I have a server install of Quickbooks 2013, with a company database. If I install Quickbooks 2014 on a user's computer, will they be able to open that Quickbooks 2013 file without a problem? If they save it, will a user with Quickbooks 2013 still be able to work with it?

Most clubs (read: any good club) will need a membership fee and your subscription to the archery society that's basically liability insurance. They'll also need to see that you've done a beginners course. Unfortunately all that lot will exceed your budget, yearly. The bonus if that any good club will lend you gear until you figure out what gear suits you best. In fact most clubs will strongly discourage you from buying gear until you've tried all the bow types for a few weeks.

:backtowork:
I walk a very slow dog, so I notice things that no normal person would because I get so bored while he sniffs a patch of nothing for minutes on end. One thing is, on car wheels there's often a strange relation between the bolts (lugs? I'm not a car otaku) and the "spokes" of the hubcaps. GM vehicles mostly (?) have 5 bolts and 5 spokes, on Toyotas there's a lot of variation but often 5/7. I've seen 4/5 but I don't remember on what, and I've seen 4/6, 6/5... if you get super bored walking your dawdly dog, you start to think about making a wiki of this kind of thing. Is there some engineering reason for this? I suspect no, since the hubcaps are ornamental and the spokes are a skeuomorph. I imagine 4 bolts is a minimum for structural reasons, and 6 bolts max for reasons of space and time spent if you need to take the thing off... ah, I guess I've answered my own stupid question. It just struck me that if someone was designing a hubcap it would be easier if the number of spokes was some multiple of the number of bolts.

I'll just post this anyway in case a hubcap designer is lurking and wants to divulge some trade secrets.

According to what I remember from a scene in Her, juicing means you lose the fibre. But the character who said this was also a douche, so take what I say with a grain of salt.

Take the fruit juice with salt too. On the rim. Fruit mixed with cointreau and tequila.

Yes, you look super fat in that coat.

e: Whoa buddy, according to this totally legitimate food blog I just found you've gotta be loving careful with this juicing poo poo! You'll probably die. You should just eat some chicken wings instead.

Juicing vs. Blending: Which one is better? posted:

A word of caution: When you remove the fiber from the produce, the liquid juice is absorbed into your blood stream quickly. If you are only juicing fruits, this would cause a rapid spike in blood sugar and unstable blood sugar levels can lead to mood swings, energy loss, memory problems and more!

I find this discussion incredibly bland and disinteresting.

the posted:

Why are streams of the world cup like a minute behind what's on TV? Like, technologically what's the reason?

One of the more popular ways to "stream" video is to break it down into chunks, and then allow a computer to download each chunk and stitch them back together. So the absolute minimum amount of lag is the length of a single chunk - you can't download it until the transcoder creates a chunk and uploads it to a server somewhere. Chunks are typically 2 to 10 seconds long, depending on use case. Bigger chunks are easier on the streamer, but result in more lag.

On top of that, the internet is defined as a "best effort" system to transport information. Unlike TV, there are dropped-packets, bad connections, and variable lag. The protocols behind streaming technology are aware of this, so they're built to work with a "buffer" - playback doesn't start until your player has enough chunks that it is confident that, if your connection speed goes to poo poo for a few seconds, it'll still have enough video to give you a smooth playback experience.

A standard streaming delay is around 30 seconds. A very good streaming delay is about 8 seconds. You can get it down to 3-5 seconds if you're using non-chunked formats, but those formats have numerous technical drawbacks that make them unattractive to streamers.

I don't know if there's like a more specialised thread for this, but what can you use to disinfect night mouthguards without damaging them? I mean, seriously disinfect. These are mouthguards that my dentist made for me to protect my teeth when I clench/grind them in my sleep. One half went missing five months ago due to the bloody cats, so I've been using the other half. But I accidentally left that on holiday a couple weeks ago and I'm still waiting to organise to have those mailed back to me.

Through sheer luck I actually managed to find the first half of the mouthguard earlier today, the bit that went missing 5 months ago, but it had been sitting underneath the washing machine covered in lost cat food and dust and probably cat poo poo particles and god knows what else. I need to clean the gently caress out of it before I put it back in my mouth, but when I first got them the dentist said just to clean them with toothpaste and a toothbrush. That obviously won't be enough for this go, but what can I use? I no longer live in the same country as that dentist and I wouldn't trust the dentists here to get my coffee order right, so I'm turning to the internet for advice.

Bleach is presumably too strong. Floor disinfectant just seems kind of like a weird thing to be using on something like that. Same for washing up liquid. What can I use to clean/disinfect it, without damaging the mouthguard too much? Some sort of rubbing alcohol - can I soak it in that without destroying the material? (I have no idea what type of material it is)

Modern detergents are so concentrated and strong that they'll go to work on the glazing on plates and such if they don't have bits of food and grease to work on. That's what I've heard, anyway.

I think some dishwashers have a sensor that prevents dishes getting cleaned longer than necessary and wasting water, so rinsing them off may tell the washer to quit too soon. My mom used to work with a lady who pre-rinsed to the point where the dishes were spotless, then painted a ketchup/mustard mixture onto the rinsed plates because otherwise her dishwasher wouldn't activate for them.

That is a true story of a real person.

That probably spends on the type of dishwasher. I know mine apparently can't handle certain types of food so it's worth giving those a scrub beforehand.

It's also going to depend on how long your dishes are going to spend in the dishwasher before you activate it. If you're a single person running it once every one or two weeks or whatever, you better pre-rinse that poo poo or everything is going to have some dried up caked on crap on it that the dishwasher can't remove.

I get this stuff and add a little in with the detergent when I run the dishwasher. Turns what would be cloudy chalky glass into the sparkly clean stuff you see in dishwasher commercials. I can pick up one of these canisters at the local grocery stores so it's not an online-only thing too.

I'm fairly sure the only active ingredient in the thing is citric acid, so there may be a cheaper or alternative method for the same effect.

My guess is that a manufacturing defect is making for poor contact with the heat sink and so the fan simply must run to keep it cooled, and that manually changing this may fry your pc and possibly void your warranty. I'd suggest getting it repaired under warranty.

If your water is really hard you probably want a whole house water softener, which will solve a lot more than your glasses being spotty. My water was very hard and a softner was the single best purchase I've made for my house. You just don't realize how poorly soap works and how must junk in your sink is actually from your water (and how badly it scales up your water heater) if you've grown accustomed to hard water.
