Well, the point is that denatured alcohol would not exist if it were not for the desire to tax alcohol consumption. For every other use, plain ethanol is preferable. It's only when you want to create two classes of ethanol "for consumption", "not for consumption", as a way to limit consumption without affecting the non consumptive uses, that denatured alcohol is useful.

Scratch lotto can be claimed out of state... at least in my experience.

I live in Utah (no scratch lotto), last time I drove through Montana I picked up a string of scratch lotto tickets just to keep us occupied on the road...had about four winners... mailed them to the Montana lottery board and they sent my check to Utah, where all forms of gambling are totally forbidden by law.

Of course, this could vary by state - but I would guess that it's the purchase of scratch lotto that's illegal, not the redemption of ones legally purchased.

Same here, still offline atm.

Sometimes it seems to be available via tor2web, but using "tor-browser_en-US" from torprojekt.org I still get a timeout. Yesterday a friend of mine, living in a different state of Germany using the same package (only 4 windows, instead of linux)got on the site.

Is that a tor-related problem?

Unconfirmed.

I tried 4 times on different weekdays, and it always works for me.
Stop using tor2web, install a proper tor like everyone else.

I saw this and it bothered me. I found I had the same problem, perplexing. Now I have a solution. Check your logs (see vidalia "advanced" tab). Look for time errors. Looks like tor doesn't handle DST changes well.

I restarted tor, and now I can connect to this, and some other sites that I was having issues with. Oh, before you restart, check your system time!

I am, actually. It's worked fine for me up until now, but I've not been able to connect all night. I either get a TTL expired error or a blank page in firefox, and my tor log is full of "[notice] Tried for 120 seconds to get a connection to [scrubbed]:80. Giving up. (waiting for circuit)"

I just tried successfully to connect to some other tor hidden sites like the hidden wiki. Hopefully it's just a temporary problem.

Thanks for this awesome idea, silkroad.  I am so impressed, I promoted it on my national radio program tonight.  Hope you don't mind the publicity.

I was able to access the site last night, but now am getting: 504 Connect to ianxz6zefk72ulzz.onion:80 failed: SOCKS error: host unreachable

I am using the Tor Browser as your site suggests.

Looking forward to hearing more positive experiences from users.

I get that sometimes but I usually just refresh and it's okay. Of course, I only visit out of curiosity and ever buy anything, okay, DEA?
