Lmao at the critical response to Dr. No, the first novel: Wikipedia posted:The most strongly worded of the critiques came from Paul Johnson of the New Statesman, who, in his review "Sex, Snobbery and Sadism", called the novel "without doubt, the nastiest book I have ever read". Johnson went on to say that "by the time I was a third of the way through, I had to suppress a strong impulse to throw the thing away". Johnson recognised that in Bond there "was a social phenomenon of some importance", but this was seen as a negative element, as the phenomenon concerned "three basic ingredients in Dr No, all unhealthy, all thoroughly English: the sadism of a schoolboy bully, the mechanical, two-dimensional sex-longings of a frustrated adolescent, and the crude, snob-cravings of a suburban adult." Johnson saw no positives in Dr. No, and said, "Mr Fleming has no literary skill, the construction of the book is chaotic, and entire incidents and situations are inserted, and then forgotten, in a haphazard manner."

Smoking in airplanes is insane but man, even economy had so much legroom so all things considered it was probably worth it Heck most of us are old enough to remember smoking in restaraunts, and I guess there are parts of the US where you can still smoke in bars? Unbelievable, and I like a smoke when I'm at the bar lol

I worked for a mall for a couple years, and one nightshift we were killing time watching clips they'd digitised from the old VHS cameras. Whatever we were watching was in the foodcourt, and there was a big glass wall that you couldn't really see through that wasn't there in the present. I asked the old engineering guy hanging out in our office what was up with that and he was like 'oh yeah that's the smoking area, there wasn't enough ventilation in there so every time around lunch it would be a solid mass of smoke'. And the video was from the late 90s lmao

In the three Bond books I've read (Casino Royal, Diamonds are Forever, and From Russia with Love) there has always been some form of ball trauma scene. Always a villain stomping Bond's or someone else's dick in to show how unhinged and evil they are.

Foo Diddley posted:yeah the "smoking section" lmao. as if putting the smokers ten feet away from everyone else was going to magically get rid of the smoke gently caress you people are making me feel old. This sounds like opposite lane but the smoke did indeed magically disappear before it reached the rest of the plane. There used to be these vent things above the passenger seats which would suck all the smoke upwards and then pump fresh air in. The air quality on 1980s planes was much much better than the system of recirculating coronavirus we have today, even with the guy next to the 8 year old smoking and drinking all flight. That’s not an argument for bringing back smoking, but the fact that they were not forced to upgrade the poo poo air systems they use to day during the pandemic is an actual crime.

It was like having a pissing and non-pissing section of a pool. Didn't work at all and I'm amazed people were able to delude themselves that it did.

learnincurve posted:gently caress you people are making me feel old. Air systems on planes haven't really changed, like, at all. It's all bleed air from the engines/APU in a unified and compartmentalized pneumatic system. There may have been negative pressure vents but even that air was just being pulled back into the same pneumatic system. EDIT: also pressurized aircraft are not a closed system. There's always an outflow valve constantly letting out just enough air to maintain pressurization, so the air is constantly replaced with new bleed air. Yes, there's some recirculation, but not as much as you think. Gomez Chamberlain fucked around with this message at 22:22 on Oct 20, 2022 |

I'm sorry but this is the most boomer thing possible to say. It's so definitive, yet has zero basis in reality other than "early times better". Like the airplane designers are sitting there all "oh there's no more smoking? Finally, we can downgrade our airplane ventilation system, despite already having the infrastructure in place for the current one."

I don't know where you're observing this but thank God we're not still stuck in the '80s and '90s food-wise. Where I live there was nothing but burger bars, white people-only Mexican food, and really bad "Chinese" food back then. The only option for a fancy night out was a steakhouse. The culture around food is so much better now

The culture around food is so much better now 20 years ago, pho was completely unheard of around here. Now, there are two pho and banh mi joints within walking distance of my home. Sushi was the “gross foreign food” comedy option, and now you can get it at petrol stations. Sure it’s overpriced as all gently caress and we’ve got corporate greed to blame for that, but the available options are so much better.

Like the airplane designers are sitting there all "oh there's no more smoking?

The fresh air does cost the airlines more money, its temperature has to be adjusted, ect... The companies realized they didn't need as much and the newer (like after 1990) planes do recirculate a lot more of the air then they used to.

ianmacdo posted:But this post is equally stupid, with no facts. It’s going to depend on which airline people are thinking of, your lovely budget airlines or internal American flights are going to be radically different to decent airlines like Qantas and BA in that they have always been shite. The smoking ban gave the established big name companies the excuse to use cheaper, less effective, systems to save weight and fuel. It’s one of the cumulative reasons they have been able to cram more seats in planes. IDK if this is not something Americans have been made aware of but Europeans have known about the air quality on planes going down for decades.
