I'm spitballing, but my guess would be the water crystals damage the fibres, softening them

Yep, the difference between .444... And .5 is only .0555...

Who notices 5 nintieths of something? That's going to be within the error of sloppy measuring anyways

No so much directly as encouraged his supporters to.

Rhymes with "bang my fence"

His social media investment absolutely paid off

So yeah. Not that 'Zionist' is a slur

Edit: Really, shitty censorship bot? We're adulterating URLs now, and selectively only that specific slur? Gross on both counts

That's a very good question, and one that I don't know the answer to. I would guess no, as the point of the Istari losing their memories was to make them more like the people they were sent to save; it's not something about being embodied that made them lose their bodyless memories, it was part of their mission. The balrogs had no such mission

Iirc the books themselves didn't say, but Tolkien's letters say something to the effect of the Istari only having vague memories of their time as Maia, with the exception of things that they were explicitly meant to remember, e.g. Olórin's memories of being sent back after his physical death while fighting Durin's Bane.

They know that they are, in our parlance, embodied angels or minor gods, but they don't remember a ton of where they came from

The right wing has never supported veterans

"G'day cunts" goes over either extremely well or extremely poorly, with no in-between

Better than 50 gallon drums of napalm
