Buy some custom earplugs. Foam plugs ruin the sound, heroes don't fit well enough for most, go custom. I'm a drummer of 30 years and have been to hundreds of live shows. Here is an example: https://www.64audio.com&#x2F

For beer: https://www.beeradvocate.com/community/ That links to the forums where you see some good discussion. Also the reviews of beer on the site are quite extensive.

I don't believe up/down should replace written reviews, but neither does an x out of 5 or 10 system. Written reviews are the place for that in depth analysis. That said I'm not familiar with Google Play and don't know

I've been in favor of up/down for years over x out of 5 or x out of 10. The core reasoning is: it captures your overall emotional response to something very succinctly. Sure you might hate X more than Y or like A more than you

Maybe the owner doesn't know what the logos should sell for, runs this once, and then sets up a new site selling the logos for at or near the ceiling price from the unorthodox auction.

There is one case we have where the newer per seat pricing doesn't facilitate how we're using github. One of our repositories is "docs" with a bunch of markdown files, pdfs, images, and other documents related to our te

This is true. And to go a bit further I was attempting to build a Shuddle like service a bit over a year ago, and many of our early interested families actually requested that the driver double as a sitter after driving them. Drive the ch

They are succeeding, but not to the extent of Uber/Lyft. Regulated taxi industry pricing is much higher than lyft or UberX pricing. If taxis get de-regulated and/or UberX/Lyft get regulated then Curb/Hailo/etc wil
