I don't want to engage in this discussion, because it's opening a can of worms. I just want to point out that this "right wing party" (which isn't really right wing as the government would have you believe) has been

Well.. We could set up an organized network where if you sign up, you will be assigned some numbers to play, and you'll take home a part of the prize, guaranteed. Your share is in proportion to your investment. That way, you don't

Awesome, I didn't know such notation existed. I dance and teach (Cuban) salsa, and I've been wanting to write down a "repertoire" of moves that I know and teach, to give it some structure. Here the system I'm inclin

While it seems time-saving, I don't think putting all your eggs in one basket is a good idea when it comes to interviewing. If you bomb the interview (it can happen to great engineers), then you've effectively shut yourself out of

Try the Santa Teresa 1796. Highly recommended and still my favorite after many years. I'm biased though, since it's Venezuelan (and I am too).

Kind of random, but why is there so much time (entire days) spent in hotels when traveling? Is that due to Foursquare (or whatever) not allowing you to check-in to other places or did you really stay in the hotel the entire time? If so, doi
