A lot of states have weird laws like this. Connecticut also doesn't allow you to have more than one drink at a time (at least last I knew) so if you and your friends order a shot and a beer they pour the round of shots, wait until you've all finished them, then give you the beers.
Imagine creating so much suffering for what should be a commodity of decreasing value, and in so doing create strong incentives for the world to move away from said commodity. It would be like throwing a fit in the sandbox and hoarding all the toys just as all the other kids are deciding that it's time to go swimming.
To be fair, it seems the devices were thrown by counterprotesters who were trying to quash the 20-person anti-Muslim protest. It's a shame, because the counterprotest had them outnumbered with about 125 people of their own. I'm afraid that an incident like this actually weakens the counterprotesters' image and cause (although it's NYC and I think the people there are generally really good about supporting their diverse neighbors).
I believe this is partially true. Guinness has a mix of dissolved nitrogen and carbon dioxide, called G-Mix (some info here and here). Apparently this is typically in a ratio of 75% nitrogen to 25% carbon dioxide, although if you mix your own you can determine the ratio based on your draft setup and the desired outcome. Having the CO2 in there is also is why it tastes less flat than other nitrogenated beers, I think.
That's a reasonable assumption, but this is also how a black and tan (or "half and half," in Ireland) is made: layer Guinness or a different stout beer on top of a pale one.
I would watch the movie about this where the protagonist eventually tracks down his mother's assailant. Park Chan-wook can writr and direct it and it will be called Youngman.
That sounds like a horrible experience for her, though. What made you change your stance on guns?
You're absolutely right, but sometimes I think back to my own stupidity as I came of age and am just incredibly thankful that the internet was such a different place. As such, society was more forgiving and our dumbassery faded into the anonymity of time.
That said, some things are really encouraging about the younger generations. They seem, as a whole, much more socially and environmentally conscious than I think many of us were. I meant my original comment in a "get off my lawn" kind of way (which I think you also understood and echoed), so as a more serious counterpoint to my original snark, "the kids are alright" if not all right.
According to US News & World Report, the national average cost of in-state tuition is $12,436 and the national average cost of out-of-state tuition is $29,815. So it sure is possible (on average), but just barely. I also randomly checked Florida State University and their tuition is $6,517 for in-state and $21,683 for out-of-state students so it's a relative bargain.
It's very possible. This was quite a few years ago at one of the casinos, so they may have different laws there (Native territory, I think).
