Well, it can also radiate away in the form of EM radiation, typically infrared. That takes time though.

Technically it applies if you don’t see them, but I think that would be a pretty good defence.

Where I live, you have to slow down if kids are in the school zone regardless of the time or date.

You have to ask politely. At least say please.

You know the old saying, ‘Get a job doing the thing you love, and you’ll never work a day in your life!’?

That’s really bad advice. Get a job doing something you like, but not your passion. If you burn out on your passion, you’ve lost the thing that brings you joy.

Galadriel was certainly tempted by it—in fact, I’m sure she fully intended to take it from Frodo.

Gandalf had clearly considered using it at some stage, but rejected the idea.

Tom Bombadil wasn’t capable of being tempted by it. It seems the only thing that could tempt him was Goldberry.

And Faramir doesn’t seem to have been affected by it at all and rejected the idea of using it out of hand, even before knowing exactly what it was.

Sure, there is a federal ministry.

This sort of issue would be handled at the state level though. Every state (and territory) has its own Ministry of Education (or equivalent) and things like this would be handled that level.

If we’re talking about seven schools, the jurisdiction most likely affected is the Australian Capital Territory. My own state, South Australia, has over 100 affected sites.

The Australian Ministry of Education? Surely this would have been one of the state ministries, wouldn’t it?

Trump keeps talking about annexing Canada though. Hitler didn’t need to invade Poland or any of the other nations he Blitzkrieged, but there it is.

He has fallen quiet about that though. I wonder if someone with an ounce of historical knowledge told him that if you’re going to fascist, don’t start wars at the same time.

If you watch carefully you’ll notice that Gimli picks up the axe belonging to the Dwarf sitting next to him.
