I, Pet Goat II

I, Pet Goat II is a 2012 Canadian animated short film written, directed, produced and edited by Louis Lefebvre. The film features a commentary on American society and politics, particularly covering presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama, with allusions to Osama bin Laden the War on Terror and Biblical theology and Egyptian imagery in a post-apocalyptic setting. The title is a reference to The Pet Goat (often erroneously referred to as My Pet Goat), the book children at Emma Booker School in Sarasota, Florida read to President Bush at the time of the September 11 attacks which ends stating "more to come". The film is known for its strong use of cryptic symbolism.

gollark: GTech™ standard policy is to have the main ME controller/storage/crafting CPU stuff in one area and then run a bunch of wires out for machinery.
gollark: You get more side-product outputs for slightly more power/processing time.
gollark: Consider auxiliary sieves though. They're basically free apart from needing somewhat more pulverizers and power.
gollark: I guess if you're not really bottlenecked by ore input it's fine either way.
gollark: I see.
