    Quick note on Paperclip: there's an entire genre of games called Idle clicker games. Paperclip is a somewhat deeper example of the genre.

    hot stoppers would go great in a gift basket with a bag of H.I. coffee beans and a Mug or Two. or maybe just an H.I. coffee mug with like 10 or 20 hot stoppers in it. so the other items cover the cost of selling them.

    Brady, you've taken the first step towards being a hoarder... turn back now, before it's too late. You'll end up paying thousands of Pounds to store this stuff for decades, then it'll all get thrown away at the end of that time.
    Under what circumstances will this stuff leave the storage space? If you can't honestly answer that question, you're doomed.

    Touching the outside of a plane quickly becomes reflex if you work with them for more than a week. If you touch the plane, you know where the plane is, without looking at it, which means you get significantly fewer headbumps. Also there is the whole issue of electrostatic discharges being undesirable.

    Can't astronauts just have a fun time during halloween and share it with the world? They are people, they deserve to dress up and have a chill fun time every once in a while, they don't have to be doing important space stuff all the time. NASA deciding to make a publicity stunt it is a whole other question, but don't blame the astronauts.

    • @matthewrobbins5493
      @matthewrobbins5493 7 років тому

      They can dress up personally fair enough but this is really public so it can't be just about the astronauts it's nasas image and mission on show

    • @CC-bp2hn
      @CC-bp2hn 7 років тому

      Well, i mean, if you really think about it, thousands of dollars are going into everything they do, every minute. NASA chooses people that can work on a constant schedule, because them being up there is a very expensive trip, both ways.

    • @thospe-f8x
      @thospe-f8x 6 років тому +4

      I know I'm late on this, but thank you. They go months and months without any comforts of home, limited access to their families, little connection to the real world or the ordinary passage of time, and he's going to gripe because they're having some levity posing for a holiday that he doesn't like.
      Surely, NASA saw this as a PR opportunity and it wouldn't surprise me if the astronauts themselves were aware of that when they did it. However, those kinds of comforts are expensive to transport, so some compromise has to be made. One take away from the photo: oh yeah, astronauts are people too, not some bronze statue or desk toy statically commemorating the peak of human achievement.
      Normally when Brady goes all hero worship like this, it's endearing. Here he sounded extremely petty. Like a kid throwing a fuss because a celebrity endorsed a sports team he doesn't like.

    At around 1:17:58 Grey mentions these video games that are just to explain an idea. What I thought of was A Slower Speed of Light, which was developed by MIT as a demo game to show players what it would look and feel like if your speed got closer to the speed of light, stuff like red-shift and blue-shift, and some relativistic effects.
    For the sake of a consistent player experience, they decided that instead of increasing your character's actual speed, throughout the 'game' you'd be able to lower the value of the speed of light, which as far as the demonstration of physical effects is concerned, is basically the same idea.

    This universal paperclips game is actually part of a whole genre of clicker games (although a i think more in depth) where the whole goal is to click a button to get currency then you can you that currency to but something to click the button for you and that just keeps going forever. I think the most well know is cookie clicker, but there are others like egg inc. and I have been addicted to many of them.

    So strange... I can play a 40 hour skirmish in a strategy game over the course of a week... but I don't have the patience for universal paperclips. There's just not enough user input required, and everything past the autoclipper takes far too long to unlock. Closed it after about 20 minutes.

    I don't get this "feeling bad about the number" thing. Put them up at whatever price makes it worth doing, and if people think that's too much, they can just... not buy a hotstopper? You're not coercing anyone, everyone can make their own decision about what they want to buy at what price.
