The robot guy subplot made no sense at all - everyone said that he's a cold, unfeeling machine; yet he's the most emotional character of them all, all the time angry and yelling and screaming. Many good ideas there and nicely designed, but overall, eh, it didn't pull me in, everything felt too scripted.

Your tech does not require polarizers, but requires heaters. What is the total final efficiency, compared to LCDs? Why are you expecting that something heated up to 200 Celsius (and constantly re-heated and re-cooled?) will have a long life span?

Whichever is most attractive to you. Or if you care more about making sounds/music than playing technique, synthesizers can do everything (or at least close enough that most of the audience don't recognize the difference).

It does get below freezing outside, but I'm heating it enough on the inside that the water pipes never broke from ice. It's an old house that I've inherited, there are no simple and cheap solutions. :-(

Not that unusual... at home, I can either heat the bathroom or the kitchen.

I'm not convinced that that was the intended message, getting another chance at better life, who knows what happens / what the tide brings. Because he literally gets it - the package he decides not to open - and doesn't use it. Yes, he "uses" it later, but he couldn't have known whether it's better for him to use it immediately, later, or never.
It's all just random decisions and luck; he could have decided to open all packages, or not open three or five of them instead of one. It doesn't mean anything.
If there is a message, then I guess it's something like that one should try to be clever and find solutions, like Mark Watney. And everyone makes errors and bad decisions occasionally.

Just ask ChatGPT something like "write me lyrics for a song, this long, in style of this artist, mentioning this".

Joaquin Phoenix, because he was actually so good in Gladiator and I'm apparently having difficulties separating the actor from the role.

Actually this one probably would be flammable, and due to natrium might explode if it gets wet.

"Write me lyrics this long, starting with that, mentioning these, conclude with those, in style of that person" or just "continue this: blah blah blah..."
