Do you get required side powers? Speed especially requires enhanced durability and strength to avoid injuring yourself when using your power.

Map needs updated, one of the disputes that escalated the Hatfield-McCoy feud concerned the ownership of a hog. The feud lead to the Governors of Kentucky and West Virginia threatening to invade each other and ended when Kentucky’s Adjunct General (highest ranking office of the state militia) Sam Hill ordered a military incursion into West Virginia.

It is different because sanctuary rules don’t usurp federal authority. Sanctuary rules prevent state and local authorities from enforcing federal law and cooperating with federal law enforcement for certain crimes which is legal because state and local authorities have no obligation and only a limited ability to enforce federal laws. Texas is claiming jurisdiction in a couple of areas in which jurisdiction is specifically reserved to the federal government, actively interfering with federal agencies, and taking actions that violate federal law and international treaties. Legal passive resistance vs active violent resistance.

No, Stanley is much older than either of those brands. They are a tool manufacturer that also makes appliances and camping gear. Stanley thermoses were the gold standard for insulated containers in the early 20th century.

Immuno blockers suck. My mom has an autoimmune disorder and has been on them for decades to control it. They’re better than not being able to control her disorder of course but every minor bug that goes around is a serious issue for her. Glad this round went well for your family.

Who said it invalidated anything? I figure them still having so much power makes it worse than most people think.

They don’t exercise much power outside of their ceremonial role but they still have a huge amount of power. Everything the UK government does requires royal assent. While only used ceremonially now, the government requires the Monarch’s permission to form in the first place and the PM is appointed by the Monarch. The Monarch has the power to unilaterally dismiss the PM and disband parliament. The last time a Monarch denied assent for a bill was in 1708 when Queen Anne vetoed the Scottish Militia Bill. The last time a Monarch broke convention with the use of their powers was in 1834 when William IV dismissed the Whig PM and cabinet and appointed a conservative PM and cabinet to replace them. The last time breaking convention was publicly discussed was in 2013 to stop Brexit.

Water is best but unsweetened tea has a nicer flavor and the only thing I can find that makes it worse than water from a health standpoint is the caffeine.

And then the Hawaiians replaced the ham with spam.

It spawned the greater Lucas group of companies which included LucasArts, Industrial Light & Magic, and Skywalker Sound and created THX and Pixar. It created the expanded universe model and was the primary driver behind the popularisation of sci-fi conventions. It was the first franchise to meaningfully leverage licensing for action figures, games, and other merchandise (not necessarily a good thing but maybe because it drastically increased movie budgets and production quality). It has also been a major contributor to independent film festivals, regularly hosting them at Skywalker Ranch. The innovations of the Star Wars franchise have been central to the industry for the past 40 years. Cinema and fandom would look a lot different without Star Wars.

No it can’t, with tax brackets you are not taxed at the top rate for your whole income. Say you make 90k and the tax brackets go 0-15k:0%, 15k-30k:10%, 30k-40k:15%, 40k-50k:20%, 50k-100k:25% 100k+:30%. On the first 15k you make you pay $0 in tax on the next 15k you pay $1.5k, on the next 10k you pay $1.5k, on the next 10k you pay $2k, and on the last 40k you pay $10k. Total tax of $15k(~17% of 90k). Now say you get a raise and are making $110k. On the first 50k you are still only paying $5k, on the next 50k you are now paying $12.5k, and on the last 10k you are paying $3k. Total tax bill $20.5k(~19% of 110k). If you were taxed at the top rate for your total income then the first tax liability would have been $22.5k(25% of 90k) and the second would have been $33k(30% of 110k). That’s part of the difference between actual tax rate and effective tax rate, the other part being things like tax incentives, write-offs, and deductions.

A couple of legal nonprofit have apps that automatically upload cellphone video. The ACLU’s Mobile Justice app automatically sends videos to their servers. Maybe that could be adapted to work with a headset.

Festivus. It’s the holiday for the rest of us.

What you’re talking about is a calculation based on the birth of John the Baptist. John the Baptist’s father was a priest in the order of Abijah and John the Baptist was conceivced with his father’s barren wife as a reward for his service in the temple. His service would have ended in June. The angel Gabriel visited Mary in the sixth month of that pregnancy to tell her that she would birth Jesus. The calculation is June + 6 = Dec + 9 = September.

December is definitely not the correct month because the story has shepherds tending their flocks in the field. Sheep have to be brought in from the field for the winter months and would not have been in the field in December. They would have been moved to shelter no later then the end of October.

The year is also problematic. Jesus was born during the reign of King Harrod who died in 4BCE. And during a mass killing of babies which, if it happened at all, would have occurred at least a couple of years before Harrod’s death.

It’s also worth saying that there isn’t good evidence for Jesus having ever existed at all. It seems most likely that he did and was a reformist rabbi that the myth was built around but no one apparently wrote anything about him for a century or two after his death.

I’ve had a canvas Jansport for almost 30 years, I carried it for 3 years in middle school and it’s been a hiking backpack since. If they’re still made the same and you get a cloth one instead of those plastic character backpacks then it should last forever.

Aired and either Quote or Quota. Hits all of the vowels and a few common consonants.

It’s so bad that it was removed from canon before the release of the next movie. The director’s Renegade cut removes most of the alien plotline and is supposed to be an improvement but I say this kind of trainwreck of a movie deserves to be watched in all of it’s original theatrical release glory.

1/5 truly a movie that deserves it’s place on the list beside such classics as The Room and Jaws The Revenge

The most popular country music star contemporary to Jerry Lee Lewis was a guitar player. Guy by the name of Hank Williams.

I think we read it in 7th grade.
