On a walk through the site while it was still under construction, as workers sawed, sanded, hammered and welded, Ogata paused and ran his hand along a rough slab of limestone lining the stairwell leading to the basement, where the contours of the 32-seat tearoom were beginning to take shape.

Whether the Chicago brass would be recognizable in a blind test is open to debate — many of the regional styles that once differentiated orchestras have been sanded over in this age of jet-setting maestros and more peripatetic players — but it is still considered one of the jewels of the orchestral world.

Inside, there are found assemblages, some from her family farm in Tennessee, like a dried ham hanging from the ceiling, a bundle of suspended metal rods, and the trunk of a pine tree quartered and sanded smooth — though you can look between the pieces and see the interior-facing sides, still rough with natural bark.

Like Donald Trump in America, the Party for Freedom in the Netherlands and Marine Le Pen in France, the FPÖ leadership has sanded off the most overtly racist edges of traditional far-right politics and blended flag-waving, anti-migrant social policies, a redistributionist economic credo and the language and style of anti-establishment insurgence.

Bradsher described that portrait, comprised of marketing reports from the major automakers, as follows: The evolution of the SUV from rugged military cosplay to the vehicle for everyone can be seen in its most potent form with the H2, which sanded down the H1's rough edges while retaining the hulking figure and bestial attributes.

But instead of feeding it a two-by-four you need sanded thinner, you insert a flat piece of cardboard into the Slimbox that gets sliced up with a laser cutter to create a template that can then be easily folded into a box that's a perfect fit for whatever you need to ship.

Box-office domination rerouted the career of Chris Pratt; an idiot-puppy-dog energy made him unique in Parks and Recreation and again in Guardians of the Galaxy, but films like the critically savaged Passengers and the flagging Jurassic World franchise sanded that quality down in the interest of making him broadly palatable to the widest audience possible.

Later this month, he's opening a 10,73-square-foot showroom on the ground floor of 533 Canal Street that's a triumph of Wyethesque minimalism: exposed white brick walls, perfectly sanded cement floors, light fixtures from O.C. White and Isamu Noguchi, and a floating raw steel staircase — its 23 steps fabricated by hand and welded on site by Mr. Birch.

After the grunge explosion and the birth of so-called "alternative rock" brought on by Nirvana's emergence in the early 90s, the rest of the decade's mainstream rock airwaves were plagued by increasingly same-y sounding "post-grunge" acts that sanded down the depressive bile of their forebears until it sounded smooth, frictionless, and utterly corporate.

But Tremaine and the screenwriters Rich Wilkes and Amanda Adelson have sanded it down to a junior varsity "Bohemian Rhapsody," complete with many of the same crude devices: embarrassingly bad wigs, hilariously on-the-nose needle drops (the band plays "Take Me to the Top" as they go … to the top) and declamatory, subtext-free dialogue.

The design was cut into both sides of the wood, sanded down by hand, and then sent to the final stage of beveling the edges, and was put together in Black Rock City using glue and a 500 slat joinery system—an effort to avoid the use of metal screws to reduce the amount of MOOP (matter of out place) created by the installation.

With the former, change has been constant: The bombastic action of the original Far Cry (and its spin offs, like Far Cry: Instincts) was replaced with weighty animation and light simulation elements in Far Cry 2, which, in turn, was sanded down and turned into the much more approachable and forgiving Far Cry 3 and 4—games that also brought flight to the mix in a major way.

This type of entitlement is a consequence of many things in our culture, from entrenched systems of racism and sexism, to the kinds of stories we tell, to a massive religious movement that actively welcomes the end of the world, to the way that so-called "politically incorrect" humor has gradually had the irony sanded off so that it's now just plain old racism, to the way the internet has made it easier for white nationalist movements to radicalize the young and the vulnerable.
