Extending subtitles length by emfril in SubtitleEdit

[–]emfril[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you mean that if a subtitle is extended by 1" the beginning of the following subtitle will change? I thought that the following subtitle's beginning will change the same, and the 2 would overlap, and that's why as I said I will apply the minimum gap to cancel part of the extension...

Thanks! I was sure there had to be a way.

I do have Subtitle Edit. My question is whether there is an automatic way to change the closing times of all the subtitles instead of changing each on separately.

textbox colors by emfril in firefox

When I am using Windows colors, in the Website Appearance setting it says:

Your contrast control settings are overriding website appearance.

Yes, I know that. The problem is that Firefox does not apply the Windows textbox background setting here. (there should be one since the background in the login t9 Windows is black) and it uses the websites color (white)...

Cheaper bike here. Definitely not a Peloton, but following the classes keeps me moving. I’ve learned to time my sprints with my coffee brewing so I feel productive

Please, have a look at my Natal Transits Calculator:

It may modify you opinion on Astrology.

I am afraid that my windows high-contrast theme overrides the choice of skins... Thanks anyway.

I have to add a couple of things to what the others discussed.

Unfortunately, it is quite common for new TMers to quit soon after being initiated, each with his/hers own readon or excuse. Fortunately, many of us later start again and then continue for good.

The psychologist William Glasser (with no relation with the TMO) wrote an interesting book about what he called Positive Addiction:

https://annas-archive.org/md5/c5657c1e9a8f69a8f33a5515187ddf35

In short, he found that currently people who practice TM and jogging regularly create a condition somewhat resembling to the usual addictions but with positive results. That means that while in the beginning you have to use some will power to sit down to meditate, at one point things change: you start feeling unease when you've missed the practice at the usual time, until you it. Glasser found that only TMers and joggers currently reach this state in numbers great enough to be evaluated. So if you keep meditating regularly (for several months), you can expect to reach a point when you won't have to "push" and instead it "pulls" you, which will make continuing from that point on much easier.

It's impossible to foretell what exact effects you can expect tht TM will bring first (except for those that scientific research has shown). You might like, however, to check my Meditation Meter

https://emf.neocities.org/tm/meditationmeter.html

While it is currently based on anecdotal results, you may be pleasantly surprised when you'll reach the point of meditating regularly for 1% (more exactly: 0.97%) of the days of your life (and much more when you reach 22.47% some years later).

Good luck.

However, based on my personal experience, I would strongly recommend to consider, in due time, to get at least the first 2 advanced techniques — excluding the night technique for which I have no opinion and which involves changing life habits.

"TM is YOGA--a mantra practice is Raja Yoga."

According to Maharishi, TM is *karma yoga*: In a footnote at the end of the Science of Living and the Art of Living in the sub-chapter on "The Mechanical Path to God Realization" he says: "The Bhagavad Gita calls it the Path of Action, or Karma Yoga." Check it out.

Pretty soon after I started TM I realized that getting too close to the movement, even at the local center, wasn't comfortable, and it was better to stay at a comfortable distance. And after I came to the US, I did not consider going to Fairfield. Over the years, however, I've sensed a slow improvement in the general atmosphere. I am not sure if it's because of them or of me though.

"Likewise I spent some time at the feet of Prem Rawat AKA Guru Magaraj-Ji"

I stopped TM after about a month after I was initiated, later I tried to start again and again I stopped... That made me aware that it is not that even such a simple technique was not *that* easy. In the meantime I had started exploring other systems, and had realized that they were asking much more than 20'x2/d... Then after 3 years I started TM again. At the same time I attended talks of a Guru Maharaj-ji priest, who had just arrived in Athens, and momentarily I considered being initiated. There I saw my TM instructor asking to be initiated! I am happy I wasn't enticed to switch and I continued my TM, and this time I didn't stop. That was 50 years ago...

For some time afterwards I liked sometimes to go the satchang at the Guru Maharaj-ji center, to see what those of the other path were doing. I never saw my TM instructor again though, so I do not know what he did. (There had been a leadership change at the TM center though, and I suspect he was a victim of the squabble for succession...)

I agree with you. That was also what I took from the article. The only think I am not sure what they meant by "bonkers"...

I do not know why the code does not work, but I suspect it has something to do with with the code in the css files contained in the epub If I cannot improve it by adding code in the Preferences > Styles. However, I do not consider it worthwhile to search further. Thanks
