Reply to Have you completely lost any desire to watch Everything, Everywhere All At Once? by Peon-Flux

i took a gamble and saw it on opening week, so i admit i did not experience the hype in the same way (before people started discussing it i tried to generate hype and get more people to watch it, because it was so transformative for me). however, its ultimate popularity blew me away. i can't imagine how people who came to it later must be feeling. i went to go see it with no knowledge regarding even the base plot, so i'm not sure what the experience of watching it would be like now. if you don't want to watch it, don't watch it. simple as.

cards on the table: i do think award shows are silly. to me, it's a flawed way to measure art. if you liked the northman, it shouldn't matter that it wasn't awarded, because it impacted you artistically, right? if you do decide to watch eeaao, base your opinion on whether or not you liked it on its own rather than whether or not you think it deserved the hype. that'll generate the most enjoyable experience.

Reply to comment by Apprehensive_Fuel873 in The reason you were born is to be productive & exploited your whole life, as a reward you're sold freedom in years that you wouldn't be a productive worker anyway. by KHUSTOM

I mean, I agree with you, but it’s kinda meaningless to say we weren’t born with our consent. That’s true of every human ever, so like, what’s the point? I get where you were taking it and I agree with you on the topic, just kinda think there’s a better way to approach that argument

Reply to comment by AcademicGravy in Heat Pumps could supply 20% of building heating by 2030. Supercritical CO2 heat pump sales in Japan have now reached a total of 8.5 million units. by DisasterousGiraffe

CO2 is better than other things GWP-wise, true, but it has no place in home installations given everything about it.

There is one place where it makes sense, system which accounts for probably most lost refrigerants while not caring about efficiency that much - car AC/pumps. And guess where they not actually use it forcing proprietary garbage 1234f...

So if CO2 is to be pushed for environmental reasons it should be used were power and efficiency is less of an issue than leaks, but hey, it's never about environment in the first place is it...
