    FLAC Versus VBR MP3

    With storage being so insanely cheap these past few years, start with flac, then make a 192k mp3 from that for your phone, laptop, tablet, whatever. Keep the flac around so that you'll always have a lossless version in case some newer/better tech shows up. As far as vinyl rips versus cd rips...

    Most professionals with whom I have dealt prefer having any issues brought up face to face, without the need for dealing with HR. I had one guy who was not my supervisor, but a cool guy high up in the company, who often talked about his wild exploits around everyone. I dragged him aside one...

    Gun control

    Part of the joke is that .223 Remington and 5.56x45 are usually the same. Technically, theycan be different. You can always use .223 Remington in a 5.56x45 rifle, but the other way around could cause problems, particularly in older .223 rifles.

    High Calorie Meals?

    I'd run this by her doctor (or any doctor) first, but, as suggested by some of the prior posters, look for "Weight Gain" powder. A mix of simple carbs and protein. You could probably get 350 calories in a few times a day.
