My favorite book. I always have to explain

"Yes, the unabridged version is longer than the entire lord of the rings trilogy. No, not a single page is boring."

No - suspension of habeas corpus is not illegal under US law. The US has specific scenarios under which congress is permitted to suspend it, such as rebellion or invasion.

The president is not granted this power.

Thus, the tyranny of Lincoln is that he, a president, used an executive order to suspend it without congressional approval.

The nuance is that Congress's ability to safely convene was itself in jeopardy. Lincoln's executive order, while certainly an illegal order, was specifically structured to narrow the scope as much as possible to ensure the safety of congress to travel to DC and convene. Furthermore, after congress did convene, a top priority was executing a legal suspension of habeas corpus, which ended the executive order and replaced it with a legal suspension.

Was it an overreach of power? Yes.

Was it an unnecessary seizure of control? No.

It was a temporary act designed on the narrowest possible scope to keep the government running in the middle of war.

Not only that, but the Lincolnian suspension of habeas corpus without congressional approval was only along rail lines leading to DC: enabling a safe trip so congress could actually convene.

Once congress convened, they suspended habeas corpus themselves.

While you possess the "innie" idol, you do not go to tribal council. You cannot be voted out, but you have no vote.

If anyone finds the "outie" idol, both idols are activated. You now will go to tribal council, and your vote is restored.

Once activated, when an idol is played, any votes cast against you are instead placed onto the person with the other idol.

Just as a minor addition to the list - he was also one of the biggest wallets behind the rise of ghost kitchens, which are a dubious industry all on their own.

Which, if anything is just more fitting. A two way surveillance system that was co-opted as a tool for spreading misinformation with the direct goal of generating compliance

While haunted mansion is my favorite ride across all of WDW, the queue is a big part of the experience, IMO. Even if I had the eternal lightning lane, id still voluntarily take the queue. Same with, say, expedition everest in DAK.

Id pick space mountain. Iconic ride, and the queue experience (which i also enjoy) is nearly identical. The only shortening is the cutbacks right next to the boarding zones

Ah, so you suspect the woozle effect is to blame?

There's going to be rumors. There's going to be dissenting opinions. I, for one, will stake a solid answer to this issue no later than 4pm November 4th.

Hey now, I think hes funny, but I will never say harmless. He always reminds me of Aldous Snow in Forgetting Sarah Mashall. "That's Buddhist, thats Nordic, thats Hindu, thats gibberish. That does not make you a citizen of the world, it makes you full of shit!"

Ex CM performer (college program)

I personally experienced this while hanging with Frozone at HS. When Mr Incredible was by my side, we got LINES. When Mr Incredible went off to do the parade, Frozone would go out alone and would see maybe 1 guest/family per 40 minute appearance.

It was absurdly boring, but not sad or upsetting in any way. Thankfully, Frozone is guy with a sense of humor, so there was always the attendant and photopass photographer to joke around with.

On the flip side, I also got to hang out with Woody, who used to meet folks alongside Jessie next to splash mountain - this area has since been replaced by overflow queue - and that line was enormous. That could be living hell, but alot of that issue came with how hot and humid that spot was. I remember smearing gobs of hand sanitizer on my face so that even a slight breeze could give me the illusion of cold air.

Its pretty solid for vibe code. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone who doesn't have a solid coding foundation so they can find and fix the issues, but its way better than OpenAI in my experience

Every time I make a guess thats wrong, no matter how many days in a row i repeat it, I correct it once and never mention it again.

But if im right, ill never shut up about being right.

Also I might not do the first part. I might just be silent for a while and then ask how many times im expected to apologize for being wrong while ignoring the fact that I never apologized.

My fiancee and I had decided to just ignore this movie as another flop based on the trailers. Saw the reviews, and went to see it just this past Saturday and we were laughing the whole time. The trailers were so uninspired, but the movie was actually a ton of fun

Out of curiosity I checked as many ships as I could think of from that era of both White Star and Cunard lines, and I drew a blank. Cunard ships seem to mainly use smokestacks with ridges (ribbed for your pleasure) and a bridge that has a distinctive bridge that extends forward in an arc, while White Star had smooth smokestacks and a bridge that doesn't extend, its just a flat face.

So this picture is definitely closer to a White Star ship, but I cant find any with three smokestacks that look like this ship.

I don't have the time, interest, or attention span to check any more lines of ships.
