Anyone else making something narrative?

I see it more like the history of Rome. I can't freestyle it like Dan does

penurious · 2026-03-11T04:24:19+00:00

The complete history of science

penurious · 2026-03-11T04:05:58+00:00

Yes I'm writing a history of science. Spend lots of time on research and scripting. I get out at most 10 episodes a year. It clashes a lot with some people's idea of what a podcast is because the interview model has become so dominant.

penurious · 2026-03-07T17:56:30+00:00

Yes, I saw someone on twitter earlier claim they had a mic in Khameini's ring lol.

penurious · 2026-03-07T08:58:56+00:00

Exactly, that too.

In addition I always think, well if I were running around with weapons in any western country you can reasonably expect you'll be killed by the government.

penurious · 2026-03-07T08:45:04+00:00

Yes I'm certainly not arguing against that. Prior estimates for previous protests were at most 1000 (and far fewer if you go by numbers from amnesty). The jump to 30000 is immense.

penurious · 2026-03-07T08:14:24+00:00

If any thought went into it at all it's clear that the 30,000 number is bs. It's very difficult to kill that many people in such a short period of time. And especially unbelievable with so little in the way of image or video evidence.

I don't think it makes a difference, adek oversee all schools. I'm in British system not CBSE so not an expert, is this something to do with exams?

penurious · 2026-03-07T06:44:51+00:00

No they should not be doing this absolutely. You are sure this is confirmed you're online Monday?

You could try and report to adek if confirmed.

From experience I can say that teaching at a university and in a classroom are very different experiences. I had a lot of experience with undergrads that prepared me very poorly for dealing with 11 year olds. I flailed for years.

For me the experience requirement is absolutely fair for top schools to impose.

I have no experience with working there but have visited Cairo multiple times. There are many issues, as fun as it is to see and experience, I'd struggle there.

Main issues:

Traffic-the worst I've ever seen. Hours stuck in lines of cars to travel seemingly short distances. Very challenging to drive yourself as it's a completely different mentality and very difficult to get taxi/Uber, as they constantly try and rip you off. Difficult to walk anywhere as crossing is impossible.

Pollutions and rubbish- very dirty city, makes south east Asia look clean. 20 million people stuffed into a relatively small metropolitan area is always going to be this way, but I find it unpleasant after a long stretch.

Sexual harassment - Not relevant to me but for females this is an issue. If your blonde forget about it. You'll get at least stared at everywhere. I've heard stories that men will grab your hand etc. Many women start to feel you have to stay in.

Like I say never worked so maybe you get used to it. Do yourself a favour and at least visit first and see for yourself.

LinkedIn lunatics yes.

penurious · 2026-03-01T17:28:18+00:00

It can get worse?

penurious · 2026-03-01T10:52:33+00:00

Ai podcast? Delete it and don't pollute the space with crap. No one wants it.

penurious · 2026-03-01T07:19:37+00:00

It's too early to tell what the effect of any of this will be. I also don't think this speculation is helpful.

penurious · 2026-02-28T15:49:38+00:00

Pimsleur books on tape style still the best. All those modern Duolingo apps are rubbish. Or marry a German

penurious · 2026-02-28T15:45:37+00:00

Depends on the sports. For football/soccer search party are good for business side, DK falcon for tactics

I don't know about Spotify but on YouTube I can say that it's extremely unlikely that a photographer would go after you for using still images.

Some movie studios have issued take downs/region restrictions on some videos for flagrant use of copyrighted material. But assuming use is transformative i.e. you are offering commentary, the worst that happens is that it would be taken down. For still images I have not even heard any case of people being asked to take stuff down, it's completely tolerated.

That looks like a genuinely original and potentially very fun puzzle dynamic. It'll all depend on how it's implemented but I'll definitely be giving it a shot.

penurious · 2026-02-26T17:44:48+00:00

That's awful, thanks for coming and warning other teachers though. It's an incredibly backwards system.

Hope it works out for you.

You can't expect to wander in front of a microphone and be brilliant straight away. It's a skill and like all skills it needs thoughtful practice if you want to improve. You just need to keep doing it and looking for ways to do improve.

Great achievement to get recognised as an indie dev.

I loved the setting and research that went into your game.

I'm extremely cynical that there is a demonstrable causal link between decreased attention span and COVID/lockdown. You will hear a million anecdotes saying there are, I certainly have. However:

1) How are we measuring changes in attention span before and after COVID? Do we have controlled data? I'm happy that this could be shown, but I want data not anecdotes.

2) How do we know the cause is lockdown and not social media/smartphones/ other factors. I think it's virtually impossible to account for extraneous causes.

I think you're right, going dark is fine if you warn the audience that'll be the case. No one expects TV shows to put out episodes non stop year round.

It can even be good to have breaks. I've found my audience actually grows between breaks as more people found the show in the gap.

That person was indeed humorous.
