// NORMalizer SCRIPT
//
// this is a simple script that speeds up
// specified segments of the debate. 
// (or any video, really)
//
// paste it into browser console to use.
//
// This works as-is, but I only recorded 
// timestamps for the intro to demonstrate.
//
// script by /u/bone_ok
// timestamps collected by /u/birdbrainswagtrain using https://gist.github.com/MDFL64/824cfd71d31ed126b29eccd33c1daea5

// SETTINGS
// 
// if you want to listen to the debate in 2x 
// and finkle in 4x, set these to 2 & 4

var standard_speed = 1.5;
var finkle_speed = 3;


// TIME RANGES
//
// the ranges below are the start and end 
// timestamps (in seconds) for when finkle 
// rambles.
// 
// They need to be listed in chronological 
// order, in the format shown (no comma on
// the last line)
//
// For adding additional ranges, you can get
// the timestamps by pausing at the start/end 
// of a ramble and typing this in console:
// 
// document.querySelector("video").currentTime
//
// (can hit [UP] and then [ENTER] in console
// to redo that command after the first time)
