Вставка
- Опубліковано 18 сер 2024
- Adam Savage (Mythbusters) and Randall Munroe (xkcd) are two of the best science communicators in the country. Join these two STEM icons on stage at BookCon for a remarkably smart and bizarre conversation. Munroe recently completed his latest book, HOW TO?, his latest work based on his wildly popular webcomic, xkcd, and Savage discusses EVERY TOOL’S A HAMMER: Life Is What You Make It, his new book that shares his golden rules of creativity, from finding inspiration to following through and successfully turning your idea into reality.

It's obvious that Adam is the more famous one, but I really love how he is actually having a fanboy moment. Come on, xkcd is awesome
Adam: "I hope you didn't set fire to anything your parents cared about"
Randall: *looks guiltily at camera*
i think randall just literally always looks guilty
@@suddenpenguin he might be and that’s why he posted BLM propaganda on his comic site:( a guilty white man
It seems obvious in hindsight, but until watching this I hadn’t fully realized that Randall has managed to turn falling down Wikipedia rabbit holes into a profession.
To be fair to him, I fall down rabbit holes but I have neither the artistic talent nor the NASA level coding and math skills to prove any of the things I think upon and monetise the result. So he's doing more than a wiki-walk (TVTropes will ruin your life®)
"Wood glue glues wood so good, it's stronger than wood"
What a line
It's also true. If you glue wood properly, and then impact it hard enough, the wood will fail before the glue joint does.
This is so good. I seriously love both Adam and Randall and have loved their work over the years.
I would love to hear that convo between Munroe and Hadfield
Right? I want to see the list and the responses.
2:00 in - as per the Schlock Mercenary comic, "Failure isn't an option. It's mandatory. The option is whether or not to let failure be the last thing you do."
Damn. I may have to start reading Schlock Mercenary again. That's good.
After watching the whole thing, it's kinda sad randall wasn't given enough atention, especially at 30:57. feels like everyone just cares about adam
A fun glue trick combination i like to use for all sorts of projects is twine and wood glue. Wrap the twine around the joint you need to be strong, and add the wood glue and it becomes like wrapping that joint in wood. Makes a kick-ass popsicle tower.
The worst case scenario is one of the most fun things to think about all the time. -- Adam Savage
I was 8 minutes in before I could place the voice of... Ira Flatow from science Friday's on NPR.
Thought that voice was familiar, and he was my first candidate!
Randall Munroe is the only way I survive religion class. I can never imagine him as the man behind cueball, Meghan, and Black hat, white hat, and Beret Guy, though.
Yeah, like, he's nice but he's not a stick figure
Storm Mechmesteren right, but I have trouble imagining by him as the person who creates that, you know?
Coincidentally, cyanoacrylate glue happens to be my go-to as well, especially for plastics, but I also keep a stock of wood glue and 5-minute epoxy on hand.
Trying to find the setup to Kurt Vonnegut's favourite joke, which Adam referred to, has turned into a rabbit-hole of fruitless internet searches. How Meta, I suppose.
Anyone know it?
Keep your hat on, we could end up miles from here.
my understanding is that the joke is that your trying to figure out the joke
@@Zektb I'm thinking maybe something to do with dropping ballast from a hot air balloon
IRBenHunter He quoted the punchline in many writings/interviews, usually as "the punchline to my favorite joke..." but occasionally just as "as a dear friend once told me..." or the like. He never actually said the joke itself.
The interviewer's voice is so comforting. He sounds incredibly familiar but I can't quite figure out who he sounds like.
Ira Flatow! (At first, I thought it was Robert Krulwich, former co-host of Radiolab).
@@ryomichael Oh thank you!
Only ~1800 views?!!
UPDATE 2022-05-01: That’s more like it.
I didn't know this existed until about 2 minutes ago!
YT recommendation algorithm works in mysterious ways
Four years later, there are 41 comments on this video. Only 41. I want others to see this - Adam and Randall is like Diet Coke and Mentos.
"Certified to drive at 140 mph" - You mean, a standard German driver's license?
Why is Ira Flatow passing over Randall so often? Randell lifts his microphone to speak - and Ira asks for another question.
Now I have a 'questing beast' moment: Perhaps that's why Adam is wearing his hat, and I want to know what Kurt Vonnegut's favorite dirty joke is. Investigating this is BOUND to take me down some rabbit holes. 😂
How did this conversation happen... and not result in the end of the world?!
Randall doesn't know how to use a microphone. Adam does.
I have to ask: Is that Ira Flatow moderating? They aren't credited
this was one of Bill Gates reading selection
Randall nerd snipes himself constantly.
Randall Monroe sounds as mad as Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg!
do yall think randall is on the spectrum perhaps
