I would like to mirror our windows server "Q:" drive (projects, textures, etc) from our Delaware office, to a remote office. As files are updated, moved and added, the changes would permeate to the cloud and back down to remote office, and vise versa.

That said, this is what exactly google drive does, but we don't want to have everything based out of a "google drive" folder, we wish to keep our current folder structure unchanged. What I wish was that google drive would allow me to choose a root drive to backup, instead of using their folder... Any solutions out there?

I currently have an operational 6 camera Blue Iris IP camera network setup, and would also like to add a baby monitor to it as well. We're expecting our child in a couple of months, and the wife wants to baby monitor that has a dedicated monitor, and I want would like to have the camera be part of my setup for 24/7 recording, as well as remote viewing. Blue Iris is rather robust, so I know it can "talk" to a wide variety of devices. One option would to just use a cheap kindle fire using the Blue Iris viewing software since my Wife doesn't want to dedicate her phone for monitoring. I don’t think she would go much for the kindle option, so it will likely be best left to a Samsung (or like)

About a week or so ago I noticed that my fan / blower was making weird noises. It just sounded off. I also installed a new air filter around that time - http://i.imgur.com/zgdx1oB.jpg.

About a few days ago it started making a loud buzzing sound, and would pretty much just not blow air. This evening as a test I removed the air filter, and it worked! It sounded like normal, and after 20 minutes or so it was back to buzzing, and heater powered down. My assumption was that the new filter was stressing the motor and or capacitor.

I picked up one of those free apps starbucks cards while I was on vacation in the UK, and I can't use it on my US account.

TL;DR

Should I keep my coverage for my newly purchased ThinkPad Yoga. Since it is a durable machine, but has a reputation for ghosting I'm curious if I really need it for this machine ($200).

Long:

Bought the Surface 3, loved it but my main intent was to use it as a drawing machine, but the N Trig digitizer did not cut it well enough. I read a lot of great things about the TP Yoga, and since I prefer to buy expensive items from a physical store, I went with the Yoga at the MS store. When I bought it, I was surprised that they offered MS Complete for the Yoga as well, so I went with it. So far I have not noticed persistent ghosting.

Thanks!

A month or so ago, I cut my leg and went to the emergency room for stitches. Nothing severe, but it seemed like the place to go at the time, since its a few blocks from me. Fast forward to now, and I have a $950 bill from the hospital, my insurance company payed about $200-ish (in network.. something).

I have a $1200 deductible as well. My gut tells me that I'm stuck paying this amount, but I figured I would check with the reddit brain trust before I spoke to my insurance company. I'm not sure what I am asking, beyond being floored how much a hospital charges for 2-3 stitches. Is there ever any wiggle room with stuff, or is it pretty much what it is?

The previous owner did a really slap crappy job painting the trim above my front porch brick, dripping it all over the facade. The house was built about 1880-1890, so its an older pre war brick.

What is the best way to remove the paint without causing harm to the brick? Chemicals? What chemicals could I use? I have some muriatic acid, but I won't use it until I know it won't harm the brick. Power washing might cause the grout to flake out, as it may also create a weird contrast with my neighbors house.

I'm looking for a good way to fill this hole in, without buying 100 bags of concrete mix.
The hole is: 66"x82" and 9.5 +/-" at its deepest.

What is the best way to go about this? Can I fill a base layer of gravel mix, stones and rocks and the rest top off with concrete? The only way into the basement is a tight winding stare case, making the logistics of carrying materials down difficult. The house is a over 100 years old as well, the hole is where the old coal boiler was most likely.

Thanks!
