I mean the modern skyscraper is definitely built very different these days.
The world trade center used hollow exterior support so they could avoid having support columns interrupting the floor plans and large central support columns but you can see what happens when the exterior support gets damaged and heat causes sag from the weight.

Advanced techniques usually mean less material and faster build times.
You know what was even more solid? A huge pile of rocks in the shape of a pyramid.

I saw it and the theater had 6 Gen-X/Boomer white men in it, my weird self and SO (who wanted to leave), and a group of 4 millenials mocking the movie in it.

First hour was pretty engrossing and the end is wild but I get why it's hard to review. It's definitely a mashup of all of Francis Ford Coppola's favorite things and complaints he has.

But it's an optimists dream like view of reality. It's akin to Inside by Bo Burnham, except far more hopeful and less pointed, and more like a club to bludgeon you with the message with.

I kinda wish he had an even more limited budget to work with to inspire some real avant garde creativity but I'll take what we got.

I don't think it needs to make it's money back. I don't think that's what Coppola was going for. I'm not sure it will even be a cult classic (kinda depends what society does next) and I think that side thought is basically all of Coppola's point. His medium to talk is just that of film.

Can we just go back to having a legitimate conductor who also has a protected union job that is properly staffed so that they can do occasional walks through the train to be able to offer ticketing services that allow for rapid and mass transit for the masses that connect us in a way that allows for fucking easy travel.

Please! Or can we at least stop treating trains like an old existing extension of the singularly for profit monopolies paid by the government they were and just straight up have been allowed to become again!

Boring?

The "has to release from the inside" capsule from an American oligarch Monopoly company that only got the contract because it begged the government to come up with a way to make more money for their stock prices, that they assumed was their contract so hard they squandered millions of the budget and was months off schedule, is barely attached to a space station and the day will now have to be saved by the guy who runs a nazi apologist website we all caller "shitter"...

Is boring??

Pshh fellow comrades....

Then you haven't seen the movie theater ad they are showing where they ask the Genini AI to write a break up letter for them.

Anyone that does that, deserves to be alone for the rest of their days.

Did you know you can store smoked salmon at room temp pretty much indefinitely in an unopened package?

Food storage has gotten really good, all the tricks of smoke, sugar or salt of our ancestors with now radiation sterilization and other cool tricks with science.
All that to say. It's probably fine. You just bought it and I'm sure this was made to last as long as it can as reliably as it can so that they don't lose money.

Most best buy dates are just made up anyways and not based on much. Check for gas build up, a weird odor, extreme discoloration, or foreign objects or growths. That will get you through pretty much every rotten food type without having to taste it.

That's said, where are you shopping that has a mixture of Japanese, Chinese, French, and robot codes?

Ignorance is totally fine and it's insane they don't make it easier to find since it's so helpful.

So it's actually enabled via the "View" drop down menu.
Will actually be the option that says "Search Engine"

And from there you should just see a little tab appear at the top underneath the quick action buttons called search with a magnifying glass.

Bottom right of the screen has the abilities to add more search sites via plugins and are really easy to import directly from URL and I like to keep my search just to enabled sites because some of them are in foreign languages.

Let me know if you need more help.

Very cool. I still have stock jellyfin and a completely manually managed server so this stuff always feels like an eventual goal but also somehow unnecessary since I really don't mind the manual nature cause it keeps me from over downloading stuff.

But... But price only go up?
The sky daddy book of economics says price only ever goes up and concentrated wealth is a good thing

Honestly seems like a mercy from the dragon. That society wouldn't survive having to take her back

No. Merch has direct profit that has a much larger margin than streaming. It's just a new cash flow for them. Same reason patreon was offering merch and discord too.

You have an asset in land and physical goods to sell for money. It's not complicated why they are pivoting to it.
