I really need to find some decent bitters around here. While we have a ton and a half of good beers, and some quite nice brown ales, stouts, and porters, bitters seem harder to come by stateside.I think it was a Subway in the early 2000'ssymphonicpoet wrote: ↑May 03, 2022^I'm recalling it being near, but not in the old student commons where Edison is located. Was it in the building that was demolished to build the underground lot and the Danforth center?
I'd say sometime around 2000.dweebe wrote: ↑May 04, 2022I know it's the wrong thread, but it was part of our same discussion: when did SLU bulldoze Clark's down?
Clark's closed mid 90's - the building became a coffee shop for about a year (in the days when hip coffee shops were novel) - The building was torn down when they shut down Laclede and built the "campus" including the obelisk - I am going to say about 97 or 98.dweebe wrote: ↑May 04, 2022Friends and I were talking about the Rathskeller a few weeks ago and we argued as to when it closed. We were trying to put it at 1997ish.

Ha! I am sure they did - but it was big adventure at 19Laife Fulk wrote: ↑May 10, 2022The bartenders absolutely knew what was up lol. All plausible deniability.

haha, actually it is kind of typical.
Of course its such an opaque process that they can pretty much decide to give the prize to whomever they choose and then find a body of work on which to justify it. Interesting fact. Albert Einstein didn't win his prize in 1921 for the Theory of Relativity apparently because of antisemitism and was given it retroactively a year later for his description of the Photoelectric Effect as sort of a consolation because of the pushback among the community of scientists. Both those discoveries were made in 1905.Nobel's will provided for prizes to be awarded in recognition of discoveries made "during the preceding year". Early on, the awards usually recognized recent discoveries. However, some of those early discoveries were later discredited. For example, Johannes Fibiger was awarded the 1926 Prize in Physiology or Medicine for his purported discovery of a parasite that caused cancer. To avoid repeating this embarrassment, the awards increasingly recognized scientific discoveries that had withstood the test of time. According to Ralf Pettersson, former chairman of the Nobel Prize Committee for Physiology or Medicine, "the criterion 'the previous year' is interpreted by the Nobel Assembly as the year when the full impact of the discovery has become evident."
