It has gone to shit.
In some cases like McDonald's, the ingredients have been on par while the cooking quality has tanked.
For a lot of other places, both the cooking and ingredient quality tanked.
Taco Bell is probably one of the few major chains I still eat at because their ingredients are hard to fuck up cooking and putting it together isn't that difficult.
I would have a 1 on 1 conversation with one of the psychologists running the group about what you're going through. Maybe this something you can work through or maybe this kind of group therapy isn't for you. In any case, it is better to talk about what you're experiencing.
It is possible to price because studios are playing the odds. They might make money on one show but lose money on three others. Uncertainty gets baked into a lot of the initial decisions.
And we are seeing that production budgets are getting slashed on television shows compared to a decade ago because the streaming money doesn't compare to cable money.
Full price is being able to guarantee that you make your money back on the average release.
I didn't take the photos.
I know, but my response sparked further discussion so it's cool.
Acts of God get companies out of a lot of financial burdens, so there is a financial incentive to continue labeling climate related natural disasters as Acts of God.
That said, insurance companies know the odds on events and are pricing in the risk of climate change even if they want to keep the worst instances as Acts of God.
I'm not a native German speaker, but I figure I should add some bit of context.
Acting on stage is far different than acting on a camera. Facial expressions are exaggerated. The body is used more to communicate emotion. Speech is louder and more exaggerated. Most stage actors have to be told to tone down their acting when switching to film or TV because you can see more acting on a screen than in person.
Hitler gives his performances as a stage performer, but we are watching his performances on film in close-up.
I find it interesting compared to the USA.
The USA has migration from richer parts of the country to select poorer parts because the lower cost of living makes up for the lower wages. There are also states that built themselves in part on the back of being a low cost of living place to retire.
Why isn't Europe there yet?
People 15 years ago used to pay for most television from cable. Netflix, back then renting DVD's, made a paid streaming service by buying the rights to stream for pennies on the dollar.
We're now at a point where streaming is what makes money for most shows, so there isn't the subsidy coming from cable or broadcast like there used to. A TV show is expected to only make its money on streaming.
It turns out people don't want to pay the full price for content, so streaming companies are experimenting with ads to fund the difference.
Both programs were developed to work on high end consumer laptops, which meant being able to work on IBM PC and therefore DOS.
Those programs also were likely 2D in their initial versions in the 1980's. They were also competing against human drafting, which was considered to be industry standard at the time.
Cost and ease of use were likely more important than other potential users of 3D software, so they went with DOS and made the transition to Windows.
6 is minimum. I usually expect 10.
