milk in supermarkets. Any other milk is litres, including dairy such as Jersey / Cream top milk
