    I wouldn't think it don't go bad in a keg.

    I would want to check that out first before I did something like that. It's air getting in that is the thing and without a professional set up air is bound to get in.

    You can rent a good tap from the company your getting the keg from and they seal pretty good so no air would get in

    how long does a keg of beer keep for?

    just had an idea to order a party keg all to myself to last for the whole summer. iffn they'll deliver it :lol:

    Would you leave a bottle of beer out all summer? Maybe if you had a refrigerator that had enough room for the keg. I don't know, I'm not a beer drinker. And whenever I have seen or known of someone with a keg...it didn't last long.

    Based on my very limited experience with beer but slightly more experience watching "Bar Rescue" on TV, I believe you'll find out that beer does in fact "go bad" relatively quickly if not kept at around 40F. And once it's been tapped, of course, air gets in. Otherwise you'd never get anything out unless you have canisters of pressurized other gasses laying around your house. :coolsmirk:

    So, in summary. Beer is a food. Food spoils. Look before you leap. :blank:

    edited to add: Google is your friend. The summary answer to "how long does a keg of beer last" is: 4 months if purchased from a reputable and sanitary distributor, kept cold, and driven by pressurized CO2 through sanitary hoses & couplings.

    Perhaps it would be easier to drink the whole keg in one weekend and just take 4 months to recover? :cheese:

    Some friends and I put a quarter keg in the fridge while in college in '74. It didn't last long. But not because it spoiled. :lol:

    I decided to watch TV which I have not done in a long time but then my roommate complains and asks me to turn the TV off.

    ...well true to form my service from home is down. Had to spend 3$ for an Americano with steamed milk (the only way I can drink coffee anymore as brewed coffee is too acidic for me).

    Will only be able to do this for a few days until the little bit of cash I managed to scare up is gone.

    Also as I expected, I will have to pay the full billing amount to get service restored. so when I finally get the situation with the payments sorted out, it will eat up a good part of the cheque.

    I'm also down to under 4 minutes on my phone (without enough funds to recharge it) so I could be completely without any means to communicate or be contacted in a few days.

    Left another email last night and a call this morning (after wasting 15 min with Comcast). A little worried as I have received no contact from my resource for nearly two weeks now.

    May spare a couple $ for a last ditch lotto attempt tonight. Sad when something like that seems one's only hope. Even hitting 4 numbers would at least get me enough to pay the bill and recharge the phone Of course day seemed full bad omens, not only having my service cut off, but nearly getting thumped by a big 4x4 that seemed to come out of nowhere when I was crossing a street, and finally as I was setting up the notebook at the coffee shop noticing a young woman bend down and pick up what appeared to be a 10$ or 20$ bill that was on the ground next to a tree which I walked right past only moments beforehand.

    Yeah, just call me "Mr. Unlucky" I guess.

    ...I would suggest telling her to do something different, flying a kite is enjoyable pastime. Wish I could still go to the coast to do it.

    With all this doom & gloom lately I almost feel guilty about popping in here with twittery chipperness but I'm in this state so rarely that I need to share it.

    Whee... I found a new composer I'd never, ever, heard of and at least one of his pieces fascinates me. :-)

    John Field. Irish. Around the time of Beethoven. A heavy influence to Chopin who was several decades later. :smirk:

    Here's a YouTube Link to his 7th Piano Concerto

    ...performed a several of his Nocturnes and the 6 Dances.

    Chopin would have been 27 when Field died so they were almost contemporaries.

    Ach... you're right. I knew the music style reminded me of Chopin but I was thinking Debussy/Ravel time frame. Brain fart! :down::red:


    Beethoven..1770-----------------------------1827
    John Field ......1782---------------------------------1837
    Frederic Chopin.............................1810--------------------1849
    Claude Debussy.................................................................................1862--------------------------------------------1918
    Maurice Ravel ..............................................................................................................1875-----------------------------------------------1937

    Gad, I've outlived everyone of them! :coolcheese:

    Well gotta go, totally jazzed on caffeine and probably won't sleep well tonight. Time to go get a lotto ticket for tonight's draw.and a couple cheap beers to try and counter the caffeine.

    Downloaded Krita to transfer to the workstation so I can play with it when I get home later.

    Will see Y'all tomorrow as long as the cash holds out.

    Ported one of the figures to LW as a trial, took some fiddling with subdivision but might be worthwhile to do the rest if I can come up with some kind a grand composition scheme

    That's probably why ostrich bones are usually not found on old battlefields. %-P

    So it might work out in LW, a bit of work tho but I'm feeling a bit out of practice with big scenes so might give it a shot if I can come up with a decent composition like the Crofts painting, which I think is mislabelled as Waterloo but pretty sure it is Ligny

    Probably not a good idea to stand in front of people aiming guns in your direction. :)

    :lol: They did a lot of that, the muskets weren't much good beyond a hundred feet and weren't real accurate so they stood around fifty feet apart and shot at each other oscar mike golf.

    just trying to figure how much work is involved, a lot of detail in just in colours, the geometry has to export just so, parallax mangles big vistas without some care and how best to do placement, given a scene like that kinda demands a lot of figures in it

    ...thank you.

    Concerning the notebook, are you doing GPU rendering in Iray?

    Also check the side vent to see is it clogged/blocked .

    I haven't done any renders in over a week. I use 3Delight because I'm running on a 32-bit system with only 1 core. This started after I cut loose from TW cable/internet. Now I use a T-Mobile hotspot to connect, but it does the same thing when I use the YMCA's connection. Runs hot and slower than molasses in January.

    Maybe it's time to crack open the laptop. I've never played with these insides, but have never hesitated to open up my PCs and dig around. ;-P

    Shutdown completely. Remove battery.

    Tiny tools.

    Non-scratch workbench.

    Plenty of light.

    Magnifying glass.

    Search the Internet for disassembly instructions. It's MUCH easier if you know the proper order to remove screws and pieces.

    Keep close record of where the screws go.

    Don't lose your screws.

    Be gentle.

    Stay grounded. i.e. watch your static.
