Thanks for the mention of the qso mapper project! It was quite by accident that I heard the mention on your podcast as I had just been surfing for a ham radio podcast to add to my routine. I happened across yours, and gave episode 251 a test-listen. I guess fate is telling me to subscribe. N1SH.

Glenmorangie 12 Quinta Ruban
Description
The darkest and most intense whisky in the extra-matured range, Glenmorangie Quinta Ruban has spent 10 years maturing in American white oak casks before being transferred into specially selected ruby port pipes from the Quintas or wine estates of Portugal. Extra maturation in these port pipes develops Glenmorangie Quinta Ruban into a voluptuous spirit with a complex balance of sweet and dry flavours and an intriguing contrast of smooth and crisp, cooling textures. Non chill-filtered for additional aroma and mouthfeel.

Feren OS is based on Linux Mint. What makes it one of the most visually attractive Linux distro is its tweaked Cinnamon desktop environment. It promises to deliver an experience that’ll match or beat the aesthetics of MacOS and Windows operating systems. Feren OS is a rolling release Linux distribution. The look and feel is familiar: There are a Windows-like start button and taskbar that have all the useful icons. The start menu is intuitively designed, as clicking on an option opens a submenu. The Theme Changer tool lets you play with icons, setup, background, etc. Feren OS, apart from being a beautiful Linux distribution and fully loaded with eye candy, is familiar and innovative. Also, it has a familiar desktop scheme, clean, flat design, modern environment and is beginner friendly.
Try to find a way to use an application on Linux that you've always or ordinarily used on Windows.

Notes: In Montana, we have a pastime bar game called shake-a-day. Each day at your favorite watering hole, you get one opportunity to throw fifty cents into a pot with hopes of rolling five of a kind and winning a pocket full of cash! This favorable risk to reward is our inspiration for brewing this aggressive, american style ipa. Brewed with pacific nw and australian hop varieties, bright aromas and resinous pine dominate the palate. The clean, well-attenuated finish has enough body to leave you wanting another roll of the dice.
