But none of those (that I know of anyway) specify you have to be 18; the exception is some combination of parental consent, private location, medical or religious reasons, etc.
That's the point. You can't purchase alcohol in the US prior to being 21, but there are lots of situations where consumption by someone under 21 is allowed.
I've seen people proposing that allowing children to consume alcohol with their parents permission would help with the binge drinking culture, but that's already legal in 35 states[1]. So I posted my (slightly pedantic) earlier comment out of a belief that this is something that is not widely understood.
interesting alternative if you have a decent python version! However I need to say that Python+request lib has historically bugs (which are resolved in newer python 2.7.9+ versions). For example I had problems with SSL SNI certificates with older python versions and CURL and WGET don't have this problems on older Linux distributions. Last year I also had a lot of headache because of this in Ansible (Python + request lib based): https://github.com/ansible/ansible-modules-core/issues/1716#...
So I bet more on curl than python+request lib
Good point. Same problem with old versions of Java.
I had problems with Voxeo's Java IVR web service calling back to my https server using SNI, since they were apparently using some old Java http client libraries [1], or not using the new ones correctly.
I had the darnedest time figuring out what was going wrong, and when I finally did, they weren't responsive to the suggestion they upgrade their library and fix their code to support SNI, so I had to punch an insecure hole for them to call back through.
They should have named it Shemp, although in an alternate universe, Hackett might have been a good replacement too. [1]
I for one always pronounce WWW "woo woo woo"! [2]
>Moe asked older brother Shemp to take Curly's place, but Shemp was hesitant to rejoin the Stooges as he was enjoying a successful solo career. He realized, however, that not rejoining the Stooges would mean the end of Moe's and Larry's film careers. Shemp wanted assurance that rejoining them would be only temporary, and that he could leave the Stooges once Curly recovered. However, Curly's health continued to deteriorate, and it became clear that he couldn't return. The Stooges turned to comedian Buddy Hackett as a replacement, but Hackett declined, and Shemp remained a Stooge. Curly remained ill until his death of a cerebral hemorrhage from additional strokes on January 18, 1952.
The thing I like about wget is that I can download with 'wget <url>' and it usually just works. With curl I need to type the file name in again and pipe the output.
