Shatner is a colossal Trumpian prick. Even if you hate Trek in all its form, The Captains is still a worthwhile watch because it shows him in all his glory as an oblivious narcissist freak. It's like a Christopher Guest meets David Brent meets Alan Partridge thing, and it's clear everyone he interacts with despises him. Plus he spends the whole doc shilling for Bombardier private jets in the most hilariously transparent way, it's amazing. E: forgot it also has a scene with Avery Brooks psychologically assaulting Shatner through the medium of jazz piano, which has one of the most powerful energies of anything ever put on film Failed Imagineer fucked around with this message at 18:31 on Jan 2, 2021 |

The Question IRL posted:I've done the research about Electric v Gas v Induction. I persuaded 'Er Indoors on an induction hob for the new gaff. Part of it was compromising on it being a super-pricey Smeg job (apparently their cookers are good but their fridges are poo poo), and tbf it looks well nice and is Which?-approved. Also got a €30 induction tabletop hob for while our kitchen was demolished during renovations, and within a day she was persuaded that even that piece of poo poo was better than our previous cooker. The next battle is an OLED TV. I need those blacker-than-blacks. No racism.

It's a shame we can't/don't have wind turbines made of some kind of organic material that could encourage the growth of epiphytes and form its own ecological niche. I'm sure there's a lot of reasons not to do this - like those materials not existing, and structural/tensile strength, and durability, but still the concept gives me a Kim Stanley Robinson vibe and I want the eco-future before I am an old man goddammit!

Ewan posted:Why are you all focusing on wind turbines on hills anyway. Offshore wind is where it's at. Just build gently caress off massive wind turbine clusters off shore in the windy seas and we all good. Build some nuclear plants for your base load too and you have a green, sustainable mix. Maybe a couple of back up 'clean' (yes I know it's not completely clean) gas, just in case for those cold wintery days of surge energy. By far the coolest part of watching Tenet was the epic offshore wind farm shots. The second coolest thing was going to the cinema during a pandemic to see an utterly confused sci-fi Bond movie/watch ad
