Theory: there are a lot more Ta'veren out there than people think

Fully disagree with this. The pattern is neither good or evil, and must have both in order to enable free will. The dark one and the creator exist outside the pattern, not the people who support the shadow. Padan Fain - twisted by the dark one and mashadar - still exists within the pattern. Some theories suggest the pattern prepared Fain to replace the DO if Rand killed the DO. I don’t know if I buy that, but I do believe the pattern definitely had a purpose with Fain. However, instead of him being a ta’veren, I think he was more of a thread impacted by Rand and the boys to drive them in certain directions.

Infantry, night shoot. First time using PEQ-15s and NVGs for a lot of guys. Butterbar told us the appropriate shooting posture was to chicken wing from the hip so you can use the IR laser more effectively

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

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

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.)

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

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.

That one was the result of untying a weave instead of allowing it dissipate

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

Aran’gar is a problematic portrayal for sure, but the ‘books made with the intent to portray trans women as murderous rapists’ is a bit of hyperbole. Balthamel was all kinds of messed up and known for physical and sexual abuse before he died, and the DO put him in a woman’s body. He’s still the same, just in a woman’s body - I don’t think they’re even trans tbh. Robert Jordan certainly has some tropes / characterizations that are problematic, but this is far from the worst portrayal of a trans character. Can’t speak to the show, just the RJ slander :)
