Me too. Different star, same constellation.

Be nice to your mom while you can. Mom loves you, even if you're a goon.

I've lurked a while, so now I must obey the rules and post.

Random observation: BYOB regulars have interesting sigs.

Random factoid: Tomorrow I am being recognized by my employer for twenty years of service. The free lunch and the afternoon off are the best part of the deal, though.

Oh, and I'm a lawyer, but mostly I'm a librarian and a network admin.

Peace out.

Ok guys. Take a moment to look at the first page. There is a littering of duplicate threads and parody threads. This is why I asked that we not do this

Tomorrow morning I'm cleaning house. Please don't come in here rending your clothes and bemoaning your dead thread. It's a circle of life kind of thing (somebody find the soundtrack to the lion king)

What's the font problem?

Yeah those taps, well six of them, all have nice full kegs behind 'em. Haven't figured out what's going on the other four

Also that chicken video, cute as all hell. I want chickens again

So what's in each of those six nice full kegs?
Thirsty minds want to know.

E: bright cider, manny's, mac n jack, ballast point, lucille, and union jack. $8.99 a fill so not bad. And we don't sell foam like the knuckleheads down the street

All good stuff. 2 Towns makes good cider. I sure do miss living in the NW. Just last year, the legislature in this very southern state finally raised the allowable alcohol percentage in beer and cider to the point where we now have a few craft breweries producing some drinkable stuff.

All this sounds good but I want to work with my current doctors and such but scared of bringing it up

You could try bringing up medical marijuana by asking in a general way about alternatives to large ongoing doses of opioid painkillers. Many doctors are trying to cut back on prescribing those. Don't be afraid to ask questions. It's your body, after all. Have you done any research online? Pubmed http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed is a good place to start. A search for <marijuana chronic pain> should get you some useful hits (no pun intended - really.)

Peace out.

then explain this, particularly kentucky

http://www.bazelon.org/LinkClick.aspx?fileticket=-Hs7F_Ohfgg%3D&tabid=543

Quite a few states still have provisions like this in their constitutions, but they have been strictly limited either by attorney general opinions or statutes. For example many states have laws that specify that residents of mental health facilities retain the right to vote. I suspect that any widespread attempt by a state government to enforce these provisions would be successfully challenged in federal court.

I'm a law librarian, and I'm at work, so I'm going to count this as answering a reference question.

What's hover text

It's a text balloon that appears if you hover your mouse pointer over a link.
If you go to http://forums.somethingawful.com/ and hover your mouse pointer over the link to byob, the hover text says, "what's up?"
In most cases the hover text for each forum gives a brief description of the topics discussed there. Some hover text is accurate and helpful. Some not so much.
For example, the hover text for Debate & Discussion reads, "A chill place where you can come in and have a nice chat among friends." (!)

I talked to a friend who owns a comic/game store, and she said she knows several people who have purchased external battery pack/chargers for their phones, just so they can keep playing Pokemon Go even after they exhaust the battery in their phone.

Last evening I went for a walk in our little neighborhood park, and I saw someone playing the game. I think he must have created a hotspot, because within a few minutes several other people arrived, phones in hand, trying to catch a Pokemon. This is in a residential neighborhood in a college town that is very quiet in the summertime, when all the university students are gone. There was a very colorful sunset at the time, but I'm not sure any of them noticed it.

Of course, I'm an old guy who still uses a flip phone with a user replaceable battery, so perhaps I'm biased. Every so often I feel like living in the present is like visiting a foreign country where I don't know the language or the customs.

I just hope my (future) pension fund bought a big block of Nintendo stock before Pokemon Go was released. Capitalism Ho!
