A Dyson hand dryer in Star Trek (2009)

- Bravo
- good one!
tbf peak engineering usually survives without too much needed design changes. For instance, pencils and paper have looked the same for quite a while now. And the Dyson hand dryer's engineering is even peakier than those. It's so refined that I think it's reasonable that it'd keep the same form through the year 2255.
edit: I didn't think I needed this because I was comparing the invention of the Dyson hand dryer to the invention of the pencil... but uhhhhh... /s
- I thought most hand dryers were bacteria traps? Unless they've made some changes since.
  
  I didn't say what it was engineered for
  
  Oh, they are. It'd be cleaner to lick the general toilet seat than to lick your finger after using one of these. I don't use them at all.
  
  It's possible that the Dyson driers do a miny Baryon sweep of your hands....except it doesn't ablate your hands off.
- These dryers are no where near peak design. They are disgusting bacteria traps. If your conducting scientific experiments then maybe.
- They've already changed the design of these dryers so that the water from your hands is sprayed on the floor instead of collecting at the bottom of the dryer.
- Same reason Star Trek should refrain from mentioning still-living people.
It was pointed out to me once that the engine room scenes were filmed in a brewery and now I can't unsee it.
- Anheuser-Busch brewery at Van Nuys, California.
- Which one? The first one they used the "create a sun" fusion experiment in Livermore Labs, not a brewery.
  
  You're misremembering. The first one was the brewery. Into Darkness was the labs. The first one had the scene with Simon Pegg in the pipes between brewery tanks. Into Darkness has Pine go into the fusion lab to realign the warp core.
- At times you can hear Peter Griffin giggling in the background.
24th century sonic urinal. What's weird is that there's a camera right above it. Do restrooms not have privacy in the future? 🤔
- It's the Medbay. They have to thoroughly review your pee.
We're one step closer to the future!
Guy on the right looks like he is drunkenly telling a story to his sober friend (never saw the movie so maybe Im right?)
- He might be, but he is having issues due to all the numb tongue!
I hated this fucking movie in the theater
- No one cares.
That’s a urinal
