We all know how much of a centrist testosterone patcher dumbass piece of shit Joe Rogan. So let's the guest that have let us down by having a sit down with this delusional douche.

Pretty much the title. It get quite hot here in Europe.

Exsiccated/Exsiccation - was trying to think of a single English term that could be the equivalent of starvation; like if someone was dying of thirst, but I felt parched isn't weighted enough to fulfill the gravity of it.

In latin exsiccare meant to dry up completely, so that's how we got here I guess.

Thoughts? Is there a term I have forgotten that fits what I was looking for?

I've heard from people that these are some kind of special cameras, possibly with AI, that can completely scan your phone that is, the files on your phone, your contacts and so on, I don't know for sure. It's possible that even if your phone is turned off, it won't help. It's scary for me.

Maybe it's my paranoia, but if I remember correctly, 5 years ago I didn't even know that it was possible to spy on people via Wi-Fi and thought that AI wouldn't come soon, but in reality, the reality turned out to be much scarier. Holy crap.

I've read a few articles, but they're aimed at reducing the risk so that people don't panic, it looks like they're just trying to give small hints; perhaps you know more?

Bingo was his name-o.

who was Bingo? The farmer or the dog?

Okay hear me out. SpaceX. Not a very successful name as compared to NASA. Microsoft. Apple. Amazon or any Chinese space industries. Same goes for Tesla. There are way bigger car brands like Toyota or honda or Bugatti if we are going big. But think about it. Why arnt the owners of these brands the richest person. When they are clearly more successful and prominent.. same goes with starlink. All of elons companies aren't world wide. So how is he the richest. And plus. Him loosing billions of worth of stocks in a span of days dropping from 1T isn't normal is it....

Are we being lied to?

Like you could have a felon convicted of child rape sign up to fight a forest fire and die. Would he be a hero?
He may have just signed up to get some time out of jail, or maybe they are willing to reduce his sentence some for fighting the forest fire. Does the "why" factor in at all? What about the general character of the person?

Edit: there is no "right" answer. Just your opinion. And that is what I am looking for.

I'm not asking what's the worst/one you respect the least. I'm asking what's the least likely to help you get work.

You're a big shot trainer going to open your own gym. What will your theme be?

Personally, I'd go with a haunted house for the gym. Fake ghost pokemon props giving ppl jump scares, mixed in with real pokemon. Except all my pokemon would be fighting type pokemon dressed up like ghost type pokemon.

Ash: "Haha oh what a jump scare! That's a really fake looking Gengar puppet."

"Oh now that one looks more like a Gengar."

Hitmonchamp uses Mega Punch. It's super effective. Ash gains concussion.

Inspired by the opposite question posted recently, what YouTube creators have you watched for a long time and still find worth returning to? Alternatively, what are some new high quality channels you have been enjoying?

Since ours in the US is generally a percentage of the bill, people in expensive restaurants can make more. Do they work harder? Do they have fewer tables so less checks are tipping? 20% tips on 5 hundred dollar tables is $100 every 60-90 minutes, but shifts are usually only a few hours. So maybe $3-400 for a 4-5 hour dinner shift? In a diner you'd are probably half that per table but for more tables and faster turnover. What's a good wage?

And what's the origin of that phrase?

And yes I am an old geezer, a slow one too.

HOW do you guys tip in the US? Do you go by food total or bill total? I know it's frowned upon in other countries, I'm not here to question or debate that.

~~No matter how you split it, pre or post tax, the "gratuity" is much higher than it should be! The 18%is higher even than what actual 20% should be!~~

~~Pretax should be $14.26, tax included (ripoff) should be $15.44. So why is the "20%" up to $18.25?! That's a 25.5% tip.~~

For me, I tip "15%" but round numbers. The bill is $72, so I take 10% (7.20 but round up to 8 then add 4) which ends up $12.

If they were exceptional, I just go off 20% which is $16 by my method, and round the total to the nearest dollar... ~~but even that isn't their pretend 18%!! And technically my method is over 20% after rounding up. They're all just taking advantage of niceness and guilt for patrons having to tip everyone.~~

Edit: I fucked up being hung up on numbers, not realizing to the left was the explanation. 😅 OK, so just: how do y'all tip?

I have no experience with producing music. I attended music school and have a fair knowledge of music theory and experience with performing music, but when it comes to production, especially the mastering step, I am utterly ignorant. Here are some questions to the more knowledgeable.

1. Do the musicians have the final word on what the final product should sound like or do those that master the audio have a say in the matter? Do you ever disagree with the musicians and if so, to what extent and how persistently do you voice your disagreement/concern?
2. Imagine that you ignored the demands of the musicians: how do you decide what the final product should sound like? Is it the genre? The target equipment on which it will be played (PA, studio monitors, headphones, over-ear, in-ear, radio, bluetooth, wired, etc)? What you subjectively like?
3. Has there been a change in how the same genre of music has been mastered during the ages? If so, why is that? For instance, would you have mastered, say, Disturbed's Prayer the same way today as it was mastered at the time of its release?

Bonus audiophiliac comment (TW! Last chance to elect not to continue!): After years of experimentation, I have settled on listening to music with studio monitors at home and Sennheiser's IE900 when on the move. The reason for this is that they give me a flat and detailed soundscape, which enables me to pick apart and enjoy both intentional and unintentional sounds. "Consumer grade" soundbars and speakers sound ridiculous to me, because the bass deletes almost everything else.

The inner edge/brink of the plate swirls slightly inwards, starting at the plate's outer edge and terminating at the inner bottom.
