I don't know what you're referencing and planes aren't really my specialty, but personally, I'm fascinated by the whole concept of the Instrument Landing System. Unfortunately, I don't think I have the technical understanding to confidently explain how it works, but it's using the modulation of different radio frequencies and the ways they cancel out to indicate to pilots whether they're correctly facing and approaching the runway. If the plane isn't in the right approach path, certain side frequencies will come out stronger and can be used to determine the exact angle you're off. It's friggin' fascinating. Anyway, were you referring to a specific part or just seeing if I can also nerd out about some other random topic?

Really? You use the meme that basically says "you're dumping a lot of irrelevant info in the wrong place" and have the audacity to get pissy when they hit you back with...a different meme? The gall to call someone "emotionally damaged" when you immediately read an attack from an exchange of memes.


so many names could be translated from the original language they come from. Larry? that's City of Laurels Remember president Helmet Head, he should have used an helmet (Kennedy)

Check out @airplanefactswithmax on the social medias. He's an airplane mechanic that always starts talking about airplanes, and it always devolves into a way too in depth lesson in lotr. Seems right up your alley!

Stick to your day job, m8. The joke's ain't landing.

 might not have made you laugh, but you've got to admit, you're going to be bent out of shape about my joke for at least a couple days. go outside, touch grass. have a quiet moment and reflect on why a meme chapped your ass so thoroughly. I actually feel kind of sorry for you that you're so bent out of shape on something so fucking insignificant.

Also, Shire just means Farm.

And all of the evil characters/places have Arabic or Germanic sounding names. I love his work, but he was racist. Same thing with Lovecraft, though Lovecraft was more xenophobic because he rarely left the house, and foreigners were scary.

You are an ass. Do better.

Which evil characters? Azog, Radbug, Morgoth, Sauron, Saruman. Not even remotely Germanic or Arab-sounding. Linguists have drawn comparison between Black Speech and ancient Mesopotamian languages, specifically Hurro-Urartian languages, which originated in what is now the Armenian Highlands. Again, not remotely Arabic, which is Semitic language. The only comparisons to Germanic languages I can think of in the Tolkien universe are dwarves and men. If you're gonna accuse a dead person of something awful, have your facts straight.

Harad/Haradrim/ Swirters were basically Arabic/African dark skinned swarthy people that served as heroless bad guys, unless I missed out on something. https://share.google/GGo7jZXCys45ZC8W7

They were the scary evil guys that brought Oliphants into the battle.

I had a professor that compared Black Speech to proto Germanic, so if that is completely incorrect I apologize for repeating it.

Right, wouldn't an Entish Introduction (great band name) take a month of common time?
