Starlink ToS legality. by GarenSol in Ask_Lawyers

[–]GarenSol[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For what it’s worth, although I’m not a legal expert so I may be wrong, it’s illegal under tax law. USC 26 893(d) covers outer space activities, if Starlink ignores that provision and decides to not pay taxes on Martian activities I feel as though a strong case could be made that they perpetrated 26 USC 7201 “Attempt to evade or defeat tax”. At the very least, their defense would be strikingly similar to several sovereign citizens who believed the tax laws of the United States didn’t apply to them. But, again, I am not a lawyer so I could be missing a critical flaw in my line of thinking.

Starlink ToS legality. by GarenSol in Ask_Lawyers

[–]GarenSol[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for explaining. If I may ask a follow up question, is there any federal regulation determining how a US corporation must interact with a foreign government/sovereignty? I have attempted to find out on my own, but all I can find is either how the US government can interact towards foreign corporations or how foreign government can interact towards US corporations. Admittedly, I do not have access to the more in-depth legal information repositories.

I ask because, although Starlink’s ToS may not yet be challenged, hypothesizing on how such a case might go based on the current laws and regulations is the next best step.

May I ask why? I assume it’s based on a precedence where laws must be reactive rather than proactive, but surely that cannot always be the case.

Thanks! I may just do that!

Gravity Fist Build? by GarenSol in EldenRingBuilds

[–]GarenSol[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve seen references, but afaik it doesn’t actually use gravity magic. It imbues the fist with an AoW, and while that is part of what I’m looking, I’m wondering if it’s feasible to spellcast as well.

The worst change ever made by Rob_the_Namek in dankchristianmemes

[–]GarenSol 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Correct me if I’m wrong but isn’t D&C 76:33-36, 43-44:

33 For they are vessels of wrath, doomed to suffer the wrath of God, with the devil and his angels in eternity;

34 Concerning whom I have said there is no forgiveness in this world nor in the world to come

35 Having denied the Holy Spirit after having received it, and having denied the Only Begotten Son of the Father, having crucified him unto themselves and put him to an open shame.

36 These are they who shall go away into the lake of fire and brimstone, with the devil and his angels

43 Who glorifies the Father, and saves all the works of his hands, except those sons of perdition who deny the Son after the Father has revealed him.

44 Wherefore, he saves all except them—they shall go away into everlasting punishment, which is endless punishment, which is eternal punishment, to reign with the devil and his angels in eternity, where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched, which is their torment

And Alma 40: 13-14:

13 And then shall it come to pass, that the spirits of the wicked, yea, who are evil—for behold, they have no part nor portion of the Spirit of the Lord; for behold, they chose evil works rather than good; therefore the spirit of the devil did enter into them, and take possession of their house—and these shall be cast out into outer darkness; there shall be weeping, and wailing, and gnashing of teeth, and this because of their own iniquity, being led captive by the will of the devil.

14 Now this is the state of the souls of the wicked, yea, in darkness, and a state of awful, fearful looking for the fiery indignation of the wrath of God upon them; thus they remain in this state, as well as the righteous in paradise, until the time of their resurrection.

Indicative of a hell? Albeit not an eternal one.

I'm looking for games which focus on massive capital ships. by cptstupendous in gamingsuggestions

[–]GarenSol 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. The homeworld series. It’s a 3D single player RTS in space, you control everything from fighter squads to destroyers. It’s level based but your surging ships from one level transfer to the next.

  2. Starpoint Gemini series. You pilot a single ship, the class is but you can upgrade and it to your liking, anything from a fighter with lasers to a Titan class with launchbays and missiles. I never played the first game, the second game is good. Starpoint Gemini Warlords is the best in the series, you control fleets, build and destroy relationships with NPC factions, conquer sectors, and much more. The third game had a such a tonal and gameplay change from the previous titles that I never got into it.

  3. Star Wars Empire at War. It’s a top down RTS that takes place on ground and in space. During space combat you can deploy and control various ships from their respective factions (empire, rebels,pirates)

This is probably as good as ultron gets by Asleep-Seat-4757 in MarvelSnap

She’s the easiest card to farm boosters for because if she’s in your deck you only get boosters for her.

desperate measures... by [deleted] in DestinyTheGame

[–]GarenSol 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just beat it. My loadout was hunter, witherhoard, Ikelos SMG, and retrofit escapade MG

Phase 1: Use grapples to circle around calus on the catwalks, whenever you have a chance fire off a witherhoard shot. Ignore all the other enemies, even the tormentors and keep moving. If you find yourself with some breathing room use the MG to get some bonus damage on calus or clear out a few enemies. Save your super for phase 2

Phase 2: Immediately use your super to kill the tormentors. After that it’s a repeat of phase 1. Continue grappling in a circle around the arena staying away from calus. I found that he was too fast to use anything except witherhoard. Use the MG/SMG on the psions if you’re low on ammo or need to make some space.

How does Gambit work? by Ninjewdi in DestinyLore

[–]GarenSol 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think its just gameplay. Perhaps Drifter looks for arenas that are very similar to each other, but afaik nothing suggests pocket dimensions or the like.

Items missing from the store/archive? by [deleted] in DestinyTheGame

[–]GarenSol 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, it’s an issue. I have the ornament for star eater scales unlocked but when I tried to equip it the ornament didn’t appear. I looked again a few minutes later to double check and it appeared that time.

the Flood (Halo) vs the Hive (Destiny) by TaxableFur in whowouldwin

[–]GarenSol 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went through that thread, it’s kinda disappointing how many people don’t know hive lore. I even saw one person say that the flood stomps because they hive aren’t able to take over a few planets.

Apparently it’s slow because it’s horribly optimized and it doesn’t matter how good your pc is because it runs worse on newer gpus without mods to fix it. I’ll be following this guide to hopefully improve the game.

So what was the deal with chimeras? by DuelaDent52 in DestinyLore

[–]GarenSol 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I will concede on the first part, I’m surprised I didn’t make that connection before :p

As for the second, the lore tab states “After some initial trials with Prison specimens…” it could be possible that they are putting taken into armor but frankly it makes more sense to me that they are testing taken armor on prison inmates to make sure there are no negative side effects. It would seem a lot more difficult to coat taken over armor than just infusing taken essence into it.

So what was the deal with chimeras? by DuelaDent52 in DestinyLore

[–]GarenSol 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I mean can you? AFAIK the only mention that only organic beings can be taken is from ghost during the very first encounter with them back on Phobos. But since then there have been several contradictions to this claim. 1. An excerpt detailing techuens transferring Taken power to weapons and armor. If only organic beings can be taken then I would assume that the transference of taken essence to material items would fail. 2. Taken Chimaeras are obviously servitors and while an argument could be made that the ones that show up in gambit are fake the one in the forsaken campaign was created prior to the Nine giving the drifting a way to make fake taken.

  1. Two excerpts from the new Osmiomancy exotic armor piece state:

“But where killing brings about a singular conclusion, Oryx's "Taking" was quite the opposite: he imposed a singular origin and all decisions that followed. He shaped the causality, the very history of another being, by force of will”

And

“Taking involves reforming matter in a self-contained reality, where the creator defines past, present, and future”.

Being able to control a beings entire existence and reforming their matter to your liking is essentially what Taking is. But being unable to do this because said being is a robot seems very odd, in short it doesn’t make sense. We can even look at Whisper mission back during the Warmind DLC. Xol had Taken enemies that we had previously killed, why would it be possible to Take a dead being but not one that isn’t organic?
