Any advice from people who have gone through a similar situation? I just recently graduated and have been looking for a part-time job to get by for the next year. Where I'm currently living, getting by means making > $1000. I've been looking for about a month now, applying to a bunch of odd...

I used to get them frequently. They only pop up now when I'm extremely stressed, not hydrating and eating lots of fried food (fast food, chips), or not sleeping enough for a couple days. But now that I'm going to the gym regularly, eating extremely well and trying to sleep as much as possible...

Ah why did I stumble into this thread... I've been saving money by keeping beers out of my fridge but now I'm really tempted to stock up on anything Stone brewed.

I don't think the new maudlin of the Well, which was released free online, got the loving it deserved.

I have a Canon S90. Perfect for my uses! A bit pricey but it's one of the few compacts with full manual controls.

There are a few amps out there with unity gain, or rather can be ordered with unity gain. I got my Glite from Justin with a gain of 2 and thinking back, I should have asked for unity.

From my experience the regular RA-1 already has a gain that is too high for me. The HG version with Grados would be unlistenably loud.

Spam fried rice, spam and eggs with ramen, all good! (Ketchup in spam fried rice? That sounds... not so appetizing to me.)

I'm extremely thin. Is it at all possible to put on maybe 10 pounds through body weight exercises? I've been doing push ups, pull/chin ups, crunches, and I have access to a leg press and simple pulley weight machine which I use for a standing fly. I lifted a lot a couple years back and only put...

I'll have to spin the disc again but I remember the snares in particular sounding off. For similar kind of rock, I think Modest Mouse - The Moon and Antarctica sounds much better.

The only Goo Goo Doll album I have is Dizzy Up The Girl and I was disappointed with its overall sound quality. I might have to look into getting Superstar Car Wash.

Is everyone here incapable of being friends with an ex? I see a significant other as a friend you happen to be physically attracted to. If the connection is lost, can't you still be friends? I talk to my ex every once in a while and it's no big deal. Yes, I do have a girlfriend and she is...

Pick me!

Pet peeve, in your opening title, use AFFECT the verb not effect the noun. Took the quiz, hope it helps! I really enjoyed AP Psych when I took it 4 years ago. I hope you have just as much fun.

The MS-1. They introduced me to the world of head-fi and brought on the upgrade itch. Favorite? The HF-2. I think my setup is revealing enough that the limit of SQ now are most of my CDs. I also would prefer a DAC so that I can listen to CDs AND use my computer as source, but that's a matter...

Cosmos is available on Instant Viewing for Netflix. I just watched it about 2 weeks ago. Amazing series.

They're all the same. Anyone remember the nVidia mobile GPU fiasco? Tons of gpus went belly up and completely died. My dell laptop died 3-4 days after my warranty expired. The company blog even admitted it was a manufacturing defect and that a new bios was issued to up the cooling fan, though...

I'm tempted to try the jumbos as well. With about 35 hours on them so far, the bass is a little overpowering.

If possible, I think a wall-mount for the monitor would work a bit better than a second level. You can place it at a more ideal height while also freeing up desk space. I currently use a Vika with a table arm.

I take Vitamin B, rinse my mouth regularly either with Listerine or warm salt water, and avoid eating dry scratchy fried foods, like chips.
