It's Okay To Screw Up Sometimes, We Hope - Matt and Tom

Why was there a bit of grain and noise in the most recent season of Citation Needed? Here's a story, a motto that definitely isn't for use in your regular everyday life, and also a complete false start. MATT: http://YouTube.com/unnamedculprit | TOM: http://YouTube.com/tomscottgo Go here to apply to be in the audience for the next Citation Needed recording: http://techdif.co.uk/live/ Citation Needed Series 7: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nrU8Kh6Mf7o&list=PLu2ycIN65JoHpShTflSCPHVoQttaO7AOA&index=41 Citation Needed Series 1, in the kitchen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oIYcbJKSLxQ&list=PLu2ycIN65JoHpShTflSCPHVoQttaO7AOA Game On: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLu2ycIN65JoFm5FU5ijpAanlQ3RYLg1XD

http://tomscott.com - http://twitter.com/tomscott - ALL THE ELECTRICS I USED WERE UNPLUGGED. DO NOT DO THIS. Yep, I'm going all patriotic again. And while I'm willing to bet that a good number of British folks know the first half of this video, there's one thing about slack in here that I only just learned myself.

With 14 mins left in the camera, we asked twitter for questions.

Tom Scott is a man on a mission to explore interesting places and share them with the world. He explains why this city didn’t grow to fill its vast scope, and how it has evolved over the years into the small, thriving and growing community...

In Göttingen, Germany, there's a four-tonne steel ball that can be raised up a 14-metre tower -- and then dropped in less than two seconds, crashing back to earth. It makes tiny, artificial earthquakes: here's why. Thanks to all the team at Wiechert'sche Erdbebenwarte Göttingen! You can find out more about them here: https://www.erdbebenwarte.de/ Three things I had to cut out of this video, because they didn't quite fit into the story or because I couldn't film them: The reason the steel ball survived two world wars is because the university's records listed it by use as a "rock-ball", not by composition as...

It's been all over the British news today: developer Paul Price found a bug in photo-crap-maker Moonpig's site, one that might have exposed three million users' personal information. Paul's got a great technical post about it at http://ifc0nfig.com/moonpig-vulnerability/ -- but there's no decent non-techie explanation except for the one-paragraph summaries in newspapers. It was a perfect storm of tech incompetence: here's how to avoid doing it yourself.

Matt makes a note of silly things that make him laugh, whether from his mind wandering or odd conversations with friends. This is us, reading through the note. (included below too!)

Having spent the best part of three weeks travelling together, we thought it might be safer to do this week's park bench in the airport, so we get longer without seeing each other.

Now that's a self-explanatory title. A few weeks ago, we did a live stream of comment printing and shredding. This is how we did it. MATT: http://youtube.com/unnamedculprit TOM: http://youtube.com/TomScottGo We Shred Your Comments, Live! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vXwb_7DdZeQ

Matt would like to have a go at other people's jobs, just to see what they're like. Please keep your suggestions in the YT comments.

Sometimes we ****ing swear. (I try not to on camera; Matt, not so much.) Most of the time, we bleep it. But not always: here's why, along with diversions about Ofcom, "adult content", and Jazz FM -- from some garden chairs somewhere under the Heathrow approach path.
