Sure. This excerpt you shared supports what I just wrote in my post, no?

Actually, sake can be enjoyed cold, warm, or hot. Having the sake serve at a warm temperature doesn’t mean there is anything inherently wrong with the sake itself.

The purpose of changing the temperature, as you pointed out, is to change the flavor notes. Having a particular sake cold may bring out fruitier notes while warming it up gives it an extra layer of vanilla. This is just an example. All sake have different notes and it can be really subjective on what notes are being registered. The ability to change the flavor drastically just by temperature is what makes sake interesting. This legit use isn’t just limited to subpar sake, but to the entire quality spectrum sake as well. So it really depends on many factors like the intended temperature consumption by the brewery or the establishment you are consuming the sake at (they want particular notes to come up so it goes well with the pairing of a dish, for example), or the most important: consumers palate.

Playing with the temperature is akin to whisky drinking: neat vs on the rocks vs water dropper. Each preparation changes the flavor and aren’t necessary bad.

You are correct that warming up bad quality sake can mask the undesirable attributes.

401(k) deadlines are calendar year. Are you thinking of something like the Roth IRA, where the deadline for the earmarking of contributions for the previous year is April 15?

Philosophy. Specifically logic. Have to build a strong foundation in the basics before considering going into the more modern materials.

It is recommended to take a 15 minute break every two hours of driving. This is especially important if one is driving long distance.

Here are the numbers of whaling done by country:

It is interesting to me conversations of whaling usually involve Japan and vice versa, but no one mentions the other major participants.

The store which had it only had one bottle and just sold it. Looks like your post triggered many calls to the store. The clerk knew exactly what I was calling for, haha.

Ahh right. This is definitely a road block :(

What was the cost analysis like to include a diverse selection of savory items? Filling an entire box with chips is definitely not cost effective, but including one with a mix of other goods seems plausible? Is there demand for a "snacks" box consisting of sweet and savory?

The problem I had with Umai crate was nearly every box was just ramen. Might as well call it the ramen box.

Have you considered offering a savory snacks crate, which doesn't consist of majority ramen?

Japan Crate has the Umai crate, which we (Tofugu) subscribed to for six months; majority of the contents were ramen :/ Was hoping for some chips and other goodies.

Having grown up in the area I remember the days when the finger was pointed at Boeing for the cause of traffic. Someone has to be the scapegoat :)

If one spends time integrating into their society (for example, learn their language instead of just using English all the time), then one may be treated a little more positively. They don't expect you to speak Thai because they see you as someone who won't stick around and as a result, like you said, merely a money source.

This tool is not for me or you. It is to ease the entry friction for those who have never worked within our ecosystem.

Except on those days when it isn't.

It isn't obvious, but the mention of the app is on the inner flap of the packaging

I can't comment on the selection quality, but the Priority Pass which comes with the CSR is good for yourself and one guest. I've used is several times with my partner and no fees were charged.

I rate their quality along the lines of JCrew. Just like JCrew their clothing isn't worth the full price. Both do heavy discount promotions, so I would wait for those.

Not knowing your budget, but if you are looking for a suit (I am assuming you are looking at a modern cut given your interest in Bonobos) I highly recommend stopping by a SuitSupply store.

It is unfortunate Nintendo still operates their online purchases this way. Many other platforms (XB Live, PSN, Steam, et cetera) tie purchases to the account. Nintendo's way goes against expectations.

I hope Nintendo spends a little more resources to improve on the online side of things alongside the new Switch console (store, online multiplayer, interaction with friends...); they are severely behind compared to their competitors.

Correct me if I am wrong. I believe eshop purchases are still tied to the system and not the account. This makes transferring of content more of a hassle than it needs to be. You'll need to do a system transfer of the games if you want to maintain your library.

At least for Postmates here in Portland, the delivery person also places the order at the restaurant. They are responsible for the order, not just the delivery; they can take the minute to check what they ordered is complete. If they don't do a complete and great job why should they be entitled to a great tip?
