There is a reason us audiophiles ripped everything to FLAC in the first place. So we would never have to re-encode it.
I'm doing a re-rip now of my (seemingly infinite) stack of CDs, so I can't help but agree, but a quibble: Technically, I'm re-ripping everything losslessly (FLAC) with the expectation of constantly re-encoding everything based on bandwidth and cost thereof (e.g., cell phone). PLEX ftw... it'll do automated opus encoding if I'm not on wi-fi, but I can still get flac to pump through my receiver at home.
So then, it does something... it sharpens up browser fingerprinting by making one more unusual... It would be strange if that information weren't being used to track visitors.
And as for the domain name, the NFL franchise with more titles than any other team ultimately did what it has done for years -- win.
And as for the domain name, the entitled wealthy with more dollars than any small business ultimately did what it has done for years -- take what they wanted without compensation.
Honestly, the chutzpah, asking for a price that the rich entities didn't wish to pay... I, too, am outraged at the small businessman.
Subtracting the emotional aspect (which I myself find non-trivial), I wonder what the actual risk of death is versus, say, death by auto accident, particularly if drinking is involved. I'm not trying to present this as a dichotomy... you could also, say, take a regular cab, or not drink to excess before driving, or walk, or...
There's never a good control group around when I need 'em:-)
My first taste of Harlan's work was an Outer Limits episode -- Demon with a Glass Hand. I had no idea he'd written it (at that age, only a faint notion of authorship)... no idea how it'd hold up now, but at the time it amazed me. He left behind an amazing body of work of his own, and he was a promoter of work not his own as well (Theodore Sturgeon, for example). I was sad to see he'd passed; glad it was peaceful.
He has to stay in jail because the charges won't stick. This is the way you punish someone you can't nail legally. You can beat the rap, but you can't beat the ride...
Goofus:
I haven't gotten enough sleep lately; think I'll take provigil.
I'm getting pretty sick from the provigil, think I'd better load up on antibiotics.
I'm getting some fungus problems from the antibiotic use, think I'd better load up on the antifungals.
He looks like a young man, and this lesson should last him a good long time (once the stinging subsides). Mark Twain put it well:
...the person that had took a bull by the tail once had learnt sixty or seventy times as much as a person that hadn't, and said a person that started in to carry a cat home by the tail was getting knowledge that was always going to be useful to him, and warn't ever going to grow dim or doubtful.
Given that I did caveat my statement, saying that I'd only read the summary, and given your failure to understand the term "post-hoc", I'm guessing your parents were rather young when they had you. My sympathies on your misfortune.
When do smart dads have kids?
Later, when they're ready.
When do autistic dads have kids?
Later, when their successes outweigh their drawbacks, and they've learned to compensate.
What sort of kids do dads have when they reproduce later?
Smart. Autistic. Like their dads. Cuz genetics.
Which is not to say that this is the explanation. It's just to say that the 'conclusions' drawn by this study (at least as summarized) are... let's say speculative at best.
... you're probably close to a charger, like in the car or something. Either that or you're a sad, pathetic fool who goes out to the McDonalds so you can sit there watching Netflix on your phone for 2 hours
Ha, shows what you know... when I pathetically watch Netflix at McDonald's, I always sit near an outlet.
Remember Domino's sorta-brilliant "Failure is an Option." campaign? Trying new things that might not work moved a moribund business into a pizza to be reckoned with.

From wikipedia, ÏÎÎá¦ÏÎÏ, ploutos, 'wealth' + ÎÏÎÏÎÏ, kratos, 'rule'. Plutocracy. â Pluto Rules!!

Yup. AKA "Slow AI".
You have to watch the even numbered Sandler movies (like Punch-drunk Love)! The odd ones are mostly junk, for some reason.
BTW, if you want to use a combined Sprint/T-Mobile, you could just sign up for Project Fi.
Looks like somebody needs a bigger laser!
Dude, already tried, it didn't work. I mean, have you tasted scotch?
Well then, with two such highly skilled, intelligent entities, with such marvelous track records, sayin' so, gosh, I'm in! Scan me first!
CGP Grey did a nice, insightful piece on this in a 5 minute youtube piece discussing just this thing. I like his videos in general ...

... OMG they were right, I've start to go blind! Oh wait, that's just presbyopia.
It's the battery tech ... Goodenough? Get it? Eh? Damn crickets, drowning out my applause.

Isn't America already overrun by immigrants from Europe? I mean, for the last few centuries ... Or do you mean recent immigrants?
