OMG, the French "pissette". Last semester I was there for an internship, took me a full week to get used to it. Then there was the "râteau", used only by one of my colleagues (the strongest) when he was clearly loosing (very rare).

Thank you very much, now I want to play Universal Paperclips so bad.

Yeah, IMHO that’s one of the funniest and best computer games ever. For those who haven’t played it, I can warmly recommend it.

I assign it as homework in my microeconomics class.

There must be some point before the game ends where it must surely transition to macroeconomics homework.

Deep cut

First clip's free: An historical drama new to Netflix exploring a parallel historical reality in which all socialist revolutions are pre-empted with funding and covert support by agents of a shady dynasty of paperclip industrialists.

Well I'm sold!

Cool! How do the students react? :)

Generally the whole senior class gets addicted to it; other faculty wonder about what's up with this paperclip game... maybe about a third of students take it not just through "monopoly" (the assignment) but to the very end.

So much of what we talk about in micro is in there; price and profit maximization; market power and monopoly; game theory; production possibilities increasing through technology; etc.

it's like 6h when you know what you are doing :-)

As others have done, I first looked for my house. I noticed something I hadn't noticed ever, namely a spot in the neighborhood that is shaded for most of the day. A good trick to know when summer comes and you want to keep your car cool.
