  • Here’s the text.

    “Judgment in Cases of Impeachment shall not extend further than removal from Office, and disqualification to hold and enjoy any Office of honor, Trust, or Profit under the United States; but the Party convicted shall nevertheless be liable and subject to Indictment, Trial, Judgment and Punishment, according to Law.”

    Impeachment is important and it should’ve happened, but the senate literally can’t do anything except remove him from office, and the impeachment text specifically allows for regular law to also apply to whoever got impeached.

    So no, we do not have this covered by impeachment, and no former president is immune from regular legal proceedings.

    Current presidents are, though, through supreme court precedent and the self-pardon. Former presidents should not automatically get this benefit though.


  • No.

    Of course even the president has a right to due process, but no. If the president commits treason, he doesn’t get to be immune to that. A trial is warranted and an arrest if found guilty is correct.

    Yes, corruption could hypothetically rig such a trial. But a president immune from the consequences of his actions means there only needs to be one person corrupted to ruin a whole branch of government, instead of the hundreds it would take Congress to rig a trial.


  • Zigbee is a mesh network, but Zigbee with mqtt has a hub that stores messages. I haven’t used it myself but it would mean that if, say, a Zigbee bulb was routing a message on the mesh network through a smart switch across the room to the hub, and the switch dropped the connection for a moment, a hub reply could be dropped entirely. Just briefly, but thatd be the intermittent issues that people are describing here.

    MQTT stores all those messages in the hub though and makes the light bulb check in to get the messages, so if a light bulb were to do that and the switch disconnected, the light bulb would notice the failure and just retry, and the message is still on the mqtt hub to be redelivered.

    Dunno if this description is exactly correct, but it sounds like it from my brief look on Wikipedia on communication differences.

    No it was “God doesn’t make mistakes, therefore you must deserve to suffer.”

    But that’s also what ive heard from Christians about anything gay/trans. They dont say its fake, they say god made things the way they are on purpose and those urges and desires are temptations. They make it into a test of their faith.

    “Oh you have CF? You must have sinned a lot.” (My friend, who is atheist) “yeah, actually. Dont really care though”. “Oh well if you pray every day and atone and blah blah God will save you, hes just waiting for you to reach out to him.”

    “Oh you wanna dress like a girl? No no, this is a test, god wants to know you’re faithful. Repent for these thoughts and pray every day and atone […]”.

    Any failures or faults are sin, at least with the Christians I know in my area. Gay, trans, genetic disorders, cancer, whatever.

    So these ones, at least, admit gay/trans people exist. One of them even openly admitted to having those urges “once” but said he prayed the gay away.

    I got a strong feeling he secretly hates himself in a few ways. The alcoholism was a big hint.

    The short of it is “It’s not a mistake if it’s a test.”








  • Nah its cool factorio guy doesn’t HAVE to leave.

    No pollution, no biters.

    Very doable.

    Just find an island, 100 stone for 2 landfill, and get to the island by picking up a landfill behind you and placing it in front of you.

    You have eternity, so take trips off your island to mine things by hand, craft things by hand, etc.

    Eternity awaits.


  • Most slaves parents were also born here, at that point in time.

    So it’s incorrect to think of them as citizens of any country, at the time.

    The amendment was primarily for slaves, yes. I responded with a nah because the comment above mine asked if this was a ploy to remove their citizenship in some way. It wasn’t, the supreme court had their own racist ploy for that.


  • Nah its actually what granted citizenship.

    Property isn’t a citizen, and freeing the slaves didn’t make them citizens.

    Before this amendment, the supreme court had ruled that black people “were never intended” to be citizens under the constitution.

    During the rebuilding of the US after the civil war, this got added, so that that nonsense ruling (which was argued against, even then, since there was no such phrasing in the constitution) had no power. Instead, being born in the US was enough, which was true for basically every freed slave at that point in history.

    So they were officially not citizens, in the whole nation, just before the civil war. Then they were freed by the 13th amendment, and made citizens in this one, and then the 15th protected the right to vote regardless of race or other things.


  • Yeah, basically what older editions did. I also like that you have to identify it, too, so I keep that in.

    If you prepared the exact spell that day, great, you identify it, and can expend a casting of that spell to counter it.

    If it’s not something you prepared that day but it is something you could’ve prepared, maybe you recognize it. Free action to roll arcana (or, your spellcasting tradition, for pf2). For games with secret rolls, like pf2, this roll is secret.

    However, I also like 5e’s counterspell as a preparedness check, so if i feel like some homebrew that day, I add a spell back in. Ive never settled on a good name for it so I’ll call it Read Spell here. What this version of the spell does is casting it as a reaction allows the same identification as above, but if it’s on your list and is your level, you automatically succeed. If its above your level, or not on your list but the right level, then it grants that roll.

    So a level 5 wizard that prepped fireball could counter fireball, expending 1 level 3 slot.

    A level 5 wizard with fireball in their book that didn’t prep fireball could counter it with a successful arcana check, and therefore could reasonably counter fireball, but isn’t guaranteed to be able to, for the same level 3 slot.

    A level 5 wizard with fireball in their book that didnt prep fireball but that had the level 1 Read Spell could counter a fireball (or any other lebel 3 or lower wizard spell) guaranteed, and would end up spending that Level 3 slot and the slot for Read Spell.

    A level 5 druid (no fireball) couldn’t succeed at countering Fireball without Read Spell, but could cast Read Spell to get a chance at that roll.

    And a level 3 wizard could also get a chance in the same way, although they’d really only be able to use that if they were like, 3 wizard/2 cleric, something that gives them third level slots without third level spells. Niche, but valid I feel.

    Despite this theorycrafting, I’ve never had a player even take counterspell or my homebrew options, even when they know they’ll have a wizard, so this remains untested.
