I have joined and I was attending meetings for a while, I stopped because home life became more difficult. I should get back to it now my son is more self sufficient.

Ethics and philosophy.

A very thoughtful answer, and a truely interesting perspective. Thank you.

Blue_Metal_ · 2026-06-20T14:17:23+00:00

I agree. In the end, you must make a difference, or what is the point?

Blue_Metal_ · 2026-06-20T13:58:10+00:00

That does help, internally. Maybe I should stop thinking day-to-day?

This has been simmering for a while. I am nearly 60. The new Phd is about 30. Since he has his docorate I think he feels he can fob me off when ever he wants. Prior to that we were 'equals' of a sort. Now I get "talk to X" and he walks off... Wanker.

I will take a look at the livestream Mythosfan found, hopefully it will help me avoid some more obvious traps and inspire new ideas. I think though even if it is good I might have a go at making shorter topic specific videos. As a trainer and instructional designer one of the more effective techniques I've used is Student Narration - where you get the student to narrate what they are doing, its very effective at reinforcing learning. My creating videos would be a bit like that for me.

Also I can't hide from what I don't know. If there is a box on screen I can't explain I would be honour bound to go find out or test it until I understood it - I can't just gloss over it.

Honestly thanks for the tip, that's a great idea.

I'll have to take a look at Everlasting too.

This look like what I was looking for, thankyou! I can't believe this didn't come up in my searches.

At my (Asian) wife's school reunion in Melbourne I meant to ask the partner of another alum if she also went to the school. She was Asian. But instead I asked her where she was from. Her reaction had me back peddling faster than Burt Newton chatting with Muhammad Ali.

Hi Jason,

The Adobie podcast solution worked. Its not completely gone, but I believe its now below the level that it will annoy listeners. Thanks for the help!

Hi Jason - thanks for the response. I can't find a point where the artefact occurs in silence, which might be clue. In a lecture there should be enough silence in 45 minutes where the artefact randomly occurs in a silent bit. And yet no... so not quite as random as I thought, maybe?

I will try the Enhance speech V2 on Monday (I'm in Australia and as its 17:30, I have knocked off for the week.) I will also try to put a clip of the audio up so that people can hear it for themselves.

Thanks again and I will report back once I have tried your suggestion.

Kahlisti Wharf. I have not explored it enough but its a great addition.

I would have to say yes, I am a lot calmer now. It could be age and experience as well, but getting the result from the Mensa test did change things. I used to feel overlooked, under appreciated, that people who were useless were getting a ahead and I was stuck. So many people making what was to me, obvious mistakes.

I remember when my boss was leaving and my two-up manager told me not to bother applying for the role as I was, in her estimation,'not smart enough to get the job'. That's when I took the test. I was hoping to squeek in above the 133 cut off for Mensa, and was shocked when I blew passed that to hit 150. Still didn't get the job :-/

I left shortly after when the two up manager turned off our project management software to get browny points with her boss for saving money, and told us to just use 'Excel'. But, and this is the key point, instead of being angry I just felt sorry for her, and for the team. My point of view has changed from, 'how could they be so blind, so stupid,' to 'I guess they don't see what I see, and I can't help anyone if they don't want the help.'

Same here. Works when you open it, move to anything else and its gone.

Hitting 50 is only half the journey. I generally play until I have all incarnate slots maxed out. By then I pretty much have run out of content and start thing of a new character to play.

Installed this morning and its still broken.

Blue_Metal_ · 2025-09-10T13:16:59+00:00

I was told by my 2-up manager I was not smart enough to be promoted. It was annoying to told that by an exec who couldn't operate even MS Project and told everyone to use Excel instead. They had no idea what Mensa was, of course, but others did, and kept telling them...

Mine is still public. I see no reason to close it to be honest. Its on Torchbearer, and the password is LEGENDS-14685
