That hasn’t been true for decades. The wildlife that still exists is barely hanging on, and many of those forests are hollowed out from the inside, visible on Google Earth but not from the highway.

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.

Political parties are themselves coalitions. Does PP really think that everyone voting C has the same goals and vision?

Provinces have been doing democratic coalition governments as long as Canada has existed.

In fact, NOT working together, like the Conservatives want, is what isn’t democratic.

Of course, I’m talking social democracy here, not the American “two wolves and a sheep vote on dinner” model.

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.

To a Canadian mother.

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

I wonder how China will react. Plus for them: no trans character. Minus for them: replaced with Christian insurgent.

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.
