  1. haha yes I met an older guy one time a long time ago who worked for NASA back in those days and he would tell slide rule stories comparing against our modern access to computers and such. Brilliant of course and EXACTLY the nasa type nerdy type stereotype that you would picture or imagine. Yes they frikkin memorized everything haha and could do those calcs on a slide rule freaking fast too

  2. 5:45; yes I have always been perturbed and annoyed with mega smart intelligent people who then act like it’s not a big deal. Because a lot of times they downplay their knowledge and expertise so hard that they end up not even being willing or able to answer questions from joeschmoes like me who are just curious and want to learn a little bit. And also it’s total bs fake humbleness anyways in my opinion. Like, a person can be up front and honest about all the cool shit they know about a thing without being a bragadocious dbag about it. Dah well😅 Such is life….

  3. yes and i am a general public😅. Not really a UFC fan either. I mean, I think it is cool and all, just have never really become a “fan nerd” about it like an nfl fan or an nba stats nerd would be like. So I will watch the JRE fight companions sometimes and just let myself be totally mesmerized even though I really have no idea what is going on or all the different fight intricacies that they talk about😅

  4. i mean yah they are sort of joking but it is also sorta true. Over the course of the early to mid 2000’s and 2010’s, sort of like, a “lull” in the socalled coolness factor of rocket things and space things for various reasons, amongst us millennials and zoomers. Not that it was not still cool, just that the publicity factors supporting the coolness sort of got, like pushed to the side for a while. Then along come the billionaires like Branson, and Bezos, and Musk pledging to make new advancements in space and rockets, and they sort of like, re-light the publicity factors to where it’s making the news a lot more and getting a lot more exposure. So yes, always cool, and more publicities and new publicities spread the “cool” to newer and younger generations.
