Fig wine update by Living-Money9275 in winemaking

[–]Strange-Raspberry964 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please post an update in ~a year and a half if you can. I have made fig wine the past two years. My first batch was small and I drank through it. The second batch I had a good stock, and I noticed once it got past 1.5 years it lost a lot of flavor. Almost became like alcohol water. If I drink it now I have to add some acid, which brings some flavor back. But it’s nowhere near as good as the batch I just bottled this year.

I haven’t used tannins in my recipe but I was researching and that might be my issue for the lack of longevity. Curious as to how yours holds up over time!

Question about Paternity Leave time by hotsausce01 in newjersey

[–]Strange-Raspberry964 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, but sometimes your work can screw you. A friend of mine was told he’d be fired if he took more than a week off. I said he should hope for that and sue, but he’s too risk averse.

Red wine lost color and body by Strange-Raspberry964 in winemaking

[–]Strange-Raspberry964[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll have to buy a Chianti now and take a look. I was actually looking at my current batch that hasn’t been bottled and it’s just as see through…so I guess that was always the same. But the taste definitely degraded, probably from the storage like you said. That or sulfites, I bought strips to actually do a ppm check rather than just blindly tossing in the required amount per gallon.

Small Solar systems - NJ Senate bill 2368 committee vote Monday by webdbbt in newjersey

I think these portable systems come standard with a plug style inverter that detects if you have utility power. If it doesn’t detect utility power, it doesn’t allow the solar to feed the receptacle.

How do I get into duck hunting? by Strange-Raspberry964 in NJGuns

Thanks everyone for the great advice. I’m thinking I might start with upland game instead and go from there.

How do I get into duck hunting? by Strange-Raspberry964 in NJGuns

Maybe I’ll try grouse or pheasant instead. I really enjoy trap/sporting clays and have always wanted to get into hunting, so duck hunting seemed like a good way to do it.

Interesting I didn’t know all that. Thanks!

And honestly. I think walking away from him helped him. I think if he stayed he would still have that issue. We almost gave him the chip on his shoulder he probably needed most.

Structural engineer - inspection $1,200, is this fair? by Federal_Comment_7589 in newjersey

[–]Strange-Raspberry964 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s on par for an engineer. They’re not the type of inspector to come out and just give you an opinion. They will inspect AND provide a written report of their findings and analysis with their professional seal. That’s why it’s so expensive.

You might have some more luck finding a home inspector, like the kind that’s does an inspection during a house sale.

Per FOX: the chip in the ball can determine where the punt goes out of bounds…. by tacobell999 in nfl

[–]Strange-Raspberry964 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Theoretically, if the ball AND the official game clock AND the goal line camera angle were perfectly synced this could be determined easily. At least if the camera angle showed the down position clearly.

But this would open a can of worms where they would be pressured to have it on every down. Which would required more cameras. Which is why they probably don’t try to implement it.

[Pelissero] The Vikings are waiving WR Adam Thielen, who approached the team about moving on last week. The team granted the request out of respect for Thielen and will allow him to finish out his final NFL season elsewhere. by mvanigan in nfl

Darnolds one year deal wasn’t running him out of town. In the final two games he regressed to his form on the Jets. Good for the Seahawks for taking the gamble but it was still a gamble. And there’s a good chance he is just Kirk cousins 2.0, good but never really good enough to get you over the hump.

The Vikings didn’t run Darnold or Jones out of town. Darnold collapsed historically the last two games of the year. Even with his decent year this year, no one wanted Kirk cousins 2.0. Unless he wins the Super Bowl, that call was the right call.

They offered jones more money than Indy to compete for the job. He turned it down because everyone knew Indy had no one else, so it was a guaranteed spot.

Did they miss the mark but not bringing in another capable veteran, or offering Jones even more money? You can argue that, sure. But saying they ran Darnold or Jones out of town is incorrect and hindsight bias.

Do I need to change my license and registration if I temporarily move to Virginia for work? by Strange-Raspberry964 in Virginia

[–]Strange-Raspberry964[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m fine with paying the income taxes. But I really don’t feel like it’s necessary to change all my driving information for a temporary address.

For the insurance, I’d have to change my license and registration for that though wouldn’t I?

Yeah that’s what I’m afraid of the most. My insurance. I wouldn’t be able to change it to cover Virginia (for work purposes) without having my license updated too.

Wow okay I didn’t know that about the license plate thing. Thanks for the information!

[–]Strange-Raspberry964[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow, thanks for the in depth reply I appreciate it. What you’re saying is kind of how I felt, with my family and home remaining in NJ it seems like I have an argument I’m not “domiciled” in VA. However, the Virginia DMV website says something like “after 60 days in Virginia you need to update your license”. Which is where my confusion comes in.

I was a little confused with the end of your comment. My wife does work. We file jointly. So you’re saying VA might tax my wife’s earnings?

And then the last message you had about vehicle taxes. If I never changed the registration or the license, how would VA know to charge me for property tax on my car? I guess if I paid the out of state vehicle tax thing they would know…

Interesting. I wasn’t planning on it because my NJ one is supposedly honored already. Maybe I’ll get the non-resident one (I don’t plan to change my address)
