This is the Confluence Museum in Lyon, France, built in 2014, which has an interesting geometric shape. The Austrian architects from Coop Himmelblau missed an occasion to integrate a Klein Bottle ...

@josipk it's not that easy since the atoms have different weight, and some of the petrol does not result in CO2, but yes, the additional weight comes from the Oxygen atoms...

I admit that I did not know that burning 1 liter of petrol (=0.79kg) creates 2.3 kg of CO2. That's almost 3x it's own weight. That's pretty shocking.

Very interesting and provocative article (not sure I agree with conclusions, but they are worth considering seriously).

He talked about electric cars. I don't know anything about cars, so when people said he was a genius I figured he must be a genius.

Then he talked about rockets. I don't know anything about rockets, so when people said he was a genius I figured he must be a genius.

Now he talks about software. I happen to know a lot about software & Elon Musk is saying the stupidest shit I've ever heard anyone say, so when people say he's a genius I figure I should stay the hell away from his cars and rockets.

@chrisoffner3d @SebRaschka yes of course it is known how it was done. Perhaps it is my own expectation that it should be considered live action since there are also real actors not represented by avatars.

@SebRaschka my opinion: the tech related scenes (boats, helicopters etc.) looked real. The nature related scenes not so much.

@SebRaschka I didn't enjoy the movie for other reasons, story related, but generally, it does not claim to be animated. Pretending to be live action but looking like anime was not a positive aspect for me.
