Topic Wiki

If your video is not embedding, see if your link starts with "http:" - if it does, change it to "https:" and it will work.

If a video isn't embedded you should assume it may be inappropriate for some people.

How do I embed a Youtube video?
Simply post the YouTube URL.
Alternately (actually, this may no longer work):
Click the "youtube" button on the second row on the furthermost left side.
You will now have the words: [youtube][/youtube] in your editor.
Now, copy and paste the youtube video id (youtube.com/watch?v=oHg5SJYRHA0&x=y) in between the middle brackets in order for it to look like this:
    [youtube]oHg5SJYRHA0[/youtube]
and leave out this part of the link: "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v="

Or you can paste the YouTube link, highlight it, and then click on the "YouTube" button. This will encase the link in the youtube tags,
Now just click "post" and you're done!


How can I search if a video has been posted here before?
This is not foolproof, but it's a good start.
Search for the youtube ID (youtube.com/watch?v=oHg5SJYRHA0)

Oh, he get even bigger than that. Much bigger.

At any rate, he is hypnotizing to listen to.
I watched many of his guest appearances on the great shows of yesteryear. But back then he was young & handsome.

Yes, he was a handsome man when he was young but got even more charismatic when he was old and fat. Remarkably.

All mentalists do that. They give some bogus explanantion. Never how they actually do it. It is usually some simple magic type trick. I'll see if I can find Penn and Teller talking about mentalists. I know its somewhere
this is a good book on it https://archive.org/stream/Banachek_Psychological_Subtleties/Banachek_Psychological_Subtleties_djvu.txt

Great story very DDF appropriate
I thought the connection was gonna be between cold readers and televangelists ;D. Kind of was actually, with Hagee saying he made a sign with G-d (after the fact of course).

Watch 47:00 where Saban asks a question coming from his arrogant perspective, and see at 51:36 how Netanyahu turns the tables on him. 1:16:00 to 1:17:00 is also worth watching.

Also, notice what Netanyahu has on is bookshelf behind him!

If you listen to what they say, it seem like they are using the same technology used in autonomous cars.

I would guess that the store is laced with thousands of cameras and sensors to track the person and the actions.

What's so complicated? There is a basic sensor on every shelf. When item is picked up it charges the closest phone.

Not sure how they deal with a situation where two shoppers are very close together though...

That could be extremely error prone.

IMO once a phone is scanned upon entrance, they track the person rather than the phone. listen to the audio 1:01 to 1:10

+1 it probably has video surveillance which associates a person with the phone, (puts a face to the name...) And then its simple as the video cameras see exactly what you pick up
