You appear to be applying common sense there Kalliope, be careful! I'm hoping to publish a paper soon showing that Norwegians watching chess on television caused Magnus Carlsen to be good at chess. ;)

Click the cog icon, and change the speed to '2'. It makes the talk just as informative, but lasts half the time. Alternative is to eat a spoon of pudding everytime she says 'We' but means 'I'. I know you like pudding, and this generates a lot of pudding eating.

I screenshotted the first comment on the post Yesterday, must have already been deleted when the others in this thread were captured.

Heroic work! The royal 'we' was doing a lot of heavy lifting in that speech. I think the best thing to do would be to complain to the parent group of TED about the content breaking their own rules, and how the talk could be bad PR for them. After all, if the words TED and complaints from ME...

Afraid my accounting skills amount to counting things that actually exist* @Wonko :P Could explain my bank account balance. (*As much as abstract fictions actually exist)

I understand, but what I said was just a simple matter of accounting, instead of economic theories. If we agree that if I give you $10 then the account would be me + you = 0 -10 + 10 = 0 The truth of the equation depends only on the two simple facts: (1) In every transaction, money comes from...

You're right in how they think @arewenearlythereyet , yet the fact is: Taxes do not 'pay' for anything. They are a way of removing money from circulating in the economy. Taxes create demand for currency. A Government with it's own currency is not spending constrained. (It is the monopoly...

I can only speak from looking back as a teenager, but it would have been the worst time in my life to get some accurate data by asking me questions that involve self awareness, mood, fatigue, etc. It's almost like society already noticed this and gave the phenomenon a name. I think that...

Attaching the automatic transcript of the video for those who would like to keep a record of it. It will have no formatting or paragraph breaks, so be warned.

The most important question to be asked is: Are you a cat or dog person? (or other) Supplementary Question: Is me/cfs becoming more of an area of interest for students and researchers?

Thanks Trish and Barry :hug: Seriously though, it's hard to find anything about heart rate and beta blockers that is useful for those of us on beta blockers. I did it by working out the range out the range for 'normal' people and making adjustments by the effects.

Determination of exercise training heart rate in patients on β-blockers after myocardial infarction http://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1097/01.hjr.0000209813.05573.4d?journalCode=cprb Paywalled, so can't read it all, but that seems to be the modified formula they used. Edited to add: the...

My thanks to all who contributed, from the first secret messages to the latest member. And to the loons who got me involved, and put up with me and my randomness. :emoji_tropical_drink:

So you're all been shadowbanned. They don't have the honesty to delete the comments. I have ethical questions about shadowbanning people with limited energy to write comments, along with trying to trick people with cognitive dysfunctions. It completely ignores the difference between...

Holy moly, you are truly a fearless explorer of desolate and inhospitable lands. Please stay tethered to your nearest sane person.

Are people's faceache comments visible to only themselves or disappearing completely?

I would have thought that attendance would be registered at least twice a day (mandatory according to Government Rules), just like in the stone ages when we attended. :P It's probably all done electronically now. At college for my A Levels and equivalent each class was registered as well. That...

And forum manual writers too ;) Another good piece by David Tuller. Nice bit of promotion for the forum, so if he sees it, thanks. Skillfully done. Why couldn’t the data for students who went through their GCSE’s and onto A Levels have just been separated into two measures for attendance? It...

To add context using Office of National Statistics Data, Human health & social work activities Unfilled Vacancies July - September 2012 - 60,000 August - October 2017 - 120,000 The range from 2001 - 2012 was from approx 50k - 80k. The 120k + level started in 2015...

I've downloaded the machine transcript for the first video and attached the file, but be warned - it is without punctuation or paragraphs. It can be used for searching words if you would like to extract parts of the talk. Users might have a program that will auto format it, but I've tried and...
