Wild that dentist doesn’t have any restrictions but doctor does.

I know in my state NA beer is still considered to be beer. Have to be 21 to purchase, need a liquor license to sell it, etc.

As I recall it’s because the definition of beer in the state statute defines beer as a fermented drink with certain criteria like wheat, barley, hops, etc. as ingredients, and alcohol content not being one of the criteria.

It actually meant a local sober bar (a bar-like place that only serves NA drinks) had to go through the hassle and expense of getting a liquor license.

I was thinking that, too, but prior to the Sun becoming a white dwarf, the Sun is predicted to expand and swallow Earth (and Venus and Mercury), so the Sun’s mass will increase. Assuming the Sun’s expansion lasts long enough to result in those planets being vaporized I would think that additional mass would go back in when the Sun contracts into a white dwarf.

Additionally this will mess up the orbital mass of the solar system so I could see how more asteroids (maybe even a planet?) could get dislodged from its orbit and eventually get swallowed by a dense white dwarf.

But yeah, if the sun just instantly went to a white dwarf from its current state then orbits would probably stay pretty similar. It’s the process in between that could cause some chaos.

I think they used to wax the cardboard. Maybe they still do?
