Is there a particular reason you don't opt for lossless formats (e.g. FLAC) for your music archive? I imagine the only constraint would be space, though storage gets cheaper by the year.

Besides being long, I didn't find "The Recognitions" exceedingly difficult. I was occasionally lost as to which character was speaking/being described, but the characters were mostly distinct enough to reason out. Pyncho

Thanks for the recommendations. 'White Noise' definitely resonated during the time I read it. The white noise of anxiety sounded loudly. Finished 'The Recognitions' a couple of weeks ago and will definitely get into &#x2

When you say "Latino", do you mean someone who actually hails from Latin America? Because I'm Latino from the United States and I'd probably be just as lost when it comes to dealing with Latin America as a non-Latino fro

Well, after posting that comment I decided to check out their current offerings which led me to discover Mint Mobile. It's an all-around better deal, provided you don't mind paying for a year up-front. I think I just may switch ne

Well, I wish I was able to fit the entire title in the submission. If anything, I feel that the bribery aspect is more damning. >"You can spend $10 million on an election. Or we can send one of our guys in to go offer the leader of

I can't see how compulsory voting is a good thing. Voluntary voting, I feel, has the effect of filtering out those that can't be bothered to vote and would therefore vote poorly (that is, based on whims and more susceptible to mis

Only for those on a post-paid plan. I'm on a pre-paid plan that they'll have to pry out of my cold, dead fingers ($30/month, unlimited data+text) which doesn't receive it, unfortunately.

Wal-mart also has optometrists that will give you your complete prescription for (last time I checked) the same cost as an eye-exam at Costco. Been my go-to for the last few years.

I can't say the findings presented in this article are surprising. That said, I currently reside abouts Downtown Los Angeles and have no car. I find I'm in walking distance to most places I'd like to go, though I realize I ha

So, I resort to the alternate nostrils technique when I'm having a panic attack, but I didn't know it was an actual thing until I read this article. Interesting that I'd pick it up on my own.

I personally don't mind. In fact, I look for yogurt that's low in fat and low in sugar as it tends to be high in protein and relatively low in calories, case in point FAGE Total 0%. 90 calories and 18g of protein in a 6oz. serving
