Came here to say exactly this.

Beyond this, the sound engineer and the producers will also work with the musicians to determine the intended audience of the track. If it’s meant to be danced to, you’re going to want to record it at a tempo that’s easy to follow and is a multiple that aligns with other songs that are danced to.

If a set or album is being recorded, the tempos will also have to be considered in comparison to the other songs, to create the right overall feeling. Set and audience combined will inform the max/min of all the songs, and sound engineers usually try to get performers to play to whole numbers in beats per minute.

Most requirements your body needs are over days and weeks, so it would handle things nutritionally just fine.

As far as microbiome and bowel movements go? Most people need more dietary fiber than they’re getting already. As long as you keep that up so you’re regular and not gassy, you’d be fine.

After all, the human body is able to graze on roots and berries and eat a big fatty meaty meal once a week, or survive solely on meat and fat and water for 8 months of the year. Macronutrient division by meal is well within that spectrum.

My lesson in this was way back when LinkedIn came out with an app. I installed it and the first thing it did was ask me for all my contacts and start pinging tracking servers. I uninstalled it immediately and avoided apps for web services after that.

Later that year, I found that if I HAD allowed that app to do what it wanted, it would have grabbed all that data and sent it to the company, who was selling it off to third parties. They got in a big class action lawsuit for it.

Those were the days. Now it’s just expected behavior.

Do the words “ruse” and “lose” also sound the same in your accent?

Sure… the trick to scoring high is being familiar with the type of test and what they’re looking for. Solve some puzzles on the mensa website and take a few different online IQ tests, and THEN do one of the official tests, and you’ll be more likely to know at a glance if one of your answers fits what they think it should be or not.

But for the most part, unless you’re intentionally trying to understand a learning or thinking issue you have (with the assistance of a professional psychologist), or just find them fun, there’s no reason to take them.

100 is average, with a distribution curving off in both directions. Most people are between 80 and 120.

All that the number shows is how you compare to others who wrote that particular IQ test; without more context it is virtually meaningless.

Any employer who hires based on an online IQ test result should be avoided.

I say this as someone who averages around 143 on the various IQ tests I’ve taken and find the number mostly meaningless.

Modern tests from an official testing body that are taken in person under supervision are pretty good for testing how strong your lateral thinking and reasoning abilities are compared to the average person.

Most other tests have massive blind spots skewing the results; they assume you have a bunch of very specific cultural and social knowledge that’s usually specific to university students in the midwestern USA in the 1950s.

You have a very different family than me.

If work was like MY family, we’d all work in different countries and I’d visit my manager once or twice a year and get the jobs done that we couldn’t sort out over the phone or email. I’d find out about all the stuff they’d been letting slide and sort out as much as I could over a weekend. When I got home people would ask me if I had a good holiday.

Wait. That IS how my workplace operates!

It’s possible your coworkers are playing the social game to advance their careers. That doesn’t mean you have to.

Yeah; unfortunately on that particular computer, it’s the only modern browser that still functions. I don’t trust it with anything.

If the question had been “what trustworthy browsers do you use?” I wouldn’t have mentioned it.

On one of my OSes, I still use Brave.

Thing is about trade marks… if the terms can be shown to be in common usage, the mark is struck down. Like Kleenex and Xerox.

So let’s all start talking about privacy invading cameras as being flocking stupid.

As a centralized system, nothing has been shown to improve on Signal yet. For decentralized systems, I haven’t seen anything better than Matrix yet? SimpleX is slightly more secure, but harder to spin up and easier to break.

Session… there have been multiple articles written on how it is flawed and untrustworthy.

That’s logical fallacy though. More likely, there were general principles at play that resulted in his probability of being assassinated increasing. Secret organized groups plotting his downfall aren’t necessary and would be much more complicated to pull off than just letting social response take its course.

But human minds like to turn everything into a narrative where all the parts are directly connected, when in truth, it’s usually a combination of natural selection and social dynamics.

I think he, personally, had made a lot of enemies because of how he spoke, and then conflated that with more general and organized resistance to his ideas instead of it being reactionary responses so his delivery.

People are generally nowhere near as organized as we give them credit for.

I believe his observations were mostly correct, but wouldn’t tie it as closely to a “group” as he did.

I disagreed with it at the time and do again now… there’s no grand conspiracy; people are just depressingly predictable in how they respond to economic and cultural pressures. Some people recognize the trends and attempt to ride them or even control them (or stop them), but with a few notable exceptions, history tends to just roll on regardless — which can look to some as if there must be some cabal of puppet masters calling the shots.

For those of us who lived through it, what he said was blatantly obvious at the time.

Well, as a lot of us are on instances hosted outside the US, a very long time.

The show is essentially about toxic work culture. It explores all the tropes with the twist that a person’s work consciousness is completely severed from their rest-of-life consciousness; one has no recall of what the other has done.

This is only for the workers and doesn’t extend to managers.

Funny; that’s where my mind went too.

TV equivalent of OpenWRT?
