As a former Christian and now an Atheist (Ignostic Atheist in case anyone wants more specificity) I can get behind your post. Every book on this list someone is going to find some part they do not agree with. The larger the book, the more opportunities for people to find problems, and the older the book there is a…

Ok, so for ios it is free for three days then it is anywhere from $7 to $5 a month (depending on if you pay per month all the way to per year). There is also a web app.

I did find Blikist on stacksocial right now doing a free 3 months for the next two weeks (til the 29th of September, 2014) if anyone is interested:

I don't get this "Men have lost their way." In this context, it is ok; we can all stand to be more confident in ourselves, regardless of gender. But I am not sure why he thinks men once were confident and that men need to regain their stature as men (or something)?

And often this is expressed as, "Men need to stop…

Why Great Danes? I guess I could ask that for any of the breeds, but I can't imagine a great dane ever biting someone. And if it is just because it is a large dog, why not all large breeds?

I have a daughter with special needs, so I tend to work odd hours but make sure I am not putting anyone out when I have to go to a doctor's appointment or something. And I keep track of my hours to make sure a) that I am putting in at least 45 hours a week and b) the company isn't making me work more than 50 hours a…

I set up a virtual lab at home to work on my Microsoft Certification and I followed this guide to set it up for setting it up in Virtual Box:

Part of finding good feedback, of course, is in being the type of person who encourages criticism. You don't have to give a voice to your most cynical detractors, but making sure those who can provide useful insights are allowed to do so can go a long way.

I've heard that buying nice wooden box speakers from thrift stores and such is a great and cheap way to do speakers for a surround sound system. But I have no idea if that is true, or what I should be looking for if I were to do that. I understand that amperage is not everything and that looking for a good frequency…

what is the difference between this and the Calm app?

It seems like both are just a collection of short guided and unguided meditations.

I see ads for services like this in the Sky Mall magazines all the time when I take a plane some where. It'd be interesting to see how these services compare as I've always been tempted to sign up. For those times where I want to know what a book is about but no so badly that I want to bump another book off my…

I want to like those wallet cases, it would be Great to be able to get rid of my wallet and just have my phone. But it seems the options are either to have a flip open case, so when you are on the phone you are flashing your cards all over the place, or most of the compartment type cases still show your cards on the…

When our baby was born a year and a half ago she was almost immediately taken to the NICU and then transferred to a near by children's hospital for seizures. We spent 7 weeks in that hospital and almost a year after that dealing with all kinds of issues before eventually being diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy earlier…

I knew a guy who owned 1500 games! Total collector.

I've been thinking about selling off a lot of games. I don't know how many games I have sitting on my shelves still in their shrink wrap. I hardly buy any more. Netrunner was my number one game I wanted to get when it came out. I finally got it and it is STILL in…

me too! I'll get a picture up later. I have over 300. Although you have many that I do not have that I would love to have in my collection some day (Small World, Kingdom Builder, and Twilight Imperium stand out to me)

seriously. This is all I want. I'm so sick of Facebook trying to figure out what they think I want in my new feed. Why not just let me decide?

The only time I have ever had that problem is when the disc is actually damaged. But a 10 year old DVD kept in good condition is going to show a movie in the same quality it did when it was originally printed. A 10 year old VHS is not. That is what I'm attempting to say.

DVD's and Blurays are a money pit only if you buy brand new. The great thing about digital technology is that the video quality doesn't degrade over time. So used is practically brand new. I never spend more than $5-$7, and I know I can sell them back for about that much. If you garage sale you can often get DVDs…

Another good question:
Are you the person who buys something online, goes to the store to buy it for a higher price at the store, and then when the item comes in you return the item?

The prices of online and the immediacy of the store. Not that I would ever do such a thing.

(and not that there is as much of a reason to…

Specifically I listen to Pandora on my phone.

I always felt it was very condescending of me to correct people on their posts on Facebook, like being a grammar Nazi. So when I saw enough of a post or type of expression I would create my own well researched update debunking it. It was when I started conversing with the people that would post inaccurate memes or…
