Simple:

He and his crew had 2 years of prep for Lotr, storyboards, finding locations, making props and sets, etc.

New Line Cinemas forced him to do that same prep in 6 months for the Hobbit. Allegedly they didn't even fully finish the script and had to cut in Del Toro scenes.

Where it is nice is when you want to lie down you don't have to untangle the sheets.

You just lie down and the sheets are perfect.

Also its nice to tuck them in at least partially to make it easier to make.

That everyone will accept the loss of the real internet for the dystopian nightmare we have now.

And that it will get worse in ways we cannot imagine.

We saw Nazis as bad and shunned them.

Gen Z and Gen Alpha created Incels.

There is a shifting of themes that basically tracks with the corporate takeover of the US government.

  1. (1993) Companies fucking around with systems they don't understand is the problem. Rich guy underestimates nature.
  2. (1997) Rich guy learned lesson. Corporate greed did not.
  3. (2001) post-dotcom crash: A rich fucker and his stupid family learn the lesson about the company that fucked with nature. Governments are bad for not interveneing.
  4. (2015) post-Birther: Company and its rich founder are naive and innocent. US Government and US education are the bad guys.
  5. (2018) Corporate suits are the good guys. Science is the bad guys.
  6. (2022) A (suddenly) European company is the bad guys. Science is again the bad guy. Americans are the good guys.
  7. (2025) The US company and Military are the good guys.

The thing is that they don't want an end to those services in reality.

They want an end to the imaginary concept of those services as sold to them by the GOP and corporate media.

She's an old school Archeologist(read: basically a fancy thief), not a Zoologist/Paleontologist.

The GOP and Democratic sychophants wish that they had renamed their party this first.

I remember when a company doing road work did do due diligence, called, was told exactly where an oil pipeline was.

Then they hit the pipeline.

Turned out that the US oil company had lost the maps showing the precise pipeline location and had lied to everyone.

Fuck big oil.

What is the scope of the zoning plan densification?

If they're taking single family homes and putting up high rise towers; if the city did not expand transportation or public services(water and sewage) in any way (bigger sidewalks, buses, trams, bike lanes) the assholes are right.

Gardaworld caused an office building to be very, very infested with carpenter ants.

It was about balancing the budget in his favour.

When Trump planned to cut space exploration, that was not in his favour, so he lashed out.
