How has it performed on cloudy/rainy/harsh weather days?

How would you go about creating something that could generate recipes (e.g. generate me a cookie recipe)?

You might give https://pitchy.ninja/game a try for practicing vocals.

There are definitely big players making a lot of money from plugins they develop. Here are a few to check out:

($1200) https://www.native-instruments.com/en/products/komplete/bund...

($300) https://www.soundtoys.com/product/soundtoys-5/

($500) https://www.arturia.com/products/analog-classics/v-collectio...

However, piracy is also pretty big when it comes to plugins.

I really enjoyed Creating Sounds for Electronic Music https://www.coursera.org/learn/music-synthesizer

I have a bit of a reversing mindset coming from a security engineering background and find Reverb Machine (https://reverbmachine.com/synth-sounds) is a great place to see synth sounds from modern music built up from scratch (usually starting with just a plain old sawtooth init patch).

I don't have studies but I did email the National Prion Disease Pathology Surveillance Center asking "is there a breakdown of cases of the individual Animal Prion Diseases by location and possibly by year (i.e. cases of human prion disease acquired by eating contaminated meat)?" and here was their response:

To date, in the US, there have been no known cases of variant CJD, or human prion disease acquired by eating contaminated beef. Here at the NPDPSC, we have diagnosed 4 cases, but they were all acquired out side the US; 1 case in 2044 acquired in UK, 2 cases in 2006 acquired in Saudi Arabia, and 1 case in 2014 acquired in the middle east.

In several western US states, Canada, and now South Korea and Norway, there is concern that chronic wasting disease (CWD), the prion disease of elk and deer, may be transmissible to people who hunt, butcher, or eat the affected animals. Although transmission of CWD from animals to humans is unlikely, recent data indicate that the barriers between species may be weakened when CWD has been transmitted from animal to animal several times (as may happen in the wild). The NPDPSC, along with the CDC, Department of Health, and the Game and Wildlife Administration, is carefully monitoring any possible case of acquired CWD in humans.

Asked for extra clarification, "So although there is a concern with CWD crossing that barrier, there still haven't been any recorded cases?"

That is correct.

I recently picked up the Surface Go and have been pretty bummed at how slow it is/feels. Have you not experienced any sluggishness with it?

The "What Musicians Can Learn about Practicing from Current Brain Research" article[1] linked to in the practice section was interesting. The Mental Practice experiment mentioned is pretty amazing. I'm curious, what do people's practice schedules look like? I've been trying to regiment my practice schedule but it's not easy and the only resource I've used is Justin Sandercoe's intermediate practice routine[2] but it tends to lean toward a longer 1-hour workout. Has anyone found an effective method for 15-30 minute practice schedules?

Here's an alternate theory by Corey Olsen (The Tolkien Professor) where Tom Bombadil is a Maia.

(Tom Bombadil part starts at 10:58, but the Balrog segment is interesting too)

You can even broadcast analog NTSC with it.

Tomek here, just to add onto the frozen garnishes point, anything with a good amount of water in it will be an issue here (due to the specific heat of water). This is why cookies and marshmallows can be eaten shortly after being taken out of liquid nitrogen. However, if you froze lemons or limes with LN and put it in your mouth, you're burning your tongue. Dave Arnold explains this here, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U6k9a4ikpfo.

I think Ruhlman's Twenty is a great resource for the kind of thing you're looking for.

"All cooking comes down not to recipes but rather to techniques. In Ruhlman’s Twenty, cook, writer, and food authority Michael Ruhlman distills all of cooking into 20 fundamental techniques, illustrated with 100 recipes, and hundreds of instructive photos"

How difficult would it be for a developer from the states to try and get a job out there? It's been a dream of mine for a while to venture out to Berlin/Germany and work out there for a year or two. I was born in Germany but do not have a passport (parents moved to the states when I was a year old).

I've visited once before and the sentiment is right, everyone out there spoke english (at least the younger crowd). I've been following the Berlin Ruby User Group but have been struggling to find good resources beyond that. Any recommendations?
