Like the Lego movies, it should embrace the limitations and aesthetics of the blocks, not superficially enhance them. However, I'm pretty sure players with years of experience making YouTube videos will recreate the movie in-engine, block for block.

I wonder if there is a Redstone machine anywhere in the movie.

Logarithmic cannot start at 0 and would have equal spacing between 500, 1000 and 2000.

I am confused because the font seems to be Aptos, the current default in Micro$oft Office, but Excel does not allow any other type of scale on X-Y plots.

"Top 15 Least" or "Bottom 15 Most". You can't have both.

Too bad a hundred million people are still too detached from reality to acknowledge this. The unfucking of America will take at least the better part of a century.

The sad thing is, he will end up winning more than 20 states despite this.

The scale is neither linear nor logarithmic. What?

I'm not saying factories should be forced to switch machinery like with ripple control systems in Soviet countries (contactors in households and industry switching based on signals superimposed on the 50Hz grid), there should just be an appropriate economic incentive in doing so. If it's not enough to offset equipment cost, the factories can ignore it.

There is a lot of operations that aren't timing-critical (their work is cumulative) and can be made cheaper by only using excess energy in daytime.

• Pumped hydro
• Charging grid-tied batteries and EVs
• Air heating/conditioning (especially when used with physical heat storage)
• Water heating/cooling for residential use
• Water heating for pools
• Reverse osmosis
• Furnaces in glass/metal/aluminum factories, crematoriums etc.
• Computation-heavy tasks (AI training, simulations, rendering, crypto mining...)

Solar can be built wherever there's demand for any of these, right? Also, more customers should adopt a real-time energy pricing model.

Well, this is how a large part of how carbon credits "work". You can pay someone to not cut down their tree, for example, and get a certificate in return. However, the demand for wood will likely just get satisfied elsewhere and there is little stopping people from selling multiple carbon credits per tree, or just including trees that would not get cut down anyway.

In the best case scenario, actual carbon gets stored so that it won't decompose (like dead trees or other biomass in oxygen, maybe even plastic someday) or burned (like coal that future people can reach); however, that's energy-intensive (hydrocarbons release energy when turned into oxides and vice versa) and difficult. Obviously, such carbon credits are expensive and they would probably cost an airline as much as fuel for your flight. Sealing an oil reservoir instead of using it, as I suggest, would be the easiest way to effectively accomplish this but oil producers don't want to miss out on the fields they operate.
Unless the "carbon neutral" option for your flight ticket is a large percentage of its price, they are probably using dubious carbon credits - in the typical case, they are like saying your crypto mining rig is zero-emission because it's next to an existing hydroelectric dam. The energy from that could have been used to offset some carbon-intensive production elsewhere (unless all your energy demand is already satisfied by clean electricity and you cannot export, like ~~Iceland~~ some islands).
At worst, it's a pure scam that offsets no carbon and is pushed by Big Oil to prevent buyers from considering systemic changes to their carbon-heavy operation.

Edit: Iceand indeed has an overproduction of clean energy and they use it to extract and export aluminum, which is energy-intensive. Still, as long as there are gas furnaces and combustion engines on the island, there is room for improvement. However, small tropical islands (which cannot host aluminum factories) mostly use solar panels and some storage solution, and computationally heavy tasks are a legitimate use for any excess electricity production.

US and Russia are the only countries exempt from the ban on new territorial claims under the UN Antarctic Treaty. Drilling is also banned but thanks to carbon credits, you don't need to drill to monetize oil: you just need to threaten that you will.

"You know us: we have violated international law before. You can pay us $5/ton to leave some of the oil behind on the off-chance that we do it again. New low for carbon credits!"
