> 60 FPS > nearly two hours of a stationary watch Oh the debauchery... I love it when tech is adopted just because we can. Like using USB 3.0 for a keyboard.
When ever Grey speaks about a topic, I find that I completely agree but never would have been able to put my thoughts beforehand into such an elegant explanation or such a full understanding.
It's weird. I can touch type when it's not dark. I don't look at the keys, but if it's dark, my hands just get misaligned somehow, and it's impossible to fix. But yeah, in the light, I can totally touch type, most of the time.
I work in an elementary school (not as a teacher though). Newer teachers regularly stay until 6, 7, 8, some even 9 at night (and that's after getting to school at 7 or 8 in the morning). The amount of pressure they are under from the Administrators is soul crushing, especially when combined with the newness of the job and the fact that they themselves do not have many individual resources or lesson plans prepared/memorized). There is a definite drop in the amount of time teachers spend at work after their first year. It is practically precipitous. The older, more wizened of the teachers are far more relaxed and do not spend as much time at work (in fact, most put in their requisite hours and leave). In fact the only time I see older teachers really staying late is when something is due (like grades) or they are prepping for the big, end of the year standardized test.
Thanks CGP! You actually made me laugh out loud at work with your "Being alive is superior to being dead." I suppose the embarrassment is netted out by the positive of a hearty laugh.
is the sound really low on these videos for anyone else? everything else on youtube or any other audio source on my computer is fine but I have to crank up the speakers to hear them
@13:20 I agree that teachers work very long hours. My parents are both grade school teachers and they always worked after school from 3-5 and then again in the evenings grading papers, lesson plans, ect. (and making their children, aka me, help them too). They also went in on the weekends to clean up or change their bulletin boards. The couple months off in the summer does really help too! Although, they started working again about 1 month before school starts with home visits, testing, and meetings.
I kind of combine touch typing w/ hunt and peck. Since I have memorized where some of the frequently used keys are (but not the rest of the keyboard) I sometimes can go touch typing w/o looking down for a while. But, I sometimes look down anyways as a habit and to make sure I type the right keys. I usually just look down at my keyboard and type though.
"but I'm looking around..." all I can imagine is Grey looking at white walls, with a white carpet, with white ceilings, a single picture on the wall, and a lone end table with a vase on it.
On the note of how Brady is saying that long segments on a single story that provide background information isn't as desirable I have to use John Oliver as a counterpoint. I genuinely feel that I get the most informed and significant news stories from Last Week Tonight, where a signal topic that may have been something that has been ongoing is deeply delved into. The stories that are talked about are things that the news news doesn't actually show, instead opting for the easily explained and quick headline. I think better news stories could definitely be done by using greater context and explaining stories more complexly.
Kincaid Beach Jeeze, today I actually did. I didn't think people enjoying this podcast would be so judgmental. Try working 80 hours a fucking week, you trolling bitch. ;)
If you watch the Jeremy Scahill doc Dirty Wars, he also seems to be a hunt and pecker. He's a brilliant journalist and he seems to get on just fine hunting and pecking.
Oh my god how does this watch work >_< every time he pushes the button it has something else. Its bugging me. It's probably so simple I'm just being dumb.
I never actually learnt how to properly type, so I started off with pecking, and now I can touch-type, but I still type with 4-6 fingers instead of the usual 8-10. I can type at about 60 WPM with my 4-6 fingers, and I know that I would probably be able to type even faster if I use all ten, but I can never find time to get used to using more fingers.
UK teachers have the highest pay and longest holidays in Europe. And yeah some weeks they work 60 hours, but it's a salaried job so they still get paid the weeks they do 0 hours. Swings and roundabouts...
highest pay is a relative term, so what are you comparing it to? a CEO? Teachers start on about 30k and advance pretty quickly to 40k, whereupon all pay increases stop from that point until retirement. Add all that to recent inflation and teachers have been having real-terms cuts in pay by about 15%. so yeah, swings and roundabouts, but your average teacher wouldn't list "pay and holidays" as their motivation for going into work like, say, the average financial consultant or w/e would.
nuazak I was comparing to other EU teachers like I said... Slaeowulf the oecd ProfAwesomeO I also know teachers, and it's maybe a couple of days for the 1 and 2 weeks holidays, maybe a week over the 6 weeks one. Either that or they do most of that prep work out of their heads at pubs and clubs.
Mechanical Menace my sister recently became a teacher at a new school and she spent all of her summer preparing for her class, planning lessons, organising books and resources etc. If the teachers you know spend their time deciding what they are going to do at work, whilst at the pub, they are doing it wrong. Its like saying that when a writer isnt actually writing his final work all he does is sit around thinking. Its a complete misconception, a god writer spends hours and days doing drafts, sometimes abstract plans of their plot etc
I understand what grey means, I think the news should also put just a real brief history of the cause of the text. The us news is construed in a way that the information they give is impossible to use correctly.
I want to know about the history of Billy and Freddy. In fact this fictional story as an example has really captured my attention and imagination. If anyone is so inclined, please, please “let me know”.
***** I'm aware of this but at work I don't get that much time to download the podcast and if you listen to it directly from the website I can't rewind if needed so TH-cam fixes those problems for me

I enjoy watching the news (on occasion), until the point when it gets to be very obvious what they are going to say next. I guess it's like Grey says, pretty much just the headlines are content. This is why I like twitter. I follow the news there and just click on stories that seem to have something behind them (also I follow science magazines which I assume to be peer-reviewed and thus more acurate, if not in the conclusions, at least in the data). The daunting part is that even on twitter there gets to be a lot of irrelavancy to sift through. And well I guess the main reason I enjoy watching the news is to critizise it. I'm no expert at anything but I just find it obvious that it's mostly just (a) propaganda of some sort (b) fillers (c) biased, doesn't show the full story. So well yeah. But I do find that, as Brady said, there are the couple of stories that do influence society positively, wether that be by holding someone to account or by diffusing important information to people who might otherwise not be aware of it. And well I'd like to read the political section of the newspaper to yes, be more informed. The problem with this is that I don't understand any of it so I can't really pick it apart and figure out what might actually be true. I would appreciate different means to become more informed, but since I don't live in a developed country and since I don't know how any of it works, the news would be my place to go. As someone who has been on the news, as well as my sister having been on the news for similar reasons, I was not surprised by the biases it has. I was surprised that something as simple as my statement was tweaked in such a way that it conveyed something I would not have. It's not like it was a piece that mattered in any meaningful way, why did they not just put in what I said? Also, several papers got the names wrong both when it came to me and my sister, which I understand, but yeah.
also. people are more unhappy today despite being in a much better situation. the reason for this unhappiness is that in western society we believe in the lie of upward socio-economic mobility. Believing this lie plus our ability to see others who have made it can make us feel very bad about how we have done in life (comparatively).
About the Atombomb part. I would say that Technologie adwancing is alway somthing good but what the people do with the new Technologie isnt. U can use atombombs to create an Atomthere on mars or to destroy a city and make it imposible to live in for thousend of years
I really really like your podcasts, but they are so long ;( I cannot concentrate for 2 hours listening to it. And when I want to watch it on the next day, than there is missing the Connection. Please think of it to make it a little shorter. @Hello Internet
i love twitter, it beats Facebook by an unimaginable amount. And now i'm going to follow and unfollow random people until one of them asks me why i unfollowed them. And how many plane crush enthusiasts are there? i'd watch the 20 min video. i also watch most of the CGP Grey videos with a tv dinner in my lap.
Twitter is balls, the limit is what has caused such extreme dichotomy in "debates" and made so many too god damn angry over nothing that's as big as they think :\
SilverEagle XI yes, you can't have a real conversation in 140 characters each post, that leads to extreme statements that lead people to extremes and one reason GamerGate has become a shitfest. Because both sides can only say things in extremes, no nuance that is needed.
Yeah, cause you never see extreme points of view on Facebook or other TH-cam comments or other websites that don't have the cap. No matter where you look there will be people with extreme points of view no matter how many characters they have to express themselves. For example i already put my extreme view of Facebook in a TH-cam comment that has unlimited characters, it is in fact the comment we are currently discussing.
SilverEagle XI True, you can see those extreme comments, but they are also often kept short. The longer posts I've seen who go into detail of why they think such a way and provide evidence, I can at least pick apart or realize why they thing that way and help em through it, if you see only a short extreme, well, you have nothing to go off of and then people usually make assumptions and, from my experience, people make the worst assumptions. Those assumptions then lead to more hate/anger.
Man, listening to these videos, I think that if Grey gets in trouble with people it's because of his speaking style. He has a tendency (esp. since his primary output is edutainment type stuff) to either come across, in tone, as A) someone speaking factually, or B) someone really hesitant to speak factually. Basically, it very rarely sounds like he's going "oh well this is my experience but idk," it sounds more like someone who knows everything about what they're talking about. Which is good, but also something to be aware of if you're worried about people who strongly disagree with you.
Brady you do such a great job of making a really strong devil's advocate argument, without being too serious and still keeping the conversation fun

It's *wild* listening to the discussion of news here in 2020.
I kind of combine touch typing w/ hunt and peck.

But, I sometimes look down anyways as a habit and to make sure I type the right keys. I usually just look down at my keyboard and type though.
What a wonderful start for season 2.
Worked like a Trojan... in a story about horses... lol...
21:18 almost seems like he paused to turn the toy back on lol
Knowing Grey edits this podcast, the inclusion of trinkets and toys as the video footage becomes ironic.
The anxiety that I get between button pushes is too much to handle! Never do this again Brady! I nearly cried!
"but I'm looking around..." all I can imagine is Grey looking at white walls, with a white carpet, with white ceilings, a single picture on the wall, and a lone end table with a vase on it.
That's too much!
The vase and painting have no use
No but not even as a joke he wouldn't like the vase.
Grey's motto: what an institution say they are doing is not what they are doing.
On the note of how Brady is saying that long segments on a single story that provide background information isn't as desirable I have to use John Oliver as a counterpoint. I genuinely feel that I get the most informed and significant news stories from Last Week Tonight, where a signal topic that may have been something that has been ongoing is deeply delved into.
