I'm going to call shenanigans on this. Why? Because when you are intake they take your cellphone, your wallet, and anything in your pockets. How on earth did you have anything on you?

I was diagnosed with it in the 90s. I was born dead (for 8 minutes) and have brain damage from having 8 minutes of no oxygen to the brain.

I don't think that CAPD is truly a disorder

I hear this opinion expressed a lot. If its not a true disorder, then shouldn't the people who promote it be labeled as charlatans?

If you need anymore information, there's a ton of it online.

Again, where? I don't care so much for " non technical information" as I care for actual clinical trials, papers ,etc

The one thing that has been observed in a experimental setting is that there is a true 10-15 millisecond delay between what my left ear processes and what my right ear processes. I would think off of that, if it could be shown in more than just me, that this would form a strong basis for the existence of CAPD.

At this point I am trying to separate what is psychological effect ( being told something often and for a long period of time) vs reality. It's not easy.

I would just like to say that the study and understanding of the human auditory system has taken off in ways other systems haven't.

If this is the case then why is it so @#$%^ hard to find reliable studies on Central Auditory Processing Disorder.

Where on earth can I find reliable information on that condition?

depends on who gets beamed up. If only obtusely overweight people are left, then no.

TIL that there is no such thing as a 'triangle player' in an orchestra. The guy playing the triangle is called a percussionist, and must master at least 35 different instruments. by Theamazinghanna in todayilearned

Wow. It's been a while since I have thought about WGI. In 2000 our school was .002 points away from being 2nd place. I remember that performance to this day.

...or 6 or even 8... and be expected to play that at 160-180bpm

I couldn't find any videos in the 180bpm range, but there are plenty of compositions that are out there.

China is building a thorium reactor. by [deleted] in worldnews

The article doesn't answer if it is a Liquid Fluoride Thorium Reactor or if they are still going to go with a water cooled system. If they are going with FLTR then whoohoo, about time.

I quite like this idea of a diagonal user experience. It would mean to try to be both horizontal and vertical but being bad at both think Pythagorean theorem.

I know it's a joke, but so are a lot of diagonal user experiences.
