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.
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.
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.
In reference to the epilepsy point, yes it's possible. I have epilepsy and although I don't remember that from my childhood, I do know that mine used to be a lot worse than it is now. I also can't speak for everyone with epilepsy though.
coffee cups with the HI logo and u sell them for a more money then a usaly cup but you will be able to package them by attaching it with the cups. you can use bradys cuzin to do it.
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 just started the HI playlist and kept playing, if u decide not to start over in an alternate universe it ends when you have 30,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 paperclips
Paul Azzopardi Maybe the fuel tanks were filled so much they would have spilled fuel during takeoff and climbing (at a steep angle) (if there isn't a mechanism to prevent that).
There is a mechanism to prevent fuel from coming out on anything larger than a four seater it's a simple one way valve attached to the top of the fuel tank inside the wing (it probably broke)
Have you guys discussed net neutrality? I think that would be an interesting topic, and I would like to hear your opinions. I’m sorry if you have already discussed it, I am still catching up on the podcasts.
I tried the paper clip game. I made an auto click script in autohotkey and got bored after a few minutes and got back to writing my essay on Pavlovian responses.
He has a deep emotional connection to NASA, so it clouds his judgement :p I kinda get what he's saying though...it cheapens the mystique and aura of NASA, but that may not be a bad thing.
Grey and Brady I just wanted to let you both know that there is indeed a person who made it through the entirety of your video and doesn't know what a "hot stopper" is. THIS GUY!! LOL
Nope, the CASINOS never sleep here in Vegas. The REST of the city does. Which is a pain, since often if you work for a casino your schedule means when you are off work, nothing is open except the casinos, a few grocery stores and fast food joints.
I'm sorry Grey, but I ACTUALLY did not know what a Hotstopper was. I had to Google it. To which I found Brady's site talking about the campaign. I think the reason why I don't know what it is, is because I don't drink coffee, and have actually never been inside a Starbucks in my entire life. I know you must think I'm trolling you, but I truly and honestly did not know what one was before listening to this episode. Sorry to disappoint you, lol.
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.
The way they were talking, about how you click a button, get a resourse, use that resourse to click that button for you, it could be any idle game. When they alluded to it really opening up and getting intense, that's when it was cookie clicker.
hi i don't know what a hot stopper is, this was my first podcast and i made it all the way to the end and i feel deeply offended that grey stopped him from saying what they are so that i had to look it up myself
24:39 Exact same thing happened to my hard drive only corrupting windows 7 Other than that everything else is fine though it took some time to trouble shoot I needed another boot drive
Know someone who is a Social Recluse who isolates themselves in their home; send them some anonymous Razor Blades. Straight to the point words of wisdom there from Hello Internet....
Quick note on Paperclip: there's an entire genre of games called Idle clicker games. Paperclip is a somewhat deeper example of the genre.
Two words for the hotstopper problem:
Pyramid Scheme
That's what I call...
A hotstopper stopper.
They can call it Mary Grey.
This show makes me so happy when I listen to it. Just hearing the joy Brady's voice as he describes the self storage process.
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.
How about every purchase of a Hello Internet shirt or hoodie comes with a free limited edition Hello Internet hotstopper?
Yes that would be awesome, if they came out with more episodes...
This was my first podcast and i made it to the end and i don't know what a hotstopper is.
KevsCoolProductions you have to watch the other 92 at least 3 times each to unlock the true meaning of the hotstopper
New Tim? Hello there. Hotstoppers are those lil things you put in the coffee cup to plug the mouth hole so it doesnt spill out.
Same here KevsCoolProductions
34:15 - "I may go off a little bit..." - at least you gave some warning
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.
Mike Warot honestly, I think Brady is hoping to get buried with it...

Doing any traveling? Sell the hot stoppers at meetups so there's no shipping. And you can sell them cheap enough to not worry about returns.
That first Blackblaze bit is the greatest podcast ad I've even listened to.
"If a Willie is very small and black and white it's okay."
Hey Brady, it's not the size that matters; it's how you animate it.
Is it me, or Grey was trying to hypnotize me to use backblaze?
I signed up for Backblaze, and a few months later my laptop was destroyed... it saved my bacon.
I just bought an sd card a stored it at and different room than my computer. Even with no ridiculous subscription!
Brady should really sell the Numberphile brown paper! I would love to frame one and hang it on my wall.
Matt Wells he does sell them though! Or he used to. I am 100% sure he sold some before.
It would finally give him a side project to work on!
Your Backblaze ads were always pretty morbid, but this is a new level. Well done! :)

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

Maybe its more of an American things to dress up on Halloween as an adult
Found a plane crash on Google maps while I was listening to HI, 34°26'05.4"N 132°55'11.5"E
But what IS a wheat-a-bix?

Also this comment is beyond repair
GIYF
@@solidsteal What is going on with this comment?

So someone took hours out of his life to edit this just for the zooms when a person talks.
respect bruv dedication.
Brady: I want the ruth. i want the truth.
Grey: YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH.
Come one Brady, the astronauts can't have their own fun?
Include ~25 hot stoppers with each merch purchase
if you don't know what wheatabix are, this conversation is beyond repair
Alex Harris this made me chuckle bad.
The game genre is idle clicker, the first idle clicker to really gain popularity was cookie clicker.
I love how when you google "hotstopper", Brady's face comes up in the summary of the meaning.
Sounds like Brady's nephew is going to have a new jig with the hot stoppers.
The change in the video for the hotstoppers really made me laugh
17:04 the same exact thing you brain is doing when you look at cloud formations and see faces and stuff :)
25:37 ooooor encase it in lead ...
I agree with Brady. Everyone should know what Weetabix is
I laughed so hard when Brady was ranting about NASA! That is exactly what I thought.
oh man , the great drift war. i wasn't ready.
Brady went full on thunderstorm tsunami tornado on that parade holy crap.
28:02 That is so spot on!
"The Duke"
I wonder how long he's been waiting to use that one.

Uh oh, I clicked on it.... there are only paperclips now...
Where can I get the plushies
Similar experience with a game called frog fractions, that game is crazy.
That moment when you search to see if there was a new Hello Internet recently, and there was one 8 minutes ago.
Sell the hotstoppers at events, like any time where you are going to physically be with fans.
In reference to the epilepsy point, yes it's possible. I have epilepsy and although I don't remember that from my childhood, I do know that mine used to be a lot worse than it is now. I also can't speak for everyone with epilepsy though.
It has been 30 years. The world has perished. The only thing that stands on the face of the earth is my paperclip empire.
hi i just started listening to these any ones that a must see? or are better?
I did not know what a hot stopper was, I don't drink coffee.
coffee cups with the HI logo and u sell them for a more money then a usaly cup but you will be able to package them by attaching it with the cups. you can use bradys cuzin to do it.
One of the show notes links here but there's nothing about hotstoppers aside from the audio

Host a conference. Provide complementary hot chocolate and coffee and hot stoppers.
Does back blase work on phones because rip my old phone wish I had it
I spent way, way too many hours making paperclips, only to transform the entire universe into them...
Now I'm going to see if I can do it FASTER! ;-)
Trey and Brady at their best once again
Brady that port is for air to go into the fuel tank as the tanks drain
There might be an issue when the fuel is full before take off
Paul Azzopardi Maybe the fuel tanks were filled so much they would have spilled fuel during takeoff and climbing (at a steep angle) (if there isn't a mechanism to prevent that).
There is a mechanism to prevent fuel from coming out on anything larger than a four seater it's a simple one way valve attached to the top of the fuel tank inside the wing (it probably broke)
I agree 280 is too long, but I always felt that 140 was too short... I think 200 would be a nice number
I think Grey wants his wife to buy him some razors for Christmas.

Have you guys discussed net neutrality? I think that would be an interesting topic, and I would like to hear your opinions. I’m sorry if you have already discussed it, I am still catching up on the podcasts.
My God, Universal Paperclips ate my weekend. The worst part?
I told my roommates not to open it.
They opened it. On a Sunday night.
I tried the paper clip game. I made an auto click script in autohotkey and got bored after a few minutes and got back to writing my essay on Pavlovian responses.
Hot stopper are called Splash sticks at Starbucks. But Hot stoppers is a great name.
Great episode as always.
Honestly had no idea what a hot stopper is, so i googled it and who showed up? Brady of course
I actually didn't know what a hotstopper is.
Lmao weetAbix. Here in NZ they're weetbix.
Brady totally misunderstands the point of Halloween
He has a deep emotional connection to NASA, so it clouds his judgement :p
I kinda get what he's saying though...it cheapens the mystique and aura of NASA, but that may not be a bad thing.
1:22:24 What happened to Grey's voice? Cold, microphone change, or both?
Grey and Brady I just wanted to let you both know that there is indeed a person who made it through the entirety of your video and doesn't know what a "hot stopper" is. THIS GUY!! LOL
24:40 I thought he was going to say the podcast was going to finish.
I've always found the phrase "I didn't ______ myself, but.." bizarrely ambiguous.
so.. did you ______ while being someone *else* ?
I understand (I think) why they changed the thumbnail design, but I prefer the old design, it's a lot easier to figure out quickly what episode it is.
Nope, the CASINOS never sleep here in Vegas. The REST of the city does. Which is a pain, since often if you work for a casino your schedule means when you are off work, nothing is open except the casinos, a few grocery stores and fast food joints.
Allow people to purchase the hotstopper only when they purchase other merchandise as well.
You can ship the hotstopper with shirts, hoodies and such.
Brady, have you ever thought about selling the brown papers? I'd buy one, especially if you happened to still have the Epic Circles paper...
He used to auction them on ebay. Not sure when or why he stopped.
New here, so what's a hotstopper?
This was my first podcast
What did they post that got demonized?
I'm sorry Grey, but I ACTUALLY did not know what a Hotstopper was. I had to Google it. To which I found Brady's site talking about the campaign. I think the reason why I don't know what it is, is because I don't drink coffee, and have actually never been inside a Starbucks in my entire life.
I know you must think I'm trolling you, but I truly and honestly did not know what one was before listening to this episode. Sorry to disappoint you, lol.
Wait no number in the thumbnail?
Also wonder what the thumbnails will be like post HI 100
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.
What easter egg is in the theme?
Why didn’t they sell them in packs of 20?
there is an older photo of an astronaut doing superman
The paper clip thing sounds like SwarmSim
so this was in fact honestly my first podcast and i made it to the end so what is a hotstopper ;)
...did they just discover something like cookie clicker?
The way they were talking, about how you click a button, get a resourse, use that resourse to click that button for you, it could be any idle game. When they alluded to it really opening up and getting intense, that's when it was cookie clicker.
coocky clicker is trash, that hampers you progress with sneaky mechanics. Universal paperclips is a zen like experience I wouldnt want to miss.
By the end of this I was at 4000 paperclips made already
Really want a hot stopper even though I never get coffee 😅 you'll have to send them to passionate tims to act as distributors
Skylab 4 showed us that astronauts need a brake once in a while. If letting them dress up gives them a boost in morale, than I am cool with it.
Here in Australia they're not Weet-a-bix, they're just Weet-bix
I missed so many of these so now I’m confused
From 6 to 720 views in the few seconds since UA-cam recommend me this video. Damn.
hi i don't know what a hot stopper is, this was my first podcast and i made it all the way to the end and i feel deeply offended that grey stopped him from saying what they are so that i had to look it up myself
80% of the podcast is old references and inside jokes, you should start at the beginning, you won't regret it!
I'm surprised they didn't mention the Adelaide Tesla Battery news thing.
Also, have they just never played Cookie Clickers before?
I never plaed Cookie Clickers, but this one has an end if u dicide not to start over in an alternate universe ^^
thst start was on point
If you rent storage space, you are living in the wrong building
24:39 Exact same thing happened to my hard drive only corrupting windows 7 Other than that everything else is fine though it took some time to trouble shoot I needed another boot drive
Brady, you should give away the hot stopers at vidcons.
Know someone who is a Social Recluse who isolates themselves in their home; send them some anonymous Razor Blades. Straight to the point words of wisdom there from Hello Internet....
I'm a social recluse, and I just refresh my blades with a pair of old jeans. So much cheaper than even Scammy's.
This is a whole genre of game. XD
Well, I made paperclips. I actually made exactly 30.0 septendecillion paperclips. It's highly recommended.

donate the hot stoppers to coffee shops as advertesing
