Museum of Science and Industry is amazing. But if into historical artifacts, this exhibit (and how it got there and was moved into that space) is especially worth the visit: https://www.msichicago.org/explore/whats-here/exhibits/u-505-submarine
Give it to this guy.
What about the frunk? Might have to corkscrew them in a bit.

The same issue has been true in the broader tech industry. One solution is if you’re bidding on a fixed contract, to put strict cost control measures and limit the number of revisions.
Another is to move into specializations that they can’t get elsewhere. Be the place you go for water effects, or amazing space travel, or realistic humans. If you’re relying on After Effects, or Houdini, or Maya, anyone who has access to the same tools becomes your competitor. But create plugins that nobody else has and makes you special and you stand out.

It’s really unfortunate that it has come to this. I’ve been handing out tents, sleeping bags, clothing, food, and donating money when I could for years. It feels like shoveling sand in front of a tsunami.
If anyone has a workable idea – that hasn’t already been tried – on how to solve the homeless problem that is fair to the unhoused, local homeowners, business owners, towns, and taxpayers… now is the time to step up.
