Idk but I'm surprised I didn't see anyone lambasting this statement for being empty posturing even if totally sincere. There's no one there to fight back!
Friend who declined to attend my OBAA screening is suggesting a watch of "It was just an accident" which a quick search reveals is a political thriller by an Iranian "dissident" 😩
Don't want to be rude but color me not interested.
Prestige comedy thriller called The Hexbear Company wherein a deceloper is embarrassed during a work presentation by having PPB come up on his screen, causing an increasingly deranged hunt for those responsible.
Bagged vacuum cleaners also leak less dust, both in operation and while dumping. They also need to be emptied far less frequently than bagless vacuums!
I had a bagless shark for a while, and while I liked it, it recently died and was replaced by a bagged Riccar model. The bagged model really is much better at cleaning the air as it works. It's great!
The Dyson I use at work has a gimmicky design that's harder to use and feels cheap and flimsy compared to both of them while costing significantly more!
All the carbon in the coal is going into fiber instead of the atmosphere so that's a win, but it's a big entropy reversal so it will take a fair bit of energy, so it's a question of where the energy comes from.
The article implies that the main energy source for this is natural gas.
Well I've got a buddy whose colorblind and he's really sweet, kind, and caring. Also it doesn't come up much so you've probably met a decent number of nice colorblind people and you didn't even know it.
My brother going off at our Christmas get together about how his buddy became a marine to avoid jail time for participating in an irl fight club, has a Hegseth ass tattoo about the fields of the dead marking his passing, did 9 fucking tours and killed tons of people:
"but he's a good guy"
I told him those things are in direct contradiction, and he kept feeling the need to reiterate "but he's a good man" like it was some kind of bit. He was serious tho. Wild.
EDIT: to be clear this guy wasn't there, idk why he even brought it up.
The last two years they've had hannukah candies but not a single buyer (not a large Jewish population in the area). This year they don't and she got hassled for it lol.
They asked "Isn't that a little suspicious?"
To which I'd say no, but it is definitely an oversight in your inventory. At least make a token effort!
This is just vibes on my part but I feel like a part of that modern emptiness is not having enough extras onscreen. In Dune there were these huge sets shot in a way that highlighted the emptiness, maybe they thought having fewer people in them made them feel more epic? maybe it's just cheaper. The Atreides are heads of a planet-spanning aristocracy which has no "thinking machines". Surely they'd have attendants everywhere! Fremen sietches, and Arakkeen, should be absolutely bustling.
Blade Runner 2049 is a more open question. The design of LA suggests a huge population density but Earth's ecology is so fucked that surely we have population decline, so many of those apartments should be empty.
(I said production design but what I meant was art direction, oops!)
I just checked imdb and Dune (1&2) and BR 2049 had different art directors, set decorators, and costume designers. No idea how the budgets compare but I have to assume they were similar and people just have a hard time deciding how to art direct Dune. With Blade Runner here they had the benefit of being a sequel.
