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?
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 jokes ain’t landing especially when the whole “joke” is a weak-ass personal attack.
Do better. Or better yet, give up.

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.

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.

What do you get recognised for on Lemmy? - Lemmy.World
We’re a small tight knit community. We see the same names everywhere. I’m sure many of you have been recognised by strangers before. What is your claim to Lemmy fame. (Question inspired by, https://lemmy.world/comment/19964547 [https://lemmy.world/comment/19964547])

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.

Yep. Some common names:
Steve ← Steven ← Stephanus ← στέφανος = crown (or wealth)
Linda ← -linde = tender, soft
James ← Iacomus ← Iacobus ← Ἰάκωβος ← Ἰακώβ ← יַעֲקֹב = heel, footprint / follow, watch, observe
Karen ← Catherine ← Αἰκατερίνη ← Ἑκάτη = one who works from far away (referring to a goddess)
Karen- one who complains to management

Didn’t he also say that his actual Entish name would take too long to pronounce for regular mortals to bother with?
Right, wouldn’t an Entish Introduction (great band name) take a month of common time?

The Haradrim swore allegiance to Sauron after long years of oppression by the Númenóreans and conflict with Gondor, during which Sauron worked to seduce them to his side. However, not all of them joined Sauron. Many sided with the blue wizards. You could draw parallels to modern times; not all Russians support Putin, and not all Iranians support Khomeini.
It’s worth mentioning Dunlendings also went the same way after excessive Númenórean exploitation of their natural resources and resulting wars. They fought for Saruman (Sauron by proxy) alongside Uruk-hai in Helm’s Deep.
Of course the Haradrim were dark-skinned - they were from the southern hemisphere of Arda, the huge landmass south of Gondor and Mordor. Most of it is on or below the equator.

I knew someone that actually read the Silmarillion would be able to correct me. Thank you for the correction.
