Elves "fade" because they live so long their spirits gradually "wear out" their bodies due to the fallen nature of the material world (thanks to Morgoth), which the power of the Valar can repair - the Valar also literally reincarnate them when they die, because Elves are not supposed to be without bodies in Valinor period (unless they've been bad.) They are quite capable of living for many, many thousands of years without any "source of magic".
I think RoP introduced this idea, but it is not in Tolkien.
I'm not sure I like that you say this as though it's an absolute truth versus your own interpretation of what "elves" are and this theory about them turning into woodland spirits.
First of all, elves appear in many different books, series, movies, and there are no hard and fast "rules" for elves. I mean, they're fictional first of all! There are no dogmatic universal laws governing them.
Also, in the Lord of the Rings, there is nothing canonical that states elves lose their bodies and become woodland spirits without "magic."
Elves do Fade and become disembodied spirits haunting remote places, maybe even to this day, according to Tolkien. Manipulating those spirits was the main reason Sauron was called the Necromancer.
It’s just a natural process that has nothing to do with “sources of magic”, Elves lived the vast majority of their time in ME without “sources of magic.” This conceit came from Rings of Power, I am pretty sure.
Jonsbo N1 is a pretty good case if the only thing you care about is getting a a small footprint as you can stand the case vertically.
Jonsbo N2 is a better more convenient case in a "cube" shape that feels smaller despite being similar in volume.
One of my builds uses an AM4 motherboard with unregistered ECC. With AM4 motherboards you're limited to any "pro" AM4 cpu, four SATA3 ports, and 2.5 gbe.
The other uses a used SuperMicro X10SDV-4C-TLN2F with registered ECC. With the Supermicro board you're stuck with an old integrated Xeon with insufficient cooling but get dual 10gbe ports and six SATA3 ports.
Carl Sagan is an excellent communicator but he relies too heavily on literary tropes and popular fiction.
The issue of witchcraft is not unchecked beliefs, but the combustible mixture of politics and economics.
Early witches weren't old women performing secret rituals in dense forests. They were the bourgeoisie, who found themselves newly rich during a time of political and economic uncertainty.
The "Malleus Maleficarum" never caught on among the religious elite. Why would they care about the imagined threat of witches when Protestants were out in the open and gaining ground amongst all levels of society?
Where the book did catch on was amongst secular courts. The book provided a convenient justification for condemning political and economic opponents. There it was used to great effect.
For home use, you should aim for multiple sensors that can track temperature, humidity, CO2, VOC, and PM2.5.
CO2 is important to track as high concentrations can impact sleep quality and critical thinking ability.
VOCs is important to track as they are associated with asthma and allergic reactions.
CO2 can only be removed by opening a window.
Most VOCs come from household chemicals and are only removed by using lots and lots of charcoal filters as the HEPA filters in household air purifiers aren't able to capture it in significant amounts.
CO₂ can also be removed with mechanical ventilation, of course. Preferably heat- or energy-recovery ventilation to pre-condition the outside air being brought in, so you're not just dumping the air you expended energy heating or cooling straight out!
We will continue to have
pedestrian collisions until we start blaming those actually at fault: the politicians and engineers who design and build dangerous transit and automotive systems.
This approach is rarely useful in safety engineering.
Sure, if someone is grossly negligent like driving drunk, then we can blame the individual, but usually the best way to improve safety is to look at the whole sequence that led up to the incident, and that requires cooperation from all parties rather than arse-covering.
Why is it with rail and plane accidents that we investigate every safety incident, no matter how minor, no matter if there are no injuries or property damage? Yet with car travel, often we won't even look into a road design (or car design) unless there have been multiple fatalities in a short space of time. We just assign some blame, fine or incarcerate someone, and don't bother investigating it any further.
This seems like such an obviously wrong way to improve road safety.
Depends on your goal. If you want to reduce injuries and fatalities, you recognize that there are multiple contributing factors and you try to address all of them if you can.
Drivers are human, we cannot drive safely when mixing with pedestrians or a lot of other cars.
It isn't possible. Therefore if we are to drive the road environment needs to support it, which means keeping pedestrians away, or speed limits of 10mph when we must mix. To give us enough space Des Moines needs to expand to 20 lane freeways (that is Houston levels of roads in a city 1/3 the population).
You can't blame drivers and get anything done as humans are not capable of getting better.
Without a source of magic they eventually lose their bodies and diminish into woodland spirits.
You can't have elves without magic and still have them be elves.
They literally disappear any place without some amount of magic.
