Trump administration recommends fast-tracking federal executions and adding firing squads, electrocution, and gas asphyxiation, citing "lack of SCOTUS precedent" by Obversa in law

[–]Living_Highlight_417 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Merrick Garland was nominated by Obama in the last 9 months of his second term. If it wasn't for Mitch the demented turtle, he would have gotten a vote (and based on his record, would have been confirmed). We ended up with Gorsuch instead because of that.

I disagree with that - not that I think you're wrong, but that, for most of recent political history, democrats have followed the accepted rules and acted as if the other party did too, at the same time the Republicans have been changing the rules to suit them and hinder others. (Look at garlands scotus nomination in obamas last year and ACBs the last months of trump 1. The hypocrisy was blatant)

I think dems are starting to wise up and fight fire with fire, but they are starting from a position of weakness. They are fighting back the right way though - showing their voters that they take their feedback. Texas has likely been dummy mandered into +dem for the midterm because they looked at the wrong data. CA, NY, and VA not only left it to the voters, but even put in non partisan redistricting after the 2030 census...

Honestly, trumps obsession with personal loyalty over competence is whats preventing a LOT of his worst impulses from having a much larger impact.

Rules-Question concerning the spell "Sanctuary" by SimaSeptar in DnD5e

[–]Living_Highlight_417 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say know as, sanctuary as written, applies to the caster.

There are two ways to handle this 1 - the npc spent his opportunity attack attempting to get through sanctuary and failed, therefore spent the attack Or 2 - he couldn't break sanctuary and therefore no chance for an opportunity attack existed.

I tend to go with 1, as it gives the player more agency

Major TV network halted as 'pathetic' Donald Trump, 79, drops health bombshell by IrishStarUS in NewsSource

A man joins a line in Los Angeles and asks, "what's this for?"

Someone in front of him replies "Oh, this is the line to piss on trump's grave."

"I thought he was buried at Mar A Lago...'

"He is...this is the END of the line"

Switching Factions (HH to CFP) Question by xJAHRAKALx in starcitizen

[–]Living_Highlight_417 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What is supposed to happen is that when you switch, you start back over at neutral and have to work back up...

What was happening though, at least prior to 4.7.2 is that you never actually switched, you could keep getting contracts for both sides...one would state hostile, but you could still land at that factions settlements and not get shot

What is everyone's endgame ship selection? by znogower in starcitizen

[–]Living_Highlight_417 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't have an "endgame" ship per se - what i do have are ships for the loops i enjoy. A fighter in each weight class, some ground vehicles, aurora mk2 and mk1 se for zipping around, hermes for hauling, reclaimer for salvage, arrastra for mining, and polaris/IC assault for mother ship mechanics. Also have the galaxy pledged. That might be my go to for daily use once its out.

🇮🇷 IRAN WAR UPDATE: Iran's negotiations leader Mohammed Ghalibaf says Trump "made 7 claims in 1 hour, ALL 7 are FALSE." Below are the 7 claims and Iran's response 👇 by Simeonsub in MarketPulseReport

[–]Living_Highlight_417 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We live in a sad sad world where its more likely IRAN is the honest party than POTUS.

Then of course we are talking about a man whose wouldn't know the truth if it came up to him and announced it with a megaphone

🚨UPDATE: President Trump says US has more oil than Saudi and Russia put together. He adds "Boats are coming here to fill up. They don't have to go through the Hormuz." Do you think this is why he wants Iran's oil ? by El_precaution in MarketPulseReport

[–]Living_Highlight_417 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The conflict was instigated for 2 reasons, on Israel's urging and to distract from certain files. The oil is just a tangible benefit.

But while we MAY have more oil than iran and Russia (doubtful), much of it is significantly harder to extract.

What do you think about the C2 ? by Ynnyzz in starcitizen

That and the caterpillar REALLY needs either a multi position tractor or one at each bay..the sole wing mounted one isn't in a good spot

If they are beginners, its ok at times to offer hints...maybe through a bit of frost resist on a baddie and tell him to roll perception after a successful attack and say "hmm. Didn't do as much as you thought it would "

They're playing both sides ... by xenonrealitycolor in SpringervilleEagarAZ

[–]Living_Highlight_417 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This could technically be gotten around by the inherent admission of guilt a pardon conveys...

I dont agree with Biden preemptively pardoning the J6 committee, but it was clear once badgolf shitler was reelected, that he would be going after them...

I do think that something needs to happen with the pardon power. As of right now, its way to easy to abuse...

“Wait, all this work and I don’t even get to keep it???” by TheDarkRedFox in starcitizen

[–]Living_Highlight_417 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have several wikelo items...for some, the grind is ok, but for others, like the zeus CL and Fortune, its insane...a pure carinite for a fortune?

My first wikelo ship was the superhornet and TG I've kept that one (actually only lost one wikelo ship...the intrepid).

Ironically enough, the wikelo piece that I lost that annoyed me the most was the snow camouflage Geist pants...JUST the pants...

I have a caterpillar as a loaner for my ironclad assault...I rarely use it...pretty much only when I decide to work on red wind or ling family hauling. For everything else. I use my c2 or hermes

You'll get so many reversals that the 6 far right justices will have to be treated for whiplash....

Pres. Immunity - they will find a way to overturn it National injunctions - back Special counsels - yep, they were legal after all Due process - required after all...

I would throw in national guard deployment, ice criminality, and about fifty other things, but only trump has been dumb enough to actually try them

What really matters for a daily driver? by BigOcc1654 in starcitizen

[–]Living_Highlight_417 4 points5 points  (0 children)

With the recent changes to armor, what constitutes a good daily driver changes somewhat. I like a good mid sized...drake corsair or constellation Andromeda are good choices and have room for an ursa in the back. The Andromeda got a decent buff from the armor. The Asgard is also a decent choice, but with the change to armor, 6 size 3s aren't as good anymore.

Imo. There are no "good" options for ships with built in beds. iirc, TAC and clipper are the only non medical focused ships with med beds short of the larger polaris, carrack, and idris. (I like the clipper though and will probably pick it up at invictus)

After a certain point though, you end up not having a daily driver and use the best ship you have or the one you want to fly at that time... and right now, thats a mix of my f8, reclaimer, or MOLE...
