Uncensoring study.com lessons is actually pretty simple- it only requires devling into the developer-tools in Google Chrome
NOTE: This trick only unblocks the lesson transcripts, I haven't explored getting access to the full lesson video yet.

Here are the steps:
1. Go to a lesson of choice on study.com and open the developer-tools in Chrome (example URL: 
   http://study.com/academy/lesson/root-cap-function-definition-quiz.html)
2. Use the page inspector tool and select the "Lesson Transcript" text. Confirm that in the Elements tab of the dev tools, 
   the line "<span>Lesson Transcript</span>" is highlighted (should be under a div that has the id "transcriptHeader")
3. Hit the dropdown triangles of "<div class="transcriptContainer articleContent" data-cname="main_content>" and 
   <div id="mainArticle" class="transcript" data-cname="lesson_transcript"> (the latter should appear after the contents of

Normalize volume level with PulseAudio and simultaneous output

This should work conceptually on any Linux OS with PulseAudio but these particular instructions are for Ubuntu. There are two major reasons for using simultaneous output. The first is self-evident - we can output to say a bluetooth headset and wired headphones at the same time to enable two people to watch a movie with headphones on a single computer. The second reason is a sort of a convenience for setup. We know the simultaneous sink name so the default.pa config would work without modification so long as simultaneous output is enabled. If we were to set this up without that, we'd have to customize the config with our specific device sink name. That's totally doable but personally I always setup simultaneous output. That's why I haven't described the alternative in this gist.
