The Lounge 0001 [From the Beginning]

Only in WI usually. Hell I could get booze at the gas station in WI lmao. Because yes that’s a thing.
In MN that wasnt a thing especially not at target until now I guess lol

Yeah, been to WI for a brief moment when I was in chicago, went to see the lake and stopped to get gas. quite a few of those states through there from mine have the hard booze in the stores. Beer is available pretty much everywhere though.

Relic from prohibition

Yeah, NY still has these. Can’t sell alcohol between 2 and 8 or 9 am iirc. Been a few years since I worked retail. Beer is available basically anywhere, some grocery stores have a little bit of wine, but if you want a good selection of wine or harder stuff like rum/gin/vodka/etc. then you have to go to a liquor store.

Pppfffft. That was 1800s stuff lol. Waayy before prohibition, back when everyone went to church on Sunday so it was illegal to drink that day.

No many of those laws were created just before prohibition they’re what lead to prohibition

Yep.
Meanwhile in WI there’s no annoying laws like that for drinking because WI was founded by drinkers lol (aka northern Europe and like Germans and poles, so on)

Only kindof related one is that All the bars have to be closed by 2am but that makes sense so. Also that is more a city to city thing but still

Such as the Halo 2 Limited Collectors Edition? (which can be found dirt cheap even today)

I noticed a while ago that new releases on vinyl become more and more common, although the price is sometimes double that of the CD.
An ongoing audio drama series even releases cassettes.

That’s the time where develop an interest in expensive hobbies but don’t have any money for it (or at least for the good stuff).

Are you a speaker or a headphone guy?

we also have that here along with drive-through liquor stores

Here you can buy alcohol basically anywhere and there is no restriction on when you can buy it. almost every grocery shop and supermarket has aisles full of the stuff so we don’t really have liquor stores because every store pretty much is one.

I have a pair of HD 558 I’ve been using for the past few years

Some are some not. Like the technically not being able to drive red trucks because firetrucks used to just be trucks that were red and modified from normal trucks in the early days of automotives. I guess that’s kind of a close date wise but its for a different thing so meh?

There’s a few that are really ancient but a lot of those were gotten rid of over the years so is whatever

they dont even really ask for ID because you never set foot in the store

There’s a few of those here but not a massive amount. Mostly because the one that was here was in a terrible place so it went out of business a few years back.
