The amount of change in a scotch whiskey is absolutely tiny after it has been put in a bottle. There are almost no reagents available in a normal bottle with there being a tiny amount in the air trapped under the lid / cap / cork and the tiny tiny tiny amount of tannin that was leached out of the timber during ageing. If this was a glass vial I expect the air quantity to be even lower.
The only real changes you may get are where the bottle goes through too wide a heat range and as a result pushes and pulls air past the seal.
Note this is different from say Bourbon which does age in the bottle, in particular because it still has a high tannin level when bottled. Taking the example of your cherry infusion you have introduced a significant amount of sugar to the mix and a number of reagents so it is much more inline with a wine then a distillate spirit at the time you bottle it.
I've actually struggled a bit with using win10 but I think that was because I didn't use win 8 at all so had no training in the metro stuff. Work is 100% linux and I use mint as my main work horse at home. That said it means my expectations of windows are very low, turn on, start steam, play game, shutdown. I just decided to install it because I could.
Not a true contingency but steam is an easy drm to circumvent if you need to. Quite often the extra DRM games come with is a lot worse than the steam one and some of the steam games are DRM free, it is just they come delivered via steam and you tend to launch them via steam. You can launch those directly from the executable if you so desire (Prison Architect, & Gnomoria are two examples).
I have come full circle on steam. When it first appeared I was super anti it and extremely pissed that HL2 needed it. Especially since I only had a dialup connection at that time. Now I am sold on the steam experience, I can't remember the last time I bought a physical media game, I like steam streaming and I like that my games are kept up to date with no effort from me.
As for a console however I don't see an online only setup working for me anytime soon. Consoles are too casual for me. I want to plug it in and play it NOW. I have an xbox 360 and it spend 99% of its time in a cupboard, and I occasionally get it out, play some tekken against a mate and put it away again. If it needed 4 hours to get a game before I can play it just isn't happening.
Personal suggestion. Get yourself a low powered atom based machine and run pfsense on it. Yes you will have a steeper learning curve but the outcome is better. Depending on what your internet connection actually is will depend on whether you need dual gigabit nics or whether you can get away with a USB ethernet dongle. There are a gazillion mini-itx atom boards with dual nics or you can buy something pre-made such as http://www.amazon.com/Intel-Fa...
You are looking at an investment of a couple of hundred all up but you will spend $100+ for a decent router anyway.
PfSense isn't too bad to learn and the default install options are pretty good. Even without a strong linux knowledge you should be up and running and happy in a couple of hours.
I'm not even sure it is particularly condescending as it is overly familiar / fake. It is also the pretending my machine is a person.....
Actually I just went and found the exact wording. "We'll schedule a restart during a time you usually don't use your device (right now 3:30 AM tomorrow looks good)."
Firstly, who the fuck is we? Is this like the royal We? Or does the fact that my computer has a multi-core cpu now mean that it has multiple personas inside that need to agree and they are on a par with humans?
I know this is stupid. But one of the things I don't like about Windows 10 is how it talks to me. Christ I must be getting old but I HATE the fake "I'm trying to talk to you like a friend" language that seems to pervade the system.
One that actually made my blood boil was the "restart needed due to updates" language. I'm paraphrasing here but it was something like "Hi, I need to schedule a restart of windows to complete the upgrade. I was think about a time you don't really seem to use your computer much. How does 3am sound?"
I obviously have some wiring wrong but that just annoys me so so much.
Tablets win in a couple of places. First as pure media consumption devices, casual web surfing in the lounge or bed is much better on a tablet. Watching movies and tv on a tablet is also better, less heat and lighter.
Another one is you are also more likely to throw your tablet in the car then you are to take your laptop. I don't tend to move my laptop unless I am explicitly planning on needing it at the destination. So when I end up at the in laws and they are having network issues I have my tablet with useful tools installed.
The last one is I use my tablet as a notebook substitute. When I meet with clients I take my notes with a stylus on my tablet, this then syncs with my work machine via onenote. While a paper book works well I found the ability to save my written notes against my client files was brilliant. Saved me typing them up and ended up being more complete.
I have a nexus 9 as well. So far so good from my perspective. My only complaint is matt layer on the back of mine has peeled shockingly badly so my tablet looks old and shit despite not being that.
Add into this mix a cheap tape drive. I have an old LTO-3 drive which I picked a pair up off ebay for $100. New media is still easy to find. Every 3 months or so I make a new tape and take it to my parents.
I am assuming in this case though that you aren't actually backing up 9TB of photos and family vids.
Holy shit the water quality in your area must suck. I know a few people who have a water filter but they would be the minority and it is usually because they got a fridge with the built in water chiller.
I don't get a tax credit as I don't live in the US and our tax system doesn't have an equivalent. Personally though I would have no issue in removing any payments / benefits associated with having children. There are payments in Australia for having kids but they are means tested, meaning I did not qualify for them.
Why? Timber is a great option for heating your house. It is cheap, renewable and if you live on acreage it is often free. I haven't had to buy timber in the 10 years I have lived here. I have gotten away completely with dropped timber and wood from trees that fell or had to be removed for safety.
If only $3k made any kind of meaningful impact to the cost of a child your plan might work. But when you are looking at 10k in medical costs if you have a caesarian section, $500 to $1k for your pram & baby seat and losing 1 income stream for a period I don't think your 3k makes fuck all of a difference.
Lets not even talk about the cost of reproductive assistance such as IVF.
It depends on the type of forest, the quality of the underlying soil and the weather in that location. Rainforest dirt tends to be of a very very poor quality and the trees and other plants live of the detritus dropped by other plants and animals. Also those areas tend to have higher levels of rainfall, in particular monsoon weather.
So if you clear old growth rainforest you end up with a poor quality soil, that often has what little nutrient in it washed away by rains. This mud is then baked hard and it is very very difficult for things to grow. I guess eventually you will get the regrowth, but in rainforests near me the cleared sections are still clear over 100 years later, despite being surrounded by old growth.
Fair enough. I would be interested to see how it pans out because my car is a c200 mercedes and they quote the auto at 6l/100km and the manual at 5.7/100km. (I own the auto)
As for the reliability manuals are easier to fix and you can drive around the problems but they are more likely to break, mainly by user error ie riding the clutch / not maintaining it properly and bad gear shifts. Autos tend to just last and last and last but when they do fail you are in trouble.
Chlorine is a good option. This is just a stupid study. They took tap water and added this microbe then waited to see how long it took to die.
The water treatment systems kill these microbes before they go into the pipe network so you are looking for somewhere else that these things can get into the network. Once you add the low risk of contamination anyway with the fact that 24hrs in the system will kill them it is a non issue.
Ozone is pretty much universal in any modern treatment plant. It just doesn't last when put into the pipes so the water is open to recontamination as it goes through the system. These systems are far from sealed.
I'm more concerned about fire than any other risk. Where I live break ins are really really rare, as is crime of any kind really, so the thing I worry about is fire. So I have extra smoke detectors fitted and I have made my eldest (5) learn how to get out if there is a fire and all the doors are locked. And that causes you to have some interesting choices. She didn't have the strength to turn the key in the dead bolt meaning she couldn't open the front door and she struggled enough with the security screen doors on the other window it gave us real concerns about her managing it in a stress situation. Fortunately her room is on the ground floor and has a full length sash window that was easy to show her how to open and get out of. Of course I may regret that when she is 15....
No I don't believe they will. What exactly are the security issues? 99% of baby monitors are pointed at a cot and show nothing more than the inside of the cot, you can't see anything else. You can't see points of entry, you can't see the rest of the room and you are unlikely to be able to identify which room you are looking at. At absolute best you MIGHT be able to see when there is no one home but you sure as hell wouldn't trust the baby monitor to hear the rest of a house.
As for privacy they will get a shit house picture and some poor audio of a baby crying or a baby sleeping. Usually in B&W, with slow frame rates, and an IR light causing everything to look weird. Nothing else is going to be done infront of that camera. No changing of babies, no accidental shots of you in the nude, nothing.
People don't buy baby monitors for security. That is what their door locks and motion sensors are for and a baby monitor does nothing to help someone defeat those.

I have to wear a suit most days for work and the pockets on those will hold my nexus 9.... Let alone my phone.
When it comes to phones I haven't ever found one that doesn't just slide into my pocket, whether I am wearing jeans, or trousers or shorts.

Thanks, interesting.
I always forget the US EPA has those measures.
That said you couldn't convince me to buy a manual car anyway. Cars for me are just a way to get from point A to B. I will keep my bike as my fun toy.
Are you suggesting having an ozone treatment system fitted to every house, every water fountain, every tap in the country?
