    Metal Aeropress filter without metal taste?

    i doubt the filter is imparting any metal flavors... metal filters do not hold on to oils like the paper ones, so that's probably what the reviewers are tasting... it just so happens I recently bought an aeropress with able brewing metal filters. Once i give it a run through with paper I'll...

    Anyone versed in travelling to Tokyo?

    Tokyo is an _awesome_ place for doing just that. In fact, me and my wife sometimes just hop on a train and get off at a random stop to see what the area is like. We're always finding interesting little spots... my wife is Japanese and I speak it, but you will be fine pretty much anywhere you...

    Anyone versed in travelling to Tokyo?

    I've lived in Tokyo for the past 4 years. Stay here: http://en.parkhoteltokyo.com/ it's the best bang for buck. ~120 USD/night but awesome hotel and great location. Easy access to Tokyo station for the bullet train to Kyoto The station itself is near a number of main lines so easy to get to...

    I've absolutely had it with store bought POS routers. Want to build my own.

    are they all wireless? you need to consider the layer-1/2 here. that router/ap has to do a lot of 'crowd control' and error correction. not a big deal for a proper AP, but a crapper home one might fall over with all that + the burden of routing your internet traffic. anyways... grab a cheap...

    I have 1Gbps internet, should I be getting a Cat6 cable?

    there are still people here on adsl/vdsl, but mainly do to choice or old infra in big buildings. although i read the wiki and NTT's FTTH adoption is at 76%, which is pretty high. anyways.... 1gb is nice. really nice. however, it doesn't matter if the server at the other end or network...

    I've absolutely had it with store bought POS routers. Want to build my own.

    you're wireless router is actually three different things. a router, a switch and a wireless ap. Most home use routers suck and have issues which you speak of. however, a lot of them work great just as APs or they even sell AP only variants. All the AP needs to do is act as a hub for the...

    I have 1Gbps internet, should I be getting a Cat6 cable?

    It's 2gb across the ONU. The interface to provider is fiber (GPON) so that's 2gb+ easy. For home users, they provide a gateway with 1gb ports + wifi. So, the total bandwidth across all the devices connect is supposed to be 2gb. Of course, no single device will get more than 1gb. Their...

    another vote for pfsense. been using it for almost 10 years now... it rocks, to say the least. the only thing is wireless drivers for freebsd are hit and miss. i've never bothered with it and just offload my wireless to an AP.

    domain names (long.com vs short.sh)

    Simple question for a friend who's looking to buy a domain name (he has a fairly common last name and all the 'good' ones are taken) FirstInitialMiddleInitialLastName.com (ex: jksmith.com) ~$12/yr vs. lastename.sh (ex: smith.sh) ~$60/yr I kind of like .sh because it's nerdy and shorter...

    Serious drinkers: How did you learn to appreciate drinks "neat"?

    my best advice is to educate yourself and then experiment. A lot of the time you find something you don't like is because the person serving it to you doesnt know what they are doing. Also, being in the right mindset helps. You tube 'ralfy' for a never-ending barrage of whisky reviews and...

    Can a scotch expert chime in?

    how much do you like the burn & are you drinking straight or with a drop of something? Ardbeg hails a lot of attention, and I myself like it alright, but it is definitely harsh and smokey. If that's what you're after, go for it. I also like Talisker. A bit smoother and easier to drink, but...
