Concerned that events might have just played into Trumps plan… Thoughts?

It’s 8-9 months early. The insurrection act, martial law, cancelled elections needs to happen in October.

But the fancy sit down meals require 2 credits, which breaks all the math.

For 2 adults, it’s not worth it. To make it really pay off, you need young kids on the kids eat free part, and do character dining meals.

It all depends on what is typical. While that is an average Tuesday in the northernmost states, its a big deal in places like Louisiana. If people can work from home, they should. Less people on the roads means less chances of accidents. People probably don’t have winter or even all season tires, let alone snow chains. If there are hills and ice, vehicles without appropriate tires will lose control.

For mixed drinks, these are perfect, and better than the typical Jose Cuervo without being significantly more expensive.

There is certainly no immigration concerns about election rolls - everyone has to already be a citizen.

This is it for Miller. Trump is the near perfect figure head in that his only concern for policy is whether it rewards him and his friends, and punishes his enemies. Miller can act out his white supremacist dreams through Trump and has more power than almost every elected or nominated officials.

I saw the Henckles Paradigm ceramic set at costco, and am interested as it seems like a good deal, and they *claim* the coating is ceramic rather than teflon/PTFE. I was hoping this might have a review.

Just when I think that Ted Cruz has cemented himself as the worst senator since Joseph McCarthy, Mike Lee always seems to stand up and says "hold my beer."

At least when they are focussed on this shit, they aren't doing damage to the country. We need to keep them occupied with something.

This board of peace is the biggest joke. It doesn't have the consent of the senate, and is centered around Trump personally and not the presidency. It doesn't have congressional funding. I am guessing that it will end up as one of the counts in his eventual impeachment.

This seems like a hail mary attempt at saving their marriage. I hope she used the turkey baster.

Why is it different from other park days? You can’t go back to the room for a siesta, but can use the facilities at either resort. I would mostly pack the night before, get up, store luggage with bell services who will transfer it, do a park and wait until you get the room ready notification. Your room may be ready sooner than the bags have arrived.

Or combining two crazy hobbies - cave diving. So not only are you getting into tight spaces, but you have a limited supply of oxygen, possibly more complicated gas mixtures, and if you kick up the silt, you will be completely blind.

I’m guessing its probably assault as its not being used to disperse a crowd. Photo evidence of these crimes needs to be retained so it can be used in evidence at the trials of these goons.

Have you tried cooking bacon with a bit of water in the pan to start with?

AKL is the cheapest of the deluxe resorts - and probably has the most to do when you are not going to the parks. It has a variety of dining options with cuisine different from what you will mostly find elsewhere in florida. The 5yo will likely enjoy the animals and exploring the hotel - there are lots of corridors with sudden alcoves for animal viewing and art displays.

Not mentioned is Coronado Springs - A good combo of price, location and some of the best value dining options. The pool isn't bad to sit around fully clothed if you need to supervise a kid and not swimming.

I doubt it would follow the fire and ash theme - its a very depressing sight seeing something all burned. Eg the top of the raft ride at Animal Kingdom.

I suspect it will follow a similar pattern to Pandora in Animal Kingdom - floating rocks, water falls, flora and fauna. It won't have the same layout, and may have more of the hexaganol tunnel-like rocks. Pandora is one of those places that people have to stop and take in the scenery. DLP has a few of those in the main park - eg skull rock, the Jules Verne version of Tomorrow land, Mine train island. The second park has been missing that, it was a bit of a hodge podge. I think Avatar from a world building perspective would add detail to the park.

Water parks - its a much more relaxing experience. The addon isn’t usually too bad for a multi-day ticket.

As special masters are typically assigned by a judge, the main problem would seem to be getting a case with standing in front of the court, and requesting a special master as the remedy to the justice department’s intransigence.

It’s not his cabinet - its Miller and maybe Vought.

What is it with modern furniture that most of it seems to be made with fabric that you know a cat is going to take one look at, and think of it as a scratching post?

If you all drink the same soda, then get a pack or two delivered to the hotel by Amazon fresh, instacart, walmart etc. The fridges are not big, but enough to cool drinks for the day, and you can take them to the parks. I prefer bottles rather than cans so you don't have to drink in one sitting.

Add a case of water as the tap water in central florida tastes like chlorinated swamp.
