Probably he's on a diet and his wife won't let him eat more than 1 order of meatballs.

Also he tricked the ents into walking past Isengard so that they'd see how many trees Saruman whacked and take an ax to him instead.

Sad about this one tbh. Didn't really seem op in my pubs but maybe it was too good in the pro scene.

*You can only teleport out to where you teleported in from.

Does this mean you get dropped into outer space if you stay inside for more than checks notes ~4 minutes?

Is it feasible? Sure. The limit on this kind of calculation is basically how much detail do we need to add to the environment (i.e., can we make the model) and how high resolution does the sound wave need to be (can we calculate it given finite compute resources).

To get something that roughly sounds like a rock? Not difficult to model or calculate, if we make some reasonable assumptions.

The sound of a wet towel thrown in the water during a hailstorm? Uhhh that's a tough one.

Simulating sound uses classical mechanics governed by the wave equation, which is well-understood. In terms of CPU power, the calculation to propagate a simple sound wave (wavelet) could probably have been done on a TI-89 calculator from high school.

It's a Christmas present to him but even more of one for everybody else!

The idea is checking out with more than a basket of goods is really inconvenient. And I agree, it's much slower and there's no space for it.

Paladin: It works because I just feel really strongly about it.

If you're not afraid of the legal system why not slap a Disney logo on there too?
