In general the model of fountain didn't seem to matter much. It was clear some had been hooked up poorly or just had a poor water supply. But if the fountain was in a newer building or near a gym, then they were good quality.
Could also be that they are poorly maintained.
A lot of the chilled ones have an internal filter what needs changing, or else the water quality/flow varies a lot depending on whether they had a bypass and good pipes.
Just because something is a social construct doesn't mean it's a bad thing to be ignored.
Being alive is a social construct. Humans decided that some things counted as alive, and other things did not. Nature doesn't care if a bunch of chemical reactions are happening inside a cell, or in a glass tube. It has no objective definition of "alive".
On the bright side, the camera/Switch doesn't use a proprietary connector, so you can plug a lot of cameras into the thing, and it will generally work.
It's not like the DS days, where if you wanted to plug a microphone in in addition to your headphones, they had a special connector for the mic part.
Exactly, scientists have been saying this forever but evil oversized bipedal crocs sell.
It honestly feels like a marketing issue more than anything. A non-zero amount of people think modern dinosaurs are "boring" because they don't look like Jurassic Park.
Compared to big fluffy unicorn pigeons that eat each other.
Like people would happily be swooped by a magpie if given the chance.
A knee-high raptor who will happily leap up and bite chunks off of larger prey whilst they're still alive and kicking seems like it would retain much of the terror.
Eve if he suddenly no longer had influence over Tesla, he's ruined their reputation enough that others have had time to catch up and make better vehicles.
He's also very particular about the factory and the chocolate it makes. Candy with a hint of gloop sounds about as appealing as Gloop fudge, and Wonka may just chuck out the whole batch.
Wonka didn't defy the laws of reality just so he could cut corners in the factory.
"Drill, baby, drill!" has always been an immensely stupid rallying cry, even if you don't care about the environment.
But a funny one, if it was in an Austin Powers movie.
Fun fact #2: Not all oil is equal. Refineries are designed to process certain grades of oil into specific products, and different parts of the world have different grades. Refineries also often blend oils from different parts of the world to get the characteristics they need for their process.
And the infrastructure to do that doesn't currently exist. Even if they could drill overnight, they don't have the pumps, platforms, and refineries set up.
I feel like people overblow the Elon Musk reference. Even putting aside the plot twist, it's been nearly 200 years from now, and they had the whole nuclear apocalypse in the early 2000s, which would only further muddle things.
People today praise Thomas Edison, and he was not that much better in many respects.
It's entirely reasonable for someone in the 23rd century to lose some of the details that we might have today.
You say that, but we seem to be at least on track to a better 2050 than they had.
We've not had a eugenics war, drug-controlled supersoldiers, nuclear conflagration, nor a mutant genocide campaign, and we may not get the second and fourth.
Could also be that they are poorly maintained.
