They talk about Anime, but there are other solutions too: foreign movies. The US has always been *very* closed off to foreign productions. When there's a big success overseas, they usually do a shitty remake instead of showing the better original. There are plenty of good movies with the usual culprits like France or Italy (Rapito, C'è ancora domani...), and Bollywood may be an acquired taste but you can't deny its success. And lately I've been watching more movies from Germany or Scandinavia (anything from Fatih Akin, Don't Look away, Blood & Gold, Sisu...)

And why is that ? Low center of gravity ? Torque ? 4WD ? I see them more and more in the mountains where I live and I know they are extremely popular in Norway (not the warmest climate...). I don't think having a huge acceleration is a good thing on snow !

Same. I live in the mountains, where there's snow half the year. When I go down the main road, I stick it in 3rd and don't touch the accelerator or brakes for 15 minutes. I don't care about vintage or 'sport' anything, it's just safe and convenient.
And same thing when going up on very slippery road, you don't want a sudden shift change that make you lose traction.
But yeah, EVs will get rid of that, oh well, I'll see when I get there.

It's difficult to separate using mass spectrometry for 2 reasons: the separation is by AtomicMass/IonizationCharge so you get plenty of overlap of different atoms (I worked on that recently and it is nearly unsolvable); and it uses a HUGE amount of energy to ionize a large amount of matter. If fusion creates basically free energy it might work, but we are not there yet, that's for sure.

Indeed. Flower Moon is an interesting movie with lots of qualities, but the edit is pretty bad. There are multiple time jumps (of years) that take the viewer several minutes to figure out. And they happen just like the continuation of the previous scene. I found that confusing and annoying.
While I'm here I can also do a jab at Oppenheimer. The first half was excellent, yes, but after that it's just a long interrogation scene with self-doubts and nasty politics and is frankly boring.
Anatomie d'une chute was pretty good.
