this is interesting, but when you finished watching all this, it's time to die already :P. sometimes, hyperqualification sucks (up all your time).

    actually, good point!... i'm going to make few supplement lists to this primary list having regard to various life-spans... i.e. one abridged supplement list for estimated life-span 20 yrs, the other (less abridged) for estimated life-span 30 yrs, 40 yrs, 50 yrs etc etc... and the primary list will be meant for the immortals of the transhuman future

    and to make special supplement lists for different genders will be practical too, i guess

    yes, do you have anything on how to survive the end of the world? or sth about what to do when you had a hard night, fall asleep with the hair curler in your hair next morning and you are not a chumbawamba hairstyle fan? any tips?

    start with "Keeping the Hair Clean" (1931)... however to avoid such "an accident" next time watch carefully "Alcohol and Your Body: Assessing the Damage" (1997) and "Drug Abuse: The Chemical Tomb" (1969)... to learn how to have fun in your leisure time without any damaging consequences watch "Basketball for Girls Fundamentals" (1948),"Craps: How to Play" (1989), "Path of the Paddle: Doubles Basic" (1977), "Dustin Diamond Teaches Chess" (2001), "Good Sportsmanship" (1950), "American Square Dance" (1947) and alike... however, in your case i dont recommend to watch "The Basics of Billiards" (2007) or "Exotic Belly Dancing" (2004) cuz these might bring you back to your bad habits... and concerning surviving the end of the world, you might find useful to watch "Power and Precision: An Introduction to Explosives" (2003)

    jiri, you are so knowleadgeable, if i didn't know for such a long time and did not come to the conclusion that you are such a nice person, i would insult you calling you a technocrat and would suspect you of the dirtiest social manipulations :P. if you ever run in the presidential elections, count on my vote. as for my hair, it made my split personality burst out and take a physical expression: my profile from the right is completely different from my profile viewed from left. guess i could play ionesco's chairs all by myself, i would only have to turn my head from time time. tagelmust is a must in these circumstances.

    thx for all your kind words!... i must admit, that i really have certain "technocratic" leanings, but now i'm genuinly touched deep in my heart... you are such a nice person too!!!... based on what you wrote, i would normally give you a quite lenghty list of suitable educational films to watch, beginning with THE ANGER TOOLBOX: A BLUEPRINT FOR RESPONSIBLE ANGER, BOUNDARIES & SAFETY (2006) etc etc etc... but i will not do it (being truly emotional right now)... only maybe a small additional note... before watching "Basic Electricity, As Applied to Electronic Control Systems" (1943) go through "I’m No Fool with Electricity" (1957)... it might help!

    ok, i should've used " ". now look. in romania, in conversation, "insult" can be used in a ironically friendly manner. for example: - what newspapers do you read? - don't insult me. (meaning a general despise for newspapers, for reading or for both. or for the one who asks the question and thus assumes that there is a plurality of readable publications or that newspapers are in general a thing to give a damn about). then again: - do you like rucola? - don't swear at my mom, she's a decent woman. (of course, the respondent hates it or simply has no idea what rucola may be and any unknown word is a potential verbal aggression against his precious person.). i have a friend who paints. i see one of her works and she says: come on, insult me telling it's beautiful. which, again, knowing her, can mean: she is very sure of the quality of the work, and uses "insult" to enhance the banality of her work being called beautiful and since she is an artist, she cannot stand banality and stereotype expressions of rapture in front of unquestionable value :)). or she just thinks that she paints beyond beautiful and ugly dialectics. well, she is not that conceited, so i will leave this last option out of consideration. but in general, that "insult" denotes satisfaction, no doubt. aside form probably being an idiot attempt at a "joke", i used that damn "insult" just to say that, those shorts you gave me being so full of technical skills and very practical guidings, some of them full of charming, parental tone of their age, i could only suspect you of morbid addiction to technicalities, to their corrupt use and of championing the exclusion of spontaneity from one's own life (joking again), which is not the case. it's like telling to someone who is fond of good movies, but is well aware of the snobbish tinge of the word "cinephile" : dear, the movies you watch are so awesome, that i would insult you calling you a cinephile, if i didm't know you so well. gosh, this must be pathetic... but at least i tried :D.

    you comment comes in the exactly right moment that i might give a second chance to the theory of synchronicity which i still consider a bit irrational and unsubstantiated by facts... few minutes ago i addressed BITE by the words "bothersome honeyproducing insect" but i didnt use inverted commas... based on your elaboration i see it was a mistake, cuz in case one is attempting an idiotic joke inverted commas are compulsory... now, her reaction is quite clear... so, thx a lot for your effort to explain all aspects of this issue... it didnt come in vain!

    bite, your problems arise from underestimating the importance of watching educational movies and ridiculing people who are fond of this important field of world cinema!

    i subscribe to the polish tutorials too. czech too, but i don't intend that as a flattery, i simply want to see the chintamani carpet and the swindler. later i will want to learn portuguese and swedish, so you can start gathering material, jiri ;)

    bite and rapciune, your light-minded approach to the matter of adopting foreign languages gives me no other choice than before providing any tutorials how to learn polish, czech, portuguese or swedish to demand from both of you to first watch "Red Light, Green Light: Meeting Strangers" (1965) and "The Safe Side: Stranger Safety" (2005)... if i didn't insist on this, i might be blamed in the future as being instrumental in your (eventual) bad fortune

not 100% sure if these are in sync with your concept, but maybe they are: Farocki's Die Schulung (Indoctrination) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i9TkZseML-k (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0418139/) Die Umschulung http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bExQSmcUkOo (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0418269/)
