It's basically the same as old Karel Zeman films, he uses it for highly stylized look but here it is used for invisible VFX.

It is surprising that these effects didn't change much, now they are aided by computers.

When I see how some of our politicians can run away from justice, it isn't that weird.

But our justice system is truly independent from the political one.

 

For me it is the concept of registering to vote. I am citizen so I have the right to vote automatically and only thing I need to provide is some accepted ID.

If you really need/want to, use foreign coverage of it. Maybe BBC or other English world wide news will have something (DW, 24France).

You will get mostly unbiased info and it is usually more chill than the heated debates. I use this sometimes but for my country it doesn't cover much news.

Because selective breading is technically a form of genetic engineering/modification. I think it's fine and we do it for thousands of years.

New methods make it easier, faster and gives more options what to do (modified proteins...).

Sorry the only one that I used is in Czech. If you want to look it up:

"Pivařka" ISBN 978-80-7565-108-2

It has more general information (little bit useless for homebrewing) but half of it are recipes.

Any recipie book for homebrewing.

It just gives you ideas what to do, you have to figure out/iron out the techniques. They are for each settup different so with any book/manual you have to tinker with it yourself.

If you don't know anything about Westworld - don't read reviews...

The mindfuck from the first season is worth it when you go blind in to it. The soundtrack is making the vibe of it even more disturbing/disorienting.

More general answer than you expected, but...

I really like when the sound design in movies makes sense - it "plays" in radio, gramophone...

For example "Black hole sun" cover in first episode of Westworld is just brilliant and caught me off guard (I didn't know what it is about).

Old enough that I briefly encountered floppy disks but still young enough that someone tried to explain to me what the "save" symbol means.

Other thing is there are small communities with 1-2 mods so you know them and they aren't usually "the superuser" that mods 10 different communities.

I don't say there are none of them, just that it is usually small and you recognize the mod that just steer his small community.

For wine it is universal, but yes I can't get decent cider without paying premium, I think that in UK it is different.
