Fellow Ohio Hokie! Touring Rhinegeist is pretty high on the bucketlist, seems like a fun place. Their Ink stout and Truth are both delicious.

I'm in Cleveland, love Hop JuJu but I get the sniffles like I just took a whiff of pollen. My boss sent a text of a keg of he managed to finagle (he was very proud of his procurement). He's going to need some help a month into that.
Love playing cornhole and Ping Pong at Rhinestone. I wish more of our breweries got wise to it.
I'll try to find some! Thanks for the recommendation
I initially thought this was a TKP brewing contest. Maybe for the Liberty game tailgate?
Ocelot did a collaboration with Meridian Pint called Talking Backwards. Had something like 100 ponds of a trio of hops. If you like well balanced IPAs that was one of the best I've had in a while. Alcohol crept in too. Very smooth beer.
Some of the others I have are from a client who is hoping to open his brewery soon. He gets very scientific with the hops and likes to play with experimentals.
It's a couple metro stops away for me. Or a quick jaunt in a Car2Go. May check Stub Hub for tix.
An awful lot of rights were added much later, many of which were needed at the time, but there is a lot that could be done improve the process. There are certain levels of proof that should have fewer appeal options, and others where the evidence is circumstantial enough the death sentence should not be an option.
It's actually in sales tax now in VA.
Living in Greensboro area, and having gone, the most common way to get tickets is to go arena with cash when first round is played, bring a need tickets sign, wear VT gear so people don't think your scalping, and buy the rest of a book of tickets off people coming out in losing team gear. Especially if there is an upset. You can also get single game tix from fans of teams that have a bye second round if you start asking early and often.
Let's see how Kendrick pans out...he sends to be getting better with every album going back to K Dot.
Another trend I've noticed is that after some commercial success the artist gets way too abstract and fans shy away from it.
Blu after Below the Heavens and Lupe Fiasco...to name a few.
I'm waiting for the album to be released on Spotify (kanye pls)
The tracks that I have heard so far have been dope though:
No more parties in LA - Kendrick Lamar, by far, is my favorite artist and he absolutely killed it. Kanye channeled his inner Late Registration/Graduation flow and I love it.
Real friends - love the production on this one. This track would've fit perfectly on MBDTF.
Not sure of the name of the track but it features Young Thug. ...I'm not a fan of YT in the slightest, but the track is still enjoyable
I hope he knocks it out the park with this album
They left UNC students in charge to do this as a class project.
Ever notice they've never been spotted in the same place
I assume Miami's is the smallest. Listed capacity is 7972.
Beamers BCS bowl win
Plan B always stressed me out waaaaaaaay too much. Now the reason for using it was pretty cool, so maybe its a toss up.
I'm fairly certain a person driving on the roads has paid taxes, fairly hefty taxes are added to the purchase price of fuel
Bullets are both cheap and a violation of the Constitution.
The reason the death penalty is so expensive is because of the liberties that were bestowed by the Framers.
Relax guys it was a joke of some sorts. But it is truly rediculous what it costs to incarcerate people in this country. I don't know what the answer is. It would be nice not to have people break the law but I don't think that's gonna change. Too many people with too much time on their hands playing fast and loose. Everyone should get married and they wouldn't have time to do the things they enjoy let alone get into trouble.
Some people don't pay taxes, and if you try to guilt them into not driving on the roads they just look at you with a funny expression and drive around. They could deprive themselves, but why?
If a person who makes music for a living gets overexposed to the point we're hearing it for free, then bless their little soul.
I spend a lot of money on music because I can. Some people don't.
But the only reason you should go out on the highway is if you're going somewhere.
Take me, for example. I don't like Kanye, either, and about the time I realized this wasn't a thread about Radiohead, I thought to myself "man, I sure have no business posting here"...
Took my three girls to chic fila while the wife worked.
Sorry but if I am going to trust my government to kill a citizen, or even just a resident, I want every single legal avenue exhausted to ensure the decision was both arrived at properly, and fairly.
If that means it costs more so be it, you get what you pay for.
Jesus H. Christ that's a truly ignorant view. People bad enough to warrant the death penalty are scumbags no doubt, but they still have constitutional rights. That's where most of the cost is incurred. Trials are expensive. Death penalty trials are even more expensive than most, not to mention the fact that they generally result in more appeals, thus further increasing the cost. And during all these trials and appeals, the taxpayer must pay to feed, clothe, and shelter that person, with the shelter being much more costly than if they were sentenced to anything but death row. The price of bullets has zero bearing on this conversation.
In almost every state, seeking the death penalty requires a great deal more from the prosecution than would be needed just for a conviction, so the last portion of your comment is already the reality. But I strenuously object to the idea of limiting appeal options. If the system is going to deprive of a person of liberty, and especially if they are going to seek to deprive life, then there must be near certainty that they are entirely justified in doing so. We're the last truly civilized society that employs the death penalty, and when we choose to use it, that choice must be beyond reproach. I'll say that I am biased, because I aim to be a prosecutor, and I do tend to favor the death penalty when it is warranted, but we MUST utilize a principled approach to its application. Otherwise it amounts to little more than government-sanctioned murder.
