Celebrated new Anova app with first Sous Vide pork chops (non-seared). Tasted much better than they sickly look.

I run the 13" Pro one-stop higher (scaled) resolution, which ends up matching the 13" Airs default.

The music behind those awful covers. http://youtu.be/-jaHEa5omWE

I'm sure they are. Just trying to figure out why Tidel uses CBR/CBR-like 1440 Kbps FLAC versus ~60% that with conventional level 5 lossless FLAC. Easier to justify mobile bandwidth jump from 320 to ~800, than 320 to 1440 (when it should sound same as ~800 properly buffered and processor handled, no?). I must be missing something.

Strangely I got zero results on mobile yesterday for the obscure artist Paul Simon, but lots on desktop/Chrome (and mobile) today. I think the most irritating trait of search (and Spotify did this early too) is when you get an album result just to find zero tracks available.
