The world’s tallest wind turbine is up in eastern Germany. The turbine’s hub is 300 metres up, where winds are stronger and steadier than winds closer to ground level. The manufacturer says that roughly doubles the tall turbine’s output compared to a standard turbine using the same rotor, and […]

See, THIS is what the Internet is supposed to be for

People also ask
Who legally owns the One Ring?

Realistically the Nation of Gondor would have the strongest claim and thus Aragorn as it rightful head of state.
While Isildur took the ring as spoils of war it was never taken from him or sold. Just lost this becoming an artifact. It was found by Deagol and should have been given to the Gondorian authorities for curation in a museum. Though Mordor does have valid.claim as the artefact was created by one of its citizens and is a cultural price of great importance

Isn't it technically Sauron's property?

I thought this was made pretty clear. It "answers to him and him alone" could imply ownership in perpetuity. Probably more than a few quotes to back that up. Everyone else who possesses it brings it back to Sauron in one way or another. Or the sackville bagginses.

also he never willingly abbandoned it. so legally don't think anyone else has a claim

The Deagol estate.

Possibly the actual answer, if abandonment kicks in while it's in the river, he might be the true owner when. he dies.

But if he died intestate without a will, it would revert through escheatment to the local government, since killing Deagol does not make it Sméagol's. So it would become the possession of whatever government the Stoors have??

“One mile on a bike is a $.42 economic gain to society, one mile driving is a $.20 loss.” “Which means that Copenhagen, a city of 1.2 million people, saves $357 million/yr on health costs because something like 80% of its population commutes by bike.” Investing in bike infrastructure saves money.

One mile on a bike is a $.42 economic gain to society, one mile driving is a $.20 loss

Copenhagen, the bicycle-friendliest place on the planet, publishes a biannual Bicycle Account, and buried in its pages is a rather astonishing fact.
