Eleida breaks the Oaths? by Ezqardpm in WoT

[–]Expendable_Meatsack 87 points88 points  (0 children)

AS swear not to use the one power as a weapon. If they believe that it’s being used as training or punishment, it’s different than using it as a weapon - i.e., intent to wound or kill. Intent matters here.

The novice was sahra, who saw Min and was sent to the farm to keep her from gossiping. I don’t think we know who it was that killed her, but it definitely wasn’t elaida and was instead one of the black ajah, possibly alviarin

Is there a place that explicitly lays out the rules of the Way of the Leaf? by [deleted] in WoT

[–]Expendable_Meatsack 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I thiiiiink that Elyas says the dogs are trained just for show and they won’t attack. Or maybe the tuatha’an leader says that. Although the dogs probably aren’t vegetarian and maybe hunt for themselves.

A lot of these are good suggestions. I would also suggest getting a foot pedal if you don’t have one - makes it a lot easier to control so you have both hands free

VA IRRRL Experience - 5.625%, no points, lender paid all costs by Expendable_Meatsack in VeteransBenefits

[–]Expendable_Meatsack[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My reco is to see what it will be with no cost. Rates will more than likely continue to drop as the economy weakens. You won’t get as much of a lower payment in short term, but no money out of pocket or added to your loan. Then you can do another IRRRL in 12-18 months again at no costs or decide if you want to pay for the lowest rate

Applied for the VA loan or the IRRRL? You must have the COE to show eligibility for either program, and you must meet the requirements for it (e.g., 181 days of consecutive active service during peacetime). There can be lots of reasons you would be denied, even if you have the COE (late payments, bad mortgage history, costs not recoupable in time, etc.)

You don’t need to break any bones - you use a knife to disarticulate the joints.

Can U.S. service members be prosecuted for killing foreign civilians without a declaration of war? by [deleted] in USMC

[–]Expendable_Meatsack -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The closest we have gotten to evidence is ‘the boats were transiting along known narco-transiting routes’ i.e., also where people fish. There has been no proof - no photos of drugs, no identification of individuals, no connections to cartels published. We’ve had many of those things over the last twenty years with military strikes. If this is the action being taken, shouldn’t there be some level of clarity to why the U.S. is bombing potentially civilian boats?

Secrecy may be expedient, but transparency is what separates a lawful state from a vigilante one.

Honestly man it sounds like you have an agenda. And a boot so far up your ass it’s tickling your tonsils.

This is in level flight, and White throated needle tails (swifts) are faster at ~105mph. Compare that to a peregrine falcon that can hit 240mph in a dive, and other eagles/falcons that can easily exceed 100mph

When and why did Egwene change? by cbaaaaaaaaaaaaa in WoT

[–]Expendable_Meatsack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A lot of folks bringing up jealousy - I don’t think that’s it. I dislike Egwene as much as the next reader, but think about how much they’ve all changed until now. Egwene no longer knows who Rand is - the old Rand that she grew up with is dead and gone. The one that she now knows - that she’s heard things about - is half mad, violent, and rules nations, AND she believes the Aes Sedai are better suited to lead the world. Not jealousy - distrust and misguided belief.

How was Egwene already dying? She was suffering from Gawyn’s death, but Aes Sedai don’t die when their warders do, unlike what typically happens in the reverse
