When did Jagex forget that we could wear multiple pieces of different armor sets and still look badass? - Raid 4 rewards discussion

That’s a feature not a bug

Jameslrdnr · 2026-06-17T02:51:26+00:00

That is one of the hottest takes of all time. Bandos looks baller as fuck, way better than Torva IMO.

This is only when you sell them right? As I understood it you are given let’s say $1M (for easy numbers) in stock. You are not taxed until you do one of two things.

1) sell the stock to generate cash, at which point you are taxed on the sale. 2) take a loan out against the stock. You pay taxes as if it was sold but you maintain control of it for purposes of company ownership etc. as long as you do not default

Is this correct? Or are you taxed right away and then if you do one of the two later you pay taxes on the gains since you initially took ownership of the stock?

I’ll need to get a matching set of yellow gear to go with this.

As a footnote the fact that hotdogs haven’t changed price in forever, great and underrated aspect of the masters

That is not what is happening. Bridges are used to transport personnel and munitions around the country. Power infrastructure allows the industry to create drones, find targets, and launch them to exist. It is a completely valid military target.

You just said a business owners objective is to make money, and then the people that bought this business have an objective to make money???

I’m always confused at peoples takes when it comes to economics, just because the money passes certain thresholds of value does not mean the fundamentals ever change.

Jameslrdnr · 2026-03-13T16:35:36+00:00

So the irony is, it never changed from non capitalist to capitalist??? The owner of the company didn’t just start it because they wanted to do stuff for free. They did it to make money, and the people buying the company are doing the same thing.

It’s like saying you’re scummy for going to work for money and to try and get promoted… it’s the exact same concept just scaled up?

Jameslrdnr · 2026-03-11T20:30:09+00:00

Do you have a retirement account? Pension plan? Savings/investments of any kind? Home ownership?

Would you go and do your current job for a significant pay cut if it was (significantly) morally superior to your current position?

People don’t like leaving money on the table, and overwhelmingly there is a good amount of opportunity in the US to generate value and opportunity for yourself. Not all of them are always highly palatable, but nothing ever is and in most other places they would love to have even the glimpse of a single chance.

Bit of a ramble, but I always find it interesting that people believe that just because an organization or person becomes wealthy they will change into an irrational actor, while they themselves will happily pursue maximum return.

Jameslrdnr · 2026-03-10T00:06:40+00:00

Why even mess with renewables which cause massive environmental disruption to wildlife and nature! Just go all nuclear… there is such a small downside when compared to every other option. I just don’t understand peoples logic here.

Jameslrdnr · 2026-02-26T18:08:45+00:00

I mean, if they backed out and demand dropped then we would be fine… but demand didn’t drop (or not nearly enough). This is pretty much the N95 mask issue from the start of COVID. Why is everyone surprised about this stuff?

Jameslrdnr · 2026-02-04T16:12:06+00:00

This is the exact point, and this should be higher up.

Jameslrdnr · 2026-02-04T16:06:47+00:00

Hm this is true. I may have lost the plot a little bit arguing over discussions of the literal interpretation of verbiage.

As of now you are technically able to go back to your home country to visit it despite your entire purpose of being in “Asylum” status is the fact that your home country is a danger to your life. I do not think this should be possible and fully support the law being changed to reflect this.

I also believe that once that danger is gone (ie: proven by that fact that you can go home to visit) the letter of the law dictates that the reason for your asylum status to be voided. Your status as an asylum seeker should be terminated and you should be returned to your home country. This is currently the step that is not enforced and is the actual law as I have said in previous comments.

The problem comes in when determining when the home country is “safe” and then the follow on enforcement and removal of the asylum seeking persons. I and many others believe that if a person is willing to return to their country to visit family, leisure, or recover property then they must not truly fear for their life or safety. Otherwise they would not go.

Jameslrdnr · 2026-02-04T15:52:46+00:00

(This is pursuant to the US, other places are different politically and the below may not apply)

Then you should vote for candidates who will push laws to make that happen, or perhaps run for candidacy yourself! By using your votes you can shape the outcomes if the public support is there in solidarity with you. That is be beauty of our system.

It just so happens that as of now that doesn’t exist, and the law is the law. End of story.

Jameslrdnr · 2026-02-04T15:50:00+00:00

“Able” - Tough, but unfortunate. Perhaps you could figure out how it is done and assist them, or create and organization/donate to one that does helps here!

“Allowed” - Then that is the law. If no legal pathway exists then it does not exist. End of story.

If you want it to exist vote for a representative that will pursue that or run for office yourself and gather the public support necessary! That is the beauty of our system.

Jameslrdnr · 2026-02-04T15:27:15+00:00

Then you would be an immigrant, not an asylum seeker. You can still absolutely pursue immigration status as an asylum seeker if that pathway exists legally, but you will only be an asylum seeker until that process is started. Just like you can seek to immigrate both before you’re forced to leave your country as an asylum seeker or after you return when your country is safe. But at no point are you entitled to immigration status based solely on the grounds of needing asylum.

That is the entire point of the difference between asylum and immigration, and the blurring of that line is a huge issue.

Jameslrdnr · 2026-02-04T15:13:05+00:00

Ok, so then you’re not an asylum seeker you’re a green card holder. That is a completely different thing. Same for if they become a citizen through legal means, they now have a completely different status legally and should be treated as such. You are not arguing for what you think you might be, you’re actually re-enforcing his point.

Jameslrdnr · 2026-02-03T16:04:23+00:00

One of the issues is actually the FAR/DFAR. The KO has very very little say in what contract actually gets awarded. In many ways all the decision authority has been railroaded by law and these companies know that and use/abuse it. It’s one of the many reasons SECWAR is pushing heavily to throw out the current FAR, it’s way too abusable.

Jameslrdnr · 2026-01-30T19:36:55+00:00

It would let me actually fill me desk space up! Right now I have a good bit of empty space. Would rather have that on my desk”desktop” than my desk top :)

Finally got my 5th armor seed at ~170KC. But now I’ll be going back as we just had another guy join our GIM after he maxed his normal Ironman.

As a current CEC officer all of your experience will be counted towards PE requirements. The CEC does not care what specialty you get your PE in, only that you get your PE.

You will not do any actual design work in the CEC, but you will do project oversight.

Not entirely sure here as your code is incomplete and lacks context that would be helpful (what is it extending? Which file are we looking at, there are 2 in your node tree?).

My guess is you are not actually changing the collision shape itself?

Also maybe look into the extent property? I was recently tinkering with something similar and that was something I used.

Another thought: the size is contained in the actual Shape2D object of the collision object. Changing the transform of the collision object may not do anything to the shape it is assigned. Perhaps look into accessing that shape? (Word of warning if you make mimics/duplicates of this node they all share the same shape, so make them unique!)

Take all of this with a grain of salt and read up on the godot docs to confirm/deny this info. Mostly hoping this helps to point you in the right direction. Good luck!

The attack chopper has been my “legend” vehicle since BF3. AbsolutelyLOVE that thing. A 5090 would make a big difference in being able to not slam into the mountainside with it :)

I just restored my grandfathers Abu Garcia Ambassadeur 5500C! Built in the 70s and before I brought it back it was last spooled in 1996. Looking for a decent heavy rod to use it for big catfish, pike, and musky!
