I can’t stand more than a few minutes of this dude talking", "One of the terrible effects of that orange asshole becoming President is how many idiot, mediocre white men (and at least one woman I guess) convinced themselves they need no actual skills in anything to become rich simply by bullshitting and telling people they have something of value that doesn’t exist. They don’t even think of themselves as criminals. They’re just convinced this is how the world works and they deserve to be on top.\n\nEdit-Sorry I forgot I was on Reddit where “mediocre white male” is the worst slur imaginable", "There's a NY Times article with all the bullet points, just earch for \"Adam Neumann has regrets about his time at WeWork.\"", "I watched it so you don't have to. The TL;DR: is that some of the charges that were leveled at the guy are, in his telling, untrue or at least skewed in their presentation. This isn't really surprising. The news operates for outrage and clicks. Specificially:\n\n- There was an accusation of self-dealing, but Neumann says that the board and top investors approved each transaction and his family office did not make money on those transactions. That doesn't actually make the transactions not self-dealing. But if it was self-dealing to WeWork's detriment, there were an awful lot of people who were OK with it whose economic incentives were aligned with keeping things above board.\n- There were accusations about him disrespecting employees by making diva-ish demands like setting up Apple TVs on the private plane for his kids. He dodged this one so it seems most likely to be true.\n- There is some bullshittery about making whole the people whose options are underwater. Nice if it were to happen, but honestly don't join a startup if you're not up for this risk. Those people all thought the company was a rocketship in 2017, and they were wrong, just like Neumann was.\n- There was an interesting discussion about the lawsuit against Softbank and the rationale behind that. Apparently SoftBank had contracted to make a payment of 3B but cancelled that at the start of corona. The lawsuit was about compelling this payment. When WeWork got SPAC'd, SoftBank settled and paid half what they originally signed up for.\n- There is an honestly stupid accusation that WeWork was substantially similar to Theranos. Uh. Nope. Neumann rightly rejects this accusation. First of all, advertising fake medical devices or services is way, way worse than the worst thing you could do in commercial real estate. Second, only one of the CEOs of these two companies is headed to federal prison. Third, WeWork is profitable next Q, supposedly, which was never ever going to happen with Theranos.\n\nI mean, I'm sure I skipped some things but this is what stood out to me.", "Mediocre white men like Elizabeth Holmes.\n\nMediocre white men like Lauren Boebert.\n\nMediocre white men like Candace Owens.", "It’s called being racist, stop acting like a victim.", "Are you saying that the planet isn’t just some thing for me to exploit for profit?

Another 20 years will pass and it still won't be complete.", "Then don't complain about cost overruns. Any land that's worth anything is bought up. How are we supposed to build anything for the public good?", "I totally agree that the cost overruns and delays have been outrageous, especially when compared with similar scale projects abroad. That said I have a few quibbles with the above:\n\n* Length: The 380-mile CHSR is not longer than Japan's longest rail line, which is the [Tohoku Shinkansen](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T%C5%8Dhoku_Shinkansen) at 419 miles.\n* Travel time: CHSR train stations at Union Station in LA and Salesforce Center in SF will be easily accessible compared to airports at the city fringe. When also considering TSA and check-in times, the stated 2:40 hour goal is likely faster than flying.\n* Price: Ticket cost remains to be seen, but it's important to note that the carbon externalities of fossil-fueled powered planes are terrible for the climate. Switching to trains is the only [sustainable](https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/news/976/cpsprodpb/16D76/production/_108485539_optimised-travel_carbon-nc.png) choice.\n* Zoning for higher density and building affordable housing is only viable if we simultaneously build public transit to move these new residents around. Traffic is already horrific in California and adding new drivers doesn't help.", "Budget appropriately and expect that people being forced out of their homes are going to fight over it.", "The slowest and most expensive “high speed” rail in the world…\n\nInitially approved in 1996…\n\n“the cost of the project has risen from an estimate of $33 billion in 2008 to $80 billion by 2020”", "It's going from Bakersfield to Merced. The rest is just proposals. The whole thing is a massive boondoggle.", "Why am I grooving to an update on California public works projects?", ">\\-1\n\nUnfortunately because this is an afterthought it is more expensive. The longer we prolong this as a solution the more expensive it will cost.\n\nHigh speed rails are more carbon neutral than cars. Faster than airplanes if you include the boarding process and travel to airport. Also just as unfortunate is people that can forecast the future as it offends their narrow financial planning.", "A lot of these viaducts are just ridiculous. I get that this is supposed to be a quite high speed rail system and that you have to have both grade separation and very gentle curves and elevation changes, but for most of these it would make more sense to leave the tracks on the ground, cut off the road, and if absolutely necessary, build a road bridge or underpass. My guess is that cutting off these tiny roads in the middle of the central valley would be bad politics or something, so it's millions of dollars per viaduct instead.", "Bakersfield to Merced is like 200 miles and covers a huge portion of the stretch from SoCal to NorCal. Its a pretty logical place to start. Also note all the associated infrastructure upgrades that come with this as well, numerous road expansions and upgrades, etc. It probably is costing too much and taking too long for various reasons but it will certainly pay dividends in the long run. An additional transportation link between SoCal and NorCal to supplement road, traditional rail, and air travel will be a HUGE economic growth driver dwarfing the billions spent on construction. California has a multi-trillion dollar GDP.\n\n&#x200B;\n\nedit : A \\_3 Trillion\\_ dollar yearly GDP to be precise. The money spent on this project over the course of a decade is chump change relative to the size of California's economy.", ">Budget appropriately and expect that people being forced out of their homes are going to fight over it.\n\nHow can you budget appropriately if you're expecting people to fight over the price of their homes past the point of an appropriate amount?\n\nThese people do deserve to be fairly compensated, but if their idea of fair compensation is fair compensation+1, you can't make a proper budget.", "Very good post. The rail line will be much faster and more convenient than driving and will be roughly on par with flying in terms of total actual travel time and likely ticket cost. \n\n Yes its costing too much...but people need to calm down and take a look at California's GDP and annual state budget. The numbers are NOT really that outrageous relative to California's economy and state budget. To say nothing of the long term economic return of further merging SoCal and the Bay Area into a single economic block...this drives massive gains in efficiency and economic growth.", "Are you surprised by this? You thought it was only ever going to cost that first amount and nothing extra?", "Did you actually think it wasn’t going to go over budget? Did you really expect a massive project like this to…fuckit of course you did.", ">How can you budget appropriately if you're expecting people to fight over the price of their homes past the point of an appropriate amount?\n\nBudget for an appropriate amount, and then add a reasonable amount on top of that to cover the extra.\n\n>These people do deserve to be fairly compensated, but if their idea of fair compensation is fair compensation+1, you can't make a proper budget.\n\nYou can, though. Tack 30% (or whatever) onto the estimated value for each piece of land you are buying up. You would likely come under budget, as plenty of people are not going to fight tooth and nail.\n\nThis should be extremely difficult and costly for the government to do. They'll take thirty years to build something that will almost certainly not benefit me, and I'm just supposed to accept whatever pittance they throw at me for forcing me out of my home? It should be the absolute minimum for my property, plus the cost of moving, some extra if it makes my commute longer, and the opportunity cost for simply forcing me to move and having to put my kids in a new school. Are my property taxes on my new home more expensive than my current one? That should be considered as well.", "I am sure all of the people in this thread claiming that homeowners should just roll over on a whim are homeowners themselves. /s", "Yes I am surprised…not because price increase but due to the cost compared to other trains of similar construction…the Japanese bullet train network cost $100 billion but is 5 times the size, 10x more efficient, always on time, and clean….the California “high speed” rail, will be the slowest “high speed” rail in the world, and most expensive per mile…\n\nFor $80-$100 billion, we should be getting a trans continental hyper loop focused on freight", "At what point does it become too much? What limit would you draw for it to say the project is a massive failure?", "How do you budget for that? Real estate is a dynamic market. This is the definition of an overrun. r/iamverysmart. Another cl0wn who thinks he has common sense but doesn't understand the complexities of the world", "Sure, kid. \n\nAll I said was that I don't blame anyone for fighting tooth and nail over their property. You asked how we are supposed to build anything for public good, which isn't my problem or what I was addressing. Therefore, my answer was \"budget appropriately\". Why the fuck would you think some random anonymous internet person is going to be able to explain to you how to build public infrastructure? \"Ask stupid questions\", I suppose.\n\nHowever, if real estate is a \"dynamic market\", then how would anyone budget eminent domain in the first place? If the market is going to be dynamic, a bunch of landowners fighting for higher property values isn't going to change that.\n\nIt sounds like you don't have any more answers than I do. You just want a high speed rail, and you're appalled that landowners might not roll over so easily.

Private beach, so just my dad, my older sister and I while we were there for our annual summer visit. Dad was teaching us to snorkel - had borrowed masks/snorkels for sis and I, and only he had fins for his feet. So we paddled out past the breaks to look at what we could see in the water for a little while, perfectly fine. My sister and I were both decent swimmers. \n\n\nDad paddles back in - about 30 feet ahead of us, because he had fins where we had bare feet - and then he sits in the sand watching while my sister and I .. . get caught at the beginning of a cycle of immensely big crashing waves. We took big breaths and dove low to get under the break of the first wave ... and got churned like a spin cycle of a washing machine but in every direction all at once. My mask and snorkel got ripped off my face around my neck. By the time I finally saw/touched air again - still in water far too deep to stand - I spit out sand and seawater, gasped for air and saw ... my sister, about 40 feet down the beach, still struggling, and ... a 100-foot wave already about to break right on top of us. (It wasn't really 100 feet. Sure felt like it was though.) That moment lasted a lifetime, waiting for that giant wave to crash on top of us and knowing there was nothing anyone or anything could do to help, and no matter how big a breath I took or how deep I dived ... I was going to get tossed and churned again endlessly, with no way of knowing if I'd surface again. \n\n\nWe got tossed a second time, and when I finally got up for air that time I ripped the mask and snorkel off and threw it towards the beach since the waves were continually beating it around my face and neck every time I went under. It's hard to throw an object when you're desperately trying to say afloat and gasp for air. I tried to make headway towards shore briefly while watching the next looming 100 foot wave break on top of us. Same infinite moment, waiting for the wave to hit, then to see if I'd surface from it. We got tossed a third time, a fourth . . . somewhere in there I actually panicked and shrieked for help while my sister tried to shout instructions to me (while she herself battled to breathe/swim). Every time we'd survive the immense (AND I MEAN IMMENSE) churn, still another wave would come. It felt endless. Dad sat on the beach watching, figuring we'd learn how to master it? Somehow. Even when the waves started to die down in the cycle they still felt impossibly big, impossibly overwhelming. We each eventually crawled out of the ocean on our hands and knees hundreds of feet away from each other, and went into shock. \n\n\nLater we figured out it was a high tide, full moon, storm in the surf up from Mexico. Not conditions for casual swimmers. Not at all. Parts of that borrowed mask and snorkel I'd thrown - plexiglass ripped from the housing somehow - washed up on the beach the next day, shredded. \n\n\nIt wasn't that I didn't already have an immense amount of respect for the power of our oceans.

Respiratory alkalosis is what you experience when you hyperventilate as you breathe out more CO2 than your cells produce and replace making your blood more basic… if you start holding your breath at this point you haven’t done much to increase the oxygen in your cells… but it’s gonna take a lot longer to become acidotic due to the build up of carbonic acid from the CO2 you aren’t breathing out (you can breathe out once, but that’s not gonna make much difference). The first and most panic inducing symptoms of suffocation is that feeling like you need to breathe caused by pH sensors, not oxygen sensors. When you run low on oxygen you tend to just… get tired… confused… fuzzy… and pass out. It’s one reason carbon monoxide poisoning is so dangerous… it displaces oxygen, binding to hemoglobin instead, but CO2 comes from you and if it’s not building up or running out your body’s alarms don’t get tripped.

What happend exactly?", "Sorry, I have no details.", "get off your high horse and go fuck yourself", "You know that’s what my original comment’s point was? Oxygen levels are more difficult for our bodies to detect accurately on a non local level than CO2 levels for several reasons. Especially since blood can be depleted of oxygen at multiple points near different muscle groups using up most available oxygen in their blood supply at times when the brain is completely fine in terms of oxygen supply… \n\nThe biochemistry of hemoglobin molecules and internal and external respiration being a much more rapid “everything’s fine to oxygen deprivation of the brain” since we can only really detect free oxygen concentration easily…detecting how much bound hemoglobin vs unbound hemoglobin is a much tougher job to measure and integrate systemically. Especially when we regularly have cells that are meant to, and often do, function just fine without oxygen for short or long term periods… just not our CNS neurons. \n\nBased on our internal sensors the transition from high O2 saturation to low in our brain’s cells is more like an exponential decay over a few seconds compared to the rate of blood pH dropping… CO2 has the advantage as a signaling molecule by being one that tends to increase and decrease CLOSER to a linear amount as our gas exchange is impaired or disabled and directly impacts blood pH, a set point that has very predictable (in a way… not implying we know what secondary or tertiary structure a protein will have at any pH intuitively) and consistent effects on proteins, especially receptors meant to provide a global network of blood pH sensors that all contribute to a single integrator. \n\nSo usually we get the signal that our blood pH is dropping as carbonic acid levels increase since we aren’t getting rid of excess CO2… our body senses this falling lower and lower and we panic…. That’s why we breathe into paper bags when we’re hyperventilating due to a panic attack which can increase respiratory rates beyond what keeps us at a pH balance and can induce alkalosis solved by increasing the amount of CO2 in the air we are breathing without necessarily removing oxygen…. Hence loose paper bag, not plastic bag. \n\nTLDR: making sure you know that was explicitly what my post was about… I thought you were summarizing for people but thought I’d elaborate for others and let you know what I meant by my follow up comment. I don’t think you read all of either but doesn’t mean others don’t, and I like to make sure I address misleading comments I make, which, as you point out, a brief glance at only the first few sentences might result from mine.", "Damn.

Whenever someone asks me about the film, i always tell them to watch it with some good speakers and a big screen. \n\nA scene that comes to mind when trying to explain it. The ship that is shown in the youtube clip that rises from the sea. When the cannons fire. The sound effect when it gets quite then suddenly it opens fire. The entire theatre was shaking. The sound, shaking really puts it into perspective, for me atleast on how massive these ships are.", "I don't agree at all. While yes, the stuff in the movie was huge, the movie itself felt small. I never got the feeling of a colossal intergalactic empire like Star Wars, or a giant story like LOTR. It's a very small world with some big objects in it. I feel it completely missed the forest for the trees. \n\nMaybe I'm alone in this, but I've seen a lot of big things in movies. I've seen a star destroyer crash into another star destroyer, and a moon sized space station. A giant worm tried to eat the millennium falcon in 1978 (give or take a few years, I dunno). The physical size of objects in a movie isn't impressive on its own anymore. \n\n>Even the small scenes are elevated by the score\n\nI count this against the movie. The score never shuts the fuck up. My ears are tired. The small scenes are a necessary break from the action. They aren't meant to be elevated. If anything, it diminishes the big scenes that actually need elevation (and boy do they need it). If the music is telling me that everything is a big action climax, then it isn't really telling me anything at all. \n\nThe entire movie felt like a montage, or worse, a 2.5 hour trailer for itself. I can't even describe the plot of the film in a way that makes sense. It's just a loose collection of cool scenes, not a cohesive story. All I remember visually is a long montage of desert shots, and musically the long drawn out droning and wailing. That's it.", "I mean, they travel between multiple planets and concretely address the existence of overlapping and interworking intergalactic governments, economic structures, and religions.

I have no idea why atreides is on arrakis, except that they were told to go there. I have no idea why the bad guys want it back, or who the sardukar are, or that there even is an emperor.

He's willing to use time, on a lingering single shot, purely to emphasise scale. \n\nI'm thinking in particular of the alien ships moving in Arrival, and the bit shown in this video where the spaceship is coming out of the sea. \n\nLots of directors would be scared to waste 30 seconds just on a ship coming out of the water, or 30 seconds on an alien ship tilting 90 degrees.\n\nLots of films have big shit, moving way too fast to be realistic. \n\nSee: Anything in Transformers.\n\nI find it really odd that this guy didn't really mention the slowness of everything that's meant to be big.", "Honestly, I've seen thousands of films in my lifetime, Dune 2021 wasn't that impressive.

The movie was always going to feel tighter since it's only half of the first book. Unlike Star Wars: A New Hope, quite a bit is left out and remains unexplained (like the spacer guild, the emperor, origin of sandworms, other major houses, or how spice makes space travel possible). \n\nPersonally, Dune felt like Star Wars for adults. The music was multi-cultural and awe inspiring when contrasted with the visuals of their ships (big and small), size of infantry, or just the scale of ships descending from the spacer gates (also not explained).\n\nDune legitimizes sci-fi as high art in precisely the way the new Star Wars trilogy has not, and I say that as someone that did not hate said trilogy. This is blockbuster auteur filmmaking instead of the pomp and flare merchandise family grab of Star Wars.\n\nDune is film making with every member of production on point. And, frankly, I feel its about time.", "> Sure, but we don't see it. We're just on one planet, and then on another one. We don't explore much of any planet, we don't see the people of different planets.\n\nWe literally do though? I'm sorry but did you actually watch the movie? They explicitly show as well as reference intergalactic travel and the infrastructure associated with it multiple times. The entire central plot of the movie outside of the Atreides/Harkonnen conflict is dealing with the unique local population of Dune and that entire storyline is steeped in explanation of how the unique ecology of the planet has shaped their culture and technology. \n\nAgain when you say you don't know why anyone is on Dune or why anyone wants to be on Dune, it just makes me feel like you haven't actually watched the movie. It very explicitly explained the financial incentives in ruling Dune and they very explicitly explain the political subtext of the transfer of Dune to the Atreides as being a power grab by the emperor to spur on Harkonnen hostility against the Atreides which then immediately bears out in subsequent scenes. The Sardukar are explicitly explained to be the Emperor's fighting force and their presence is explained again through those prior scenes addressing the Emperor's allegiance within the Harkonnen/Atreides conflict. I'm not really sure what more explanation you're looking for on them. Sure, we don't literally see the emperor physically, but there are myriad scenes either explicitly showing his power and influence (the transfer of planets contract scene and the Sardukar scenes) or referencing his influence on political conflicts between houses and his power in the galaxy (see all of the discussions that occur internally in both house Atreides and Harkonnen). For sure there was a ton more content the movie couldn't cover for lack of time, but that is why it is broken up into multiple movies.", "Piping hot take.", "I mean you are obviously entitled to your opinion on how effective the narrative was communicated, but:\n\n>\tWe’re just on one planet, and then on another one\n\nNo. The opening and exposition takes place on Caladan, where the stage is set for the reasoning for the Atreides going to Arrakis: the emperor has designated Leto as the Duke. \n\nWe then go to Arrakis, obviously, as the primary setting of the movie. \n\nThere are also scenes on Giedi Prime, the Harkonnen homeworld, scenes which exist solely to provide the narrative details you’re saying don’t exist in the movie.\n\nAlso Salusa Secondis, the Sarduakar prison planet, which is admittedly a fairly short scene setting, though it serves as narrative background for who the Sarduakar are, and why they exist. \n\nI had never read a word of Dune the book before seeing the movie, and I was able to follow these main plot details just fine. Again, each person’s interpretation of how effective the narrative is is subjective, but it’s not accurate to say the movie didn’t include any of this information.", "Did you just not watch the movie? It's made pretty clear that House Atreides is sent there as a way to take them out because the Emperor felt threatened by their power. The \"bad guys\" want it back because controlling the spice makes them incredibly powerful and they are in league with the Emperor's plan to eliminate Atreides. It's also made pretty clear that the Sardukar are the empires elite fighting force, like the Navy Seals of the Dune world. It really feels like you just didn't watch the movie, and if you did; I don't think it's the movies fault that you weren't able to understand.", "Is this a serious comment?", "Scale is what Dune is about. Frank Herbert had notes about a mile high hall on Arrakis that had a statue that filled most of it. I believe he mentions this in EYE, but I can't find my copy to confirm. Everything was just ludicrously large in Dune.", "Rather then auteur, I'd call it pretentious. The soundtrack and style is trying to imply deeper meaning where there doesn't appear to be any. All style, no substance. The film only tells, never shows everything important. Arrakis is hot, because they tell us. They tell us there's very little water, and they tell us that the trees are opulent because they need water, and they tell the Duke to go inside and close the windows because it's gonna be deadly hot, but nobody ever shields their eyes from the sun. Nobody ever gets thirsty. Nobody comments on the heat. There's no heat haze. Nobody has cracked lips or sunburn. Nobody sits in the shade. Nobody ever drinks the precious water. Nobody dies of thirst. We're told it's hot but we never see it. Is that auteur, or amateur?\n\nAnd this affects everything in the film. Nothing is ever shown, probably due to the auteur minimalist design. Nothing ever happens in the background. Contrasted against the huge ships, we can see the huge scale in which nothing is happening, which ironically makes the world look small. Is that auteur? Does auteur just mean ignore basic moviemaking techniques and film like it's 1940?", "> ...any big film it's probably him [Hans Zimmer]\n\nJohn Williams would like to have a word.", "In my case I watched it in theaters and for whatever reason my theater's screen was obscenely dark.

But it sounds like your grief is more with critics and the execution of representations of desert. You are, of course, entitled to your opinion.\n\nBut I would also suggest this was not a film made for you. The original text has far more rhetorical discussions and conversations of telling instead of showing. This is the \"action version\" if you will. The Foundation series (the novels) would also be examples of long dialogue rich novels, which by your standard, would fall under pretention, but not the actual definition. \n\nSounds more like your issue is that others are enjoying it as art rather than your interpretation of art. There's room for everyone.", "Not really. Star Wars has been killing it with scale since it started.", "I must say I disagree with almost all you’ve said but ultimately respect your opinion and appreciate hearing a different perspective for once and I’m going to upvote you for elaborating your thoughts very well\n\nMy only question is: have you read the book? I personally think a lot of people on Reddit are giving the film a bit of “extra credit” for adapting elements of the story they were already familiar with about as well as any filmmaker has so far. \n\nTo those who went into this movie blind, I have heard a lot of similar thoughts to yours and believe they have merit.", ">It sounds like you've had an emotional and visceral reaction to the film (specifically its representation of heat and Arakis).\n\nI did not. That's the problem. My reaction to the representation of arrakis reflects the characters' reaction: none at all. Watch the scene where the ship door first opens on arrakis and Paul steps into the desert for the first time. Nobody reacts at all. Not even a tiny bit. Our first real look at this new planet, and nobody cares. \n\n>What specifically did you find that attempted to impress by affecting greater importance, talent, or culture, than the film actually possessed?\n\nThe entire soundtrack, pretty much. The bagpipes drowning out the harkonen attack is clearly meant to evoke the glory of house Atreides, but house Atreides hasn't done anything glorious, they just get stomped immediately. It's trying to pull off The Ride of the Rohirrim without doing The Two Towers first. \n\n>Showing and telling as means narrative covention does not fall under pretension, unless you have a different definition?\n\nI'm using pretension to mean all style, no substance in this context and tell don't show falls under no substance. The film is trying to pull off innovative and avantgarde techniques but fails at the most basic tenets of storytelling and moviemaking. The desert is just one specific. \n\n>But I would also suggest this was not a film made for you.\n\nIf the film was made for people who are impressed by loud music and slow motion then you're right, it wasn't made for me. If it was made for book readers only, then it wasn't made for me. But I doubt that is the case and I'm pretty sure I'm the intended audience. I just think the film isn't very good and won't stand the test of time. Like The Hobbit, when the honeymoon phase wears off and people have watched it a few more times public opinion will shift, and Dune will be widely considered boring.", "If you think Dune was some special film, you have little knowledge of films in the past..", "I have not read the book, but I've seen the Lynch version, so I wasn't totally blind going.", "I don't think it was a special film overall, but visually and audibly it was.\n\nStar Wars Episode 3 is a bad film. And that opening scene does nothing close to what Dune does in terms of portraying scale.", "A film needs more than good visuals and good sound to be a good movie.", "Did I say otherwise?", "Also: The Voice, Sardaukar throat-singing, and sandworms.", "Are you drunk or high?", "Scale was never really the issue, the issue was the prose and the fact everything is an internal monologue in the books.", "> The score never shuts the fuck up. \n\nIt's a mess. One of the most surprising things about the reaction to this movie, to me, is how many people are gushing over the score for some reason.", "You'd have to be drunk or high to think the prequels were any good. They were universally reviled when they released for a good reason. Must be a coping mechanism from new trilogy dropping the ball so hard.", "Good luck finding anyone who agrees with you. Enjoy life under that rock.", "They still haven't released it yet in my country.", "Funny enough, he called out in a comment afterward that he knows there are many big film composers (first one on his list was John Williams haha).\n\nIt was more of a line to try and say even if you don't know him by name, you have probably heard Zimmer's work." ]	42	videos	[deleted by user]

It was hard to claw my way out of debt and not having anything but a car and a few changes of clothes.\n\nI don't have the grand solution to homelessness, because as you say there are many who are unwilling to do what it takes to get back on their feet. But we could start with those who are willing to follow the rules: accepting mental health treatment and/or medication, getting clean from drugs, not trashing the place, etc. It wouldn't be cheap to monitor and would require pretty regular police assistance, but I can't tell you what a tiny room to sleep in safely would have meant to me.", "Yea.

It’s been a hard couple of weeks since and I feel a sense of loss and the world doesn’t look so bright to me anymore. 3 days after we met, I took a new job that that I’ve been wildly lucky to get.

Forest fires would normally burn away underbrush year after year. The fires would not be bad enough to kill trees. Now fires have decades of underbrush to burn up causing faster spreading and hot fires.", "The correct answer is you!", "Your probably thinking of back burning, which is not a forest fire.", "You're correct, I don't know why you're being down voted. Neatly all forest habitats on Earth are adapted to fires occurring semiregularly, with some forests adapted to frequent fires and even frequent intense fires. The function of fire in these ecosystems is usually that of a decomposer of dead woody tissue, as the habitat in question is too dry for much of the year to allow for biological decomposition to keep up with the growth of plants. This means that fuel material like dry leaf litter, twigs, and dead grasses accumulate until a critical mass is reached which makes fire very likely, but when a fire does roll through its only a very low burning event, slowly crawling through the underbrush with the odd flare-up at a particularly dense patch of grass or dead shrubs and so forth. After the fire is gone many seeds which are adapted to wait for fire to remove competition will begin to germinate, taking advantage of the increased levels of light reaching the forest floor and the pulse of available nutrients like potassium released from the ashes. This process overall greatly benefits the forest ecosystem and ensures a stable equilibrium.\n\nWith humans involved things change. People don't like having uncontrolled fires nearby communities, which means fires are suppressed near populated areas. Unfortunately, this just means that fuel supplies continue to increase, as typical decomposition is very slow. This ironically leads to the greatest buildup of woody fuel material closest to inhabited areas, making the fire risk much worse. Also, as climate change decreases rainfall across areas already prone to dry seasons, fires become even more likely to start and spread and grow to massive sizes. In extremely dry conditions even full sized trees can act as tinder, with a single lightening strike almost guaranteed to set a smolder in the wood which will grow hotter and bigger until the entire tree erupts into a blaze which can spread from tree to tree. Most of the places we're seeing these hugely destructive fires do not have a long growing season due to drought to begin with: what we are seeing there is not part of the natural cycle, but the conversion of dry season forest into desert scrubland, as large trees will no longer be able to tolerate the increasingly dry environment and dense foliage creates an exponentially increasing fire risk. A large part of California fits this description, which is especially unfortunate because of the interesting diversity of plant life to be found there, having had millions of years to diversify and adapt as plant lineages spread down mountains into valleys and back up the other side, having to evolve new solutions for the changing local conditions along the way.", "Nope. Natural fires happened way more often but we keep them often too controlled.", "> I don't know why you're being down voted.\n\nBecause FIRE BAD!", "> With humans involved things change. People don't like having uncontrolled fires nearby communities, which means fires are suppressed near populated areas.\n\nMy understanding is that this isn't true of humans in general, but it's specifically a modern thing; for example Native Americans back in the day would light controlled fires themselves in part for the reasons you say. But then in the 1900s the US made all-out fire suppression the national strategy.", "Well yes, I should caveat and say that humans living in permanent structures with modern land and residential ownership rules are the ones with a strong incentive to try to prevent fires. Really it's a holdover from British society, where natural fires are extremely uncommon due to the year round availability of water and a temperate climate causing the forest ecosystems there to rely on biological decomposition of permanently damp woody material. In that environment, preventing fires makes sense, there's not really any negative consequence because everything's adapted to handle the rate of plant material buildup anyway. This is also pretty much the situation in the eastern and southeastern united states, with year round humidity and temperate to warm temperatures. It's only as you look further west that you see precipitation decrease and summer temperatures rise enough for fire to become inevitable and therefore fire adaptations become commonplace.", "So I should be starting forest fires?", "No idiot, we need to rake the forests! /s" ]	11	videos	Only who can prevent forest fires?

Musicians are always jamming and drafting new melodies.", "While I don't completely disagree, I just want to add that George and especially John were pretty low energy and not particularly enthusiastic during a lot of these sessions, and it kinda falls on Paul to get things up and moving and to provide some direction, which he seems to do VERY well. They even talk about how they've been lacking discipline for the past couple years. So while coming off as douchey and controlling, his behavior seems kind of necessary at the time.\n\nI've played in a few bands in my day and in my experience even the most brilliant artists I've known still need support, encouragement, direction, etc from time to time to bring out the best in them. It can be painfully difficult to do at times, because at the end of the day the creative process is supposed to be fun and relatively carefree, and no one wants to be \"that guy\", but sometimes someone needs to step up and fill that role (if you want to be able to give the fans what they want, that is). \n\n\nSo I'm playing devil's advocate a little bit, and I'm not defending or attacking any of the band members, but I think what the doc highlights REALLY well is the necessity of all the working parts of all the roles each of them played that kept the machine rolling.", "The band The Beatles could have been.", "This goes for anything creative.

You don’t sit down and make something polished in 10min.", "It's a common natural method, yes. What's your point?", "Fairly obvious Paul was the mastermind behind most of the material much like Pete Townshend was for The Who. Usually it's a group of good/great musicians and then 1 of them is the driving force behind the melodies and lyrics.", "This is cool", "This was so cool to see.", "There's a moment where Ringo asks one of the crew members if he has any pep pills?\n\n\"Let me have a few of em\"", "Heroin (not injected).

I guess I could have just said \"hard day\" since that could also make someone tired.", "This was my favorite part. If you look up the history of the song, Paul had come up with it a few years earlier and had briefly brought it out while they were making the last record, but watching the rest of the band here it's evident they're hearing the song in earnest for the first time. We're watching The Beatles listen to \"Let it Be\" for the first time.\n\nThey don't do anything with it until the next episode but it makes you feel like you're privy to a moment in history. \"Get Back\" would be a signature song for any other band, but \"Let it Be\" is a signature song of The Beatles, and as Paul begins to noodle with it on the piano we as the audience know the song better than the other Beatles sitting next to him. It's like being in the room while Shakespeare thinks \"Hmm, maybe I'll have Hamlet come in and talk about suicide.\"", "Yeah I agree with you. And I think one of the things that makes this fantastic documentary work is just seeing how they all fit into the dynamic that makes this album and their late career what it is. Like, yeah Paul is controlling, but no way this album gets made if they allow John to take control.\n\nOn the other hand, I think John clearly has no interest in this album, and that is okay too. This part is purely me surmising, but the only times he seems really interested or engaged is when they are making this fun, new, weird music. I think he just wants to be making music as a form of art, and hates the idea of them setting this two week deadline for an art project. So here is John pushing hard for that because he perceives that is what will make the band continue their success, while John just wants to go back to making fun art with his friends and george wants to be recognized as more than just a backup musician by Lennon and McCartney.", "For as we all know, once properly confronted with evidence, conspiracy theorists immediately renounce their ways.", "Seriously, how do you let that one slip through your fingers.", "How wet was your father-in-law?", "Paul is the Steve Jobs of the group.

In the Beatles Anthology book, Paul and John can't stop gushing about George's songs. They have no problem shitting on each other's songs, but when the conversation turns to George's songs, they can't say enough good things. In particular, Paul and John were just blown away by Within You Without You.\n\nSo their total disinterest in George's music was strange. But the more I think about it, I think the Beatles may have actually been intimidated by George. He had a technical skill that the rest of the group couldn't keep up with. Whether it was bringing in session musicians to play on his songs, or having to teach Ringo how to play the unique time signature in Here Comes the Sun, it seemed like George was always just a little too advanced for the rest of the band.\n\nI think Paul and John may have been apprehensive about trying to contribute to George's music, especially on camera.", "> how are these songs not \"written by Beatles\" the way Zeppelin and Halen songs were? Its clearly collaborative.\n\nYeah I always find it strange. I know that being listed as the song writer was very important for royalties. It's like how you see with Pink Floyd songs a lot of the early ones would have pretty much Waters, Gilmore, and Wright, sometimes even mason on there. But as time went on it seemed like it just become more and more Waters despite a lot of the Waters demos for stuff like The Wall being developed very heavily by the band especially from Gilmore. Until you get to the Final Cut and it's like \"All songs by Roger Waters as performed by Pink Floyd\". I dunno. It never sits right with me. And it's like plenty of bands have main lyracist who still share the credit like Neil Peart in Rush or Granny Butler in Black Sabbath, but there it does come across as more collaborative.", "John may or may not be the biggest douchebag.

He thought he was the only one who cared, and was taking it seriously. \n\nBy the end of the first part, though, they were starting to get it together, and they were loosening up.

She's awful and I can't stand her.", "Because mostly what classes as a song is the lyrics and melody more so than rhythm and harmony - although the latter can be copyright protected it's less of thing.\n\nThat's why so many song-writing duos are one writing the lyrics and the other writing the tune. Elton John et al.\n\nThe problem you have with harmony / rhythm for example, is that literally thousands of songs share the same chord progressions and rhythm - and this has become ever more the case in modern times as popular music has more or less been reduced to a single chord progression.\n\nFor these to be copyrighted they really have to be very distinct. A drum fill as used in 90% of popular music isn't going to be enough.\n\nSo drum fills or whatever done during a performance aren't really song writing per se.\n\nWhere you see bands attributed together as the song-writers it's simply an agreement to share the wealth rather than a notion that the group had an equal partnership in song writing. Even Lennon/McCartney did this notion they both wrote everything when they didn't. They were just agreeing before egos took over to split and share the wealth. And let's face it, Ringo couldn't write his address on an envelope if the others weren't in the room, and Harrison didn't have the creative song-writing ability of the other 2 either.\n\nThe work post-Beatles shows you that the song-writing credits during the Beatles were correctly assigned. Who did what to whom after the fact moot. McCartney has been quick to take the opportunity that Lennon can't speak to push his side and make the record show what he wants it to show. But it seems immaterial as there's enough Lennon and McCartney pop written after the Beatles to show they were both creative song writers.\n\nMost bands work like the bands where you see individual or one or two band members in the credits. The idea that the whole band wrote every song is not really true. Noting that if someone comes into the studio with a song and you're playing it, that's not really song-writing. As I say, it's just early in a bands career when they're all friends and getting along some of them decide to share the money equally rather than fall out.

Can I blame autocorrect on this one? y'all buyin' that?", "Let us know when your album drops", "Get with the program Craig", "Let us know when your album drops", "To me Paul is a great musician while John is a great artist. Imo Paul was born to play music while John was simply born different. The 2 greatest Beatles songs ever (and 2 of the 5 greatest songs ever) are imo clearly strawberry fields and a day in the life and they are a result of John's unique genius. Paul could never create something like that. Now it's of course true that John could never produce such an absurd amount of beautiful melodies that Paul created in his songs like for example Hey Jude and Let it be, however John's gift is much rarer. The person I'd compare John to is Van Gogh because both of them created masterpieces because they saw the world differently.\n\nIt was also generally John songs that pushed the boundary for what music could sound like and his songs were the most innovative songs they made. I’ve mentioned Strawberry Fields and A day in the life however there’s so many more that demonstrate this. Tomorrow Never Knows is imo the most innovative songs in mainstream music history. Norwegian Wood and In my Life covered topics that the Beatles had never touched (and Norwegian Wood was in Mixolydian mode, which was one of the first pop songs to ever use it). John was the one that really lifted the lyrical quality of the Beatles, in large part because he wanted to express how he truly felt, not just make a nice sounding song which Paul never seemed to have a problem doing (although he wrote some great lyrics himself).\n\nNow a lot of the technical innovation was a result of help from both the other Beatles and George Martin, however that innovation came because John had a vision of what he wanted to create, often a vague one, which the others tried to help him make happen. One example of this is Tomorrow never knows. John wanted to try to create a song that would capture the experience of an acid trip so he came in with a song that was just a drone with the lyrics from the Tibetan book of the dead. Paul came up with the idea to use tape loops. John said that he wanted the song to sound like it was being chanted by a thousand Tibetan monks. As a result George Martin and his team invented the Leslie speaker. Another example is Strawberry Fields where John liked one part of one take and one take of another and wanted to use both of them. This seemed crazy because the parts were in different keys and tempo however George Martin and his team managed to mix them together which was yet another massive innovation. This might seem like it was really other people creating all this innovation, however there’s a reason why John's songs were in general much more innovative than Pauls. Paul generally knew what he wanted which meant that there wasn’t a need for crazy innovation to happen to create them (even though his songs were also innovative). John however, because of his vague ideas/visions which he wanted to capture meant that the other Beatles and Martin would try crazy things to satisfy John. It's also why The other Beatles got much stricter instructions of what to play when there was a Paul song than a John song which led to more freedom to innovate. \n\nI agree that we didn't get to see it in this documentary but that's because this is John's weakest album which was a result of his heroin abuse.

It says he was at 45ft deep in the water main so the diver was experiencing around 2.5 atm (don’t want to do the math for freshwater, every 33 ft of saltwater is an additional 1 atm). The air in the pipe is due to a couple things. First the pipe must not have been perfectly level so there was a high spot near the point of failure because when he goes through the elbow on his way down, there is no air present. When the diver exhales air it will get trapped in this high spot with nowhere to go. Welding and burning also create gasses that will be trapped as well. This air is pressurized at 2.5atm. Also, with the hoses and other stuff in there, as well as time constraints of diving at 45ft before needing decompression, this was not the first entry to this spot, meaning multiple divers have been there before this video thus adding to the volume of the air.\n\nFor the delta P, there is none right now, otherwise the pipe would not be full of static water. Outside of the broken area of the pipe is also filled with water at 2.5 atm and is being held back by something. Maybe bedrock, concrete, another pipe, who knows. The danger comes when whatever is holding the water in suddenly fails. Say if when burning, they go a little too deep and puncture whatever is holding the water and it suddenly starts draining into the soil, then you have a problem and the diver could be sucked up against the hole and brutally squeezed through it. Burning rods operate at >10,000F and cut through just about anything. Steel, concrete, bedrock are all no match for the burning rod. We don’t know what is outside of the pipe so it is a very precarious situation. \n\nHope this explains a little more!", "Diver here. This is near perfect conditions for this work, most dangerous part is the cutting gear or broco. It uses oxygen and if enough oxygen builds up in the pipe and is ignited it could easily fuck him up.

Real life begins when you don't need an Aquarium in your home, just a transparent segment in your pipe.", "There was no flow/rush because they de-pressurized the pipe beforehand (probably down to a level to match the river next to it). Otherwise you couldn't just dive into a pipe but would need some sort of pressure lock. \nI first asked myself why they did not empty the pipe with pumps but obviously this would have made any repair of the crack nearly impossible and would have washed out more of the soil around it.", "Came here to say this. I salute you", "I got about 90 seconds of that and then thought - \"wonder what it would be like if his light went out\" - and had to close it.", "Even shallow depths can require decompression if you've been at them for an extended period.

By the way that claim is bogus, but I digress, she's clearly trying to portray herself as a vaccinate skeptic and is firmly in opposition to policies requiring vaccination. She even pulls out the good ol' \"let's look at all the science not just select the science we like\" talking point which is actually the most obvious anti-science dog whistle ever. The subtext to that dog whistle is that actual science, which actively seeks to debunk itself to form newer better theories and move closer to truth over time, is in fact a mechanism of censorship for \"all science\" which actually just means the studies that were debunked, discredited, can't be reproduced, or were otherwise not up to the bar of actual scientific rigor. It's basically projecting her own anti-scientific mindset onto actual science.\n\nThen on CNN she leads with the headline of \"I've been a proponent of vaccinations and mask wearing\" and goes out of her way to dress it up with all sorts of nice phrases that people who understand actual science will enjoy hearing like \"statistically significant\".\n\nIf you get really pedantic, sure, she's not literally saying \"don't get vaccinated\" on Fox News, but she's basically beating you over the head with the implication that you shouldn't.", "You don't need to write \"I learned\" after TIL.

The “27 times” number is in comparison to unvaccinated, never-infected people, which you can find out from reading the original study, but the article everyone talks about has some clever cherry-picking of phrases and numbers from the original study to “support” their incorrect point that vaccination actually increases COVID infections. \n\nIf you read the original study it does say that natural immunity is better than vaccination in preventing disease, but not by that much. The right wing article also fails to mention that the same study shows that natural immunity + vaccination could provide protection above and beyond natural immunity or vaccination alone.", "Actual LOL", "No. A movie trailer is not an omission of the movie.

Her choice of language does the opposite. She is choosing to focus on what the anti-vaccine communities are clearly trying to push - that we don’t need vaccines because you can just get COVID and then have “natural immunity” which is, as per this politician, is 27x more effective than vaccine-induced immunity.

Give me liberty or give me death! Or both!!Unfortunately politics became a central aspect to people’s beliefs of virus protection and this lead us to this mess. Mandates are not the most persuasive means to get us to cooperate. There is clearly misinformation on Covid and vaccination which, most don’t understand (without many years of schooling). That leaves folks to find their trusted sources through information sources that are unfortunately tied to informing us on matters that coincide with beliefs. Yes, me too. Beliefs are most often based on our needs (psychologically) and I don’t mean about simple matters like gravity (simple to believe in, I mean). The numbers show that vaccinated folks were far less likely to be hospitalized or die. This is evident to most people working in hospitals. I don’t want us to vilify one another.

Of course, this isn't 100% true. Nothing in politics or statistics is 100% true though. These types of things are much more nuanced then that but everyone wants things easily explainable and understandable, so they generalize new information into what they already think is true without having to objectively criticizing new information given because that would challenge their standing beliefs, which has worked in finding food, water, shelter, and reproduction so far. It's not even necessary an evil thing to do, albeit over generalization most times is evil in of itself for reasons I won't go into here but should be obvious.
